DEALINGS ARE MODERATE;
LARGELY PROFESSIONAL
Market Continues to Reflect the Re-
strictions From the Federal
Conservation Policy.

NEW YORK, January 26.-Trading
In stocks this week was mainly in
duenced by the many additional re-
strsstions resulting from the govern
ment's conservation policy.
Dealings were at all times moderate
and largely professional, as was evil
denced by the unusual prominence of
numerous specialties. including low
priced equipments and other Issues of
more obscure origin.
The latest speech of the German
chancellor furnished the basis of fur
ther conjecture respecting peace pros
poets. but foreign exchange rates from
this center were so little altered as to
convey no definite information of i'm
portant developments
Milder weather was decidedly help
full in bringing partial relief to freight
congestion, but the industrial situation
suffered further setback from short
age of fuel and labor.
The dividend policy of the more i'm
portant manufacturing companies is
likely to be shaped by the directors of
the United States Steel Corporation,
who meet next week to declare a dis
bursement on the common stock.
Call money was easier and in more
abundant supply than at any time since
the furry of last month, but time funds
are expected to remain scarce pending
announcement of the terms of the next

CONGESTION OF FREIGHT
CHARGED TO NEGLIGENCE

Gross negligence of railroads under
private management in giving proper
care to locomotives is principal cause
Of the present freight congestion, ac-
cording to report presented today to
Director General McAdoo by Interstate
Commerce Commissioner McChord.
After analyzing reports of inspectors
who have Investigated conditions at
the principal points of congestion in
the east for several weeks, Commits
sioner McChord announced that hun
dreds of locomotives which are sorely
needed in the present emergency are
idle in shops and roundhouses, frozen
through neglect. or lacking repairs
which might have been made if proper
forethought had been given by local
railway officials.
Naming specific yards and terminals
where scores of trains are stalled for
days awaiting motive power, Commits
sioner McChord showed that engines
lay in roundhouses without proper
doors to protect them against cold, and
that machinery was damaged by the
ice which incrusted it. For lack of re-
pairs, other locomotives were operated
with steam seeping from loose fittings
and power was reduced corresponding
ly
This condition was reported to be
due partly to the scarcity of machinists
and repairmen. who have been drawn
to other industries, but very largely to
negligence of local railway officials in
making preparations before winter ar
rived

CORN MARKET KEEPS HIGH;
OATS ALSO SHOW GAINS
Severe Winter Conditions Curb
Railroad Efforts to Transport
Shipments the Past Week.

CHICAGO, January 26.-Corn has
risen in value this week. forced up
ward largely by the fact that the crop
movement, although improved. did not
become as brisk as majority OF
traders had looked for. Compared with
a week ago. the market this morning
was r to u higher. Oats showed gains
of y to 21aa2ss. The result in pro-
visions varied from At decline to
rise of 81.
Despite evidence of material progress
in clearing up railroad congestion
hone of<Iiberal arrivals of corn gave
way to disappointment after Monday
and Tuesday Severe winter conditions
curbed the activities of the railroads,
fresh complaints of car scarcity DE-
great quantities Of soft corn appeared
likely not to reach terminals IN time 10 pe
saved Gradual tightening of the mar
ket led to an order for complete stop
page of trade in the January delivery,
and for settlements instead at the max
imum price limit. $1.28 bushel. Peace
talk counted only at intervals as
bearish factor.
Liberal sales to the seaboard, to-
gether with meagerness of supplies,
lifted oats above all previous high
price records this season.
Big supplies of hogs made provisions
average lower. Eastern shipping diff
culties operated also against any gen.
eral strengthening Of values.

GRAM AND PRoyIsIONs.

CHICAGO, January 26.-Unfavorab1e
weather for the crop movement put
the corn market today on the upgrade.
Receipts here were again disappoint-
ingly small, and there was no likeli-
hood of any immediate betterment in
the face Of a blizzard coming from the
west. Demand. however: was not of an
aggressive sort. Opening prices, which
ranged from the same as yesterday s
finish to " higher, with March 1.26A
and May LIB to 1.25A, were followed
by a moderate further advance.
OatsIjumped to new high price rec
ords for the season. The market was
almost bare of offerings. After OPEN
ing IL to Y higher, with May at 1914
to 7SH, prices continued to ascend.
Lack of selling pressure caused an
advance in provisions. Lower quota
tions on hogs were ignored.

Week end adjustment of corn trades
led subsequently to a slight reaction.

The fact that hog prices had reached
