Apparently hope that a way to prevent the threatened clash would yet be found acted as a restraining Influence on bearish sentiment. Selling was of liberal proportions but had no appearance of being of a stampede character. Opening prices which ranged from U to 2',4c lower with May at $1.78 to $1.79V2 and July at $1.54i2 to $1.55, were followed by a slight rally and then a sag that, in some cases, went a little under the initial level.
Corn sympathized with the bearish
action of wheat, but showed relative
steadiness. A blizzard reported in Iowa tended to uphold values. After opening to c off the market rallied to above yesterday's finish but later came down somewhat. Oats traders took their cue from wheat rather than from corn. Busl.'neas was in the main local. Provisions averaged higher in line with the hog market.

PITTSBURGH ROADS READY FOR STRIKE
War Cuts Down Consumption of Supplies Here
(By Associated Pi-ess) WASHINGTON, March 16 The war and high food , prices have caused Americans to be more economical in the consumption of foodstuffs. Statistics indicating that fact have just been announced by the department of agriculture. They show that in the years of 1912 and 1913, before the war
Lthe United States was consuming 2.8
per cent more food than it produced. In the two war years, 1915 and 1916, the United States produced 1.2 per cent more food than it' consumed. Americans were consuming less edible grain, meat, dairy products, vegetables, sugar and fish, while the consumption of coffee and tea, fruits and
nuts and poultry and eggs had creased.
(By Associated Press) ' PITTSBURGH, March 16 Railroads entering the Pittsburgh district were preparing today for the strike of trainmen which is expected to affect some of them tomorrow night and the remainder on Monday. Baltimore & Ohio officials said they were ready to operate food trains and hoped to keep others going, their
line being one of the first to be
brought under the strike order. The Pittsburgh & Lake Erie also was preparing for any eventuality tomorrow night while the emergency organizations formed by the .Pennsylvania on the lines east and west of Pittsburgh last August was said to be ready for
service the instant the strike order
became effective on Monday. Threats of. a strike have not been taken seriously by many manufacturing companies and if a tie-up should come, many of them will be compelled
to suspend operations almost
diately because of a lack of terials.
Objections to the proposal were varied. One principal took the position that his district should have a community hall and that if one were established at Garfield his district would suffer. Others were opposed to the plan because, in the words of one of the members, "they wouldn't get anything out of it." , - : The proposal is to establish a large auditorium at Garfield school to seat 1200 to 1500 persons, which could serve the dual purpose of a school auditorium and a community hall. The board of education has indicated its willingness to establish such a hall in the new building, which is to cost $200,000, and various organizations in the city have approved of the plan. -
. Members of the Garfield faculty are in hearty sympathy with the proposal.
