American cities Company.

A complete reorganization of the
American Cities Company management
is contemplated. according 10 a report
received yesterday. The FIRST step in
the reorganization was said TO have
been taken on Tuesday at a meeting Of
stockholders when proxies were voted
repre senting more than two-thirds of the
stockholders Nineteen new directors
we're elected at the meeting, suppla nting
all former directors. and meeting has
been called for March IS. at which the
reorga nizatIon plans will be completed,
IL is said. The annual report which was
presented at Tue sday's meeting showed
that while the company's gross income
was greatly increased from that for 1877
heavy advances in costs Of fuel. labor
and supplies resulted in reporting def

In quarters close to the management
Of the Loose WileS Biscuit Company II
was intimated Yesterday that that com
pSA is planning psymerN. all diyi-
bends in arrears on its second preferred.
which II true would undoubtedly prove
decidedly beneficial to the second pre-
feIred and the common as far as mar
ket considerations would be concerned.
There are back on the second preferred
four years dividends, aggregating ~
per cent, or S56O,0O0. The provision for
the sinking fund for the retirement az
first preferred will be thie year double
what II has been. ms the company must
after February /. 1919, set aside for
that purpose sl5O,O00 yearly instead of
$4,000 as heretofore. The 1918 earn
ings are said TO be much better than
those OF previous years. and payment
of the back second preferred dividends
is declared by some to be certain.

The steel Meeting.

Many Wall Street operators were in
ciined yesterday TO mark time in view
of the meeting this afternoon In which
representatives of the biggest steel in
terests in the country will confer with
Government men with view OF working
out a plan for cooperation with the new
Industrial committee for the stabilization
of prices. To-day's meeting is consid-
cred in many quarters to be the most
important held in a long time and esti-
mates OF the probable attendance have
run from seventy-five to 1875. There has
been a decided curtailment of busine IS
booked ever since It became known that
a sterilization plan was in con;empla-
ton. Steel men are inclined TO feel that
whether or not they regard the plan
with favor il will be a big benefit 10 the
industry to have the question settled one
way or another.

board announced that these commodi-
ties could be exported freely TO the

der the special export license issued
February &c.
Officials of the Food Administration
had expected to reach an agreement be-
fore the first OF the month on the con-
tinuance of the minimum prices for
hogs. but after conferences with the
son II was announced that no decision
would be possible until the President
could consider the whole matter OF ex-
por. embargoes
Two statements were issued tonight
by the Food Administration. One dealt
entirely with the effect of the War
Trade Boards order. This statement
in part follows:
The practical effect of this action
of the War Trade Board Is to destroy
TIE ability of the United States Food
Administration to further stabilize
the price Of live hogs. 1t was tho
desire and has been the er deavor OF
the Food Administration to continue
this sterilization as heretofore and
until March 81. when the normal
marketing period of hogs narrowed in
the spring OF 1915 would have term-
mated.

WASHINGTON. March 5.--Removal Of
pork and pork products from the export
conservation list was announced to-
night by the War Trade Board. effective
tomorrow. At the same time the board
rescinded the regulations by which all
applications for licenses TO export these
commodities TO European destinations
we're required to bear a certificate from
the Food Administration showing that the
administration had approved the sale
price.
The Food Administration in an an
nouncement issued simultaneously said
this action would destroy its ability to
stabilize further the price of live hogs
and that It probably would result in the
price Of hogs and pork increasing be-
yond the stabilized prices which the ad-
ministration had desired TO continue to
March 81.
The War Trade Boards announce
ment also said that il had been advised
that the allied provisions export COM
mission had been dissolved and that pur-
chases of foodstuffs for shipment to
Great Britain, France and italy would
no longer be made by that commissions
This commission was organized early in
the war and all foodstuffs for the Allies
bought In America were purchased

have millions of acres Of lands, idle
lands, lands suitable for homestead
ing, acres that ought to be adding to
the worlds food supply and giving
homes to a race of independent Amer

The spirit Of the whole nation Is
backing the proposal of Secretary Of
the Interior Lane to open all the avail
able lands of the nation, the public
lands of the country to the soldier.
He has recalled to congress the great
part the mustered out soldiers of the
Civil War played in making the great

But to take this land, 100000
available acres Of it, and turn it over
to the soldiers will require a govern
mental appropriation. The money
will be needed to reclassify and open
to entry the lands that are lying idle
1t is the land of the government and
can be made over to the returning sol

will back up the proposal. What bet

placed to work for the future of the

1t is the solution of such problems
as this that causes the government to
need money and to set about raising
it through the Victory Liberty Loan
and War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
Every dollars woth of securities
bought will bring the day when before
