FINANCIAL

New York, March 1.-THE stock market
today was governed by the same influ-
ences that have characterized the opera
lions of the past few weeks Professional
interests were in absolute control. but
| some divergence OF sentiment was reported
between local traders and the western
contingent
Reports credit the latter faction with
an extension of bullshness. while board
| room gossip ascribes much OF the recent
short selling and profit taking to group
of we'll known local operators.
Although trading fell slightly under the
recent daily average Of 100000 shares,
the scope Of the market was broadened
by the activity Of numerous secondary
specialties, particularly the fertilizer and
food divisions.
Shippings held their supremacy Of the
previous session at gains Of to I points,
secondary equipments ranking next at
similar advances, followed by sugars. cleo
trical issues. feathers and the usual un-
classified shares
Oils, Motors, industrial Alcohol, tobaccos
and several of the better known utilities
were hesitant or heavy and rails retained
their listless attitude. United States Steel
fell fraction under yesterdays minimum
and continued under pressure until the
final hour. when heavy buying effected q
sharp rally at net gain Of l &c.
Reactions OF to points from top
levels featured the later dealings. the set
back coinciding with an advance in call
money to per cent, due to withdrawal Of
bank loans, an irregular tone prevailing
at the close.
Trading in bonds was moderate and fea-
tureless, steadiness ruling in Liberty and
other domestic issues, foreigns yielding
slightly. Total sales, par value. aggre-

WISE n SIN
WILL VOTE ON
.YANk BONUS
BILL TUESDAY
Approximately 10000 Sol.
diers of Badger State
Would Share in Al
IoWance, if Voted.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 30.-What il
known as the soldiers bonus bill,
carrying an appropriation approx
mating ST., DOC, 900, will be voted upon
in Wisconsin at special election
on September 2.
The measure was passed at the
recent session of the legislature and
was amended so as to be effective,
or not, as the voters decide.
Affects 10000 Soldiers.
It is estimated that approximately
10000 soldiers of Wisconsin would
share in the bonus if voted. OF this
number $4,000 were members of the
Wisconsin National guard, 10000
were enlisted men in the United
States army, navy and marines, and
10000 were chosen for service under
the selective service law. The law
applies also to nurses, and it has
been estimated that this state sent
possibly 500 nurses into the service.
The bonus is $40 month for fed
eral service, and not less than $50 per
person. The highest amount that
any soldier would receive would
probably be $240. The Wisconsin
National guard was called to the
service late in June, 1917, and most
of these men had been mustered out
by July, 1919.
Two sources of taxation would be
used in raising the amount. On the
general property of the state the
tax shall not exceed 3 mills and
counties not desiring to raise this

BILLS OF SALE
FROM DEALERS
PROTECTS CARS
Vo|stead Prohibition, Bul
Says Rights Of Auto
Men Shall Be Re.
spected.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 30.-Auto-
mobile dealers will be saved hum
dreds of cars and thousands of
dollars as a result of amendment
to the Volstead prohibition bill
by the Senate Judiciary committee
at the request of the National Au-
tomobile Dealers association. The
associations representations that
conditional bills of sale and MOTT
cages held by the dealer on cars
should be respected to protect the
equity Of the dealer were adopted
by the committee and there is little
doubt but that this feature will
60 through the bill in its final
FORM.
The Volstead bill is the act to en-
force constitutional prohibition and
will be effective after Jan, 20, 1920.
In the first draft of the bills as
presented a car was subject to con-
fiscation for carrying liquor. No
mention was made Of the rights of
an innocent owner of the car. Un-
der the amendment obtained by
the National Automobile Dealers
association, if a car is seized the
dealer may appear as a c!aiment
and if he proves that the car was
wrongfully used without his knowl-
edge, he may have his rights in the
car protected. If the car is one
which is used without his consent
his rights are protected.
The amendments were obtained
as result of conferences between
Harry G. Mock, business manager
of the National Automobile Deal
er's association, C. A. Vane, St.
Louis attorney and Walter B. Guy,
Washington attorney for the assoc
citation. Guy appeared last Friday
and Saturday before the Senate
Judiciary committee and presented
the case of the dealers.
