From the Financial Ticker.

Opening prices on the Consolidated
Stock Exchange today were generally
the lowest in the early dealings: the
sensational coal conservation order Of
National Fuel Administrator Garfield
came upon Wall Street with dramatic
suddenness and brought about an ini-
tial market decline, but a sharp re-
covery ensued. The undertone Nof
strength displayed. in fact, surprised
many operators who had expected Sc
rious unsettlement on the news of a
drastic curtailment of industry. 1t
was construed as indicative Of a sold
out condition. AS the forenoon pro-
gressed a favorable influence was ex-
erted by a report that there had been
another mutiny at the German naval
base at Kiel. this being accepted as
another straw" that the German In
ternal situation Is near the breaking
point. U. s. Steel. which was actively
dealt in, opened at s9.'but from there i
rallied to 81 "a. Marine preferred

NJ. N. p. was a particularly strong
speciality. 1t opened at IS 3-4 and then
advanced to above IS IL
Baltimore and Ohio made response
to the maintenance of the dividend
rate, early touching 50 IA. after open

ness was on a good scale with the
dealings in odd lots covering broad
range of securities.
J. Frank Howell, president Of the
Consolidated Stock Exchange, said
Concerning latest regulation orders of
Fuel Administrator Garfield, there will
be no interruption to trading on. the
Consolidated Stock Exchange. Neces-
sity Of keeping the market open Is
keenIy realized and physical discom-
forts will not deter members from at

New York. Jan. F.-Professional
traders in Wall Street mad the great
est surprise of the season today. Most
of them went to the street expecting
TO see stocks break badly. Those who
were short put in covering orders for
large volumes of securities, expecting
TO have bargains tumble into their
hands.
Too many did so, with the result that
there was more buying orders than
selling orders after the market opened
There was sharp decline and an i'm
mediate recovery. Not only did stocks
recover all the loss, but the entire list
went higher than the close yesterday.
The advance was under leadership
of steel marine and oil shares. In
the last hour there was general selling.
closing the day with net losses.
Bargain Seekers Saddened.
Bargain hunters appeared in the
street by scores and were much dis
appointed that the market failed TO
break. The session was n wonder
full exhibition of the confidence that
the investing public has in the coun-
try.
Industry is paralyzed enyhow and n
few days of suspension will really in
crease production. There is nothing
unreasonable in the order when prop
erly read. 1t simply makes certain
that railroad cars will be unloaded at

TIRE CONSERVATION ' |S ESSENTIAL IN
 TIME OF WAR
AUTO DEALERS MAY ASSIST GOV. EMINENT IN PERIL
 THRU THIS CHANNEL

Unquestionably the automobile dealers of the country are now in position to give the automobile busi- ness big boost in the matter of iri- creasing the life to tires. And unmis- takable signs show that many of them are grasping the opportunity to advance the cause of tire conserva- tion a1.d incidentally aid in perpetu- ating the industry
 Heretofore, in the main, car deal CTS have not realized the intimate re- lation between a car and its tires. MT. L. C. Rockhill, merchandising expert of the Goodyear Tire & ,Rub- Der company, offers some timely sug- bills can be greatly reduced if car dealers will take a greater interest in their customers tires. He ex- of the automobile dealers greatly greater interest in their customers tires. He expresses the opinion that a majority of the automobile dealers greatly underestimate the import ance of tire conservation.
 Says MT. Rockhill, "The success of the automobile industry in the im- mediate future depends largely on the economical operation of cars. Tire expense is one of the largest items in car operation, and if this tire eX- pense can be reduced, the operation of the cars can, obviously, become much more extensive.
 "Now in the past, car dealers have limited their efforts largely to demon strations of the numerous mechanical functions of the car and a few ad- monitary instructions as to care of batteries. transmission, etc. In short a. condensed and intelligent course oi

AUTO QUESTIONABLE IDEA LAUNCHED
 BY CHALMERS
EXPERT WRITERS ON SUBJECT GIVE TRUE SUMMARY OF PRES
 ENT CONDITIONS

Through the medium of what has been very timely called. an automo- bile "questionnaire,' the Chalmers Motor company has secured from eX- pert automobile writers in every sec tion of the country a true and. opti- mistic review of the motor trade and industry at large.
 The automobile editor whose con- tinUal contact with the local auto row and the outside motor world gives him an intimate closeup and at the same time a long range vision of existing conditions, has been called in to play the part of an "expertr wit ness"
 Editors on all leading newspapers of the north, the south, the Pacific and the Atlantic have been inter viewed by mail and without exception their replies have been sane and solid in proclaiming the everyday necessi- 'ty of the motor car,- the encouraging outlook in the selling division and the
 growing solidarity of the, great, indus try to whom nearly five million Amer ican citizens look for daily susten- ance.
 Extracts from a few reports selected at random, follow:
