cision to Remove All Restric
tions for Trading. Subject
Only Now to Minimum Prices.
New York.—The first full flay of open
trading In stocks was marked by the
substantial general advances which at
tained the highest level In the final
hour. The late advance followed the
announcement that from tomorrow that
oil shares are to be readmitted to the
list.
New York. An open market for all
Mocks < n the floor of the New York
Stork Exchange will he created tomor
row. That action wan decided upon this
afternoon. H whs voted to eliminate,
beginning tomorrow', the so-called clear
ing house list and to place the stocks
there in on the same haul* of trading as
the 182 issues already approved.
The solitary restriction placed upon
all stocks is lo he that their prices
shall not go below' the minimum already
established, 'the chief Issues thus placed
in the open market are United Ktates
btcel. Southern Pacific, Great North
ern. Canadian Pacific, New York Cen
tral and Anaconda Mining Issues—alf
known as international securities.
Formal decision to create an open
market, subject only to minimum prices
was made by the committee of five after
the exchange had been opened for trad
ing in stocks only seven business hours
since jt was closed on July 30th. last.
1 Miring the sessions of Saturday and
today the last vestige of apprehension
that foreign Investors would deluge the
local market with selling orders was
swept away. It was this feaV that had
prevented the committee from listing
the international issues in the approved
liwt for open trading made public last
Friday afternoon.
Todays action of the committee
means, it is believed, that tomorrow
the exchange will go hack to practically
the same footing It occupied before Eu
ropean war clouds woVe visible.
The minimum pries restriction is only
nominal; both Saturday and today near
ly aII issues dealt In rust* high above the
minimum.

VAST GROWTH M
P. B. BUSINESS
P. M. General Presents Report
and Recommendations Today.
Surplus of Over $3,000,000.
Washington, D. C. The postoffice ap-
I probation bill carrying approximately
j $225,009,000, virtually was completed and
iVeady for submission to the house today.
I The bill f contains a number of new
\ provisions Including the abolishment of
the office of assistant postmaster; re
grouping of all activities in first-class
offices so as to concentrate all super
isory authority In each office under a
ost master and superintendents of fi
nance and mail.
Enormous Growth.
Washington, D. C. Asserting that for
the first time since its organization by
Henjamln Franklin, the Post Offlct De
p rtmerit is on a self-sustaining basis.
Postmaster General BuVleson submitted
to President Wilson today his annual re
port. It records enormous growth In
the department’s business because of the
parcels post and postal savings bank di
visions and recommends a program of
postal legislation to Increase the scope
of th«* department's activities.
Mr. Burleson features his report with
«n estimate that a surplus of
the second of his administration, will he
shown for the fiscal year of 1914 when
nil chlnis and charges have been met.
On that showing he bases his declara
tion that the department "has been se
curely placed upon a self-sustaining
basis."
No Deficiency Ahead.
"It Is safe to say," the report add*,
"that unless unusual conditions should
arise, resulting in abnormal depression
of business, there is no danger of re
euiring deficiencies."
The legislative program recommended
is ns follows as to its most important
features:
Karly action toward government own
ership of telegraph and telephone lines
and immediate taking over of these sys
tems In Hawaii, Alaska and Porto Rice.
Substitution of contract "star route"
system for salaried rural carries service
to eliminate $40,090,000 annual loss on
rural delivery.
Of the parrel post during the last year
the report says:
"Rapid growth of the parcel post vast*
ly Increased postal business during the
year. The department’s field of service
lias expanded at a phenomenal rate; it
Is still expanding. Notwithstanding the
decreases of parcel-post rates authorised
January Ist. 1914, economies of admin
istration have kept expenses within the
revenues."
Railway Compensation.
Discussing the finest lon of railway
compensation, the report says It Is be
lieved tlm enactment of the house bill,
pending In the senate, which provides
for compensation on a space basis, "will
conclude a long and vexatious contro
versy over railroad mall rates and in
augurate a plan of adjustment which
will he entirely fair to the railroad com
panies and he most economical and ad
vantageous In the administration of the
postal service.’*

nual report, submitted today expresses
the conviction that had the owners of
the mine properties in the Calumet cop
lad- region and the Colorado Coal fields

is reason to believe that no strike would
have occurred."

"Whatever may have been the .re
sponsibility of the workmen for the
strike and its incidents," said
Wilson, "tlie local management cannot
he wholly acquitted; and upon the ele
mentary principle of agency, as sound in
morals as in law, ultimate responsibil
ity must rest upon the owners."

Is devoted to a review of the labor dis
putes t lie department has successfully
mediated during the last year and it de
fines at some length the principles
upon which tlie department acts in such
cases.

year's recommendation that congress
