NEW YORK STOCKS
Dealings Dwindle to Small To
tal, Probably Due to Strin
gent .Measures Against
Speculative Trading.
New York, Nov. 15. A pronounced
diminution of operations, probably due to
the more stringent meaxures .taken against
speculative trading, was the outstanding at
titude of today's business on the stork
exchange. Dealings dwindled to the small
total of 350,000 shares, or less than the
average week end session.
But for these precautions the day possi
bly might have witnessed further heavy
liquidation and short selling.
Overnight events, notably the more scut
railroad labor situation and the govern
ment's financial program as outlined by the
secretary of the treasury, were not accepted
as bullish market factors.
Additional ground for pessimism was
furnished by the absence of definite ad
vices from RushIs and Italy and renewed
weakness of Liberty bonds. Adverse
(juarterly reports of leading copper
producers bore significantly upon changed
conditions In that Industry.
The money market was In no wise dis
turbed by shifting of loans resulting from
payment on an 18 per cent Installment on
the second Liberty loan. The local money
pool offered round amounts on rail at
4 per cent, but time funds hardened on a
slight Increase of demand.
Stocks ouened with a heavy ton, rallied
Klrregulnrly and fell back at the Inter
mediate stage, when inactive specialties
broke 3 to 6 points. Prices rallied material
ly In the last hour on a sudden Inquiry
for shippings at gross advances of 3 to (
points. Industrials and rails recovered
more moderately, but the entire list, except
for isolated shares, closed at rallies of 1
to 3 points for lowest levels.
International bonds Improved slightly,
but domestic issues were Irregular, Liberty
4s ranged between 19.80 and 99.24. closing
at 99.50, the 3m falling from 98.90 to
98.46, a new minimum, but rallying to 99
and closing at 98.94. - Total bonds sales,
par value, aggregated 4,120,000. United
States bonds, old Issues, unchanged on call.

stocks: Sales. High. Low. Close.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE
Receipts Show Increase With
229 Oars Reported; Corn Fur
sues Narrow Course With
Few Sales Reported.
Omaha, Nov. 15, 1917.
Receipts today showed a fair Increase
over yesterday. 229 cars being Imported in.
with a good run of wheat, 106 cars showing
up, the bulk of these going to the mills.
Arrivals of corn amounted to only 34 cars,
while those of oats totalled 75 cars.
Cash corn pursued a rather narrow course,
snd up to 12:45 p. m. only a few samples
of new corn were posted. The sales were
made at very irregular figures, and It was
virtually impossible to make a comparison
of prices. Old corn continues to bring a
very substantial figure, one car of No. 1
mixed bringing $2.05. Sales of the new ar
tlclo ranged from 60c for sample yellow to
$1.40 fo No. 6 yellow, the moisture percent
age renging from 20 to 24.80, several ot
these being hot or heating and one was
sour. A car of special grade new corn
bought by a local elevator man several days
ago was taken Into the elevator and dried.
The shrinkage per bushel amounted In
value to lie. the handling of the car 10c,
and the drying amounted to (o per bushel,
making the cost of drying this car from
ti per cent down to 17 per cent, 17c per
bushel, the final cost of the car amount
ting to $1.07, based on an original cost
ot 80c.
Oats continue to be a strong feature of
the market, this cereal making another ad
vance today from lo to lc, with exporters
taking some, while several were sold for
government use. No. 3 white sold at 6(e
snd the standard grade at 65t)5o and
the No. S white at 6464c. the bulk
ot these bringing the higher quotation.
Receipts of rye and barley were 6 and (
cars, respectively, and spot quotations were
up a cent. The local demand was more
than sufficient to take care of the light
receipts. No. 2 rye sold at (1.72 and the
No. 3 grade of malting barley at $1.10
1.21 and the No. feed at $1.1601.18.
Clearances were: Wheat and flour equal
to 156,000 bushels; corn, 85,000 bushsls;
oats, none.
Primary wheat receipts were 1,159,000
bushels, and shipments. 641,000 bushels,
against receipts ot 1,247,000 bushels, and
shipments of 1,265,000 bushels last year.

