wosbinoton. Nov. 2S.-The impress
SION is growing among those who
hove talked with President Wilson

american delegation will be limited
- three members, and speculation

Robert Lansing, secretary of state.
Henry White, ambassador to
France and to Italy under the Nc
ginley administration.
Colonel Z. NJ House.
There has been no announcement
and there may be none before the
uesident addresses congress next
week but it was said tonight White
9ouse callers had been given to un-
derstand that these men would be the
American envoys. 1t also was indi-
eated very definitely that reports of
the president having decided to set at
.be peace table himself as delegate
we're untrue. He goes to take part in

4 the associated governments and to
see the formal conferences under way,
but not 70 serve as a delegate.
In addition to the accredited dele
gates there will be a large party, in

The exact time of the presidents
sailing for Europe apparently still is
unknown to anyone except the presi-
dent himself. He is expected to leave

session of congress, beginning Mon
day, and the address usually is dehv-
cred the second day of the session.

STOCK MARKET

New York, March, 4-Opening- Reactionary tendencies again were manifested at the opening of today's stock market, developments over the week end provoking further selling. United States Steel, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Marine preferred and Texas Co. registered losses of 1 to 1 1-2 points. Coppers were under renewed pressure with Crucible Steel tobaccos and feathers. Coalers were irregular but specialties comprising the motor group and Distillers aver age one point advances.
 Noon-SeIling assumed wider pro- portions with the progress of the ses- sion, the short interest pressing it's early advantage on another break in Italian exchange and indications of tighter money. Railroads, industrials and equipments added to their first reversals and a few specialties were weak on moderate offerings. Among the exceptions were Baldwin Locomo- tive, American Car, Mexican Petro- leum and some Of the shares con- trolled by pool operators. Liberty F S sold at 97.94 to 97.98, the first As at 97.12 to 97.2S and the second As at 96.3O to 96.56.

5 BILLION LIRE
 IN ITALY'S LOAN

Rome, March 4-The current Ital- ian war loan now aggregates more than 5,OO0,OOO,OoO lire. Finance Min ister Nitti told the senate that when he decided to float the loan and ask for six billion lire eminent fnanciers objected that on account of special circumstances it would not bring as much as previous issues, which had never exceeded 5000, 100000 lire.
 The minister, however, decided to appeal to the public and yesterday subscriptions passed the 5000, ,G30,- 900 mark and the success of the loan was assured. Minister Nitti said this demonstrated the country's resolution and power. The nation, he said, had risen to the occasion because it knew that 5000, ,0O0;000 lire was required.
 Senator Ruffini urged that efforts be made to attract foreign capital especially American, to Italy. The finance minister replied:
 America is lending to us freely and she has given us capital at per cent. She proposes to raise the rate to per cent, which is the current rate there. She is thus treating us as she woz.5 treat herself. Evidently, the debt contracted toward the United States will lead to the establishment of mutual interests, and we. shall do our umtost to attract American capi- to1

Macaroni, of which the foreign pro- duct may perhaps be classed as a lux ury in view of the fact that rne Uni ted States now turns out twelve mil lion dollars worth per annum, shows an importation in 1917 but 1 mil lion pounds against over 16 millions in 1916 and more than 3S millions in 1915. Malt liquors imported in 1917 were but 1 1-2 million gallons against ? 1-2 millions in 1916 and over 5 1-2 millions in 1914. Gin imports in 1917 were only 230,000 gallons against 536,O00 in 1916 and nearly million in 1914. Champagne import ed in 1917 was 167 900 dozen quarts against 2S9,000 dozen in 1916, and mineral waters in 1917, 214,O0O dozen quarts against 574,0000 dozen in 1916 and 951, ,000 dozen in 191 4.Even the gum chewers seem to have yield ed to the general impulse for a reduc- tion of expenditures, since the quan- tity of chicle, the chief constituent of chewing gum shows a fall-off of about 1 million pounds in 1917 when compared with 1916 and over two million pounds when compared with 1915.
 One class of citizens, the smokers, seem to have disregarded their patri- otic duty, for the quantity of cigars, cherootss and cigarettes imported in 1917 was over 8 1-2 million pounds against little more than millions in 1916 and about 1 1-2 millions in 1916; the leaf tobacco imported in 1917 was 30 million dollars value against 26 millions in 1916 and 20 millions in 1915, while the cigarette smokers went to an even greater ex- treme by bringing in over 1-2 mil lion dollars worth of cigarette books and paper against 1-2 million dol lars worth in 1916 and 1 million dol lars worth in 1915.
