PRESSURE BEARS DOWN ON STOCKS Steel issues Offered in Large Blocks. NEW YORK, Jan. 27. —Business on the stock exchange during the first fifteen minutes today -was generally qnlet with only fractional changes In the leading issues, but a number of specialties became prominent and made substantial advances. American Can, in which there has been growing activity day after day for some time, whs one of the strongest features, moving up more than 1 point to 30%, the highest price touched in a long time. Royal Dutch was also actively traded in, moving up 1% points to 66. and there was continued heavy trading in General Asphalt, which moved up % of a point to 68%, afterward reacting to 68%. International Paper, another active feature, moved up over 1 point to 61%. Steel common rose % of a point to 82%. from which It reacted to 81%, and Baldwin rose % of a point to 90%:Mexican Petroleum, after opening up % of a point at 155%. yielded to 154%. Crucible Steel yielded % of a point to 93%. A. G. and YY. I. dropped % of a point to 68%. but recovered. Northern Pacific advanced % of a point to 84%. The market was subjected to pressure during the forenoon. with the steel shares offered in large block*. Steel common declined from 52% to 81%. Baldwin Locomotive was also under pressure, yielding from 90% to 87%. Mexican Petroleum sold down over 1 point to 154%. Royal Dutch, however, held strong, making a further advance to 67. American Can was also In urgent domaud, selling at 31, a gain of 1% points. Sears-Roebuck sold down nearly 8 points to 89%. Studebaker fell 1% points to 55%. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Jan. 27 On the eve of the change of administration at Washington and business Just beginning to recover from a fearful depression, it is but natural to expect a waiting attitude on the part of the general public and conflict of ideas and opinions among the professional element. As the result of this the market has had a tendency toward moderation in business. while daWy activity has centered around a few specialties. In times as these such professional operations naturally constitute an important part of the’ dally business. But these operations have not been entirely one-sided. Buying and selling by tuis element has been almost equal, and the action of the market has demonstrated clarly that it will require some new bearlshment development to induce further liquidation. We hare bad during the last few weeks several periods of aggressive selling, but the market has quickly recovered from these depressions, showing a stubborn aud firm undertone, with the demand increasing on declines rather than diminishing, as has been the case during the last year. It is Just likely that we may pass through a short period of dullness, with now and then some reactions, but we are of the opinion that these weak markets should be met with buying orders.

SLUMP HITS GRAIN PRICES Wheat, Corn and Oats Lower —Provisions Down. CHICAGO, Jan. 27. —Liquidation of long wheat, which the market was unable to absorb readily, caused further declines in grain futures on the Chicago Board of trade today. Corn was sold freely. There was little activity in oats and provisions were lower. March wheat opened at $1.63, down %c, losing l%c In later trading. May wheat opened at $1.53%, down %c, and dropped an additional 2%e before the close. May corn opened down %c at 67c and lost %e later. July corn opened at 68c, flown %c, alad lost an additional %c be fore the close. May oats opened unchanged at 42%c and iost %c In later trading. July oats 4>penefi unchanged at 42%c and dropped %e In later trading. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) -Jan. 27Wheat —The Impending movement of the Argentine wheat crop dominates the entire market not only in the way of bringing liquidation of holdings, but also in the way of a practically complete let-up in foreign demand for the United SMtes wheat. Export business yesterday Was reported as 200.000 bushels to Italy and 100,000 bushels to Holland. No official action has been taken on 'he question of the amount ol' tax to be placed upon Argentine exports. In view of the repudiated financial situation there, it can be assumed that the surplus of the crop will be marketed as best possible. On this question of the Argentine movement we want to mention that their surplus is about the same as that of the State of Kansas and should not, therefore, be expected to fill up the entire needs of Europe. Further than this, it probably will develop that the actual movement of the southern hemisphere cropfwill uncover the fuct that It had been fully anticipated. At the present moment It is difflcuit to interest buying, foreigners being impressed with the Idea of free selling by Argentina and the domestic flour trade still displaying timidity whenever market shows an easy tendency. That portion of the country where our remaining surplus lies is selling very sparingly. Decreases In the visible supply at this time of year are not ordinarily seen. The Immediate trend of the market Is not clearly defined, but we lean to the idoa that a’rgumonts for lower prices have had due influence and that market will again be colored by the si/.e of the mlliing demand aud the freedom with which the country markets Us holdings. Corn—lt is probably true that the country dealer and the grower have stopped selling corn because of the recent decline in prices. None the less, there is sufficient moving on previous consignments to more than supply the very poor Eastern demand. Market is under the influence of the heavy hedging load which has been placed against accumulations now in elevator aud corn in transit and to be unloaded. It is remembered that the consuming trade have been buying in a hand-to-tuouth way and have not anticipated future needs. Any appearance of strength In the market might readily improve the demand from that source. Market Is entitled to a reaction from the heavy liquidation which has been experienced. Provisions -Racking Interests were sellers of lard It) a small way; offerings of cash product were more liberal. Hog market Is expected to rule firm. Provisions are still considered worth the money.

