MID-SPOT OF THE PLANET.
Cities of the Orient Which Have
Long Fought for the Honor.

OiticS VI Cnc OFlenC D1cn nave
Long Fought for the Honor.
For several centuries different cities
in the Orient have contested with each
other for the honor of being recognized
as the mId-spot of our planet. Quite re-
Gently a London geographer issued an
elaborate WORK, in which he tries to
prove the British metropolis to be the
center of the landed hemispheres. Jeru-
salem and Delphi, notwithstanding the
fact that neither of them is sit
uated on the equator, have for
ages been the two great rivals in this
mid-spOt discussion. William Simpson,
of the London Society for Exploring
Palestine, tells us that Herr Schick has
sent home drawings of the Jerusalem
center of the world. 1t exists. of course,
in the Greek Church of the Holy Sepul-
cher, not in the Latin church. The spot
is identified less by physical science
than by prophecy. 1t is written in the
psalms: God is my king of old, work
ing salvation in the midst of the earth"
This can only refer to the scenes of the
passion and of the holy sepulcher, and
The midst of the earth must, therefore,
he found where the holy sepulcber is
considered to be by the Greeks.
The belief that the center is there, Or
thereabnuts, is ancient, for it occurs in
a work by st. Ephrem, quoted by John
Gregory in reference to NOah's prayer.
Here ST. Ephrem says Adam was buried
lin the middle of the EARTH" Homer
calls CalypsO's island 1.-The navel of the
world, the center of all the seas" In
Eschylus a certain round stona in the
temple of Delphi is the ''navel'' or CEN
ter Of the earth, and here does Orestes
take refuge when pursued by the
Eumenides. Plnder has anticipated
Eschylus here, and after an
era PausaniuS dixie Herr Schick)
had the pleasure of seeing the only GEL
uine central hub at Delphi. at Is
made," he says. ''of white stone, smooth
and polished, and is the middle point of
the whole world" Delos. as well as
Delphia, claims to be one of the sacred
places perforated by tue worlds axle,
and probably other cities in all ages
have looked upon their sacred places as
deserving of the same distinction. There
can be no closer analogy, however, than
that which exists between the hall of
stone in the Church of the Holy Sepul-
cher at Jerusalem and the round white
stone at Delphi.

ment, and business in Wall street is,
therefore, brought to q Standstill, and in
most stocks is merely nominal, and will
In all probability remain so until after
the first of the year at least. Whether
there will be an improvement then is
still only q matter OF conjecture, for
while all indications point to a revival
OF interest i'll stocks at that time, this
expectation has so often been disap-
pointed in times gone by that the event
alone will tell the story. To-day, as
usual upon the day after Christmas, the
market was extremely dull, though its
record Of transactions fairly surpassed
those OF Wednesday. This was en-
tircly owing to the increased
interest in the industrials dis
played, and the bear attacks upon
Union Pacific and Atchlson, and In the
last named two stocks almost all of the
feature in the market was concentrated.
Considering the pressure by the bears
upon these two stocks and others the
general list displayed a fairly strong
undertOne. The bears have had points
out to sell Union Pacific for some time,
and to-day proceeded to make their
points, and while there was q suspicion
that some long stock was coming out
there was an order to buy about 5000
shares executed until after which time
there was very little progress made
in the downward direction. Later,
however, 1t was depressed to
4OM, a loss of 2 per cent since Wednes-
day evening. Atchison at the same
time was forced off by the anne tactics
over / per cent. The general list
opened at about Wednesdays figures,
and in Lackawanna the report showing
that the road had earned 9 per cent for
the year and the declaration Of the reg
ular dividend impaired some strength.
while Lead Trust resumed it's upward
movement on the prospect of a dividend.
and rose to Is. but aftel ward reacted.
The VanderbiltS were still strong, but
failed to make any material movement.
st. Paul and Rock Island we're rather
heavy throughout, but lost only slight
fractions with til eremainder of the list,
and late in the day there was a
covering movement on the part
OF a trading element, which had
the effect of causing partial
recovery of the early losses. The close
was dull but firm. though generally at
something under the process of
Wednesday. Atchison is down IL,

ment against Atchison stock, there was
dn attack upon the bonds of the COM
pany. and both issues were specially
active, the incomes furnishing 1928, 600
and the fours 1886, 600 out of a total days
business of only S749.O 0O. The move

rest of the market. and, while the At

from seabOard were light. The range
in May was from H%@97%c to 800
911sc. The higher figures were made
during the first hour of trading, the
fluctuations during the latter paIt of
the session being mainly between the
lowest point named and 973Sc. The
closing price wa 914M97asc. There
was some trading in July, and the ten
dency was toward increasing the dis
count between May and the month re-
ferred to, July selling from around CSC
early to G4c, which closely approaches
&c discount between May and the month
referred to, in place of 4c Wednesday.
+ The snow, which placed a damper on
the spirits of the hills in wheat when
) the market opened, was not re-
garded unfavorably by the corn crowd.
1t acted more in the capacity of n baking
d powder Oh the corn spectators after a
few minutes of preliminary sOgginess.
The opening price for May was from
5l19c to 513sc, and 1t sold down to 514c.
1t advanced alter the decline referred to
until, in the course of half all hours
trading, it had reached 5I5sM5lMc, and
it then began to retrace its steps, and
SOLD lower than before. The early i'll
fiuence of the expected poor grading
from the effects Of the snow was over
come by the desire Of the majority of
the Scalpers to take advantage of the
the bulge to sell OH. The local senti-
ment is bearish. and selling is the popu-
lar side as long as there is no appear
ance of any heavy operator gathering
together too many of the short con
tracts. Partridge sold a good deal and
Hutchinson bought a little in the early
break, but sold on the resulting adj
vance.
The closing phase of the trading was
a slight tendency toward recovering
some of the decline and from 5175c,
which was the lowest price for May,
there was a recovery to 514@513Sc.
which was the closing quotation.
Oats were quiet and steady, ranging
from 1890 to 1870 to 44c for May de-
livery. The near futures were only
nominal. Armour bought and Hutch
inson sold. but their deals were not large.
The smaller receipts of hogs than had
been generally looked for was OStensi-
bic cause for the better prices realized
for the product. May pork from Sill. 10
at the start advanced to sl1.l7h. de-
clined to sl0.92119S, and closed at Sl1.O219.
May lard opened at s6.42L, sold up to
$6.45. Off to S6.40. and closed at $6.42T.
The fluctuations in ribs covered a range
of &c in the January delivery, and sac
in May. The highest prices were made
at the start, and the closing quotations
were 2115c under those at the opening.

close ON Wednesday.

Wheat Is Somewhat Sluggish
and lower.

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-The wheat mar
ket to-day was lifeless and the trading
was almost entirely confined to the
operations of the local scalpers. Fluctu-
ations under the prevailing conditions
were narrow, with Il tendency toward a
lower level. The chief factor i'm favor
of lower prices was the snow which had

with heavy receipts In the Northwest.
There was no business from Eng
land, business on the exchanges
in that country having been adj
journed from Wednesday to Monday.
