date the charge per day will be $3 for the

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Storm Condition Holding Cp Railroads Tend
M Boost Corn Market,
Chicago, Jan. 7. Storm conditions . af
fecting the railroads tended today to up
hold th corn market. Price, closed steady
at the same as Saturday', finish to oft
with January at $1.26 Vi and May $1.25.
Oats gained to and provisions M to
43 cents. v t
Corn prices hardened a little at time, as
a result of the fact that owing to train
blockaded th arrival of corn here showed
a much smaller total than had been looked
for. It wa th general belter, however,
that a material quickening of the crop
movement would1 not be long delayed, and
there were numerous reports that empty
car. were betng furnished freely to rural
shippers.. A further handicap to bulls was
the knowledge tnat to cempiy win me
views o the food administrator the board
of trade directors had refused to disturb
the present maximum price limit on ruiure
deliveries. Under inch circumstances any
decided show of Strength wa out of the
question, but on th other hand the market
proved stubborn against the least important
decline.
Curtailment of receipt helped to lift tne
oats market. Betide, a falling off In sea
board stoeks counted against th bear.
Provision advanced beoaus th .apply or
hogs wa much less numerous than had been
expected.

NEW , YORK STOCK?
Adverse Weather Conditions
Cause Sluggishness, Reduc
Business With Impqrtant
Centers.
New York, Jan. 7. The sluggish reurae
of today' atock market doubtless result
ed mainly from adverse weather condi
tions, which materially reduced business
with Important western and southwestern
centers.
Happenings over the' week end received
favorable Interpretation In the main,
especially the war alms of Oreat Britain
as defined by Lloyd George. Advice re
garding the Russian situation also of
fered fresh encouragement.
The order of th Interstate commerce
commission requesting railroads to file es
timates of their financial requirements was
in accord with pending legislation by con
gress but railway shares were often reol
tionsry when not heavy.
Additional statements of railroad earn
ings proved disappointing and reports from
leading terminals disclosed lets than nor
mal movemrrt of traffic for such Import
ant commodities as grslns. livestock and
lumber.
Industrials moved within narrow limits
until the final hour, when fairly large buy
ing of steels, oppers and shipping effect
ed a general rally. V. S. Steei roee almost
three points from Its low, closing a frac
tion under its maximum at 94 V
Special stocks, notably those owing their
activity to pools, were Irregular, but ended
with rallies, Including Pullman, which, had
registered an extreme loss of over six
points. Sales amounted to 520,000 shares.
Sound investment conditions were denot
ed by th speedy absorption of $40,000,000
American Telephone 6 percent notes, of
fered at a 7 percent yield.
The only feature of the Irregular bond
market was the further declines In liber
ty bonds from 96.$0o to the new minimum
of 96.42c. the 1's selling at 98.84 0
98.73c. Total ssalea of bonds, par value,
aggregated 14,235,000. U. S. Bonds, old Is

NEW DEMURRAGE
RULES TO HASTEN
CAR UNLOADING
No Change as to Export
Freight, But Rates May
Run to Ten Dollars
Per Day.
(By Associated l'reN.)
Washington, Jan. 7. To promote
more prompt unloading of freight
cars. Director General McAJoo to
day established new railroad demur
rage rules for domestic traffic, effec
tive January 21. continuing the pres
ent two days tree tune, hut provid
ing for increases ranging from 50 to
1U0 per cent in charges thereafter.
The director general appealed to
shippers and consignees to help in
releasing cars to meet the national
emergency, and to make special ef
forts even before the higher demur
rage charges go into effect to clear
terminals as a contribution to the suc
cess of the war.
The new demurrage rates, approved
by the Interstate Commerce commis
sion, on request of the director gen
eral, arc $3 per car for the first day
after the two free days; $4 for the
second and $1 additional for each
succeeding day untit the charge per
day reaches $10. This maximum then
will be charged for every day or
fraction thereafter. ' Much higher
rates have been charged on the Pa
cific coast and fn several other dis
tricts, than throughout the east.
No changes will be made for the
preseu. in demurrage rules or rates
on export freight. The new regula
tions, said Mr. McAdoo's order, "spe
cifically contemplate the cancellation
of all average agreement provisions of
existing tariffs. Railroads are in
structed to file tariffs embodying the
new rates with the Interstate Com
merce commission and state commis
sions. In approving the filing of new de
murrage tariffs, the Interstate Com
merce commission took action for the
first time on a request of the director
general for higher rates.
About one-fifth of the through pas
senger trains on eastern railroads
were withdrawn from service today
with the director general's approval
and within a week or two many other
passenger schedules will be curtailed.

