New York Stocks

NEW YORK. Jan. 9.tuP)-Stocks,
bonds and commodities declined in
a late rush of selling today.
Unloading Of stocks gained such
momentum that the tape fell behind.
Bonds reacted after substantial
runup led by railroad and oil issues.
Cotton futures were weak all day
with the December position under
10 cents. Sugar eased.
These losses came in the face OF
the initiation talk that circulated IN
world markets. Europe took serious

than that the dollar selling was
merely the work of spectators and
that there was nothing to reports OF

plans as highly unfavorable for dol

pected to involve initiation.
Oil shares had good news in price
advances in East Texas crude Most
leading oils made new highs at gains
ranging to more than points IN
Amerada. They sagged from their
highs and some substituted losses
near the close.
Rails had a period of strength
that carried the Dow Jones average

reacted and were irregular at the
close.

Chicago Grains

CHICAGO, Jan. 8. CUP)-Further
selling came into wheat futures on
the board of trade today and prices
dropped as much as a cent bushel
under lead of the May option which
was relatively weak against defer
red deliveries for the first time In
months.
May was down 1 cent net, while
other deliveries were u to y cent
lower. Corn was Il to q cent lower,
oats was down u to " cent and rye
was unchanged to off * cent.
At the outset wheat was fairly
steady. Easier foreign cables and
continued confusion regarding the
domestic situation as result of in
valuation of the A.A.A. brought in
renewed liquidation.
Liverpool developments dampen-
ed sentiment. The English mark ct
reacted on the North American ac-
ton, sales of French wheat to Liv-
erpool, cheaper Australian offers
and larger Russian shipments.
Considerable evening up develop
ment in May, accounting for its rel
alive easiness. Buying of corn
against sales of May wheat also was
not broad, working against the
market.

For Laborers to
Aid Construction
Continued from Page ID

Continued from Page u
Calls for labor were made to Chan
Livingston. head of the Federal Re-
employment service in Imperial
county, and the activity is a fore
runner of the demands for workmen
anticipated to increase during fol-
lowing weeks.
The Morrison-KnudSen, Winston.
Utah company, the three way COM
bine awarded the contract for the
dam and desilting works, called for
10 carpenters and 10 laborerS to help
assemble and build a temporary
camp in which workmen will live
while the permanent camp is under
construction, Livingston said. These
men cleared the employment office
Wednesday and will report for work
Thursday morning.
The Lewis Construction company,
sub-contractors of the George Pol
lock company, ordered u diesel Le-
Tourneau scraper operators and two
laborers who are to report Monday
at the Pot Holes south of the dam
site. This company will excavate
and put in piling, according to
Livingston.
Six laborers were assigned to the
George Pollock company, and re-
ported for work Tuesday morning.
Relief Workers Used
Ninety per cent of the laborers
assigned to the work on the canal
by the MRS must come from relief
rolls. Livingston pointed out. This
rule applies 70 all workmen except
those coming under the exemptions
the government permitted the con-
tractors, he explained.
When men are assigned from the
relief rolls to the work on the canal"
Livingston said, they have an OPP
portunity to work for prevailing
wages. If the workers meet the
qualifications it is a splendid OPP
portunity Tor them"
Laborers on the exemption list
are as follows: operators of bull
dozers, cableways, concrete equip

cranes derricks, drill sharpeners,
diesel engines, locomotives, tunnel
timbermen, mucking machines, pow
er shovels and draglines, go HIP.
tractors and larger, five ton trucks
and larger, Lynn trucks and Le-
Tourneau scrapers, pile drivers,
drlllerS and welders.
Livingston has appealed to the
government to permit exemptions
on carpenters. pipe men and drillers
and permission to include them on
the exemption list is expected to
arrive soon.

Abandoning Gold
As Medium of
Exchange Seen

Gold. traditional medium of ex-
change, will be abandoned during
1886 as the worlds basic currency,
Charles Drees, Alb South Eighth
street, predicted Thursday.
DreeS, district commissioner of
the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC,
based his prediction on a booklet
of predictions issued annually by
the grand lodge of the philosophic
order in San Jose. Declarations are
not based on divination, Drees said,
but upon cyclical charts and dia-
grams showing human and econ
omic tendencies.
Other predictions were that real
estate will take a great boom in
1886 throughout tn enation, and
that war will rage throughout the
Far East as 1896 goes to rest.
