Altogether Too Cool.

81 had fiattered myself for a long time
that / would be a cool hand in the
face of hanger" said the drummer, land
when a fire alarm was sounded in a hotel
one night I did not find myself a failure.
1 turned out of bed as quietly as you please,
got into my clothes without undue haste,
and looked out into the hall with contempt
for the guests who were falling over each
other and fainting away. My grip was open,
and / waited to replace everything and
lock it, and then / walked out to the near
est fre-escape and dropped my grip to the
ground.
1.-The fre-escape was simply a rope fas-
tened to a hook, and l was four stories up.
The hall was dark will smoke, and 1 could
but | pledge you my word that / wasn't a
bit ratified as l loosed the coil of rope and
backed out of the window.
Il was a bit chilly, perhaps, as I found
myself swinging fifty feet from the ground,
but I got down without further damage
than burning and tearing the skin off my
palms.
Il reached terra frma to feel myself a
hero, but the feeling didn't last over ten
minutes. Then the firemen got the best
of the flames, and as / entered the hotel
the night clerk said:
"tAh! you here? 1 didn't see you come
down.
az got out by the hall window I re-
piled.
You did? Why, man, the fire was way
back over the kitchen and there is a stair
way within ten feet of that window Why
didn't you take a whole week in which to
come down the regular way?'"

Metals.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The New York metal
markets were demoralized. Spot tin declined 1c
to 1Ac and closed weak. Local prices for copper
are nominally unchanged. but the market has
no snap. The chief disturbant element came
from London, owing to the heavy declines there
in prices for both tin and copper. The Glasgow
pig iron market was decidedly lower. These
declines and the resultant Generalization came
about through the failure OF William Sargent &
Co., the firm being long 1000 tons of copper and
also long of tin. The closing prices of tin in
London were &5 IS lower than they closed yes
terday. This closed spot at &101 5s and futures
at 9100 los. The New York market could not
stand up under the depression and demoraliza-
ton abroad, and prices broke 1c to 11kc a pound,
closing at 22.50c bid and 23c asked, but weak
and unsettled. Copper was nominally unchanged
here at be for lake, 127sc for electrotype and
12zc for casting. At London there was a nerv-
Gus and lower market, although toward the close
prices rallied a little, but the net loss was It's Sd
for spot and los for futures, closing respectively
at 44S 12s Cd and $40. Lead was quiet but un-
changed here at 4c. London lead closed at SOB
9s. a decline of Is Sd. Spelter closed weak here,
but unchanged, at 4.45c. and London closed un-
changed at eli. Pig iron warrants were Is Sd
lower at Glasgow, closing at ASS Sd, but Mid
dlesboro was unchanged at AIS Cd. Here the

PRIVATE WIRE ADvICES.
Heavy Trading in Copper, with Buy
Ing I'm Good Volume.
Meyer & Kiser's telegram

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The announcement
of the dividend Of l per cent. on Amalga-
mated Copper resulted in very heavy trad
ing during the first hour in that stock, the
buying being considered a good deal better
than the selling. 1t was curious. however,
considering the enormous volume Of buy
ing orders, that the stock did not enjoy a
greater advance. The selling seemed to be
in small lots to a great number of brokers',
and created the impression that liquidation
was in progress from some important
source, the identity of which 1t was i'm
possible to discover. During the afternoon
the stock became decidedly dull and inter-
earlier part of the session the market was
overshadowed by the activity in Copper,
but later on considerable manipulation ap-
peared in the general market, which ap-
parently had for its object the advance
ment of prices. st. Paul had a sharp adj
vance on rumors that fresh rights were TO
be offered to the stockholders. There was
good buying of Union Pacific, which forced
considerable covering of shorts. On the
other hand, Sugar was decidedly heavy,
owing to the indications that a sugar war
was in progress. In spite Of the clever
manipulation which advanced prices there
was very little, if any, decrease in COM
mission business. Brokers are not encour-
aging their customers to trade, owing to
fears that considerably higher rates for
money will prevail between now and the
end of the year. The money market opened
around the same rates as yesterday, but
towards the lunch hour as high as s per
cent. was paid, and at no time was the sup
ply of money very large. During the last
hour some borrowers who had been hold
ing over in the hope of securing lower
rates became urgent in their demands,
with the result that money quickly ran UP
to 10 per cent.

