McAD00 RAIL SUGGESTION
sTIRs MARKET DuLLNESS
Weeks Stock Changes Are Mostly
Irregular and Within very
Marrow Bounds.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE even
tenor of this weeks dull ana con-
.tracteG market for securities was
abruptly halted by Director General
McAdoo's suggestion that Congress
extend it's control of the railroads to
five wears and indications that war
cancellations might soon cause sharp
reductions in prices of important
commodities.
Formidable opposition to the Nc
Adoo plan soon developed In railroad
and banking circles and tho fact that
railroad shares of the better class
made only nominal losses offered nope
of early remedial action by Congress.
Changes in other branches OF the
stock list were mostly irregular ana
within narrow bounds until reports
became current of heavy offerings OF
copper metal by producers at prices
far below the rate fixed by federal
decree during the war.
Break In Metals.
Metals broke three to seven points
from the weeks top quotations, IN
dustrials and equipments reacted al
most to little extent, and oils. motors,
shippings and tobacco yielded va
riabiy. only on the decline did the
market show more than moderate ac-
tivity.
investment demand was again re-
strained by the small offerings OF
time funds and recurrent liquidation
in liberty bonds. the 351s duplicating
the low price of the year and second
tours yielding to a new minimum for
that period, while the fourth four and
a quarter established low record.
Weakest features of the bond di-
vision, however, we're the underlying
issues of various utilities. notably
local fractions. in which there were
losses of from to 8 per cent.

Spanish influenza is believed by Of
ficiais in the navy surgeon generals

ant Commander NJ. H. Rosenau.
