Stock Trading Slumps NEW YORK, (P) Trading in stocks' today fell away sharply from recent active dealings, but the market1 strengthened after early despite firmer money tendencies. JSab's approximated 750,000 shares. Encouraged by yesterday's sharp reversal, shorts extended their contracts at the opening of today 's session. Lead ers of the steel, motor, oil', tobacco and textile groups gave way from fractions to one point. Gulf States Steel and Baldwin Locomotive were among 'tho-few exceptions, showing pool support.

Dealings in rails were light at gains and losses. Preliminary foreign exchange quotations eased from yesterday 's best quotations. Indications of pool activity in. selected stocks caused the general industrial list to work higher after noon. Sugars and oils were pushed up steadily and many less active shares advanced sensationally.

1 JOINT BILL (Continued on Page Five) tons. The larger employment, by two una a half times, was in non-dutiable shipments. No story of national development is more fascinating or so full of romance as that of developing capacity for tin1 exchanges of commerce. Expanding civilization may be traced over the ave nues of exchanging cargoes. No mat ter how materialistic it may sound, na Hons have developed for themselves and have influenced the world almost pre cisely as they have promoted their commerce.

We need not reier to xno armed conflicts which have been incident thereljo. When commerce has been destroyed fading glories have pi tended'. It will avail nothing to attempt ever the briefest resume of our own efforts to re-establish that American importance in commerce carrying on the high seas which was recorded in the earlier days of the republic. The aspiration is nation-wide. The conflict between two schools of political thought heretofore has defeated all efforts to employ the government aid which other nations found advantageous, while we hold aloof, and the terms "subsidy" and "subvening" were made more or less hateful to- the American public.

But the nation-wide desireto restore our merchant marine has outlived all defeats and every costly failure. BILLIONS SPENT, IN WAE'S NECESSITY. A peop'e indifferent to the vital necessity of a merchant marine to the national defense ungrudgingly expended at five times the cost of normal construction and appropriated billions where millions had been denied before. We acquired vast tonnage. Some of it much of it is unsuited to the peace service of expanded commerce.

Some of it much of it may be charged to the errors and extravagances of war-time anxiety and haste. -The war pro gram arid that completion of contracts which followed because such a course seemed best to us then charged with responsibility gave us something 1 more than 12,000,000 gross tonnage, not counting the folly of the-wood construction at total outlay of approximately three and one-half billions of dollars. In spite of all the later losses in op however, it is quite beyond question' that our abundance of Amer if an tonnage was mainly responsibl for our ability to share in the good fortunes of world trade during the two years immediately following the wn: In all probability the losses we have sustained in our. shipping activities were fully compensated to the American people in the saving of ocean freights in that period. Out, of the story of the making of grea't' merchant marines and out of our own experience we ought to find the practical solution.

Happily we are less provincial than we once were. Nobod' pretends any longer that shipping is a matter of concern only in the ports involved. Commerce on the seas is quite as vital to the great interior as it is to our coast territory, east south or west Shipping is no more a sectional interest than is agriculture or manufacturing. No one of them can be prosperous alone. SPECIAT INTERESTS NOT FURTHERED.

What, then, is our problem! I brin to you thy suggestions which have re-' suited from a comprehensive study, which are recommended to me by every member of the United States shipping board. It is, a program of direct and indirect to shipping to be conducted by private enterprise. It is proposed to apply generally the benefits which it was designed to derive fro-n discriminating duties to all ships engaged in foreign commerce, with such limitation on remuneration as will chal lenge every charge of promoting special interests at public cost. In lieu of discriminating duties on imports brought to us in American bottoms, it if, proposed to take 10 per cent, of all duties collected on imports brought to us in American or foreign bottoms, and create therefrom a merchant marine fund. To this fund shall be added the toniinge charges, taxes and fees imposed on vessels entering theSe ports of continental United States, also such sums as are payable to American vessels by the postoffice department -for the transportation by water of foreign mails, parcel posts excepted.

i': Out of this fund shall be paid the direct aid in the development and maintenance' of an American merchant marine; The-compensation shall be based on one-half of one per cent for each gross ton of any vessel, regardless of speed, for each 100 miles travelled. When the sped is 13 knots or more, but less than 14, two-tenths of a cent on each gross ton' shall be added; for 14 knots, three-tenths of a cent; for 15 knots, foar tenths of a for 16 knots, five-tenths; for 17 knots, seven tenths; f-r 18 knots, nine-tenths; for 19 knots, eleven tenths; for 20 knots, thirteen -tet'ths shall be added to the basic raW For 23 knots the maximum Through the Optophone, invented' by Dr. E. E. Fournier d'Albe, of London.

