u. S. May Order
5000 Locomotives
Manufacturers Say That Six
Months Will Be Required
to Complete Work

Placing of orders for 5000 locomo-
tives will be one of the first steps that
will be taken by the Central Purchas-
ing Board that is to buy between
S1,0oo,oo0000 and $2,000,0O0,O00 worth
Of new railroad equipment and sup
plies for the transportation lines Of
the country under the programme of
Director General McAdoo, according to
information obtained yesterday in rail
way equipment manufacturing circles.
At the present time, it was asserted,
the locomotive manufacturing COM
panies are in such shape that they
could complete an order of this size
within six months, provided, of course,
the supply of steel and labor was con-
stant. Railroad men are Of the opinion
that considerably more than 5000 new
motive power units are needed to re-
store the railroads to a condition where
they will be able to haul the freight
that is being produced.
Generally speaking, the equipment
manufacturers and the railroad in
terests are in favor of the central pur-
chasing board as planned by Mr.. Mo-
Adoo. The proposal to standardize
equipment, they say, is something that
was bound to come in time, and if it.
becomes an accomplished fact will
greatly assist in improving transporta-
tion conditions generally.

Wages Mounting Rapidly

The total of wages paid by New York
State factories in January was II per

monthly report Of the industrial com
mission Of the New York State De-

number of employees showed but little

The average weekly per capita earn
ings of all employees, including both
men and women, in shops and Offices
for one week in January was $1681, or
so cents less than in the previous
month. In January, 1917, this figure
was S15.28, in 1916 S13.53 and in 1915
$1244

ances group of industry in January en-
ployed per cent more workers than

"Relativcly few reports now fail to
reflect distinct betterment in condi-
tions, following a winter Of exceptional
severity and general dislocation Of bus
mess, and conspicuous instances ap-
pear of reviving activity at sharply
rising prices" according to "Duns
Review"
"While not few foodstuffs," it
adds, "have logically become cheaper
with the changing season. and though
certain other markets disclose easing
for different reasons. most raw mate
rials and finished products are either
fully sustained at high levels or still
tend upward and there is no difficulty
of selling some commodities at almost
any figure.
"With the continuing relief from the
congestion in trnsportation, the re-
covery in transportation makes more
rapid Roadway and outputs are appre-
ciably augmented; but where govern
ment needs monopolizc an increasing
percentage of mill capacity, urgent
efforts to cover regular requirements
are in some eases impelled by fears
that the paucity of supplies available
Tor civilian uses may be accentuated and
there is some speculative buying in an
ticlpation of further price advances
"Yet there are still many drawbacks
in the situation. This is evidenced
both in diminished foreign commerce
movements and in declining bank clear
ings at some leading centres. notwith-
standing the highest average prices

According to "Bradstrect's": "a fur
ther uplift in trade. improvement in
winter wheat crop prospects, extern
sive preparations for food planting in
the South. freer movement in indus
trial channels and progressive better
ment in transportation facilities and
fuel supplies signalize the weeks de-
velopmenus.
"In staple lines, jobbing trade the
country over is showing more life,
and wholesale trade, especially in dry
goods, groceries and packing house
products, Is especially good While
high prices discourage large orders
for future delivery in Eastern markets.
most other sections, particularly those
in which crops arc the sustaining in
huence, seem to evidence anxiety about
the volume of distant supplies, and in
consequence factors are buying freely.
Textiles continue to soar in price. Re-
tail trade in seasonal goods tends
to expand, particularly where warm
weather has prevailed Farm work is
progressing favorably"

Oil Company Cuts
Distribution of
'|Gas'' for Autos
Radical Change in Methods
of Supplying Motor Own
ers Is Foreshadowed

Owing to inability to transport its
products North because the United
States government has requisitioned
most of its tank ships, the Gulf Oil
Corporation announced yesterday that
1t has been compelled to close thirty
nine of its gasolene and kerosene dis
tribution stations in New Jersey and
adjacent territory. This represents
about SO per cent of its total stations
in that district.
In oil trade circles it was intimated
that the action of the Gulf corporation
foreshadowed radical change in the
distribution of gasolenc to automobile
users, involving possibly the reappor
tlonment of territory in the East and
other parts of the country, so as to do
away with the unnecessary duplication
Of service. This, it was pointed out,
might eventually tend to result in an
automatic restriction of the sale Of
gasoene for pleasure car purposes, as
it would decrease the number Of ser
vice stations III given. district.
Car Output Already Reduced
Much interest was aroused in the oil
and motor car industry at the intima-
tlon, in view of the fact that on
Wednesday the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, representing
all of the large motor car concerns in
the country excepting the Ford, agreed
to curtail uncomplcted schedules for
the manufacture of pleasure cars by
80 per cent, beginning yesterday.
While there is no actual shortage Of
gasolene at the present time, the lead
ing interests in the industry have all
practised by all consumers if there
are to be sufficient available supplies for
the government. SO far, no direct
action has been taken to curtail the
sale of gasolene to owners Of pleasure
cars Mark l.. Requa, United States
Petroleum Director said this week that
there is still surplus supply available
for pleasure cars.
At the offices of the Petroleum Di-
rector in this city it was stated that
the action of the Gulf Oil Corporation
IN closing its distribution stations was
known.
Earnings Large
Although the entrance of the United
States into the war has imposed a great
strain on the oil producing and rcfin-
ing industry Of the country during the
last year, earnings of majority Of
the oil corporations continue to run
into large figures. The cash dividend
payments of the Standard Ql COM
panics in the first three months of the
current year are estimated at $26, 49,
TAT, the largest total on record for the
tirsVquartor, with the exception of
1919. The biggest payment in the cur
rent quarter was made by the Standard
of New Jersey, which distributed S4,-
916.919 to it's stockholders. Ohio Oil
paid S3,600000; Prairie Pipe Line, $2,-
100000; Standard of California, 81 ,5OO,-
600. and Standard of New York, S2,-
250,0O0.

