Coffee Market.
New York, Feb. 6. The announcement of
maximum prices for trading in coffee fu
tures was followed by active liquidation
here. The official statement that trading
was prohibitive above the basis of 8.60e
for the current month and in later months
at advances of more than 15 points from
the ' price mentioned for each and' every
succeeding month.
With the market below the maximum
figures, the opening was 4 to 11 points
higher, but prices were soon weakened with
late motnhs leading th decline as they
had contained the bulk of the outstanding
long Interest. The Impression appeared to
be that the fixing of prices subject to modi
fication from time to time by the food
administration would materially restrict
business and practically eliminate specula
tlon. '
'May deliveries broke to 8.25c and Sep
tember to 8.51c, and the close was at the
low point of the day. showing a net loss
of 3 to 72 points. March, 8.05c; May, 8.22c;
July. 8.37c; September, 8.62c; October,
8.66c; December, 8.67c.
The spot market was at a standstill with
prices nominal. No fresh offers were re
ported In the cost and freight market and
trade generally seemed to be waiting for a
better line on the rulings of the food ad
ministrator and their effect. The official
cables showed no change In primary mar
kets, except Santos futures which were 26
to 80 rels higher. Brazilian port receipti,

half of last week and 10,000 heavier than
a year ago. Th market opened alow, with
both local packers and shipping buyers pay
ing fully steady prices for desirable handy
weight beeves and bidding somewhat lower
on the heavy cattle aa well as on the ordi
nary light kinds. Cow stuff also ruled alow
and lower and th general market for
killing stock Is all of 26040c lower than It
waa a week ago. Stock er and feeder

receipts of hogs this morning, and shippers
started buying on the early rounds at prices
that were from 10616c higher than the

business, and were after their hogs at lower
prices. They commenced bidding and a

Sheep Although receipts of sheep and
lambs were only moderate for Wednesday,)
trade was very alow at l ie opening. Lack
of facilities for shipping dfessed stuff cur
tailed to a considerable extent the packer
demand, and fat sheep alona found trad
active to any extent. A few medium grade
light weight lamb sold early at prices from
116.60016.10. They looked fully steady
with yesterday's opening. Heavy lambs suf
fered a decline at yesterday's late close,
losing from 10 015c and In spots 25o as

Inquiry for th white variety, some of the
choice advancing to to 4c The poorer
grade wer considerably lower, showing a
decline of 6 to 10c The demand for prac
tically all grade was fairly active, sellers
experiencing very little difficulty in dispos

whit corn were taken by millers who have
evinced considerable anxiety for posseeslon
of these offerings and have also paid good
premiums to secure them. No. 1 whit sold

unchanged. Th local Inquiry was unusually
light and the shipping demand dull and as
a result only a few of th receipts wer
disposed of. these bringing yesterday's fig
ures. No. $ whlto sold at 86So and th
sample grade at 55c.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Prospects of No Pressure of Foodstuffs on
Market Hardens Corn.
Chicago, Feb. e; Assertions that for the
remainder of this season no prospect ex
isted of a pressure of foodstuffs on th
anAA tnditf tn harden nrlr.es of
corn. Prices averaged slightly higher
tnrougnout in session, ana diobou
at a shade to c net advance, with March
$1.274 and May $1.25H, Oats finished V4o
to c to 0!4c down and provisions off
25c to 37c. ' v
According to a leading authority, the
fact that the number of animals on farms
showed an Increase of more than eight
million, whereas a decrease of nearly five
million had been expeeted, has forced a
big reduction In estimates of amount of
corn likely to be obtainable from producer.
In addition, shortage of rootlv power was
said to be likely to keep th crop move
ment down to small proportions. Decided
Improvement In th weather; however, and
a likelihood that mild temperatures would
prevail for several days operated to check
any material advance.
Oat underwent a setback In valuo owing
largely to suggestions of ths possibility of
a maximum price being established. Talk
of such action seemed to b based chiefly
on th stoppage of speculative trading In
coffee. ,. . ,
Forecasts of larger receipts oi nogs senv
provisions sharply down grade. Stock yard
houses were sellers.

NEBRASKA FIRST
WITH YOLDNTEER
Furnishes Honor Man in Drive
to' Obtain Workers- in Ship
Yard Campaign; Need for
Speed Is Shown.
(From a Staff Cor.poniient.)
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 6. (Special.) j
Nebraska has the honor of furnishing
the honor man in the drive for United
Statei shipyard volunteer!. K. H.I
Walker, of Scottsbluff is the man, his
application being first to reach the
authorities at Washington, according
to word received by the Nebraska
State Council of Defense today.
Simultaneously with the announce
ment of the opening of the drive to
secure .250,000 volunteers to aid in the.
construction of Uncle Sam's merchant
marine, comes the word that the Ne
braska Council of Defense is expected
to direct the campaign for volunteers
in this state. Nebraska's apportion
ment of the vast industrial army of
250,000 skilled artisans which is to be
mobilized to carry out Uncle Sam's
ship building program, is 2,500 men.
This state will be expected to enroll
2,500 skilled workers, ready when the
time comes, to work in Uncle Sam's
shipyards.
How to Win War Early.
Vice chairman Coupland, pointing
out that Nebraska enjoys the dis
tinction of furnishing the first vol
unteer, is confident the Cornhuskers
will "go over the top" in character
istic stvle and more than the quota
of 2.5(H) will be enrolled!
"If you would win the war early," de
clares Charles Piez, general manager
of the Emergency Fleet corporation,
in a telegram to vice chairman Coup
land today, "the work of enrolling
250,000 skilled workmen for the
United States shipyard volunteers is
of paramount importance. On earnest
labor depends the early construction
of our merchant fleet.
"Within 60 days three huge govern
ment yards will be complete and SQon
thereafter more than 60,000 workmen
will be required to furnish for them
the three-eight hours shifts necessary
if these yards are to turn o,ut ships
according to schedule.
Need to Speed Up.
"The shipping board how has 716
shipways, of which 302'are for wooden
ships and 414 are for steel construc
tion. The yards in i which they are
established are working only one
eight-hour shift per day, six days a
week. This is monstrous. If we are
to keep ahead of the submarine we
must run three shifts per Hlay, 52
weeks in the year.
"Our program calls for the con
struction in 1918 of eight times the
tonnage delivered in 1916 at a cost of
more than $1,000,000, The shipping
board has the necessary yards, ma
terials and money. All that is lack
ing is a spirit in the nation that will
send a 150,000 America mechanics into
the yards to give their best and most
efficient work."
Mr. Coupland points out that en
rollment does not mean immediate
service. The reserve is to be called
when the ship yards are ready for
workers.
The woman's committee of the state
council is also co-operating in the
drive for ship workers. . Miss Sarka
Hrbkova, the chairman, is sending out
letters to all of the women's organi
zations of the state and to all county
chairmen, pointing out the vital im
portance of this campaign.
