SPECIAL STOCKS
GOVERN TRADING
Reduction of $36,000,0 ,00C
Federal Currency Cause
Of Selling.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York, Jan. 6-Except for a few
specialties and stocks unusually strong
in earnings, the market was heavy
today in Wall street. Trading was
light. The tobaccos, alcohol issues,
sugars and special manufacturing
stocks responded easily to investment
buying.
Some selling was caused by the re-
duction in outstanding Federal re-
serve currency of about $50 5000 for
the week. This reduction marks the
first considerable step toward an elm
ination OF imitation. 1t proves the
flexible character of the national cur
rency. and Is an additional guaranty
of financial safety. There are hign
banking authorities firmly of the be-
lief that not enough currency was Is
sued and that instead of being in
creased there should be a further in
crease to encourage business every
where.
Limiting Loans Poor Economics.
Action OF the money committee in
limiting loans in the stock market he's
been one of the greatest influences In
limiting the issuing of Federal reserve
currency. That was one of the OBJ
a bad object.
Considerable buying of American
Can resulted from publication of an
analysis of the company's earnings.
The showing of ability to pay divi-
dends was so strong that traders are
confident something will be done by
the directors in the near future. There
il absolutely no official warrant for
any statement regarding dividend
prospects, but it is becoming evident
that the stock has been accumulated d
by banking houses that usually act for
the directors of the company.

OF PRICE LISTS
Food Administrator Wilson
Declares Excessive Charges
Will Be Punished.

Fourteen. meat dealers of the o
Street Market were summoned to the
local Food Administration headquar-
ters yesterday afternoon and intro
duced to the administration's meat in
g ectors.
Clarence II. Wilson. city food ad-
ministrator, explained to the meat
men that the inspectors had com

the warTncst of welcomes upon their
visits to the meat stands at the o
Street Market and that in several in
stances they had been refused permis-
sion TO inspect the company's price in
voices.
inspectors introduced.
Mr.. Wilson read the food regulation
section providing for the punishment
Ly either one years impr.*ou-'cnt or
a 1900 fine for persons interfering
with agents OF the administration. and
intimated that doubtless their failure
to receive cordially the aforesaid
agents had been due 10 the fact that
they had never had the pleasure OF
meeting them formally. The different
meat inspectors were then brought in
and introduced to the dealers.
According to the food regulations Of
the District. meat dealers are required
to keep, on a blackboard a price list
on different cuts OF meat, and to sub
NIT TO the inspectors OF the Food Ad-
Ininistration their invoices showing
, that they had not been profiteering. II
was due 10 the failure Of the dealers
to cooperate with the administration
that yesterdays get-together party
was held.
/ Ten grocers from various sections
/ of the city also appeared before the

noon TO explain their failure to OBJ
serve the fair price list. Mr.. Wilson