PARIS TO BUY BIT OF RADIUM PARIS, Jan. 2?. —The Paris municipal authorities have voted a credit of two and a half million francs with which they want to purchase two grammes of radium. While the money is forthcoming, even the small quantity of the precious mineral needed cannot be found in France. There exists in the whole country but one gram of radium and this is in the care of Mine. Curie, widow of the celebrated French savant. Mme. Curie, who proposed to the authorities that they should purchase some radium in order to supply Paris and French hospitals with Its eagerly sought “emanations,” said that failure to supply such gases meant the death of some 3,50 ft people annually from cancer in Paris alone. She has received beseeching letters from all parts of the country asking for her help, but in many cases she had to refuse because she could not spate the mineral she had in her possession. She further advocated the building of a large radium hospital on the site of the Paris fortifications which are now being dismantled. If the tw-o grams are found and Mme. Curie thinks America could supply them, they will be kept In the Pasteur Institute and only the emanations seat out to JhoeTltala.

RIGID ROUTINE GIVING WILSON BETTER HEALTH Strict Adherence to Doctor’s Program Putting President on Feet. NOW TIPS BEAM AT 181 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2T.—President Wilson's continued daily improvement in health, Blow and to the untrained eye of the layman, imperceptible as it really Is, is due In no small measure to his fathful and rigid adherence to a prescribed daily routine, according to his physician and friend, Rear Admiral Cary 1” Grayson. Admiral Grayson has had complete charge of the President’s health from the time he entered the White House eight years ago and has treated him until his last serious illness on the Chinese theory that the duty of a doctor is to keep his patient from becoming sick. He succeeded with this theory through all the strenuous years of the Wilson Administration until the ill-fated Western tour which culminated in the entire physical breakdown of the chief executive Sept. 28, 1919. Dr. Grayson has always felt that this breakdown was caused In a large measure by the inability of Mr. Wilson to observe his carefully prepared routine, diet and exercise on account of living aboard a railroad train. With the convalescence of the President, Dr. Grayson resumed his routine and is slowly building the President up to at least a semblance of his old-time health. The daily routine of the President under Dr. Grayson's guidance varies but little. The President rises at 7 o'clock and shaves himself with a safety razor. After a bath, he goes through a series of physical exercises patterned after the Army calesthealcs or setting-up exercises. Breakfast is served at 8 o’clock in a small dining room leading off from his bed-chamber. Mrs. Wilson always Joins tba President at breakfast. Mr. Wilson eats a rather hearty breakfast consisting generally of a glass of orange Juice, fruit, cereal, eggs, toast and coffee. From breakfast the President goes djreotly to his study, where he labors undisturbed until 11 o’clock. It is the President's rigid rule to stay at his desk until it is cleared of all matters requiring his attention. No one Is allowed to dis turb him and only his jersonal stenographer, Charles L. Swem, Is admitted to the study while the President la dispos iig of his morning routine. In this manner he is enabled to do an Immense amount of wr>rk promptly. From 11 to 12 noon, if It is not raining, the President takes an open air sunbath on the south portico of the White House, warmly wrapped to guard against catching a cold. Mr. Wilson sits In his wheel chair, while Mrs. Wilson reads aloud to him. From time to tlmj Mrs. Wilson is relieved of this duty by Dr. Stockton Axson, brother of the first Mrs. Wilson, who has been living at the YVhlte House for several mouths.