Better HIarISet Expected.

rGranger Farwell & Co.'s Telegram.l
NEW YORK, Dec. @.-After the first
hour Amalgamated Copper went to the
extreme rear and sat down. 1T cut no fig
ure after that, and it is probable the gen.
eral market will cut loose from it for a
time, unless exceptional conditions should
prevail in it. When rates went to s per
cent. for the first time, a break in the
market resulted, which was in good part
recovered. The market is professional,
but sentiment is for better prices, not
withstanding that fairly high money rates
are expected between now and New Years.
The situation in Union Pacific seems to be
that there is open selling on bulges by in
siders, but as the market fairly holds it's
own it is surmised that orders are in the
market on the other side at any decline
from the same people. 1t is said that de-
velopments are forthcoming which will put
Union Pacific up 10 points, but this is an
open tip and is the ordinary room talk.
A fairly firm market is desired by insiders
with enough advance to make it attractive.

FIRMER TONE in GRAINS
LACK OF MOVEMENT y DAMAGE
BY COLD HELPS WHEAT.
Corn and Oats Follow the Leader in n
Small Way-Provisions Show
Moderate al

CHICAGO, Dec. W.-Firmness of foreign
markets, dropping off in domestic receipts,
scarcity Of red winter wheat and the gen.
eraI effect Of the extreme cold weather
made grain traders forget all about the
holiday depression to-day and May wheat
closed sc higher, corn 1kc up and oats ia
&c higher. Provisions closed unchanged TO
121kQ15c higher.
Conditions in wheat were bullish all
around at the opening. Trade was inclined
to continue in its dull rut, but with such
arguments for better prices traders who did
not wish to get into deals had to bid up for
everything they bought. Cables were firm.
London reported no cargoes arriving or
waiting off the coast and local houses with
cable connections claimed better accept
ances by the continent. Receipts were ex-
a%speratingly small and the cold weather
promised still smaller for tomorrow. In the
West and Southwest several drops in tenn
p~erature were recorded, in some places
snow was falling and in others the Their
mometer registered below zero, with no
protection by snow. Commission houses be-
gan TO buy on these factors and prices
steadily advanced. May opened HG%c up,
at 79HsQT9Ac, and closed strong, &c up, at
SOAc. Local receipts were thirty-seven
cars, none OF contract grade. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported $50 cars, a total of S93
cars, against S4 last week and 511 last year.
Argentina shipments for the week were
10000 blu, against 1921 900 bu last week. Pri-
mary receipts were $4,000 bu. compared
with 6o2.OO bu a year ago. Seaboard clear
ances were 617, 900 blu.
Corn had a narrow and nervous market,
with a small trade. Light receipts and the
wheat irmness lent a better character to
this market, but on the whole business was
Insignificant and followed the rut Of the
last few days. The scarcity of offerings
both here and at Kansas City, however,
kept traders awake to opportunities and
lowering about the pit to get in on any de-
cided action. May opened well up on better
cables and advanced by narrow margins to
a firm close, re up, at $3.50. Receipts were
12 cars.
Oats followed after corn and wheat. The
trade was small but the strength in the
other pits offset the slowness of the cash
situation and brought slightly better prices.
May was firm at the opening and closed
with a good tone, hd4c up, at 447sG45c.
Receipts were eighty-nine cars.
Provisions were firm, considering the
weakness of the hog market. Early prices
were of, but a splurge came toward the
close, in sympathy with grains. May pork
closed 1212d15c up, at SIC. 721b: lard I'M
changed. at $9.721s, and ribs 5Q7kc higher,
at $S.571R.
receipts for to-morrow-Wheat,

General, what was the most foolhardy
thing you ever saw on the field of battle? '
81 didn't see it on the field Of battle"
replied General Wheeler. Il saw it yes
terday, when a young woman tried to en-
ter a revolving storm door leading a dog
by a very long string. She passed through
in safety, but not so the dog. The rushing
public came along, and the dog was
ground both ways and chopped up as
though he were in a sausage machine
Each time he escaped his mistress tugged
madly on the string and pulled him into
it again. She got him through at last, be-
ing a very determined girl. The janitor of
the building wrapped him up in a news
paper for her, so that she could carry him
home. The way she chung to that string
was the most foolhardy thing 1 ever saw
