characterized balloting on the tariff measure came late yesterday with a vote rejecting an amendment by Sen- ator Walsh, democrat, Montana. which would have had the effect of disseminating the practice of milling Canadian wheat in this country un- der bond.
 The solid front of both the demo- crats and the independent republi- cans was broken. Twelve democrats opposed the amendment and one of the Independents, Schall of Minne- sota. also voted against it.
 The amendment would have i'm posed the full duty of 42 cents a bushel on wheat milled in bond, when withdrawn for export The eff feet of the vote was to leave this sec ton of the bill as drawn up by the house unchanged as the senate had previously declined to eliminate the house provisions, under which the milled wheat. when exported to a country granting the United States q preferred flour tariff, would be assessed the difference between the preferred and the regular -four tar ifs of the importing country.

NEW YORK, January Awhile there
probably will be in time an extension of
the electrified division of the New York
Central lines. the feeling among rail-
road men today was that it Is the power
companies and the manufacturers Of
electrical equipment who are anxious
for an early increase in electrified mile
age, rather than railroad officials them
selves.
1t is we'll known that the New York
Central has developed one of the most
economical steam locomotive operations
in the country. 1t is questionable, there
fore, whether, aside from the prestige
that electrification would give the
company, it would be justified from a
purely dOllarS-and-cen standpoint in
expcnding the amount required to en-
large the scope of its electrified lines.
Large Order Placed.
It has recently placed one of the
largest orders for steam locomotives in
years. When this is completed it will
have delivered to it 100 engines that
represent the last word in locomotive
construction and which will run at a
cost comparable with the lowest costs
of any electrical locomotives in use
under similar operating conditions.

WHEAT PRICES DROP

turns. Corn and oats were relatively
steady, with corn starting at 1s decline
to shade advance, and subsequently
holding near to initial figures. Pro-
visions tended to sag.
Emphasizing reports today Of price

Inmates that the 1923 wheat yield in
Canada is about 60.0o0,O00 bushels
more than the Canadian government S
latest total. Confronted by such show
ing, general selling and lack of support
developed quickly in the wheat market
here, and numerous standing orders to
let go of holdings and thus put stop
to losses were automatically forced into
operation.
Despite seasonable weather for the
movement of corn and Notwithstanding
wheat weakness corn prices showed con-
siderable resistance to declines. Some
export demand for corn at the seaboard
continued to be in evidence, and Buenos
Aires quotations on corn were higher,

half as much as was the case at this

although a considerable part Of the lat

The power companies have been in
tegrated and their output greatly in

they would like to have customer of
the size of the New York Central to
absorb substantial annual supply of
surplus power.
1t is understood that the New York,
New Haven & Hartford has no intention

eastern terminus at New Haven. Studies
that have been mac2 of this electrified

steam generated power. The Illinois
Central has made a satisfactory test of
electricity on its suburban lines around
Chicago and its management feels that
the cost of this installation has been

DECLINE IN VEGETABLE
SHIPMENTS is SHOWN

Shipments of fruits and vegetables
have shrunk to about one-fourth the
carlot movement at the height of the
season in October, says the United
States Market Service Review. Potatoes,
the leading item, are light even
Tor the time of year, and daily
totals are sometimes not more than
half the average requirements. Low
prices, combined with severe weather,
have tended TO restrict shipments from
distant sections, particularly from the
upper Lakes region. Combined carlot
shipments from the main crop region
are still some $4,000 cars behind last
seasons figures. Limited supplies in
city markets resulted in some price
gains early in January, usually 5 to 10
cents per 100 pounds, and sales in
western New York producing sections
made similar advance, reaching 81 to
$l.05 per 100 pounds for sacked stock
IN the Rochester district.
Prices to growers formerly 35 cents
per bushel in bulk became mostly 40
cents, but position was considered none
too strong, owing to signs of increasing
shipments from more distant sections.
Wire inquiry was reported good, and
some sales were made for Southern
markets. where prices are considerably
above general level, owing to absence
OF competing local supplies.