Hitherto blind persons had i been able to read only through the rais-j is reached at cents for each gross ton per ICO miles travelled. UNITED STATES MAILS GO FREE OF COST. I will not attempt the details of re quirements or limitations, save to say that all vessels thus remunerated shad carry the United States mails, exeept parcel post, free of cost, and that all such remuneration most end whenever the owner of any vessel or vessels'shall have derived a. net operating income in excess of 10 per cent per annum upon his actual investment and thereafter the owner shall pay 50 per cent of such excess earning to the merchant marine fund, until the full amount of subsidy previously received is returned to its source, iu other words, it is proposed to encourage the shipping in foreign trade until, the enterprise may earn 10 per cent o.i actual investment, whereupon thi direct aid extended is to ceiase and the amount advanced is to be returned out of a division with the government of profits in excess of that 10 per The provision makes impossible the enrichment of any special interest, at public expense, puts an end to the government assumption of all losses and leaves to private enterprise the prospective profits' of successful management.

The cost of such a program probably wi'J reach fifteen millions the first and estimated on the largest possibilities, of the present fleet with larger reimbursement to high speed, vessels, and the enlargement of the merchant to a capacity comparable with our commerce the total outlay may reach the limits of thirty millions, but it is confideut'y believed that the scale- may due time there after be turned, until the larger reimbursements are restored to the treas ury. EVEN FAILURE IS PREFERABLE. Even if we accept the extreme possibility that we shall expend the maximum and no return will ever be made, which is to confess our inability to establish an American merchant marine it would be vastly preferable to the present unfortunate situation, with our dependence on our competitors for the delivery of our products. Moreover, the cost cr. the entire year would be little more tlijan the deficit heretofore encountered in two months during the experiment of the government sponsor ing the linei.

and guaranteeing the. coat of their operation. flaking of a successful merchant ma rine, which must face the stiffest possible competition by the fleets of the maritime nations, requires something more, than the direct aid to which I have alluded. The direct aid proposed, even though it ultimately run to thirty million dollars annually is insufficient ialone to otfset the advantages of competing fleets. There are more- than wago costs, and working conditions and the higher costs of rationing, which no considerable American sentiment will consent to have lowered to competing standard.

Diplomatic Boi. Bob and were out sailing when the boat was capsized by a sudden shifting breeze, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Journal. While we were in the, water, clinging to the boat. Bob proposed. I remember I said "yes" Sot fear he would let me drown if I refused.

As soon as he had his answer he said "The water is shallow here, so let's not bother righting the boat. We can just walk to shore." i i TODAY'S MARKETS MARKET UNCERTAIN WITH TENDENCY STILL UPWARD Wheat Continues Center of Interest Price Fluctuates But Close Registers Gains CHICAGO, () Wheat had an upward slant in price today during the early trading, influenced chiefly by higher, quotations at Liverpool, Offerings become more: liberal in extent as the market advanced. At first they were readily taken, but they continued in volume and soon caused a reaction. The opening, which varied from unchanged figures to 3-8c higher, with May $1.47 1-4 to $1.47 3-4 and July $1.25 to $1.25 1-2, was followed by moderate gains all around, though for the most part of a transient character. Snow storms in the southwest led to declines later, especially in the price of the 'July delivery, but were partly offset by predictions of enlarged, demand from domestic millers, together with signs of some export business The cIorb was unsettled at 1 3-8c net lower to 5-8e advance, May $1.47 3-8 to $1.47 5-8 aiid July $1.24 1-8 to $1.24 1-4.

Corn and oats were govcrne'd in the main by the action of wheat. After opening l-8c off to l-4c higher, May 67 7-8 to 68i-8c, the corn market scored a general advance and then underwent something of a setback. In the later dealings smallncss of receipts helped to uphold prices. The close was steady at the same as yesterday's finish to l-'4c with May 67 7-8 to 68c, Oats started 1 -8c" off to a like advance, May 42 3-4 to. 43 l-8c, and later considerably higher.

Upturns in the value of hogs gave something of a lift to provisions. Cash Grain and Provisions CHICAGO, Wheat No sales. Corn No. 2 mixed 62 to 62 l-2c; No. 2 yellow 62 to 63 l-2c.
