American Agricultural was weak, falling 114 points to 4614Atlantic Gulf was active and rose 1 point to above 42 Steel common shaded off slightly to SI 14 Baldwin, at 89, and Crucible, at 9214. represented fractional declines.

Pennsylvania Railroad was In supply and Norfolk & Western dropped 2 points to 9714, while Northern Pacific, after falling 2 points to 80%. rallied to 85.

Cnited States Steel held around 8114(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 1— There was nothing in the news over the week-end to change market sentiment. The President signing the bill for the reJief of the railroads ordinarily would have served the purpose of creating a little confidence, but conditions do not seem to be favorable here, and therefore, a matter of this kind is practically ignored. The misfortune is that business here has not shown the improvement that was expected, while In Europe conditions are about as unfavorable as they have ever been, and with the pnblic taking no Interest In the stock market, it has become largely a professional affair, and the trading being limited to a comparatively smail number of Issues, and the dally efforts being centered on these few naturally gives the market a very weak appearance. How soon tba change is to come is difficult to say, but there is certainly noth - at the moment that is at all encouraging. Some are of the opinion that the coming change In Administration at Washington will serve the purpose of increasing confidence, but there is even no assurance as to this. Technically the market is undoubtedly sound, but we need an Incentive for a greater public participation and temporarily at least it Ujoks as though the professional element will have their own way.

GRAIN MARKET TRADE QUIET Only Fractional Changes in Quotations. CHICAGO, March I.—Trading in grains was quiet on the Chicago Board of Trade with only fractional changes in quotations. Corn and oats showed a little strength when some buying power came into the market. Provisions were higher. ■March wheat opened unchanged at $1.66% and dropped %c later May wheat opened unchanged at $1.56% and gained %e later. May corn opened un lc at 6S%c and gained an additional %c before the close. July corn opened unchanged at 71%e and advanced %c subsequently. May oats, after opening up %c at 44%c. held that figure. July oats opened up %c at 46c and remained unchanged In later trading. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —March 1— Wheat—Excellent crop news and liberal receipts of wheat in the Southwest started prices lower. Market ran into a demand from cash handlers for the March delivery which had the appearance of being against export gales. Buying of this character has been the only feature in the market, outside interest still being ot small proportion. Millers were bujera of the March delivery In Minneapolis. The strength in the March nnd the maintenance of premiums for cash wheat are tho sustaining factors in the market and give a foundation to prices which will make market sensitive to revival of flour trade, further export business, or dis turblng news from the new crop. Pending possible developments along these lines, market is likely to be narrow and uninteresting. Corn and Oats—Heavy reciflpts of corn in this market were offse.t during the day by the strength In wheat and by an unexpected decrease In the visible., The decrease is misleading for the reason that the recent heavy receipts in Chicago have not been unloaded and therefore are not included iu the visible statement. Advices as to continuation of movement are mixed, but it seems to ns that work in the fields will keep the farmers busy and prevent free marketing of the remaining surplus. The visible supply has increased some 20,000,000 iu the last sixty duys. Considering the very poor domestic demand during that period, we wonder where the origtnal owner of this enormous amount of corn could rave found a buyer If it had not been for the investment demand for deferred delivery. About 800,000 export business reported yesterday, but domestic trade still very slow, this market docs not offer any strong inducer to th* investor because of ths largest surplus in sight and the probability of liberal reserves still back. At the same time It seems to be the fact that tho surplus hag had full tnfluance, and from tris time forward market should hate the help of smaller movement. Provisions--j.ue strength In grain* and a little export demand for lard offset a decline in hogs in the provision market. Trad® has been light with interest at a minimum.

Since Monday morning some precipitation bus occurred in the northeastern parts of the country, in Texas, anil in the north I’oclrio region, lint elsewhere generally fair weather has prevailed. The Northwestern depression is moving slowly eastward over western Panada and extends southward over the plains Spates. It has caused warmer weather over practically all of the Interior, and the readings throughout the Not hern and Western States are for the most part considerably above the seasonal average. At 7 p. m. Monday there was no snow cover in the central valleys except from the lakes region nortli westward over Canada, where depth* of from two to | twelve inches remain. INDIANA HIGHWAYS. Roads continued to improve throughout the week and the mulu highways are now in good condition over pracrh ally the entire State, although they ore better in tlie northern and central portions than in the southern.

