American Automobile AS
ISOLATION to Provide
Transportation
Owners Will Give Aid
Will Lend Their Machines for
Use on Sundays Under
Proposed Plan

Free transportation by motor car
from New York to Camp Upton is soon
to be provided for the wives, mothers,
fathers and immediate families of men
under the colors at the Long Island
cantonment. whose purses cannot stand
the strain of the s2.70 railroad fare
to camp.
James A. Hemstreet, New York man.
ager of the touring bureau of the
American Automobile Association, with
a national membership of more than
100000 announced this yesterday. His
decision was made after he had read
letter to The Tribune from the wife
OF man at Yaphank, who urged that
owners of cars they did not use on
Sundays place them at the service Of
poor people who cannot afford the fare
down to camp"
Mr.. Hemstreet at once developed 3
plan by which free transportation to
Camp Upton will be provided on Sun
days, beginning March 81. The service
will continue through the summer and
fall, and during the winter months as
long as the roads to Camp Upton are
not impas sable.
Assured of Cooperation
The American Automobile Associa-
ton has a membership of $4,000 with
in radius of twenty miles of New
York City. This includes various local
clubs, numbering about twenty-five
Mr.. Hemstreet is assured of the CO.
operation of the members of the asso-
citation in and near New York. He will
begin canvass of his lists tomorrow
and will compile statistics of cars avail
able for the service.
eve will have no trouble in get
ting a large number OF cars for the
run each Sunday" said Mr.. Hemstreet.
auto owners will welcome this chance
for genuine patriotic service. 1t is
mighty important at this time that the
immediate families of soldiers get TO
see their kin in khaki and thus help
keep the home ties intact. It's the
thought of the folks back home that
will take the men over the top. y
One hundred cars Will make tne nrst
run on March 81, according to Mr..
Hemstreet. Four hundred persons can
be accomn odated on the initial trip.
Later. he said, the number of cars will
be increased.
81 will send personal letters to all
the local members of the association
concerning this" continued Mr.. Hem
street. "'Then on Tuesday III go down
to Camp Upton. work out the best
route to the cantonment and prepare
maps for the use of those who drive
the cars on the Sunday runs. Just
now the roads are in bad shape. But
they ought to be cleared up by the end
Of the month.
How to Get Free Trips
an few days I'll have list of
the available cars and the Sundays on
which they can be used. Persons who
want to make the trip should write
to this Office, giving their relationship

The Lure of the Homeland

Some light has been shed upon the
least understood aspects of the recon-
struction period by developments of
the last week. A suggestion of what
may take place in the adjustment of
labor to peace basis lies in the ex-
ceedingly large number of orders that
the steamship companies have been re-
ceiving for the steerage from foreign
ers who desire to return to their home
land in Europe, from which they were
eXlled for four years by economic and
political events beyond their control
Shipping men agree that it is too early
yet even to guess how extensive the
egress of alien workers from this coun-
try will be, but the early rush has been
Impressive. With savings that seem
enormous to them, many of the work
ers are going to their, birthplace, ex-
pecting economic ease for the rest of
their lives. 1t is to be wondered
whether price changes on the other
side will defeat their hopes. At any
rate, in the movement there may be a
possible outlet for any temporary over
supply of labor on this side of the
great sea.

Commodities

Cotton

Inc cotton market was extremely un-
settled and irregular yesterday Trad
ing was not more than moderately &C
tive, but the price movement was vio-
lent, with an early rally of IS points.
Followed by break Of 70 points and
recovery of DO points in the case of
January contracts. The general list
closed steady at a net decline of II to
5o points, generally II to 33 points be-
low Fridays closing figures.
The confused state of affairs reported
IN the goods trade seemed to be largely
responsible for the nervous and unset
tied feeling around the ring. The buy
ing TOR government account has stoned
and IN some cases contracts are being
cancelled, while civilian demand has
not yet expanded sufficiently to make
up for the falling off in army business.
Ihls, at least, is the condition reflected
in reports reaching the cotton trade,
and Fall River advices said that. de-
!lverles on government contracts hav-
ing been stopped, further goods pro-
ouced on such contracts will soon be-
gin to pile up. Otherwise the news
features discussed around the ring dur
ing the morning were considered bull
ISM very wlntry weather conditions
were reported in the Southwest, and
ness among holders. who in some in
stances are asking 80 cents for their
cotton.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of % to so points, under overnight
selling orders, which were probably
brought in by the weakness of late
FRIDAY. These were soon absorbed, and
before the end of the first hour initial
losses were recovered, with December
and January selling to II points net
higher on covering and trade buying.
The demand then tapered off, and there
was sharp break under liquidation
or realizing and increased Southern
selling. January broke from 2s.1C to
274o, making net decire of SIS points.
and then rallied on renewed covering
closing at 1880. Oth.r months showed
similar fluctuations.
A wire received here from Memphis
reported an excellent demand for apots
and claimed that many factors with

