BUTTER MARKET WEAK.
Closing Prices, However. Show

CHICAGO, March 21.-Lack OF con-
ndence and quiet trading caused a
weak and unsettled condition in the
butter market during the week, with
dealers making concessions to inter
est buyers. AdvSnces in the middle
of the week were followed by de-
clines, but closing prices in all mar
kets were higher than at the begin
ming of the week
In spite of lighter receipts. floor
stocks of dealers accumulated. With
draWals from storage were about a
million pounds lighter than for the
previous week, but about 1000. .O0C
pounds heavier than for the CORE

23S,000 pounds of Canadian at New
York and $4,000 pounds at Chicago
were considered partly responsible for
the easier tone of the markets.

How to Change Time on Broadcast
Programs.

trOSrHms.
Time was when the only ones who
thought of the difference in time in
the various parts of the United States
were travellers, who in their journeys
from place to place found 1t neces-
sary to set their watches back or
forth, depending on whether they
were travelling west or east, respec-
lively.
With the coming of daylight-saving
time, with one-half of the world go
ing about their tasks in accordance
with the time shown by the sun and
the other half by the time shown by
the clocks set by man, the science of
mental arithmetic became as popular
as the crossword puzzle, only more
so.
The process of adding or subtract
ing l from any given number is a
simple enough matter, but the matter
Of remembering whether one should
subtract or add is still another mat
ter: and so we found many of our
most distinguished citizens, account
ants among them, puzzling about the
momentous question: ITO add or to
subtract" that is the question.
This list of puzzled beings has since
been augmented by the radio fan, who
wants to know at what time-his
time-a certain station in another
time belt will be transmitting, or to
find out at what time-their time
! some particular station was transmit
ting program he heard at a certain
time-hiS time-or something to that
effect.
If the diagram shown in this ar
ticle is used. the transition, or chang
ing of one time to another, can be
made very easily.
The diagram shows a clock face,
with four concentric circles, repre-
sen nting the clock figures of the four
time belts in the United States. The
inner circle represents Pacific time,
the next outer circle represents
mountain time. the next outer one
central time, and the last outer circle
represents Eastern time
All that is necessary to find out
what time it is in the other three
time belts Of the United States is to
look at the corresponding clock po-

prices outside of the grain markets
and no loading up with high cost
goods like there was two years ago
On the other hand, 1t has to be noted
that in certain lines of trade the
expectations of the Autumn and early
Winter are not being fulfilled.
Copper Market Weak.
The copper metal has dropped back
to lax cents a pound as against 10
cents a short time ago. This does
not At in with the frequent prophe-
cies about the effect of the improved
European demand and the reduced
surplus in this country upon the cop
per trade.
Iron and steel production has been
holding up fairly well, but the point
here Is not so much what are the
activities Of mills working upon COM
paratively ow-priced orders.
Rather the question is as to
whether the steel companies are go
ing to be able to do business on
more profitable basis than they have
been during the last year.
Price Tendency Downward.
On this subject, of such critical in
terest both for the trade situation
and the stock market, the following
partial citation may be made from
a recent reliable analysis of condi-
tions:
The price tendency in steel Is plain
ly downward. Open hearth billets
have yielded 81 per ton. Black sheets
are called weaker to the extent OF
81 per ton. Shapes and plates are
81 per ton lower in several districts.
The prices of 2.20 cents on the major
products which were named IN jan
uary for second-Quarter have proved
to be a short-lived myth.
In other words. as it appears now,
the efforts of the steel companies
to obtain more profitable prices for
the second three months of the year
have failed
Prospective 1925 Wheat Down.
The fact that wheat prices represent
ing the 1924 crop went up from
around $3.50 a bushel to s2.05, and
then lost nearly all the gain. Is of
no great consequence so long as s5
per cent of the old harvest was out
of the farmers hands during these
fluctuations. But 1t is a matter of
very considerable consequence that
prices representing the prospective
1925 crop should have come down,
the way they were at one time during
the week. % to 81 cents a bushel.
This, coming at a time when 1t was
known that the Winter wheat acre
age was up 6.5 per cent over last
year, and when the prospective
planting of Spring wheat would be
nearly IA per cent larger, involves
the possibility OF an important
change in the agricultural outlook,
and one which certainly does not
augur we'll for high prices.

BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, March 21.-The past
week in the financial situation was
characterized by further break in
STOCKS and in grain, by the acknowl-
eogment OF the st. Paul receivership,
largest railway insolvency which has
occurred In recent years; by a very
uneven movement in general trade,
and by lower tendency in money
rates.
The decline on the Stock Exchange
could not have surprised anybody who
had proper respect for the teachings
or the past. The speculation which
got under way after the elections was
an altogether excessive upward swing.
1t was getting much too far ahead
or legitimate trade conditions on the
outside. 1t was treating the election
results as If these meant a sort of
business millennium. 1t was assuming
that individual stocks were worth 10
points or so more overnight. This
was the market of late December and
early January, and March has been
exacting the usual penalty.
Entire Gains Wiped Out.
What is to be said for the stock
market at the low figures reached in
the middle of the week? Simply that
the fall of 10, Is and % points, while
justifying the previous criticism re-
garding overspeculation, had at the
same time pretty well satisfied this
criticism. In a good part of the list
the entire gain since early December
had been wiped out Few declines
of such extent in a similarly short
space of time have ever been recorded.
Yet, looking back over the expert
ence of the last three years, this was
only another of the violent fuctua-
tions which have been frequent dur
ing that period. Since the Spring Of
1922 Wall Street history has been
made up OF a series of uprushes fol-
lowed by bad breaks, bull markets"
rapidly passing into bear markets"
and vice versa, without any COM
mensurate varying of business condi-
tions on the outside.
Industry Is Disappointing.
Cabinet officials at Washington
have been credited with statements
assuring the public that the collapse
In grain and the break in stocks did
not portend a season of depression.
These statements would have been
unnecessary had not too much atten-
tion been paid to the eulogistic COM
ments on the trade outlook in high
quarters three months ago, and had
not the public temporarily lost its
head during the weeks of specula-
tive extravagance which followed.
To say that the industrial situ-
alton is sound is to echo what is
being said on every side. Unques-
tionably it Is true, because there has
been no excessive rise in commodity

BALTIMORE, March 21.-Express

tween Baltimore and Washington in
the next few weeks.
r. NJ. Jennings, jr, and Clarence
h. Bowie, attorneys, representing in
terests which have asked the public
service commission for a permit to
operate the lines, called on the COM
mission yesterday and told the COM
mission that the company is ready to
buy its busses, and wanted to know If
the permit was to be issued.
Permit Coming Soon.
They were informed that under a
recent Supreme Court ruling the
commission would have to license
them, but that the company cannot
do business entirely within the State.
Passengers for Washington may be
picked up at Laurel or any Maryland
point, but the busses cannot bring
passengers from Laurel to Baltimore.
Bowie says the effect of this will
be to build up Washington at the ex-
pense of Baltimore, but that his COM
pany cannot be held responsible for
that result as it is brought about by
the Supreme Court decision in the
Bush case The public service com
mission will issue the permits i'm
