FINANCIAL New Tork, Dec. 12. Reason for th early hesitation and later heaviness of to day's stock market ware provided by Di rector General McAdoo's reoommendatlon to congress, respecting existing rallrOad conditions and the partial deadlock created by the war boards refusal to determining new prices of output for steel and Iron. Despite Mr. McAdoo's qualified disavow al of government ownership, his sugges tion that federal control of th railroads be extended to five years, cam as an un pleasant surprise to financial and bank ing Interests. Ralls of high and low degree fell one t two and one-half points, thelt reversal soon spreading to numerous other Issues dependent upon the prosperity of trans portations. ' ' It was generally conceded that the re action might have attained wider pro portions, but for the figures Issued by the Department of Agriculture, which esti mated the value of the country's "Liberty crop" at soma $600,000,000 In excess of any previous record. Steels and the general run of equip ments, also coppers. In which th earty relinquishment of government restrictions is foreshadowed, reacted one to two points, U. S. Steel evincing marked heavi ness at the close. Chicago Grain and Provision. Chicago, Dec. 12. Excited Jump ot nearly 7 cents a bushel In th corn mar ket today resulted from the government orop report that the United States yield of corn for 1918 had fallen short of even domestic needs. Oats finished c to l14e up. The outcome In provisions was unchanged to 26c lower. A general rush to buy corn began the moment the market opened. Before the tntlal stampede was at an end, the high, est prices yet for the crop were reached, and the May delivery, the most active on the list showed an overnight advance ot 6 He at $1.37. Profit taking by fortunate holders ld to setbacks form the top level, but on the downturns plentiful buying or ders were encountered, and for a while fluctuations continued unusually rapid and wide. All other Influences than the gov ernment crop figures were Ignored, and bearish suggestions that the abandonment of acreage had been over estimated were also brushed aside. During th last part of the day, the surprise and flurry brought about by the radical downward revision in the government final figures quieted down, but the greater part of the enhance ment ot values remained unimpaired. Oats sympathized only In a moderate fashion with the sensational rise of corn. The reason appeared to be the fact that the oats yield reported wa pne of the largest ever known. Falling off In domestic demand tended to weaken provisions. Packers were sell ers despite record-breaking shipment to the seaboard and notwithstanding; the strength of corn and hogs.

Mabel Walker, formerly in charge of the women's employment bureau, has been placed at the head of the soldiers' employment bureau conducted by the Chamber of Com merce, organized for the purpose of finding work for Omaha boys who entered the army and are now re turning. The, soldiers' employment bureau will maintain offices of the 17th floor of the Woodmen building and will furnish free service to the sol diers. According to Mrs. Walker, at this time there is no reason why any returned soldier who desires work should remain idle. She has several hundred positions to give out. The positions include about everything, from the most common class of day labor to high-salaried positions in banks, railroad offices, manufactur ing plants and business houses.

County Commissioner Towl in vited the city commissioners, Cham ber of Commerce, Real Estate ex change and the public to a big meet ing in the city council-chamber Fri day evening to see lantern slides of improvements being made in St. Louis, shown by Harold Bartholo mew, chief engineer of the St. Louis City Planning commission. Half an hour later City Health Commissioner Manning heard 'of the meeting. He called up Commis sioner Towl and pronounced two words: "Nothing doing." And all Towl's arguments could not move him. "It would be absurd for me to be asking all other meetings discontin ued and then allow one right here in the city hall," said Dr. Manning. And so there'll be no meeting. v The pool room proprietors of the city have agreed to a voluntary ban on their places of business. They will allow only four persons to each table two players and two specta torsi All others will be excluded, and the police have instructions to see that the voluntary order is obeyed. Dr. Manning will go to Lincoln next Tuesday for a conference, called by Dr. William F. Wild, state commissioner of health. Dr. Wild has asked the mayors of every city and town in the state to send repre sentatives. His letter says: "We cannot continue as we have been in combatting Spanish influenza. We must devise some better method, which shall be followed throughout the state. The situation is serious." The letter says there will be no "rag chewing," but a scientifip con sideration of the situation. AMUSEMENTS.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Afler recon. mending the adoption of a HO game schedule for next season, opening about May 1, the annual meeting of the American league was adjourned late tonight to meet in joint session with the National league in New York on January 16,. to consider problems confronting the resumption of base ball. A com mittee from the National association of minor leagues will be invited to attend the joint meeting. A move in the path of retrench ment was the decision to slash the , club player limit from 25 to 21 men, starting 15 days after the pen nant race has begun. But' in order to take care of the players in the military or naval service, special amendment was passed, so each club owner will be permitted to retain returned soldiers and sailors on his roster for 30 days. During thi period, these players will not be in cluded in the player limit. If at, the end of that time they are deemed of major league caliber they will au tomatically be regarded as regular! and other players must be dis missed to make room for them. . i The club owners voted to retain the National Base Ball commission as now constituted. A vote of con fidence was passed for August Herrmann, chairman of the com mission, whom the National league recently opposed for re-election.' " Charles A. Comiskey, president of the Chicago club, was re-elected vjee president of the league.
