NEW SCHEDULES URGED
FOR MARYLAND BUSES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. February 14.-Trans-
portation companies operating between
Baltimore and points on the Eastern
Shore, Southern Maryland and Vir-
ginia will be asked to rearrange their
schedules in order that merchants COM
ing from those sections to this city
may have longer Stopover here.
That is one of the recommendations
of special trade relations committee
of the Association of Commerce.
The committee also decided today to
request merchants on the Eastern
Shore, Southern Maryland and in Vir-
ginia TO advertise more extensively in
Baltimore newspapers, while editors of
the papers will be requested to publish
more local news of interest to residents
in those sections.
Baltimore must get the trade that
is now going to Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Washington" member Of the
committee said. THE people on the
Eastern Shore find it is hardship to
come to Baltimore owing to the pres
ent schedules Of the railroads and ferry
companies.
I'VE intend to recommend that the
merchants of Baltimore and those in
other sections carry on a mail order
business with each other. This can be
accomplished by both groups adver-
Using extensively in the Baltimore pa
pers.
I'VE are going to stir up Baltimore
merchants to go after the trade that is
going from the Eastern Shore and other
sections to other cities. The trade be-
longs here and it is up to us to get it."

were common, warning such as the
Federal Reserve Board issued the other
day would have resulted in the closing
out of thousands of weakened specula-

relatively few margin calls were sent

were speedily complied with.

STOCK PRICES GAIN
/. AFTER EARLY DROP
Heavy Selling Movement De-
presses Many Issues in
First Hour.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 14.-Subjected
to heavy selling at the start, today's
Stock Market weakened substantially
and then recovered a good share OF the
loss.
The early selling was generally
ascribed to advice of brokerage houses
to their customers to liquidate long
holdings. A number of large commits
sion houses had been urging caution
yesterday. They emphasized their posi-
ton in their letters today. Then there
was the weekly meeting Of the direc-
tors of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank after the close which was to be
taken into account, and finally the
weekly compilation of brokers loans.
Call Money Easy.
AS far as the rediscount rate went,
spectators were not of one mind as to
the effect on the market If it should
be raised. Some argued that an adj
vance had been discounted and others
that 1t would not make any difference
anyway. Brokers loans we're expected
to show a decrease, rejecting the
liquidation since the last statement
Meanwhile call money was relatively
easy. The renewal rate was 61a per
cent and funds were obtainable in the
outside market at concessions from the
official quotation The outlook was for
lower rather than higher rates.
More or less, all kinds of stocks went
down when the selling was at its height.
Even the copper shares, the position of
which is much better than the average,
lost ground. Anaconda at one time was
off from 4 to 5 points from its high of
yesterday. Coppers were among the
first to rally when the pressure was
lifted.
Bethlehem Steel made a good show
ing. 1t lost couple of points in the
first hour, but before noon was back al
most to the preceding close. United states
Steel opened down over point and
went to a new low on the current move
ment before support appeared and it
retraced part Of the ground.
The motors were highly irregular.
Chrysler dipped under selling for short
account and then came back impress
sively, SO that after two hours of bust
ness 1t showed net advance on the day.
1t was the same way with Hupp. The
rebound was quicker than the decline.
General Motors moved within narrow
range.
Utility Group.
In the utility group the spectacular
performers of yesterday, American G.
Foreign Power and American Power &
Light, weakened moderately in the
early trading and then came back with
a rush. The former crossed lit to
new top, up almost points on the day.
The appetite of the public for the stocks
of utility holding companies of this
kind seems Unsuitable.
