STOCK DEALING
IS RESTRICTED
o ' 1 1
Sales Amount to Only 260,
0Q0 Shares; Sugar Gains
Two Points
NEW YORK. March 13. In all
essentials today's stock market re
peated its perfunctory performance
of the previous session. Dealings
again were limited to utilities and
the more speculative issues.
Foreign news was ignored .and
home advices were without distinct
influence. Traders had the field to
themselves and initiative in that
quarter was lacking.
Two of the foremost industrial
companies, American Tobacco and
American Sugar, submitted their
1917 reports, showing substantial
gains In general operations over the
preceding year. These exhibits
evoked moderate response, sugar
gaining two points and tobacco one
and a quarter.
Steel and Iron shares were steady
to firm most of the time in conse
quence of the increased output an
nounced by the leading mills. Rails
moved within an unusually harrow
area. jr-
Among the weakest utilities were
Feoole's Gas. Laclede Gas and Pub
He Service of New Jersey. American
Telephone was again depressed, but
made rapid recovery on denial of ad
verse reports. General Motors was
weakest of the specialties, reacting
four points. ' and General Electric.
Prepsed Steel Car, Pullman and
Sears-Roebuck recorded extreme
losses of 1 1-2 to 4 points.
Sales amounted to 260,000 shares.
On very light dealings bonds, includ
ing liberty Issues, were Irregular.
Sales ( par value, aggregated $2.
700,000, United States bond, old issues,
were unchanged on call.
Corn Prices Are Better;
March, $1.28; May, $1.27
CHICAGO. March 13. Unfavora
ble weather conditions, together
with predictions of a falling off in
receipts, strengthened the corn mar
ket today after some weakness at
the outset. ' Prices closed firm at
the same as yesterday's finish to l-8c
higher, with March $1.28 and May
$1.27 1-8 to 1-4. Oats gained l-4c
to 3-8 to l-2c. In provisions, the
outcome ranged from 2c decline to a
rise of 15c.
At fl-'t the corn market was un
der pressure from cash interests, in
cluding a large elevator company.
Bearish sentiment which for the
time predominated, was said to be
due also to the liberal reserves on
farms. At a slight decline, how
ever, considerable support develop
ed, chiefly through commission
houses.
Reports of liberal sales to the
seaboard helped to lift the oats mar
ket. Besides deliveries from farms
were said to have lessened. I
An unexpected sharp advance in
the value of hogs made provisions
average higher. Trade" however, was
light.
MILL FEED IS
GIVEN ATTENTION
Committee to Look Into Com
plaints ; Millers Are Not
Obeying Rules
WASHIXGTON. March 13. The
question of mill feed was reopened
today by the food administration,
with an announcement that com
plaints that seme millers have failed
to abide by regulations as to profits
will be investigated by a committee
headed by Dr. Frank W. Taussig,
chairman of the tariff commission,
and including a representative of th
federal trade commission, a member
of the food administration, a rep
resentative miller and a representa
tive producer.
Soaring prices of bran affecting
the cot of dairy products, have been
one of the most irritating problems
of the food administration. The mil
lers' committee requested that the
inquiry be made, so that" discredit
might not be brought on all by the
sction of a few.
Food .Administrator Hoover a"s,i
will refer to the committee when th-
personnel is completed, proposed al
terations in the milling regulations
which experience has demontratei
should be changed before next sea
son.

NEW SCALE OF
PROFIT IN USE
War Department to Have
$300,000,000 of New Con
struction This Year
WASHINGTON, March 12. A
rew and reduced ecale of profit per
centage has been put into effect -in
all fovernment construction con
tracts for 11 8. the contracts aver
aging one per cent better from thj
government's standpoint than thj
contracts of last year.
Approximately $300,000,000 worth
of construction will be done for the
war department this year under thi
direction of the emergency construc
tion division of the war Industries
board, which today made public the
details of its operations and of the
changes, made in contracts.
The program this year calls for
the building of six4 great terminal
and storage areas at Atlantic coast
Jorts. approximately 31 Interior or
accumulation. storage areas, and per
haps six gas and powder plants In
addition to the two big powder fac
tories already authorized at Nash
ville and Charlestown, W. Va.
All the contracts have been made ;
under the erst and percentage ar- J
rangement. with close supervision by
rovernment experts. I
The older maximum of 10 per
cent profit on contracts running up
to $100,000 has been replaced by 7
per cent in the new contracts, which
follow a finely graded scale of 6
per cent between $100,000 and
$500,000; 6 per cent between $500.
000 and $1,000,000, to the mini
mum of 2H per cent on contracts
of $10,000,000. The old contracts
allowed 8 rer rent between' $100.
000 and $250,000 end then 7 per
cert uo to $3,000,000.
As the hulk of the contracts called
for expenditures varying from $1.
500.000 to $3.000. 000v the board de
cided that the graduations of the old
percentages were not adjusted equit
ably. "T- '
Both forms of contracts set a max
imum of $250,000 profit on any one
contract. The new contracts .limit
profit on sub-contracts to. 2$ per
cent regardless of the rate paid on
the body of the word
Major William Statrett, chief of
the emergency -construction division,
said todav the compenjsation to con
tractors in all contracts has been
much lower than the average f in
peace times. 1
Terminal and storage areas to be
built this year at six ports already
selected will cost from $12,000,000
to $15,000,000 each for the great
warehouse.

"May I enquire your lordship's

"Well. replied the prisoner,
"since your lordship to accurately
