gained and that it would be best to
settle Mr.. Thompson's assignment
at once. r..
Commissioner Bertsch moved that
Mr. Thompson be made commissioner
Of finance, but his motion received
no second.
Then Commissioner Kirk cut the
Gordan knot by moving that Best be
assigned the finance department.

for lower lawn rates would be placed
before the officers and stockholders

STORM CONDITIONS dit
UPHELD CORN PRICES
Arrivals Small But Belief General
That the Situation is
Temporary

Chicago, Ills, Jan.7-Storm condt-
tions affecting the railroads tended
today to uphold the corn market.
Prices closed steady at the same as
Saturdays finish to nc off, with Jan.
1.27A and May 1855. Oats gained
quarter IT, half cent, and provisions
Is to 42c. ...,.....e. II
Corn prices hardened little at
times as result of the fact that ow.
ing to train blockades the arrivals OF
corn here showed much smaller tot
al than had been looked for. 1t was
the general belief, however, that
material quickening Of the crop move
ment would not be long delayed, and
there were numerous reports that
empty cars we're being furnished
freely to rural shippers. A further
handicap to bulls was the knowledge
that to comply with the views of food
administration the board Of trade d.
rectors had refused to disturb the
present maximum price limit on fu.
ture deliveries. Under such circum-
stances, any decided show of strength
was out of the question, but on the
other hand the market proved Stub
born against the least important de-
cline
Curtailment of receipts helped to
lift the oats market. Besides falling
off in seaboard stocks counted against
the bears. ...
Provisions advanced because the
supply of hogs was much less numer'
GUS than had been expected.

BAD WEATHER MAKES
A SLUGGISH MARKET
Railway Shares Reactionary in
Spite of Pending Legisla-
ton in Congress.

New York, Jan THE sluggish
course of today's stock market doubt
less resulted mainly from adverse
weather conditions, which material
ly reduced business with important
western and southwestern centers.
Happenings over the week end re-
ceived favorable Interpretation in the
main, especially the war aims of Great
Britain as defined Lloyd George. AID.
vices regarding the Russian situation
also offered fresh encouragement.
The order of the Interstate CON-
MERGE commission requesting rail-
roads to file estimates Of their fin
ancial requirements was in accord
with pending legislation by congress,
but railway shares were often reac-
tionary, when not heavy.
Additional statements of railroad
earnings proved disappointing and re.
ports from leading terminals disclosed
lass than normal movement of traffic
for such important commodities as
grains, livestock and lumber.
Industrials moved within narrow
limits until the final hour, when fairly
large buying of steels, coppers and
shippings effected a general rally.
United States steel rose almost three
points from it's low, closing fraction
under it's maximum at 94B. Special
stocks, notably those owing their &C
tivity to pools, were irregular, but
ended with rallies, including pullman,
which had registered an extreme loss
of over six months. Sales amounted
to $4,000 shares.
Sound investment conditions were
by the speedy absorption of $4,000
GOO American telephone six per cent
notes, offered at per cent yield.
The only feature of the irregular
bond market was the further declines
in liberty As from $3.50 to the new
minimum of 96.42, the 31a's selling at
1884 to 9S.72. Total sales of bonds
(par value) aggregated $4,235 900.
United States bonds old issues were
unchanged on call.

1T has been decided that there will

fore February Is. While boards
should, until they have enough men
classified in class one, send forward
promptly men selected under the old
regulations to make up deficiencies in

however be made very shortly under

For the sake of composing the public
mind and for the the convenience Of
the registrants this information ought
to be given wide discrimination

from class one unless he can positive
prove that the marriage was not made

den Of proof rests with the registrant
