VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

At a recent meeting of the River
side Woman 8 Club resolution was
passed expressing full confidence in
the ability, integrity and fairness of
Mrs. Katherine Phillips Edison of the
state industrial commission " and depre-
eating criticism Of her action in favor
ing reduction of the minimum wage
for women workers from SIG to $15
per week.
The resolutions further state, eve
recognize that>Mrs. Edison in her of
ficial position has stood for the pro-
lection of women workers of the state
for the maintainence of just living ,
wage for them. And we believe that
the proposed change has been fully
justified by changed economic condi-
tions, otherwise it would not have
been accepted by Mrs. Edson.'
The Riverside club urges that all
women Of the state stand by Mrs. Ed
son as champion of their interests in
stead of weakening her position on the
Welfare Commission by captious criti-
cisn. 4e.t
Mrs. Henry De Nyse, president Of the
club, adds q personal note to the reso-
lutions, saying: HI have known Mrs.
Edison intimately for 10 years, and it
my firm belief that she would err on
the side Of the worker rather than the
employer, and that if she favors this
81 per week reduction it is because she
has q knowledge that it means q
greater concession in some other way

Lady Astor, who was born in the
United States, is welcoming her home
in hearty manner, and giving her a
good hearing. Lady Astor, the first
woman to be elected to the British
Parliament, says that her political life
has made her more domestic and that
if American women would have finer
civilization they must not only inter
est themselves in voting for what is
right and sound, but must first give
their children a proper conception of
religion and understanding of God.
The distinguished lady also suggests

with the weakness in motor shares

PRICES ADVANCE

Chicago, March 6.-An unexpect-

arrived at the local yards today,

big drop in values. After a fairly
good market for cattle last week,

were estimated at $4,000 cattle, Co.,

HEAVY TRADING
ON BOTH SIDES
OF WHEAT MART

Chicago. March e-wheat was
extremely nervous today There
was heavy trading on both sides OF
the market and prices had quick
dips and bulges. The buying was
partly by exports, but much Of It
was by some of the big local longs.
The decrease of 1,223. 900 bushels
in the domestic and 2,211,000 bush
els in the bonded visible supply
caused some buying. and after mid
day a rally to the highest prices or
the day was noted on buying by
eastern houses. Liverpool closed l
pence to IA pence lower, due to
the big worlds shipments and an
increase of nearly 100000 bush
els in supplies on ocean passage
Ruenos Aires was of 1zc at the
opening. Seaboard reported some
export business worked on the
break. Foreigners apparently are
bullish. London cables said that
Australian surplus remaining is es-
timated at 29,600,000 bushels
France is expected to need 10000
600 to 10000 900 bushels of wheat
because of the poor crop outlook
Red wheat discounts were about
1c narrower.
Corn was firm. A break was
noted after the opening but support
was excellent and prices climbed
upward. The increase of 3,S95,00O
bushels in the visible supply was
ignored. Cash corn discounts were
wider. A good eastern demand was
noted for cash corn but exporters
withdrew on the advance.
Oats were extremely nervous and
prices followed the trend of other
grains. There was good commits
sion house buying and much short
covering on the break. Visible sup
ply decreased 1871 900 bushels.
Cash oats discounts were wider.
Provisions were lower on selling

New York. March s. - The dry
goods market had a slightly easier
trend today. The early week vol
ume of trading was not large. Mar
row print cloths were in better de-
mand than most of the other con-
structions and some buying for for
eign accounts was in evidence in
these goods and in sheetings. The
wider print cloths were dull but
mills were obviously unwilling to
accept orders in any great volume
at figures much below those cur
rent for the last week. Some bust
ness was recorded in sateens and
twills
Raw silks were fairly steady here
in reflection of news received from
primary centers but the volume of
trading continues small with man
ufacturers extremely unwilling to
make purchases for future needs
until they are assured the bottom
has been reached. The quickening
of the Easter demand has improved
the market for finished silk goods.

New York, March 6.-The bond
market developed no outstanding
feature until after the favorable an
nouncement by the supreme court
in the Consolidated Gas case today.
Throughout the session Liberty
bonds were very little changed from
last weeks closing prices, irregu-
larity appeared in the railway Sec
ton and foreign government loans
were moderately active and fairly
firm. Following the gas decision,
however, the per cent bonds, to-
gether with Consolidated Gas stock,
made a sudden squirt and establish
ed a new high price nearly two
points above their closing price OF
Saturday. Other public utility bonds
were stipulated and buying OF
American Telephone and Telegraph,
Detroit Edison, New York Tele-
phone and Chicago Railway bonds
carried these issues up fraction OF
a point to a point.
Foreign government loans con-
tinued prominent in the dealings.

ceeding week, while Mexican loans,

REACTION FROM
ENTHUSIASM IN
FINANCE DEALS
BY STEWART p. WEST.

The markets again moved pretty
mich in unison today. For the
FIRST half of the day they went very
generally downward. In the after
1oon they all recovered the early
decline in the financial and COM
modify markets
The one important contribution to
the news of the day was the long
awaited supreme court decision in
the Consolidated Gas case. This
upheld the judgment of the lower
court in declaring confiscatory the
80 cent rate originally fixed by the
New York state law. This decision.
all the more impressive because en-
dorsed by the entire bench, is very
favorable naturally for the Con-
solidated Gas company and the 9TH
or New York concerns who have
beer so long holding III their treas
uries. marked as conditional fund,
the difference between the 80-cent
rate and the $1.25 per thousand cub
ic feet which they were allowed to
charge tentatively. But it is or
vastly more significance as illus
trating the temper of the highest
court of the land toward the ques-
tion of corporations being allowed
to earn a reasonable return on their
property.
The uprush of the gas stocks fol-
lowing the news from Washington
had some influence upon the gen.
eral movement. Previous to last
Saturday stocks had been going up
irregularly, but never continuously
for more than a fortnight. A reac-
ton was due, and it set in at last
weeks close and kept on during
the early part Of the session today.
Outside of technical conditions,
however, the decline had little
meaning 1t did not go far enough
to suggest any change in sentiment
over the business outlook, although
it did undoubtedly reflect the judg-
ment that the speculative move
ment in all the market was going
along last week, striking too rapid
pace in view of the uncertainties
still attaching to the outside situa-
ton. In the wheat market, where
the May option was off nearly 1C
cents a bushel from it's high, il
was partly a technical reaction and
partly a real reversion of opinion
regarding the winter wheat crop