els and shipments 160,000 bushels, against
receipts of 673,000 bushels and shipments of
287,000 bushels last year.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Likelihood of Increased Arrivals Tend to
Push Down Corn Prices.
Chicago, Nov. 15. Likelihood of Increased
arrivals. of new grain did much, today to
make corn average lower. There was a
nervous close' at the same as yesterday's
finish to a cent down, with December
(1.19 and May $1.16 to $1.15. Oats
scored a net advance of n to o. Latest
figures on provisions varied from a 7-cent
decline to a rise of (5 cents.
Despite some rallies, the corn market dur
ing most of the session displayed a tendency
to sag, especially at the outset, and neat
the end. Notices ot enlarged consignments
from Iowa attracted particular attention
and were accompanied by bearish advices
ot a notable lowering of moisture content,
a circumstance which would Imply ship
ments of better quality than has lately
been the rule. Reports that several leading
speculators on the bull side of the market
had been called before the federal district
attorney counted further against advances
and so likewise did eastern railway em
bargoes and fresh efforts which the admin
istration put forth to bring about a more
plentiful meat supply.
The chief basis for purchasing was the
talk of making the minimum price of bogs
$16.

Cattle There was a comparatively mod
erate run of cattle for a Thursday, and
the result was a good active market on
practically all kinds of stuff at prices that
were ateady to In spots stronger. Strength
was especially noticeable In the stocker and
feeder trade, while what few beeves were
here sold at good firm figures, and butcher
stock was active and steady to, if any
thing, a little better than yesterday. Part
of the run was pretty late getting in. but
offerings were sold Just about as fast ss
thoy were ready to show.
In spite of the extremely liberal receipts
here this week, stocker and feeder values
are mainly 16o higher than a week sgo.
The advance has been gradual, coming a
little each day, but It has put prices at
the highest levels ever seen here on every,
thing except the fleshiest feeders. Beet
steers are selling Just about where they
were a week ago, while fat cows and heif
ers are anywhere from weak on the best
kinds to 16036c lower on medium grades
and canners. Stock cows and heifers have
been steady all week. Good to choice stock
calves hae ruled about steady, while the
decent to plain grades have been slow and
uneven sellers, with the general tone
easier.

OJINAGA FALLS
IN NIGHT ATTACK
BY VILLA FORCES
Both Sides Lose Heavily ark
Government Troops Flee to
American Soil With
Their Arms.
Ojinaga, Tex., Nov. IS. Francisco
Villa again holds a port on the Mexi
can border this morning and the
Mexican federal army slept last night
in an internment camp at Presidio,
Tex., opposite here.
Following , a two-hour assault of
Ojinaga which started at sunset last
night Villa followers occupied the
plaza at 8 o'clock, after the federal
forces, in command of General Juan
Espinosa y Cordova, evacuated and
come to the American side of the
line.
Were Defeated Wednesday.
The Villa forces, under Martin Lo
poz. were driven out of the town yes
terday morning. It was estimated
today by Mexican Consul Cosme
Bengoechea that more than 200 were
killed on both sides.
The government troops suffered
the heaviest losses because of the
wounded being executed after they
were left behind by the fleeing sol
diers, in spite of the fact that the
Mexican leaders could not have been
short of ammunition They brought
over thousands of rounds, in addition
to that which was left behind or
thrown away as they ran.
General Espinosa y Cordova today
estimated his dead at 70, exclusive
of prisoners taken and shot and
wounded or killed on the ground. He
said the Villa forces suffered heavily,
as they were attacking. He added that
the fighting was hand-to-hand for
more than one hour.
Stock Exchange
' Further Curbs
Short Selling
New York, Nor. IS. -Short sales
on the New York Stock exchange are
further restricted, commencing to
day, by the latest ruling of the board
of governors, requiring all traders to
supply each day before noon a de
tailed account of every transaction
handled during the preceding session. '
The new ruling has special application
to members who trade for their own
account
Under the restrictive measure,
aimed at "vicious"' short selling,
adopted on November 1, brokers
were required to report the names of
short sellers only through the me
dium of stocks borrowed for them,
It was found that this rule did nol
apply to those who sold "short" and
covered their commitments before tin
close of business on the same day.
This procedure, it was held, necessi
tated no borrowing of stock. The new
rule now demands that the name of
every short.seller be reported daily.
As a market factor, short selling
has not figured prominently on the
exchange for the last two weeks, and
the governors in their action taken
yesterday, felt that added restrictions
will serve to prevent any undue mar
ket pressure in times of stress.