URGES U. S. TO IMPORT-.
MEN HELPWIH WAR
Elbert H. Gary Declares Ger--.
many Is Stronger Than Ever;
Oriental Countries Can
Furnish Labor.
(By A-viclalrd 1'rfrt.)
Chicago, Jan. ".A plea to solve
the labor problem of the United ,
States by the importat'on of Orient-;
als, was made here last night in ari."
address by Elbert H. Garychairman'-'
of the board of the United States,
Steel corporation, at a dinner given'
by the Commercial club.
Mr. Gary, whose subject was "Busi
ness during and after the war," stated
that Germany was stronger than ever
and that he subscribed to the opinion
of an eastern newspaper that it would
be wholesome for every ' American;
business man to place over his desk
the words, "Germany is winning the
war." '
Not that Mr. Gary thinks the words .
will always remain true. He thinks
that two or three more years will
bring a victory for democracy over
autocracy mayhap tooner, but mean
while he insists that even optimists
like himself should unblinkingly faco
the tact that so far the fruits of vic
tory belong to the central powers.
In touching on the labor problem he
said: .
Should Import Men.
".To the extent needed the United
Stales should immediately, under
proper conditions and reasonable re
strictions, draw fronj the islands of
the sea and from Oriental countries,
enough men, including soldiers and
sailors, to meet every emergency.
There should be no difficulty in ob
taiuing within a short period large
numbers of strong, healthy, "intell
gent, loyal men. for civil or even mili
tary duty, and the number coW be
increased from time to time as' re
quired. AIL who are acquainted with,
the facts know tltat we need mote
men and that we can get them if we,
are so disposed. If legislation is re;
quired : congress should act without
delay." V..
Mr. Gary said, that although the
picture of German strength, which hft
drew was shocking, it was not exag-"
gerated, and he added: .'
"There will be more healthy and
more skillful soldiers, even more com
petent officers, bigger and more der;
structive rannon, submarines and air
craft and safer entrenchment." "Gef.j
money," the speaker emphasized, "is,,
not idle nor dilatory." . ,,v,J
Foundation of the Church 4 i
Christ the Holy Spirit
"According to the estimate of Prof.
Ross, the work of the church today,
is being: carried on by one-tenth r of
its members," said Rev. H. G. Lang-"
ley, pastor of Trinity Methodist;
church, Sunday in a sermon on "The,'
Church in 191$." ' -' ;
"General Sherman in 1863 said the'
trouble with the army of the Potomac,
was that only three-fourths of the;
men were engaged. The army of the!
West had nine-tenths of its men en-'
gaged and produced correspondingly
good results.- ' - "
"A recent survey of successful
effurches by the Federated council of
churches of Christ resulted in the'
picking of 16 signally successful
churches in this country. They were
of seven different denominations. But
every one of them had a foundation -stone
of success. -That foundation
stone was true evangelism. No mat
ter in what line the activities of the
church extend, the foundation must
be evangelism, Christ, the Holy Spirit
"At the very origin of the church
this presence of the Spirit was the
great feature. In the authority of the
church in past ages and today it is
the one feature. And it is the great
est power in the mission of the"
church. i . -:
"You often hear people say they?
believe in the church because of the?
good it does, the hospitals, schools:
and orphans' homes it maintains. But
it is not for these material reasons ,
that the church has its place right
fully in the world. It has a higher
right; it is authorized by Christ Him
self. And this is not merely by His
words when He was on earth, but hy
His presence today in spirit in the
living church." -
