under the stimulate and temptation OF
exceptional circumstances. combinations
OF producers and combinations of traders
have been formed for the control of sup
plies and of prices which are clearly in
restraint of trade, and against these pros
ecutions will be promptly instituted and
actively pushed which will In all liken-
hood have a prompt corrective effect.
There is reason to believe that the prices
of leather. of coal of lumber and of tex
tiles have been materially affected by
forms of concert and cooperation among
the producers and marketers of these and
other universally necessary commodities
which IL will be possible TO redress. No
watChful OF energetic effort will be
spared to accomplish this necessary re-
suit. | trust that there will not be many
cases in which prosecution will be neces
sary. Public action will no doubt cause
many who have perhaps unwittingly
adopted illegal methods to abandon them
promptly and Of their own motion.
The department of commerce. the
depa rtment of agriculture, the depart
ment of labor and the federal trade
commission can do a great deal toward
supplying the public systematically
and at short intervals. with informa-
ton regarding the actual supply of
particular commodities that is in eN
istence and available with regard to
supplies which are in existence but not
with regard to the methods of price fix
ing which are being used by dealers in
certain foOdstuffs and other necessities.
Retailers in Part to Blame.
There can be little doubt that retail

! part-responsib for exOrbitant prices.

J full information to the prices at
which retailers buy and to the costs
| OF transportation they pay in order
! that IL may be known just what mar
| gin Of profit they are demanding. Opin-
| ion and concerted action on the part Of
purchasers can probably do the rest.
| Let me urge, in the first place. that
! the present foodstun control act should
| be extended both as to the period OF time
| during which II shall remain in operation
| and as to the commodities to which II
| shall apply.
| Its provision against boarding should be
made to apply not only to food but also
to feed stufrs. to fuel. TO clothing. and 10
many other commodities which arc in
disputably necessaries Of life. As II
stands now IL is limited In operation "a

STOCKS HIGHER
AT LABOR NEWS
Belief That U. S. Workers
Will Support Government
Steadies All Securities. I

New York. Feb. 1.-The financial
world was still under the influence
today of announcement that the gov
ernment intended to do a heavy eN-
port business in Bolshevists. The re-
suit was higher prices for stocks. The
unwarranted assumption that labor
would resist a readjustment TO normal
is disappearing and as II has been
the principal reason for the stagna-
ton in business, a speeding up is now
expected. AS stocks have been SELL
ing far below their intrinsic value. a
recovery of stock prices iS among the
normal expectations of the Immediate
future.
United States Steel was steady to-
day in the face of trade reports OF
price cutting that would be necessary.
Tobacco stocks were firm again. Hide
and Leather preferred established a
new high record for the movement
The oil stocks had another upiift, a,
did the tire stocks, particularly Kelly
Springfield. United Fruit advanced
sharply on announcement Of the d.
vidend increase of IL per cent. Stecl
Foundries and Car and Foundry were
strong. About the only weak depart
ment Of the market was in Liberty
bonds, which made a new low record.
being influenced by Secretary Glass
plans for the next issue.
Dividends Halted.
American Cans report was great
surprise and on its face makes divi-
dends impossible at this time. The
amount written of for depreciation
was liberal. as usual. Buying Of the
stock was good and n short interest
was compelled to cover.
The nervousness that exists in the
tobacco stock market was proved
again today when Reynolds B stock
had a 50 point advance to 400 while
snuff moved UP So points. The dea
that is said to be going in British
American kept that stock firm, hu
the real bullish factor behind thu
British American is the enormous
business the company Is doing in th'
Orient.
Mexican stocks were bought more
confidently because Of report tina
British capital was planning to g
into Mexico very extensively.