MILLIONS WAIT CHANCE TO SAIL ACROSS BRINE Immigrants Encamped at Ports of Europe in Efforts to Reach America. PASSENGER SHIPS BUSY By FKEDERIC J. HASKIN. WASHINGTON, D. C— Anywhere from 10,060,000 to 25,000,000 people, according to various estimates, are literally standing in line in Europe waiting for a chance to come to America, according to Commissioner of Immigration Wallis of New York. Mr. Wallis recently gaze the Senate Committee on Immigration a succinct \ and startling account of the immigration situation, of which only a few words have heretofore been published. The gist of his facts are, therefoie, here set : forth. In Danzig he says that people are standing* in line by thousands to get on the boats, and that they are camped all about the port of embarkation, waiting their turns. TJre steamship companies i report that they are offered ten times as much business as they can handle. Most of these immigrants huve sold everything they possessed in order to raise enough money to pay for a passage to this country, and to have enough rnouey to be admitted when they arrive. They pay from sllO to $l6O for a steerage passage to the United States, which is more than a first-class passage cost a few’ years ago. The immigrant carrying business is said to be very remunerative to the steam- j ship companies. Many of the immigrants tell of being I robbed at the port of embarkation. They j are forced to check all of their personal , belongings while taking a bath, and afterwards they say they are unable to recover them, the checks not being honored. There are also tales of women and girls being dragged out of line and robbed. The result is that when the Immigrant arrives in the United States he does not have sufficient money to be admitted to this country, as the law provides that he cannot be admitted if he is likely to become a public charge. On one ship carrying perhaps a thousand immigrants there were several hundred that had less than $1 each in money. Many of them, from regions Infested with tvphus, wear clothes so flimsy thnt these clothes will not stand the disinfecting process through which they must be put. CONGESTION AT ELLIS ISLAND. Most of these destitute immigrants claim that they expect money here from friends, relatives or societies, and most of them are. in the course of time, rescued by some of their compatriots in this country. But meantime they must be cared for at Ellis Island. The island has no accommodations for such a swarm of people. They are compelled to sleep on the floors, and until recently many of them had to sleep without blankets. There are no adequate toilet facilities or facilities of any other kind. Furthermore, these almost destitute people land in a country, the language of which they can not speak, in a city which Is already full of unemployed persons, and which has bread lines. There l* practically to machinery for placing these people in joim. Mr. Wallis re j ported several letters that he bad had I ftorn the We-t a-klng for immigrant la bor at good wages. But he has no authority to establish or to act as an employment agency. He believes that the Labor Department is now taking some ■ steps to distribute these immigrant laborers where they are needed, but does not know what funds they have for the purpose. (Asa matter of fact, they have practically none. The United States Employment Service, since the armistice, has been reduced to a skeleton orgaul- ! intlon.) Mr Wallis does not believe that the j situation L> to be relieved by the passage of a law like the Johnson bill prohibit lug ail immigration, with certain exceptions, such as the blood relatives or j those already here, for a year. He believes that the exceptions, and the j frauds which naturally grow out of them, would more than fill the boats—that w-e would get. about the same amount of immigration, but that It would consist mostly of women, children nnd otiier dependents. lie seems to believe that either all immigration should be stopped, without exceptions, until legislation regulating immigration In a scientific way can be passed; or else immigration should be allowed to run along as it is until such final legislation can be passed. BOATS CARRY MILLION EACH YEAR. Mr. YV tills points out the important fact that the amount of immigration which we can receive is limited by the number of persons which the ships can carry. He estimates that the ships now in use can carry 1,000,000 steerage passengers a year and perhaps 300,000 in the first and second cabins. It is further brought out lu the hearings ’that 25 to 30 per cent of the trans Atlantic passenger traffic is non-lmuilgrant—-that is, it consists of people who intend to return to their native countries, or of Americans returning fro* Kurope. In this way it is seen that our immigration is seif-limited to less than 1,000,000 a year, barring what comes in over the Mexican and C'auadian borders. Os course, inasmuch as the carrying of Immigrant passengers is now a highly remunerative business, it is probable that more ships will be built and put into tho business, but the increase In the immigrant stream, which will result from this will lie slow. EMIGRANT AGENT SUGGESTS CHANGE IN LAYVS. The situation, therefore, ns Mr. YY'allis sees it. is that out of 10,000.000 aliens who want to come to the United States in a given year, only 1.0)0,000 can come by reason of the limitations of the carriers. He argues that our manifest duty is to choose this million with the utmost care—to see that the 10 per cent of the proffered population which we take is the best 10 per cent and not the worst or middling. lie points out that a considerable part of the immigration now’ coming in consists of large, strong, healthy people with enough money to take care of them for some time. Others are sickly, undersized paupers. He argues that legislation should be drafted which will Insure that this large healthy, thrifty type get in and thnt the sickly paupers be kept out. Since we cannot take them all anyway, why not take the best? Mr. Wallis does not suggest the nature of the regiflations by which this selective process might be accomplished; he puts that up to Congress. He does suggest that the present laws are inadequate, especially the literacy test He points out that n man may be able to read forty words and yet be a very poor specimen of the human race. BELECTIYE PROCESS SHOULD BE OYER THERE. Mr. YY'allis further believes that this selective process should begin on the other side—that it is foolish and cruel to let the immigrant come to this country and then send him back. He believes that an arrangement for Wh selection on the other side could be made through diplomatic channels. Borne of the Senators brought out the fact that an attempt had once before been made to effect su* h an arrangement diplomatically, and tna tall the nations but Italy and China and objected. No reason in law or common übm wan offered, how - oeer, wky we aiiotM mm to nMe to re-

ceive immigration on out own terms or reject it altogether. Mr. Wallis further believes that to make any regulation of immigration effective the inspectors must be high-grade men. He points out that such men cannot be obtained at the salaries now paid which range from $1,400 to $2,400 a year. He points out that these inspectors practically decide human destinies and that men of education and intelligence are.required. Lastly, Mr. Wallis believe* that intelligent Immigration legislation should provide some machinery by which the immigrant is aided to find a Job. A competent Government employtnenl agency in connection with the immigration offices at each port of entry, which simply received applications for laborers, and listed cpportunltles generally, could do a great deal both for the Immigrant and for the country to which he comes.

URGES REMEDY FROM CONGRESS.

"The subject is of such importance thnt the next Congress should give early attention thereto."
