Railroad administration
Expected to Ash Cut
on Rails y'o-dny

Reports were current in the steel
trade yesterday that the representa-
tlves Of the railroad administration
when they meet at the Plaza Hotel
to-day With the general committee of
the American Iron and Steel Institute
will ask Tor concession Of the steel
price controversy. On the general ques-
ton OF prices leading manufacturers
have let it be known that they are n
unit in opposing recessions below the
levels agreed upon with the Industrial
Board.
The steel trade, according to "Thc
Iron Age" is taking only mild in
tcreet in to-day's conference, but adds
that "if this weeks meeting cun only
bring the cutting of the knot and leave
the industry free from deadly govern
ment paltering there are signs that
betterment will be seen. Whatever its
results in the way or railroad buying
the interview is not expected to infu-
ence greatly, il at all, the general price
level.
"As if to emphasize the blight which
governmental intervention has brought
over the market the railroad admins
tration admits that its recent inquiry
for spikes was merely feelcr, and
repeats it's advertisement for 6N00 tons
Of plates for railroad barges."
"The Iron Trade Review" states it to
be the wish of the steel trade that an
open market may be recognized in
name, az well as in fact"
The Navy Department, according to
",Thc Iron Age" has placed with the
Carnegie Steel Company orders for
$500 tons Of special protective deck
plates. About 10000 tons OF carbon
steel plates, ON which bids were taken
at the same time, are being held up
as arc also 5000 tons Of plates, shapes
and bars, bids for which closed April

Jobbers Buying Underwear

Buying of mems underwear for next
winter by jobbers has improved after
prolonged dullness. This demand is
making its appearance four to six
months later than in normal seasons
The manufacturers of kpit underwear
generally book enough orders by De-
cember Of each year to insure active
mill operations on goods required for
the fall and winter periods of the en-
suing year. The mills are now working
close to full time, after having operated
in a limited way from January to the
middle of April.

ed yesterday morning at the small de-
mand for bills, notwithstanding rul-
ing rate of 4 per cent for call money.
One dealer was "dumfounded" by the
small demand. The explanation offered
was that the banks did not expect the
low rate for call money to last. The
rate was due in great part, they said,
to deposits placed at this centre by
out-of- town banks, and such deposits
might be withdrawn at any time This
explanation was partly borne out by
the sudden jump Of call money to 6 per
cent at the close.
New bills make their appearance
slowly. Some dealers are not disposed
to complain of this, and say they would
be satisfied if they could buy all they
can sell. Portfolios seem not to have
increased or diminished appreciably
lately.
Fifteen to sixty day prime trade ac-
ceptances were quoted at and 5A per
cent; sixty to ninety days, and 5h
per cent; indorsed trade acceptances,

Fur Men Preparing Case
Fov Reneal of Fur T.

AS soon as possible after Congress
convenes in extra session this month
a strong attempt will be made to bring
about the repeal of the 10 per cent tax
on manufactured furs.
Edward Fillmore. counsel to the
newly organized National Committee
of the Fur Industry, who has just re-
turned to New York from st. LOUIS
and other fur centres, said yesterday:
Il found the fur men of the country
up in arms over the tax, and they are
ready to make the greatest fight 90
their lives to have this discrimination
and unjust tax removed. We are pre-
pairing vigorous campaign and will
be ready to present our case to Con-
gress as soon as the opportunity
offers"

Business Monev

The commercial paper market is be-
coming easier. Brokers quote the
present rate at 5@51a per cent. Most
paper is going at 514 but choice names
q short maturity 60 at 5 per cent
There is paper at all three rates, but
while notes are quoted at 5A as per
cent in some quarters, with the ad-
mission that some paper is going at 5,
others quote the market rate at 50l5A
and admit that some paper "other
names," is going at V. The larger
market is out of town, though there is
fair New York buying. The supply of
paper continues small.
While some brokers assert that the
commercial paper market is now on, or
soon about to be on, a per cent basis,
1t is wide belief that such a rate will
represent rock bottom for the next six
or eight months. That is because gov
eminent buying will continue, and a
rate of Az for government borrowing
will establish that as Minimum

BOARD STARTS Fight ON
FEDERAL RAILROAD RATES
Public Service Commission Files Suit
to Enjoin Alleged Illegal In
creases Inside State.

On behalf of the state public serv-
ice commission, Attorney General w.
" Tanner Saturday filed suit in the
local superior court to enjoin alleged
illegal increases by federal order in
freight rates on traffic originating
and terminatjpg wholly within this
state. The petition will be argued
March 81.
This action is founded on increases
of switching rates in Seattle and Ia
coma yards, the first OF which we're
imposed without reference to the
state commission and the second as
the commission was notified Satur-
day, will be enforced in disregard of
suspension order recently issued by
the commission.
Saturdays action is the opening en-
gagement in a program Of general
resistance by state commissions to
what they regard as further encroach-
ments on their legal jurisdiction over
state railroad rate regulation. This
campaign was amplified and console
dated Monday at Portland. where the
Washington commission conferred
with the Oregon commission on tri-
state combination against federal rail-
road orders, which the commissioners
regard as arbitrary and unauthoi lied
under either federal or state legisla-
ton,
