Washington May Take Over
; Control of Freight Traffic
' Congsstion Threatens
Close of Many Industries.
. Washington, May 17. The na
tion'a railroads, swapped with busi
ness, and not yet on their feet after
the long period of federal control,
turned hopefully to the government
today for relief.
With reports from industrial cen
ters showing several hundred thou
sand cars held up because of insuf
ficient equipment and labor, the in
terstate commerce commission was
expected to heed the appeal of the
carriers and take charge of the situa
tion. Railroad officicls said there was
slight hope of early improvement.
The great need is to clear the tracks
of non-essentials and open the way
for-the necessities of life.
So great is the traffic congestion,
recording to reports, that there is

Scarcity Will Halt Production
This Year, Illinois Agri
cultural Director Declares.

Springfield, III., May 17. The
American people will pay high prices
for food for some time, in the judg
ment of Charles Adkins, state direc
tor of agriculture.
In a statement Adkins declared
that scarcity of foodstuffs this year
will halt a reduction in prices. He
says no country in the world will
harvest, a normal wheat crop and
that the old crop of wheat will be
exhausted when the new crop comes
it). Predicting that bread tickets may
he necessary in the United States,
Adkins says bread will be no cheap
er in the near future.
"Some politicians tell the people
that prices for all commodities are
fixed by corrupt combines of specu
lators and if they get in power they
will reduce the cost of living," the
statement says. "Our great con
suming masses should be advised,
instead of being harangued by some
demagogue into the belief that by
waving some magic 'economic wand
'vV he can reduce the cost of living.

Chicago Trlbane -Omaha Bee I .eased Wire.
; New York, May 17. Processes
made familiar by repetition during
the last three weeks were seen again
at work today in the security mar
kets. Professional traders utilized
unfavorable factors in credit and
transportation to assist in the de
pression of industrial-, stocks one to
fuor points during the morning, with
a moderate recovery before the
close as short contracts were cover
ed. Liberty bonds and Victory notes
moved lower, some of the 4 Ms and
4-3-4s per cent notes reaching new
low figures. In these -issues there
appeared .the same influences that
marked initial stages of the down
ward 'movement early in April,
which is the ned of large and small
corporations for cash at a time when
bank loans arc hard to get, at least
hard to expand. The late recovery
of stocks was lacking in force, due
to the reluctance of buvers on mar
gin to accumulate holdings and also
to the confidence many speculators
on the short side in the soundness of
their position. Net fractional de
clines were in; the majority, with
numerous losses of a point or more.
Some Features Improve, v .
'De&Dito the continued reaction tf stocks.
the point could be raised whether soma
of the factors which assisted tha decline
last week and the week before that were
not showing Improving features. In the
matter of railroad transportation, news
mat tne interstate commerce commission
wss acaulrlnr information' antecendent to
making use of emergency measures pro
vided under the transports lion act was
something to lighten anxiety lest the traf
fic coiiKcatlon of the east and middle-
west - cause widespread business losses.
I nd?r the new railroad law, the commis
sion may discriminate between classes of
freight in expediting shipments, may su
spend regulations iu respect to car ser
vice and can tnln unto Itself the au
thority to route freight over such lines as
It decides boat to facilitate speed in de
liveries. Before the middle of the week
It is exr-ected the commission's orders will
go forth and it Is certain that railroad
mannqrcr.'ients will co-operate to the fullest
in a sreut effort to break the traffic
,1am. Furthermore, the recommendation In
behalf railway executives before the rail
way labor board at Chicago today that
wages be increased where conditions justi
fy -Immediate action, forecast a possible
early end of controversies which have
played a prominent part in labor unrest.
Today's grain market showed through
rather substantial declines that receipts
at primary points were increasing and
mnrket gossip indicated an Impression
th.it a program of shifting box cars from
eastern roads to the grain belt was ex
pected to make distinct progress In the
near future. An early relief of railroad
freight difficulties and any result at all
in removing friction between railroad,
labor and the compa'nies would undoubted
ly ..have quicq results in relieving credit
tension at interior cities. Markets are
waiting for goods whose present owners
would he only too happy to deliver thm
and liquidate their loans with the pro
ceeds. Outlook No Better.
There Is nothing In sight, however,
which would permit prophecy that the
credit outlook is really growing better.
The detailed statement of the federal
reserve system last week that in two
leading eastern institutions the cash re
serve ratio declined and at that the lead
ing grain and live stock centers there
were also loan expansion which brought
(he same results. Call money worked
down from 8 to 6 per cent on the local
market today while time money rates
were as firm as ever.
A feature of the foreign exchanges was
the strength of French and Belgian rates,
French francs gaining nearly V4c each In
value in American currency. The stlmu-'
latins influence In these markets appar
ently was based upon dispatches saying
that 130.000,000.000 had been fixed upon
as a tentative figure for the full German
Irdemnity. Under terms which might
permit France and Belgium to discount
part of their claims and liquidate soma
of their loans to allied countries.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Rro Leased Wire.
Chicago, May 7. A belief that
the switchmen's strike would be set
tled, and that when the Interstate
Commerce commission pooled grain
cars that the movement to market
would increase materially made
weaker and lower markets. Scattered
buying due to wet weather resulted
in a moderate advance at the open
ing, but corn broke 4 l-2c on" July
with strong commission houses on
the selling side. The pit element be
came oversold on the break, and
with reinstating of lines by com
mission houses the close was on a
good rally with net losses rf 1
1 3-4c. Oats were 7-8c higher on
May and l-8S-8c lower, on the
deferred deliveries. Rye declined
l3-8c and barley Sc on May.
Rumors were In circulation that the
strike had been settlod nnd had consider
able! influence on sentiment ns did a
break of 57c in cash corn ant-143c In
ftals. Receipts were much larger than
of late, 150 cars corn and 87 cars oats.
Professionals (,ond .Hellers.
Some of the local professionals, who
have been doing llttlo of late, were good
sellers of corn early, the opening bulge
being due mainly to buying by the pit
eifment.
Sentiment -was much less bullish than
of late, but when commission house pres
sure ceased, offerings became very light.
Fair and warmer weather was predicted
for the grain belt. Crop reports were
much more favorable excent on wheat.
Plowing and planting of corn is expected
to progress rapidly with good weather
wttn an reports suggesting an increased
acreage.
Oats showed fair resistance to selling
pressure. Readjustment was underway be
tween the cash and the May, the former
declining wnno tne stay advanced. There
were sales of 6.000 bushels No. 3 white
from store to teams at $1.12 and 6,000
bushels at $1.13. Premiums were easier.
Shipping sales, 36.000 bushels.
Foreign Buyers Withdraw,
Rye was firm early but weakened later
with other grains and closed lower. No. i
on track Was c over May with sales at
$2.19 ti)2.20'i. Receipts. 6 cars.
Barley prices were unchanged to 2c
lower with an easy close. Hpot aales were

Both the British and French buyers
withdrew from the wheat market after
bidding unchanged prices early. Aside
from the sale of 20.000 bushels No. 2 hard
