Chicago, March h-Thers was heavy selling
Of essh corn on the Board Of Trade today with
the price = secondary condition. Conditions
pointed to the fact that at least part Of the
weakness was the result Of the conference Of
grain men now being held here. as it was 4
geueral belief in the trade that some action
would be taken by this body that would prove
bearish factor in the matter Of price.
There were no sales Of round lots Of corn

RAILROADS FIGURE J
in UPWARD MARKET
Passing of Railroad Bill Reflected
in Wall Street.

New York, March 14.z-With the
administrations railroad bill
through. both Houses of Congress
and ready for President Wilson's
signature Wall Street cheered ma
terialIy today 80
The railroads naturally assumed
leadership and Reading was at the
head. of the list with an advance of
about points. The average up
ward movement In the. list was a
point. Some of the -industrials be-
came active. particularly Corn
Products. General Electric. United
Cigar Stores and American Suma-
ira. .
Buyers Discriminate.
Buyers are beginning to display
some discrimination and that ac-
counted for the picking up of such
stocks as Reading pfd. and Erie
pfd. AS the railroad investment
situation now. stands all securities
connected with the industry are
guaranteed up to the extent OF the
average cravings for three years
ended June 80, 1917. In addition to
that the law gives authority to
make extra allowance fer improve
ments completed within that time
but not put into full operation.
Current reports of tine railroads
are very bad but that should have
no influence on the stock market
because no earnings since last June
count from the investors point of
view. The railroads are going to
gain in every way from this ar
rangement. -
Tobacco Strong.
Buying of Corn Products was
based Aon the considerations out
lined yesterday. That company and
American Beet Sugar Company rep
resent American industries that the
government has reason to favor.
American-Can became active and
word went around the street that
a strong pool was taking it. This
is another stock that is growing in
public favor but it will not see its
real rise until peace is in sight.
Tobacco stocks are in very much
the same position as Can. The rise
Of two points in Cigar Stores today
followed announcement that its
business for January was $4,000
greater than for January, 1917. The
Tobacco business has grown be-
yond the ability of the companies
to I'LL the orders. Underlying the
market is the technical fact that
there has not been such a large in
terest for some months and that il
has not been SO restless as now.
The first two liberty loans were put
through in bear markets. The next
one is starting with a market trend
distinctly upward.

This discussion between the bank
ers OF thu clearing house and Mr.
Harding is of much more than To-
cal interest since il the proposed
regulations were adopted It would
affect balances in New York banks
which represent the deposits made
here by banks in other parts of the
country.
Sometimes there has been compe-
tition between cities. When the
old national banking law was in
existence the banks in Boston or
some OF them were accustomed to
tempt deposits by Offering interest
at the rate of . per cent, sometimes
a little more. Tne Boston banks
we're by law permitted to deposit
in the New York banks a certain
proportionate part Of their reserves.
Upon these deposits in New York.
the Boston banks received never
less than per cent interest, some
times more This method led to the
diversion Of considerable funds in
Boston TO New York and it was not
Hanged until after the Federal Re-
erve banking system was adopted.

According to astrology this is not
favorable day. Mars, Jupiter, Mer-
curry and Neptune are all adverse.
During this sway the influences are
land or sea and a period of anxiety
appears TO be foreshadowed.
For three days beginning tomorrow
danger of explosions may be greatly
increased. Railway accidents may
occur.
Finance comes under a government
that is not altogether encouraging.
Thrift is important, no matter how
opulent one may be.
Again the indications Of a battle on
the sea are strong. Some vancouver
or piece of strategy may be Of seri-
Gus import.
During this government of the stars
letters and all written communica-
tions are said to be subject to sim
lister influences
1t is day more or less unfavorable
to clergymen, as Neptune is in a
place ininlical to spiritual develop
ment or religious interest.
While this configuration prevails
there is likely to be an attitude of
criticism on the part of the public,
WHICH W III llllu IdulL Win railway, ?,

Again the stars seem to indicate
that there will be many deaths among
members of legislative bodies, es-
pecially in the upper house of Con-
gress.
Mars denotes much litigation. In

scandals will be numerous.
Warning is given that the planetary
government is supposed to make men

dangerous to married men.
Trade with South America and

Today We Celebrate
Napoleon Decreed Emperor.

No career in history, perhaps is so
remarkable as that of Napoleon Bon
aparte, and his career is particularly
interesting at the present time, when
war of nations is devastating Eu-
rope, as it did a little more than a
hundred years ago, on smaller scale,
and in which Napoleon was the prin-
cipal character. The son of poor
Corsican gentleman, he became q
lieutenant of artillery at the age of
T sixteen; at twenty-six he was COM
mander-in-chi of the army of Italy,
and at thirty he was First Consul of
France. Finally at the age of thirty
five he assumed the title of Emperor.
1t was on May IS, 1904, after the Tri-
bunate, with the sole exception of
Carnot, had voted for the empire, that
a senatus consultum decreed him
Emperor of the French"
Thus, twenty years after he had en-
tered the military school at Paris as
a charity pupil of King Louis, Napo-
leon himself occupied the throne and
was regarded as the successor of Cae-
sar and Charlemagne. And there is
no denying the fact that he was the
choice of the people. The pageant
which followed the decree that made
him emperor was among the most i'm
posing spectacles in history. In the
summer of 1904 a magnificent mill
tary fete took place at Boulogne, on
the shores of the English channel.
Seated in the chair of Bagobert, in the
presence of sixty thousand troops, and
In sight of the hostile British fleet,
Napoleon passed in procession to
the helmet of Bayard to the veterans
of Italy and Egypt. In December Of
the same year he was appointed En-
peror by Plus VII. in the Cathedral
of Notre Dame. Four months later
at Milan he likewise crowned himself
king of Italy with the historic crown
of the Lombards.
These events occurred barely eleven
years after the reign of terror and the
same Paris that had witnessed the ex-
ecution of Louis XVI. cheered when
Napoleon passed in procession to
Notre Dame. Nevertheless few
stern republicans and Jacobins held
aloof from the new monarch and even
threatened him. On the night before
Napoleons coronation the walls of
Paris were adorned with posters an
nouncing: The Last Representation OF
the French Revolution-for the ben
eft of a poor Corsican family" When
Beethoven, the great German compos-
er, who had inscribed his Sinfonia
Eroica Beethoven to Bonaparte,'
heard that his former hero had taken
the imperial crown, he tore off the
dedication with a volley of curses, and
in later years rededicated the work
ito the memory of a great man."

Famous Women
Elizabeth Christina.

Elizabeth Christina. Princess of
Brunswick -Wolfenbuettel, was the
wife of Frederick II. of Prussia. She
was born in 1715, at Brunswick. In
1888 she was married to the Prussian
ruler, but as this marriage was fore
ed one, Frederick lived separate from
her all his life. On ascending the
throne in 1740, he gave %ar proofs of
his esteem, and on his death bed or
dered her revenue increased, "for,"
he said, during my whole reign she
has never given me the slightest cause
for dissatisfaction" Half of her in
come of $4,000 crowns she devoted to
benevolent purposes. She was a very
accomplished woman, and besides
translating several works from Ger
man into French, was herself the au-
thor of several French works.

This is a queer world. If we could
