costs of production, and faced by the
need to prepare for carrying on after
the war, was often quite incapable of
working profitably on the basis of the
then maximum prices. Supplies were
not sufficient for the population, and
the low prices did not even secure that
they were all brought to market
The n-expert bodiessf whose duty it
was to secure that all stocks were de-
nvered, were incapable of doing so.
They often irritated and estranged the
country people. The individual did not
even receive his official ration, which
of itself was fixed too low to MAINTAIN
his full strength. AS a result, both
town and country set about to help
themselves Illicit trading and hoard
ing increased, and there was soon no
sure ground to be seen in the problem.

ARMY FOOD CUT TO AID PEOPLE


In Berlin people seemed at times to
have the idea that the army and the
people were two different bodies, with
different stomachs. This view was
sorry demonstration how little the war
was understood at home. Very reiuc-
family the supreme army command had
often to reduce temporarily the rations
of meat, bread, potatoes and fats, and
also of oats and hay. This WINS done
to support the people at home, and keep
them fit for the war. The war food Of
flee, however, thoroughly understood
the army's needs. and especially the
| fact that the men in the front line were
deserving of the greatest consideration
| The men often did not have enough,
even when they received the full al
lotted ration. The food was, besides
too monotonous. I heard many COM
plants from the commandment on
this point, but could not remedy any
matters in detail. At home the troops

FINANCE AND MARKETS
rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Trading in stocks was governor almost entirely by the cratic changes in the money market. Call loans opened at per cent, just half of yesterdays maxi mum, but rose steadily to 16 per cent in the last 15 minutes, dropping to per cent, the days lowest rate, at the close.
 Speculative issues were again taken in. hand by bull pools in the early and intermediate periods, trading reflect ing greater confidence and breadth.
 General Motors eclipsed all other issues, making an extreme advance of 30 points to a new high of 390, react ing to 371, but rallying in the final dealings with net gain of 24 points.
 Affiliated shares, such as Chandler, StutZ, Studebaker, White, Pierce Ar row, United States Rubber and Good rich, were three to seven points higher at these maximums, but some of these gains were largely or entirely can celled when the market reacted. Republic iron shared the day honors with General Motors, rising 12H points to the new maximum of 121k, but forfeiting 37s points under pressure. Related equipments and steels were two to six points up at their best, but eased with oils and food shares towards the end. United States Steel rose 1 F points, but closed at a gain of a small fraction. Sales, 1,550,000 shares.
 Liberty 91a's were strong but others of that division eased with the general | list Including foreign issues.
 Total sales, par value, $14, ATS, 900 Old United States bonds unchanged or call.