New-York tribune., 1918-11-24

One serious problem that con-
fronted Mr. McAdoo was how to
compel the roads to accept the new
equipment ordered for them Many
had refused, on the ground that
prices were abnormally high. If
labor is to be plentiful, and therefore
more efficient, prices might be low
cred, and the proposed expenditures
heavily increased. Large orders for
locomotives, cars and rails would
obviously go far toward tiding over
the hesitation period" that may en-
Sue. Even at high prices, heavy pur-
chases must be made to put the
roads in condition. Under the high
railway rates now prevailing the
roads might charge part of this ex-
penditure to depreciation. For an
other thing, this quick depreciation
might never take place The roads
themselves are the least in position
to block programme for pros
perity," and with the backing and
aid of the government, the best in
position to play leading role in this
programme.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Neutral exchanges showed a firmer
tone during the last week and francs
and lire were trife easier. Sterling
exchange was steady. Cable communi
cation with Europe was exceedingly ir-
regular. making many customers prefer
checks to cables.
The exchange rate on Canada, which
has been running about 2 per cent in
favor of New York for months, moved
slightly in favor of the Dominion.
Orders were taken at 1 11-16 toward
the close of the week The factor
Immediately responsible for the change
vas the heavy purchases by investors
in the United States of Victory bonds
of 1918. This had the effect of creating
some demand for Canadian funds here
"A more important effect on exchange,
which will be more permanently felt,
was the purchase of Victory bonds on
a large scale by United States COM
panies operating in Canada These
companies had large bank deposits in

every $1,000 exchanged. Nevertheless,
this money was always overhanging the
market Victory Loan purchases have
removed a large proportion of this
money from the market for the present.
There are other factors that will in
f1uence the exchange market. One of
these is the movement of grain from
Canada to Europe. Terminal elevators
IN Canada are filled up, and compare
lively little has been placed on board
shlps as yet, because of the shortage of
bottoms. The United States has big
export surplus of grain, much of which
evidently will be moved first. As

Tor Canadian wheat and other grains.
Inc surplus wheat crop of Canada for
export amounts to about 10000 900
bushels, and in money this will repre-
sent some $14O,00O,OO0
An adverse factor in exchange is the
TACT that considerable obligations in
the way of maturing issues and inter

mum on New York funds will rise
again to per cent temporarily.

Railroad Shares Weaken

Whether or not it was due to Mr..
McAdoo's announcement that he in
tended to quit the job as Director Gen
eral of the country's railways or the
fact that the general market tone was
downward, railroad shares were weaker
=, yesterdays market, registering de-
clines ranging from a fraction to 2
points. Sentiment in brokerage circles
was decidedly mixed over the future
of the carriers. Some expressed the
view that Mr.. McAdoo's retirement
would hasten the return of the roads
to private control, but such an eventu-
ality was construed both bullishly and
bearlshly. All were agreed that the
railroad outlook is now more uncertain
than ever and uncertainty is often the

Irony Seen in McAdoo's Action

In commenting on the withdrawal of
William Gibbs McAdoo, the man with
the nine big jobs from the Wilson
Cabinet, financial observers: perceived
vein of irony in the situation. Here
was the financial minister of the rich
est country in the world, who handled
larger loans and bigger expenditures
than were ever made before in all his
tory in SO short time, resignng his
important place in the Administration,
ostensibly because his Job did not
yield him enough to live on. With

money, money everywhere, and-yet-
not enough to live on.

Wheat.-The main point of interest
IN the wheat position is the question
or distribution. Supplies are large in
America and also in the Southern Hem
isphere, while the demand abroad is
urgent, and in consequence of the stu
alton the question of transportation is
the main factor. Wheat is being
worked steadily from the big lake ter
minals toward the East, where it will
be available for shipment during the
winter, while stocks at all the leading
markets are the largest ever recorded
in this country. At the present time
the export demand is principally fo-
flour, but the food administration is
ABOUT to make large purchases of -four
substitutes which were accumulated to
be used in connection with -four and
which are no longer required. These
Will be shipped to Europe and will help
to supply the needs of the famishing
people in some of the European coun-
tries. The Argentine and Australian
markets are also being drawn upon. and
the ending Of the war has very materi-
ally altered the transportation problem.
and a great deal Of foreign shipping
IS expected to go to the Southern
markets.
Corn.-The corn market was again
under selling pressure, and prices
cents. Longs sold heavily and the de-
mand was less active. The principal
bearlsh development in the situation
was a growing feeling of reluctance on
the part OF consumers about paying the
prevailing prices in the cash markets.
FARMERS were also rather more dis
posed to sell, and as the car situation
was more favorable the trade was in
cllned to anticipate a very material
enlargement of the movement next
week. 40