Business in Russia
Depreciation Of the Ruble
Makes for Stagnation

"The Russian farmer is back at work
on the land and living on his own
produce" reports Charles l.. Preston,
prominent New England shoe and
leather man, who has just returned
from a trip to Vladivostok on a special
mission for the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, Department of
Commerce. $50 far as food is con.
cerned, he is not badly off, but he is
putting very little on the market. He
barters for the little he needs in the
way of manufactured goods, but will
not accept money for his produce He
refuses to worry about the fluctuations
in the value Of the rublc."
Mr.. Preston, who has spent many
years in Russia, went to Russia on this
occasion in behalf of the government
to find out what could be done to facil.

which would aid in accomplishing it
would be the shortening of trade
credit terms.
Less credit in the retail trade
would unlock corresponding
amount of capital tied up in Gus
toners accounts. The terms given
in some lines Of business are rdicu-
lousy long. Unfortunately, where
credit is cheapened competitive con-
ditions seem to promote longer trade
credits, but as sellers market
now is an excellent time to put the
short term credit into operation.
And it will mean a quicker turnover
for the banking capital of the nation,
a more rapid absorption Of govern
ment loans and healthier condi-
ton to meet the financial demands
of the war and the readjustments

Oppose Limitation
Of Interest Rate
Vote ON Resolution Will Be
Postponed as the
Result

Following meeting Of greater New
York trust company officials yesterday
afternoon at the Guaranty Trust Com
pany, at which Walter E. Frew, chair
man Of the Clearing House committee,
was present, it was learned that q deci-
sion was reached not to vote at the
meeting called for next Monday on the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton of the Clearing House providing
for the limitation Of the interest rate
on demand deposits Of member institu-
tions and those clearing through them.
The resolution to limit the rate states
that it shall be 2 per cent under the
prevailing rediscount rate of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank and shall at no time
exceed 8 per cent.
While those who attended the con-
ference would not discuss in detail the
nature of the opposition that developed d
1T was charged that the proposed plan
does not make fair distinction be-
tween the kind Of business done bv
trust companies and the accounts car
rled by national banks, which. with few
exceptions, favor the amendment in it's
present form. State banks like the
Corn Exchange Bank also urge its
adoption.
Trust company officials. as has been
pointed out before, also complain that
the plan of the Clearing House commit
tee makes no allowance for the fact
that other reserve cities of the country
have recently gone on per cent
basis so far as their demand deposits
are affected. This action is a recogni
tion of the changes that have taken
place the last few months in the money
market, which, they assert, the Clear
ing House proposal evidently does not
recognize.
Postponement of vote on the pro-
posed drastic change in the method of
interest payments on deposits, however,
does not mean that the plan will not
be ultimately carried through, even
though in modified form The Fed.
eral Reserve Board has already sig
nitied it's approval of the resolution
drawn up by the Clearing House Com
mittee, and in the opinion Of important
bankers it would not be surprising if
they went even further in urging ac-
ton toward a limitation of interest
rates. In the opinion of some bankers
the movement may become nationwide.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-09

Speculative sentiment was favor
ably impressed yesterday by the
agreement reached in Congress
over the terms Of the railroad
control bill, which now goes to the
Senate and the House for final action.
The Street saw an early end to the
waiting for the enactment Of the law,
and there was vigorous buying Of
railroad shares most Of the day. The
rails, in fact, played the dominating
part in the days dealings at the Ex-
change, with many of the represent
ative issues showing gains of / to 3
points. Equipment shares likewise
moved forward in response to the
completion of plans at Washington
for the centralization of purchases Of
railway equipment and materials.
The industrial shares as a rule dis
played a strong tone, with a substan-
tial increase in the volume cf activity.
The automobile stocks We're not af-
fected by the proposed plan Of the
manufacturers to curtail output OF
pleasure cars by so per cent. Such
a development has been expected for
some time, owing to the fact that
the government needs the plants
now being used for the manufact-
ure Of pleasure cars for building
motors for war purposes The
bulletin Of the Agricultural Depart
ment covering grain left in farm
ers' hands on March 1 showed re-
serve Of wheat of III, ,272 900 BUSH
els, 1882 900 more than a year ago.
This was not a factor in the days
stock market The increase in wheat
stocks on farms tends to create an
illusion of plenty that doesn't exist.
Wheat has been withheld from mar
ket owing to expectation of higher
prices and transportation congestion,
and the grain in farm reserves rep
resents loss at consuming points.
Besides, seeding requirements will be
larger if the governments drive for
a larger acreage of spring wheat
succeeds.

equipped with a telephone system. The
service is owned and operated by the
