The average ps Id for the period this
year was 2U7 against 13.16 lest year.
The month of December and the snlra.
for eesson to date show a alight los-i
over the same periods last year. Thi is
accounted for by ths light yield per

Hocky Mount was tho third market

(Special Leased Wire.)
Washington, Dee, 22. A majority ef
Bepublican as well as Democrats la
Congress believe that the foreign aitua
tion should be left entirely In the haads
of th President and that la why ao
enthusiasm bos been aroused ever reso
lutioas introduced asking for an expres
sion of approval for the sending of th
note of the 18th to the warring nation
of Europe. ,;Cegre haa shown no dis
position "to butt in" on foreign contro
versies since the big fight over the (lor
and McLeraore revolutions last session.
The Senate aad House will let the
President hare a free hand In hia at
'tempt to secure information from the
belligerent nations and find a common
ground upon wh'ch they may meet to
formulate plana for peace. Doth Douses
of Congress have discouraged any ac
tion at all upon propositions endorsing
the President "for bis rouTse. There is
a feeling at the Capitol that either the
Senate, or the House would be going
out of it way to pas upon the diplo
matic situation at all at this time.
Minority Leader Mann said on the
floor of the House today that h' hearti
ly approves tho aetian of the President
in sending the note to the belligerent
nations. lie practically spoke for a
very Urge majority of Congress.
Representative Woods, Republican, of
Indinna, off e red a resolution in the
House today asking for an investiga
tion "of the conflict ng Interpretations
placed upon the President' note to
belligerent power ,, by. the State, De
partment and fluctuations of markets
caused. -themby'V The resolution pro
vides "iluit a committee of five Rep
resentatives be appointed by 'he Speak
er to investigate and make report a to
whether or-not any one high in the
administrHtion of governmental affair
of tho I'nited Stati s or any relative of
anyone hfgh in authority in the ad
ministration of governmental affairs of
the United Plates, profited flnametally,
either directly or iadirecrty by the flue
luntion in the stock market ocenrrmgon
Thursday, December 21, 1916, following
the two contmd'.etory interpretations
given to the pnbiie from the Secretary
of State concerning the note of the
I'res dent to !he belligerent power."
It ia not likely that any consideration
will be given the Wood matter. Hi
effort to make pol'tieal capital out of
tie foreign situation will not receive
much attention.
Rrprevntative Warren Worth Bailey,
of Pennsylvania, introduced In the
House a resolution to endorse and ap
prove the action of the Prrsid-nt In
sending the recent note to the nations
nt war.
Tho resolution says in pirt thnt "in
taking this action, the I'residrnt baa
rend red an invaluable service to a
war-stricken world. In asking the
belligerent nations to set forth the eon
cession and assurances which they
derm necessary to the establishment of
a lasting peace, be has offered them an
opportunity which It is fervently hoped
they may not disregard. It would be a
reflection upon the nations at war to
doubt that they know the ends for
which thry are fighting or to assume
that they have any purpose which they
are unwilling to reveal."
Tho resolution also state that a
deftni'e statement by both aides will
clear the air and afford a basis for ne
gotiations and that nrgoti rions may
lend to an rgreement as neither side
would cons- nt to assume responsibility
for continuing "the unspeaka' 'e horrors
of the conflict if any reasonable term
can be secured."
The President is congratnlated by the
resolution on the etand he haa takes
and an enrneit w ah ia extended to him
"for the complete and speedy snceesa
of the great movement he haa had the
honor to inaugurate."
Thi resolution wa referred t the
