Taken all in all the past legis-
lature was above the ordinary.
The legislation enacted was both
constructive and progressive.
And for this the lawmakers are
entitled to great credit, but at
the same time the people should
not forget that Governor Curry
also played a most important
part in the deliberations of both
bodies and that his suggestions
and counsel were always taken
into consideration on important
measures proposed. One of the
most important laws enacted,
that creating a territorial cor
servation commission, was pro-
posed and urged by New Mexi-
co.'s Woodworking and conscien-
tious executive. Among other
measures that should be men,
toned as important are also the
good roads commission bill, the
Roberts election law, putting
the election system heretofore
complicated and antiquated, on
an up-to-date basis; a new terri
torial land law; new educational
measuresi new insurance code;
new publication law; new game
and fish law; law for the coop.

holds that the laws passed by
the territorial legislative assem-
blies are valid unless repealed by
special act Of Congress, as has
been done only in two instances

laws favoring corporations were
repealed in that manner, one
such instance occurring at the
last session of Congress.

CHICAGO. Dec 1s.-Wheat prices scared TO
new heights today owing to sensationally bulllsh

previous high records. The report from Argen-
tina which started wheat prices here on their
long upward stride official dispatch
claiming that the closing price at Buenos Ayres
yesterday showed net gain of lis "a 11l4c com
pared with the final figures of yesterday. The
Inference generally derived from this unusual
advance that the wheat crop of the South
American country had been injured by unfavor-
able weather to greater extent than at hrst
realized. The market opened rather weak. De
cember being at S1.16%. Within the first 10
minutes. however. December shot mp to $l.11&.
The more distant deliveries in the meantime

STOCK MARKET
UNINTERESTING

was affected by the approach of the hol-
days and was dull and uninteresting. Con-
tinued activity in Atlantic Coast Line
louisville and Nashville and the Atlantic
Coast Line collateral bonds secured oy
Louisville and Nashville stock kept alive
conjecture over possible plans of financial
readjustments
The merger of a number Of the so called
Guggenheim copper mining properties
prompted some realizing in the group

The bearing of this project on the larger
combination, ofecopper producers, which was
definitely reported at one time to be IN
process of formation, was left 10 specula-
tive surmise. without stimulating any
great activity.
Announcements of a settlement effected
by the Pennsylvania with its engineers
was helpful influence. in view of the i'm
portance attached 70 demands by railroad
employees known to be formulating.
Attention was directed again to the
Rock Island sale of the Frisco by the re-
port that the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
oifo railroad had sold treasury bonds to
the railway to the amount of 81, 500, 600, the
proceeds to go for the redemption Of the
oompany's per cent collateral bonds to
realize St. Louis and San Francisco stock.
The influence would follow that the price
realized for the stock had come that far
shart of providing the amount resuired for
the redemption of the bonds
The fact was taken in connection with
the terms of the original purchase by the
Rock Island of the Frisco stock, which, be-
sides the 500 per share CT the bonds now
being redeemed at SIo21a, included $50 per
share in Rock Island common stock. Rock
Island common and preferred nevertheless
rallied briskly from the declines of the
last few days.
s downward movement in exchange rates
was believed to make gold exports to Lon
don next wednesday less likely; feeling
was more confident. consequently, over the
year end money market The later market
showed some strength as result of this
feeling. but the closing tone was irregular.
The heavy loan expansion reported by the
banks proved something of a surprise and
may be traceable TO taking over loans from
trust companies, as indicated by their loan
contraction and from foreign lenders, who
have been paid off through the medium Of
the foreign exchange market during. the
week The deposit increase was not fully
commensurate with the combined loan and
cash increase, although there was another

deposits.
