PLAN EUROPEAN TRIPS
Many San Antonians Applying for
Passports.

An exodus of many San Antonio
citizens TO Europe next summer Is
predicted by the employees of the
United States district clerks office in
the federal building, who report that
there are an increasing number of
applications for passports made at the
CLERKS office. Since the passports are
issued only from the department OF
State at Washington, no records are
kept here. Since the beginning of the
year, it is estimated, between 10 and
II applicatNns have been made, and
there have been calls for five or SlS-
application blanks. ".U
Applications for passports are made
ut the district clerks office. These APP
plications are forwarded to Washing.
ton. from where the passports, It
granted. are mailed directly to the
applicants. Many making applications
for passports, now. are preparing for
their European trips next summer
From now until next June. it is pre-
dicted. there will be large number
of applications.
To meet requirements. there must
be evidence of citizenship. it was ex-
planned. In addition to evidence of
American citizenship. the applicant
must furnish two photographs of him
self and have an identifying witness.

CURB is IRREGULAR

New York, March S.-Despite the
fact that copper shares on the big
board made little or no response TO the
publication today of favorable produc-
ton figures for the last quarter OF
1922 by several leading copper produc-
ing companies, a number of this group

that production operations have start

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

In most of the principal markets
the tendency of prices to-day was
downward. This was true of the
greater part of the stock exchange
list of investment bonds and to a
less extent of cotton.
German marks kept on with The
recovery at the outset of the day.
Selling at 81 1-2 thousandths of
cent as against II a week ago. but
later the rate came down again.
For an hour or SO during the fore
noon the stock market had quite
bit of shake out. When symptoms
of real weakness developed. support
ing orders were rushed in and an
irregular recovery followed. 1t was
nevertheless the first important check
which the market has had since the
increase in Federal Reserve rates
two weeks ago. There was. of course.
nothing in the news Of the day TO
account for the decline The specula-
ton as it has been conducted for the
last fortnight has appeared to eau
tiously minded people as altogether
excessive.

Moscow. March S.-RuSsian labor
representatives are holding a confer
cnce in Moscow to discuss the diff
culties that confront them. These Ia
Dor difficulties are due largely TO
poor machinery, worn out by non-re-
newal of parts and lack of repairs !;
declining production and the demand
by the trusts. which now direct in
duStry. for reduction of basic wages.
In 1917 Moscow bad 10000 work
crs. Now it has 244,000. and it is
estimated that of these GS.O00 are UNI
employed. The loss OF efficiency in
machinery is Strikingly shown in fur
mace work. In the last few years
the furnaces throughout Russia have
lost 20 per cent of their heat -produc-
ing qualities 0ying TO lack of repairs.
The question of wages forms one of
the prominent subjects of debate. I'm
Ill now wages have been calculated
on complicated system based upon
the prices of leading commodities. the
wages rising and falling as prices
fluctuated. Now the trusts demand a
more elastic system that will enable
them TO calculate the wage scale ac-
cording to profits or the losses.
The workers recognize that several
of the largest trusts are operating at
loss. their goods costing more to
produce than the amount for which
they are sold. The workers see that
continuing such condition would be
absolutely fatal to industry. The eX-
listing scale Of industrial wages is
from 30 TO so per cent of the gold
ruble value of wages before the war.
In some industries. however. wages
are in arrears. That is one reason
for the failure of the coal and iron
industries in the Don basin.
There has been n frank discussion.
in the newspaper Pravda. of this is
sue. One correspondent describes in
duStry as i'll. He declares that the ILL
ness is due TO an excessive proportion
of unSkilled workmen. over-organizing,
excessive overhead charges, bad nc.
countancy and the low quality of the
goods turned out.

