STOCK MARKET

New York. March 16.-Opening.-
Except for Canadian Pacific, which
again weakened, stocks as a whole
were perceptibly strengthened at the
opening of today's trading by the Is
per cent. rate increase granted to
eastern roads. Coalers were most ac-
tive, especially for several Erie is
sues, Reading and Chesapeake & Ohio.
Baldwin Locomotive, Bethlehem Steel
and several active specialties also
registered material gains but standard
industrials showed irregularity. Lib
erty bonds were steady.

Close.-The intermittent strength of
the market was chiefly due to the IA

RATE INCREASE
OF IS Per Cent.

Washington, March ia general
increase of about Is per cent. in COM
modify rates was granted yesterday by
the interstate commerce commission
to railroads east of the Mississippi
and north Of the Ohio and Potomac
river, supplementing a similar in
crease allowed last June in class
rates.
The order applies only to articles
shipped in large quantities, such as
coal, brick, grain, foodstuffs, oil
stone, cement, lumber and other
staple products shipped under the
COMMODITY classification. The new
rates will go into effect as soon as
railroads file new tariffs, probably
within a few weeks.
The action will add about $5S, 000,-
| 900 to the revenue of the eastern
roads, although it will not actually
increase their earnings, since the
sum will revert to the government
under the system of common opera
ton, and railroads will be paid on
the basis of fixed compensation out
| lined in the railroad bill, just pass
ed by Congress. Since the railroads
| applied for the increase more than
six months ago, before government
operation was orderd. and was de-
cided by the commission in the ardi"
nary course of its business, the rail-
road administration is not directly
responsible for the resulting higher
rates.
The increase does not affect terri
tory west of the Mississippi, nor
southern territory, except for ship
ments originating in the East or de-
signed to that district.
In general today's order of the COM
mission allows increase averaging Is
per cent. in rates not raised by the
commissions decision last June 27 in
/ the Is per cent. case, which has been
/ pending for many months. The order
then was estimated to increase the
roads freight revenues a little more
| than err cent, and railroad men last
night figured that the latest increases
would give Eastern roads between Z
| and 10 per cent. more.

Reports From Germany
Shows That Danger to
Divers has Increased

London, Jan. 15.-German news
papers in referring to the Anglo
American measures against subma-
rines, indicate that the employment
of the depth charge has been greatly
increased and perfected since Amer
lean destroyers arrived in European
waters. In the old days the destroy
err was content to drop two or three
depth charges in the vicinity where
the submarine was last seen, but now,
according to the German accounts,
it is not unusual to find the destroy
ers persisting in the dropping of
depth bombs until as many as forty
have been exploded, covering large
area where the submarine is likely
to be hiding.
The Germans admit this is very
unpleasant for the operators of the
U-boats Thus the Norddeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung contains the fol
lowing account of the experiences of
a U-boat man in the water patrolled
by the American destroyers:

ed before the fire Wednesday, his
head striking a churn Of milk, sever

blood.
Mr.. Lakewood suffered stroke
of paralysis some weeks ago. He
was just getting able tn sit up, and
was before the fire in his chair
Wednesday, when he either became
dizzy or tainted, falling headfore-
most from his chair. His head struck
the churn, which was broken. A
sharp corner of the broken part sew
cred the large artery behind the ear,
the wound bleeding prOfusely. Hen
ry billiard was called in and stood
by the man holding the artery for an
hour and half, until DR.. Sebastian
could reach him. The roads were
bad and travel was slow, of course,
and Mr.. Lakewood came very near
bleeding to death. In fact, his con-
dition is considered critical, from
the loss of blood.

The roof at Exell's large tobacco
barn, in east Dresden, caved in ear
ly Monday morning under the load
of snow, sleet and ice, all of which
had become water logged from an

The roof gave way in the east or
old portion of the prizing house,
and the damage is heavy, but we are
not appraised as to the amount.
The barn contained number of
hogsheads of tobacco, which, doubt
less, is also damaged. Mr.. Ezell
was away from town when the roof
went in. 1t will be remembered
Mr.. Ezell suffered considerable loss
in last springs storm, a portion of
his barn being blown in.
