FREIGHT RATE
RISE ON COAL
Is RAIL PLAN
Fuel and Road Administra-
tons Still at Odds
Over Prices.

The Railrsd Administration 10 pre-
pared 10 ask for a large coal freight
rate increase IL the Fuel AdministrH-
ton stands pat on its decree requiring
the railroads TO pay the governments
price for coal.
This is the position Of the carriers
as represented by John Skelton Will
Jams. Of the Railroad Administration,
il was learned yesterday.
The amount OF money involved ap-
proximAtes StO,OOO.OOo and in the long
run il represents another ultimate
burden on the sonsUmer unless the
White House iBteFvenes and brings
about an amicable agreement between
the two governmental agencies.
DR.. Garheld's position is that the
clerk and laboring man should not
be REQUIRED to pay a certain price for
his coal when the railroads are buy
ing what they need at a lower price.
The Fuel Administration's position In
the matter Is said to have the ap-
proval Of the War Industries Board.
A request for a higher coal freight
rate before the Interstate Commerce
Commission by the Railroad Admin
istration would receive much opposi-
ton, however. from the Fuel Admin
istrstion. DR.. Garfield. It is believed.
would feel that the Railroad Admin
istration was guilty Of rough
tactics" for a higher freight rate on
coal would simply mean that the
Fuel Administration would be COM
PEELED to increase its coal prices. II
il did not. hundreds of dealers unable
to meet the freight rates and make a
profit on their sale Of the product,
would be forced out OF business.
One apparent way out OF the dif-
ficulty. it is admitted. is for the rail-
roads 10 accede to DR.. Garfield's posi-
tion. and then apply for a horizontal
freight rate increase 20 make Up the
difference. A horizontal increase
would bring in the money in a modest
way whereas IL the demand were
centered solely on coal the reverse
would be the case.
Just a year ago the railroads OBJ
tanned a Is per cent per ton increase
on coal freight rates on Pennsylvauta
and West Virginia coal 10 the Gresf
Lakes and a to 10 per cent incres So
on tdie-water shipments The result
was the consumer last winter paid
more for his coal than ever before a.
though the price per ton was lower
at the pit mouth.

CHICAGO GRAIN.
b, Joseph z. PRITCHARp.

Chicago April IA week ago trading in
July corn on the Board Of Trade was inaugu-
rated. Since that time there has been l.
cent dip in this future, ind if c1ndltions sur
rounding the market go ANYTHING further
softening in values is among the prohahiiues
The priee Of corn has declined undsT L1ost
legitimate circumstances.
MAnt millions Of bushels Of the yellow cereal
are still in the hands OF the p-oduceTs. They
row have q chance to hedge their holdings and
they are putting it out for July delivery,
and when that month rolls around there
will be millions Of bushes Il this grain await
ing for the exporter or Eastern shipper TO take
in and pay for.
The declines IN potatoes and hay md some
other farm products acted as a besrish IN
fuenos on corn. They believe with potatoes
and hay on the toboSgsn. corn and oats are
likely to follow. if for no other reason than
a sympathetic one.
There were 900 bushels cash oats sold to-
day to the government for shipment abroad.
There were orders held here fOF q round lot
Of this grain but government agents refused
TO meet prices asked by the holders. 1t was
said late tOdEy. however. that there was more
business in oats than was generally known
by the trade. Prices were half to one srd
quarter lower Premiums in the sample

WAR news GIVES
WALL Street Chill
Early Morning Tremors, However,
Fade Before Closing.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York, April 17.-With about
the worst news of the drive made
public this morning the stock mar
ket wavered only about a point and
quickly recovered from even that
depression. United States Steel
was 1% points lower at the OPEN
ing quotation and recovered in the
afternoon. There were two distinct
rallies. After the first recovery
there were rumors of more bad
news to. come but it did not ma
teriaIize and on the contrary re-
ports We're current late in the day
of a counter attack by the British.
Under the influence of this report
the market closed strong.
Bankers believe the German
drive has proved a failure and are
acting accordingly in the market
The situation is just the reverse of
what II was the year before the
war began. Then great blocks of
prices below what everybody be-
err would the liquidation be checked
than it would break out again.
Later this liquidation was all trac-
eu TO GtTIHdny. EdIlS ana LOnQOn
began selling only a few days be-
fore the actual declaration of war.
Somebody of Importance knew all
the time what was going to hap
pen.
International Paper and American
Writing Paper preferred were the
star performers today, the former
advancing 5h points and the lat
ter Az. Advance of the latter has
been expected because the annual
report is soon to make its appear
ance.
Allis-Chalmers was another issue
to give a good account of itself.
American Can was also absorbed
apparently by a pool.
Cotton has apparently been over
sold. as the May option today ad-
vanced 1923 and the October 1.12. At
the higher figures the options show
ed gains today of 2O4 and $50 points

COTTON MARKETS.

New YOrk. April ia less fArorAbls re
port than had been expected by the Federal
Weather Bureau, which was the news factor
Of the day. and the circulation Of q number
Of bullish sdvices on the SPOT article from
the South promoted an active buying move
prices up sharply.
EXPECTATIONS that a big decline at Liverpool
would be followed b. another bad break in the
local market, were not realized On the COT
tary, with the exception Of May, which opened
Is points lower, the rest Of the list was very
firm and to 2 points net higher.
The initial advance met q good deal Of selling.
Liverpool had been q moderate buyer at the
start, but turned seller later. while there was
renewal d local pressure and LIQUIDATION
which caused q break of some Is to S points
from the early high prices. Covering became
more active on this setback. however. and the
market showed increasing strength and activity
after the publication Of the weekly report Of
the weather bureau.
Prices advanced rapidly In consequence, with
July selling up from $50 to 9.o5 carly in the
second hour OF about 81 points net higher and
II points above the low Level Of the morning
Later the market eased under realizing and
continued Southern selling, particularly Of Octo-
her, which sold of from 3.o4 to G.7o during
the early afternoon.
Demand increased in volume late In the aft
erDcon and prices moved steadily higher. Sell.
ers for q reaction covered their cotton and
spot firms bought actively for mill account
Further unfavorable crop reports and strong
spot market advices helped to close the market
well up 10 the highest Of the day, and at a
net advance Of 7iaG points
The receipts at the ports were to-day 8, ~
bales against 9.4so bales a week ago and 9,IlI
tales year ago.
mers were no exports for the day. For the
season to date the cearances amount to 3,0ee. .l67
bales. compared with 45l5.7s3 bales in the CIR.
responding period last season.
Spot at New Orleans was nominal and un
changed at 8 cents; the sales were SO bales
Spot here steady at an advance Of l0O
points at 3l.50; there were no sales.
Receipts at some Of the leading ports were