COUNTRY BUYERS HOLD
BACK CATTLE SUPPLY
AND IMPROVE VALUES
Hog Run Is Heavy, Hon.
euer and Prices
Are Off.
ByL C. GRUNDELAND.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light
Chicago. March s.---The uneven and
lower cattle market made country
buyers hold back some of the stuff
intended for this weeks trade and the
run was light today. This helped the
market for all grades, but values to-
day were still far below the levels
noted at the close of last week. In
the hog pens the run was again heavy.
and with more than 1900 held over
from the previous session, there was
no chance TO prevent decline IN
values. For the first time in four
days the run showed an increase Of
more than $4,000 compared with a
week. ..t-.
Receipts were: 1000 cattle; As
600 hogs; 1900 sheep; 1000 calves.
Cattle trade showed improvement
after slow start and good steers were
10 to % cents higher. Some medium
weight animals sold at 5000, which
is the high point of the week. Bulk
of steers went at SS.25 to $500, and
sellers were able to clear the pens in
SOOu Sudlle. LOWS anu HtlLtIS "tiS
up 10 to % cents with choice cows
at IS and down, while Gamers and
bulls also were up 10 to Is cents. De-
mand for calves was weak and most
sales were off % cents with bulk of
vealers at 50 to 1925.
Lower prices were paid for all
grades of hogs from the start. and the
trade was not improved late in the
session, when most sales were made
at q decline Of 10 to 10 cents from
the average of the day before. Prime
light hogs were taken at $500 to
SS.25, while few heavy butchers sold
above S7.95 late in the session. Rough
packing hogs went below 81, but
good lots made $40 to $3.50.
Weakness was noted in demand for
lambs from the start. The trade con-
tinued slow throughout the day, but
aged muttons were fully steady, COM
pared with the best time of the pre-
vious session. Choice wool lambs were
placed at $15 to S15.25. Some good
lots went at $14.25 to $14.50 with fall
shorn animals as high as $12.75. Aged
muttons sold well. Choice light ewes
were placed at $3.50 to SS.15.

INDUSTRIALS REACT
AFTER WILD ADVANCE
OF THE LAST WEEK
Violent Decline Does Not
Come as Surprise
to Street.
Bv STUART p. WEST.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New York. March S.-The sharp re-
action on the stock exchange today
did not come as any surprise after
the wild performances of the last
week or so in the industrial list.
Everybody of experience knows that
when the fireworks of this sort are
being set off. conservative sentiment
is antagonized and distribution of
stocks from strong hands goes on.
There was much difference of Opin-
ion today as to how far the setback
was likely to go. In many of the
late leaders, taking the low prices of
the day as compared with the high OF
the last week. it had already covered
considerable ground.
During the early trading some
further aims were made TO put up
certain stocks. Cosden Oil was one
of these. the Maxwell Motors and
lIupp Motors were others. but these
demonstrations were quickly abandon
ed as soon as it was seen that the
selling pressure was increasing in
the general list. Once prices were
headed definitely downward, profess

worked aggressively to accelerate the
decline.
Baldwin Locomotive. American
Locomotive and Studebaker each broke
> points before support was encount-
cred. General Asphalt was off nearly
4 points from Wednesdays high. The
oils went down easily with particular
weakness in Pacific Oil and Phillips
Petroleum.
A curioS feature was that the
rails. although in the recent market
they have had comparative slight adj
vance. yielded as readily as any.
These stocks have been 50 persistently
bulled in brokers' letters that they
have attracted an unstable following
which on a day like today, was easily
dislodged.

BOND MARKET REACTS
First Grade Rails Offered at New
Lows for Year.

high grade investment issues was the
feature of the bond market today.
Large blocks of first grade rails as
Northern Pacific IS. were offered
over the counter and smaller lots
were sold on the exchange at new
lows for the year. Apparently the fail
ure of the increase in the rediscount
rate to materialize had no reassuring
affect. Statements of bankers that no
increase was necessary at tis time in
view of the satisfactory position Of
the reserve ratios, were disregarded.
News of the new government
financing. while recognizing the
change in the money market. could
not be regarded as surprising. One

cent for the one years certificates
