VILLAGES Liberated.

Villages Liberated.
The formidable salient driven into
the Bulgarian lines Is being extended
rapidly as the terrain becomes more
favorable. Additional villages have
been liberated. A large number of
prisoners has been added to the 5000
already reported.
Apparently the Bulgarian resistance
Is not very great and there is no in
dication of where the enemy intends
to make a stand. The Serbs are ap-
preaching the Vardar river and the
main railway south from Uskub.
Should they succeed in reaching the
railroad the position of the Bulgarians
to the south around Lake Doiran
would be precarious. The British and
Greeks continue their pressure around
the lake and the enemy there must de-
pend entirely on the Uskub railway
for supplies and reinforcements. Sue
cessful continuation Of the allied
stroke is fraught with great possibili-
ties.
Ir France the British and French
continue with success their operations
looking toward the encircling Of St.
Quentin and the breaking Of the Hin
denburg line between st. Quentin and
Cambria.
Near Scheldt Caal.
On a front of three miles the British
today are smashing into the German
main defense west Of lie Catelet. with
the object of getting east Of the Sec
tion of the Scheldt canal between St.
Quentin and Cambria. The canal is
less than two miles from the British
line east Of Epehy. Near Bellenglise,
Field Marshal Haigs men also are
working toward the canal, which prob
ably forms an important part Of the
Hindenburg defenses in this region
Around Gauchy wood, north OF Ephey
the British have repulsed German at
tacks.
South of St. Quentin the French
have followed up the capture Of Es-
signy-le- Grand by forcing the Germans
to give up Benay to the southeast and
by making progress to the north of the
village. The terrain here Is difficult
but the French advance has been
steady throughout the week.

Americans now are ten miles from
Metz and an equal distance from Cou-

severe casualties.

Truck Saves Unloading

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 To the long list of uses for the efti- cient little self-propelled electric truck is added that of general hauler around factories.
 By the simple addition of a dumping body. the truck is now able to move eeVrything from bricks to the actual factory products with great facility. Tn the small space under the truck body it carries an electric motor and power Flant of storage batteries.
 A load, weighing as much as a ton ana half, can be placed in this little body The truckman then leaps upon the front of the truck. throws in the switch and turns the starting leevr. This starts the truck. and the cargo is sped on its way at the rate of seven miles an hour When the destinaton ia reached, the car is stopped and by means Of q tripping lever the body is released and dumped at the proper side The body is then brought back by means of roller bearings
 When flat or large loads are to he carried, the body can be removed and the ordinary platform can be substituted TOT It, The truck can further be utilized as tractor In this capacity if wjlI very easily haul any load up to nine or 10.oo0 pounds.

COTTON

New Orleans, January 20.-Net results of last weeks trading in cotton were loss of 20 to 3S points. Wide declines followed the announcement of the gov ernment's fuel regulations, but short covering caused stiff recovery on the closing session. This covering move ment was stimulated, Co a considerable extent by the double holidays, caused by the observance of tne fuel holiday tomorrow.
 In the opening sessions of the week prices were higher on the strength of the spot situation, the active months trad ing about quarter of a cent over the previous weeks close. The edge ap- peared to have been taken off the spot demand by the middle of the week and a tendency to sag, resu-ted. Selling was encouraged by the falling off in con- sumption among American mills report ed by the census bureau in it's report for the month of December The fuel regulations. entailing holidays, which seems to mean a drastic curtailment of consumption, caught the market in a rather bearish mood, and prices fell to level 114 to Al points under tho close of last week.
 This week the trade will probably view the fuel holidays in q less unfavorable light, owing to the fact that more cot ton mills are running than was at first supposed would be possible. Advices re- ceived here at the end or last week in dicated that mills engageG on govern ment contracts and on cloths necessary in the packing of food, as well as mills operated by hydro-electric power. were running as usual, and this was taken to mean that the curtaiiment of consump- ton would fall far short Of first esti- mates
 Should it be shown that the govern ment regulations are having the effect of reducing freight congestion, the re- action on cotton would be in favor of higher values. Signs of broadening out In the spot demand to include the lower grades were apparently toward the end of last week, and any further evidence along this line this coming week wonld encourage buying. At the same time it is likely to be more or two-sided mar ket than it has been owing to unset- tied industrial conditions prevailing gen orally.

Market ReUieW
Wall Street Looks Gradual Contraction Financial trial Commercial Activities-Fuel Order Had Little Effect on Market-Cotton Prices Drop, But Higher Levels Expected-CurtaIment in
 Iron and Steel Production
STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, January 20.-Wall street re- gards as more or less inevitable a grad ual contraction of financial, industrial and commercial activities. extending into the spring of the year, in conse- quence of the governments conservation decree
 The belief prevails, however. that in- vestment securities are not likely to ssif- fer serious disturbance of quoted val ues The comparative scarcity of offer ings which followed the abrupt news from Washington is accepted as an indi- cation of the markets liquidated conti- ton.
 Peace possibilities were actively can vassed early in the week, but received a check later.
 Private financial projects are likely to be indefinitely deferred because ot Washington's latest edict Some of the railroads seem to be emerging from their more adverse conditions of last year, although gross earnings continue to be largely absorbed by greater operating costs.
 Tt was thought that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad directors. declaring the regular dividend on the common stock, might serve as a guide for other roads similarly situated. put advices from Washington plainly discouraged such a general policy,
 The world war precludes fair com parison of present monetary conditions with those of corresponding periods of recent years, but the trend obviously is towards higher rates TOT all forms of accommodations.

IRON AND STEEL

New York, January 20.-curtailment of steel production within the last few days has been more pronounced, re- ports from producing sections east and west indicating q reduced out turn of from 70 to 60 per cent, the immediate cause is the shortage of fuel Govern ment requirements have been increas- ing to further exclusion of private de- mands.
 Fuel Administrator GarfieId's closing order has been promptly obeyed. The United States Steel corporation has promised that all plates and other steel material needed for ship building during the wear will be forthcoming. The cal! for ship plates has been heavy, and the capacity of the rolling milling limited.
 The closing of many plants during .he week has caused a material decline in the production of steel plate Conges- tion of warehouses, yards and terminals IS held responsible for the closing.
 Plg iron cannot be had except on cur rent contracts, which are from four to SIX weeks behind. Furnaces are sold up to capacity until next July. Scarcity of coke is steadily reducing output.
 Private demand for copper has been light
 Production of lead kas raIlen off. The demand in the local market has been be- low normal owing to lack of transporta- ton facilities.
 The market is bare of spot tin with no chance to replenish except through Sin gapore or Hong Kong.