Promptly at 12 o'clock, noon, the President and Mrs, Wilson, members of the White House staff that are not on duty and auy friends of Mrs. Wilson's that maty be at the house, go to the east room of the White House, where they cou- ► tltute the audience for a motion picture show. The program of this show Is changed daily aud producers fight for the opportunity of making a premiere of their pictures at the White House. At 1 o'clock President YVilson has his luncheon, which may bo called the heaviest meal of the day. The luncheon might be more properly called a mid day dinner, as It Is served in courses and Is attended by more formality than an> other meal. Dr. Grayson allows the President- a wide latitude in this meal, his only restrictions bejng against too rich food, fat meats, gravies and rich desserts or sweets. Coffee is also forbidden at this meal. PREFERS TO RIDE IN OPEN MACHINE. After luncheon Mr. Wilson takes a nap until 3 o'clock, when he and Mrs. Wilson go on a daily motor ride about the city, through the parks and into tha surrounding country. Regardless of the weather, unless- it is raluing, the raotoi trip is made in a big open car with the top down. The President dresses warmly and wears a golf cap. In rainy weather a limousine is used If the President wishes to go out, but he doe not care to make long trips in a closed car. The return to the YVhlte House is made at 4:30 and Mr. Wilson goes immediately to his study to see if any papers needing his immediate attention have been sent over from the executive offices. If so, he immediately disposes of thorn and then turns his attention to the dally newspapers. President Wilson rends ths daily papers very quickly. If he la attracted by the headlines he reads the article, If not he glances through the sheet and turns his attention to the next one. in the hour that he gives himself for this purpose the President reads the leading papers from all sections of the country. At 7 o'clock he has dinner with Mr3. Wilson. Sometimes this mixil is served In the little breakfast room, but ordinarily it Is eaten in the family dining room near the state dining room. This meal is a light and simple one without meat of any kind. After dinner the President watches a game of pocket billiards betweei Mrs. Wilson and I)r. Axson in the billiard room or goes to his own chamber where, if the weather is cool, he will sit for half an hour or no before the open fireplace before retiring for the night Bedtime for President Wilson comes at V o'clock unless there should be a family gathering necessitating his sitting up longer. This is the general daily life of the President of the United States, and Its success is witnessed by his steady improvement. The President recently stepped on the scales for Dr. Grayson anff tipped the beam at 181 pounds, the heaviest that he has weighed in Ills life The new residence recently acquired by the President and Mrs. YVilson was selected from the scores that were offered, largely because of Its adaptibillty to the President’s prescribed routine. The new house has a large enclosed glass Porch leading into a beautiful formal garden which Is terraced nearly twenty feet above the street. One enters the porch from a handsome library which Is on the third floor of the residence. Although the house is located in the most fashionable quarter of the city of YY'ashington, the arrangement of its porch and garden makes for that quiet and seclusion that Dr. Grayson believes is absolutely necessary to the President's Ultimate recovery.

