2-GUARD u TRAIN
TRIED IN BROOKLYN
Old Wooden Cars Rebuilt With
Three Doors to a Side and
Safety Devices.

In the hope OF Increasing safety and
economy of operation and speed in load
Ing and discharging passengers at sta
tion stops the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company yesterday placed in service
experimentally on its elevated lines n
six car train equipped with three slid
ing doors on each side. with multiple
unit control and the other safety devices
now used on the latest types OF subway
cars.
The test train. under observation OF
inspectors from the Transit Commits
sion, was operated over the Broadway
line from tho Chambers street terminal,
Manhattan, to Rockaway Park. Brook

Six of the wooden cars of the con-
ventional type now run on tho az" lines
had been rebuilt. All tho old swinging
gates on their platforms had been re-
moved and tho vestibuo platforms had
been inclosed. In place of tho gates
had been Installed sliding doors at the
ends and in the middle of the cars.
The doors were operated by electrical
and air controlled equipment. In three
car unit all the doors are under The
control OF one trainman. who manipu-
lates tho controls from keyboard cen
trally placed.
In tho six car train, therefre, only
two trainmen IN addition TO the motor
man were required. The system IL that
known as the multiple unit control a
power control safety device automati-
cally cuts off the motorman's power so
long as one OF the sliding doors re-
mains unclosed. The trainmen operate
the doors from slightly raised platforms
between the cars From that vantage
point they command an unobstructeo
view of tho station platforms whenever
train stops

COTTON PRICES ARE

Pressure Increases on Report
of Shutdown of Mills in
New England.

The cotton market was under pressure
yesterday and fell 20 to AZ points. the

weakness under belated liquidation.
More than fifty delivery notices were
circulated, January going off the board
at midday at ITO cents a pound. The

Throughout tho session there was

bales monthly by that timo would have

WHEAT SAGS WHEN
EXPORT TRADE ENDS
Early Rise Results From Talk
o. European Scarcity-Corn

t
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Wheat averaged
little lower to-day, owing chiefly to a
decline at Liverpool and to absence of
export business. The close was unset
tied at Is cent net decline TO Il cent
advance, with May sl.15 to s1.15b and
July S1.O2. Corn lost shade to Il

finished from unchanged figures to 80
cents lower.
Moderate upturns In wheat character
ized the early trading, due mostly TO an
opinion from British authority that
pointed to prospective scarcity OF sup
plies for importing countries But the
LIVERPOOL market closed lower. and eN-
port business in wheat from the United
states seemed TO be at a standstln.
Besides, domesticc milling demand was

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.--The United

In the world market for grain in the
coming year, according to survey OF
the foreign trade In agricultural prod
ucts issued tonight by the Commerce
Department
For several years, the department ex-
planned, Europe has been piling UP an
enormous adverse trade balance, so that
in 1922 two factors will affect the
American market for agricultural prod
ucts. One will be the ability OF Europe
TO buy under her present limited export
trade, and the other the competition
which this country may feel from other
countries with q surplus of these prod
ucts.
The gradual lowering Of prices
throughout the world for the important
food products In the last year, the de-
partrnent continued, has caused general
agricultural distress In virtually all OF
the surplus producing countries. such as
those In South America and Australia,
Canada and the United States.