ALLIES BREAK ON INDEMNITY Objections to French Demand Indicate Council Will Fail to Fix Total. PARIS, Jan. 27. —Difference among the allies over the total Indemnity Germany should be compelled to pay made It practically certain today that the present meeting of the supreme council would end without a definite decision on this allimportant question. Reparations were discussed in private conversation* by the Frenc.i, Italians and Belgians, in the meantime Premier Lloyd George was conferring with Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, who is here to canvass AngloAmerican relations. A stumbling block was put in the way of an indemnity agreement by new demands from the French. According to the French view the total should approximate $50,000,000,000, of which France would get 55 per cent. According to ex-Premler Clemenceau’s newspaper, L'Homuie Libre, the allies will agree to leave the whole question of reparations to the reparations commission. German disarmament also was discussed. Marshal Foch presented a unanimous report from the military experts as to progress in disarming Germany and the methods that should be followed in th future. Asa result of the day’s discussions, Germany is expected to be ordered to disband two-thirds of her armed forces within the next month. It was said Prattlers Lloyd George and Briand had compri mised their views. The British Tiew was that the French indemnity demand was so heavy as to cripple German industry and prevent her return to normal commerce. The deadlock over reparations tightened a sthe day advanced as a result of the new proposals of M. Doumer, French minister of finance. After a conference with Premier Briand and Count Sforza. the Italian foreign minister. Premier Lloyd George made It known thnt lie found it Impossible to accept M. Doumer's view*. Lloyd George suggested that the financial and economic experts get together again and make another report

FIRST MOVE IN RAIL WAGE CUT IN PIECE WORK Demand for Discontinuance of| Flat Rate Opening Wedge in Drive. h CHICAGO, Jan. 27. —First concerted ae tion of railroads of the country to obtain a decrease in wages paid employes was taken here today by E. T. Whiter, spokesman for the railroads, before tha United States Railroad Labor Board. YVhiter demanded that piece work b restored and a fiat rate be abolished. Tha railroads believe if their request ia granted it will not only mean a cut In the amount of wages paid employes but will also call for greater efficiency. The railroads claim that they are not getting the proper amount of work while they are paying “exorbitant wages.” YVhiter’s plea was rqade on the eve of a scheduled meeting of the labor committee of the railway executives. A concerted movement on the part of the leading railroads of the country to reduce wages of employes is under way today. Authority for tha wage reductions will be asked of the United States railway labor board within the next thirty days, it was learned from a reliable source. The first move toward conjunctive action on the part of the leading railway systems will be discussed here tomorrow when members of the labor committee of the American Association of Railway Executives will assemble. This committee will discuss the amount of tb* reductions to be asked and lay plans for Joint action by practically all of the roads. Among the members of the committee that will meet here tomorrow are W. W. Atterbury of the Pennsylvania, M. L. Bell of the Rock Island and E. E. Loomis of the Lehigh Y'alley. / Y'lgorous opposition to the appeal of .the railroad heads Is expected from the leaders of the various railroad brotherhoods and from the rank and file of rail employes. That a deadlock of serious proportions looms if the plea of the roads is granted by the railway wage board Is regarded as inevitable. PUBLIC BUILDING IS THIEVES MECCA Proves Easy Looting for Vienna Bandits. VIENNA, Jan. 22.—Scores of robberiea are taking place In Vienna, but the house Yvhich is most favored by thieves Is that which was formerly occupied by the minister of war. Scarcely a day passes when this house is not visited by robbers, who are always able to get away with their booty. The great size of the building, which contains over a thousand rooms, evl. dently attracts attention, and although the military and police have taken ail possible steps, they have been nnabls to end the present state of affairs, and not only so, but some officials have been killed on the premises. Typewriters, ornaments, pictures, mirrors. door handles and brass fittings ar all carried away. Should a thief in the course of bi wanderings about the huge building encounter someone in one of the room# he visits he Inquires for some imaginary perron, and continues his supposed search for him until he finds a room that Is unoccupied, then he quickly gathers together anything that he can find and departs. To .overcome the difficulty of carrying away a typewriter the thief hands it out of a window to an accomplice in the street, and in some cases machines have been taken to pieces and removed In aa innocent-looking dispatch case.
