MARKET RESPONDED
 ID BETTER NEWS

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-WalI street heard more good news today than for several weeks and the stock mar tet responded with generous gains Union Pacific vas raised 3 points aboye Saturdays close and United States Steel. and several others, two or more. It was assumed that the market at the outset would reflecl the unexpectedly favorable bank statement for the last week, and large gains in unified orders were reported by United States Steel, but the open. lng gains were small and were not long maintained. Before noon, how changed and the remainder of the session prices were on higher plane.
 An added factor was the announce ment of an increase in the price of copper, sales for which were quoted at l315, highest in the new movement Df still greater importance was the announcement that United States Steel mad raised prices of steel wire and nails. The strength of Union Pacific may be traced, in a great part, 10 the action of the commerce court making permanent the restraining or der against putting in effec. the re- duced rates in the intermountain ter ritory.
 Call loans marked 215 but ruling rate was 4il. Canada Pacific rose B near the close on the announce ment of an issue of $1S.OOO,00 new stock Bonds closed firm. Total sales par value. S5,959, 900. Govern. Eent unchanged or call.

dren, or leave them at the homes Oi those children themselves. He de scribed the pleasure that he had him self galned by doing this, and he wants not only to have the children made happy by gifts, but to add to the general joy of Christmastide by making the donors happier for the day.
 There are some people. and good fellows, too, who have grown to look upon Christmas as a nuisance, a time when they make gifts as a sense of duty because they expect to re ceive them and are not del ghted at the formal gifts they will receive. To them A. Good Fellow recommends the giving to the poor children. The return will be a gratitude Cpplayed which WI, appeal to such giyers more than any gift which they have re ceived since they themselves were children. It will bring a return of of the feelings of the days that have passed away with happy childhood They will have the pleasantest recol lections of life restored to them for this occasion at least, and will surely realize that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

ADVANCE
 IN PRICE OF COPPER

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Frading in stocks fattened out today in way that was disappointing to bulls. who hoped that the market would become more active after yesterdays up- turn. The market was enlivened at the opening by a vigorous baying movement which levated prices gen erally. But it was only a flash in the pan The largest advances were made by the industrials. such as American Locomotive. and General Electric. A noticeable feature was the market seldom had so strong an undertone in spite of the fact that the demand had fallen on rapidly.
 Professionals made little effort to extend the rise and many ayailed themselves of the early upturn to take profits News of the kind that in- fiuences prices was as scarce today as it was plentiful yesterday, and it was pointed out that most of the de- velopments yesterday had been ex- pected, and to some extent anticipated Tn price movements.
 Another in the advance price of copper metal reached, some sales go ing at 13 3-4. Copper prices contin- ued to rise later in the day Copper stocks were less active, with Amer jean Shelter the best gainer

STOCKMEh FAVOR
 TARIFF ON BEEF
Consumers They Say Would Derive No Benefit from
 Its Removal

DENVER, Dec. 12.-The congress sional investigation into every phase of the live stock and packing indus tries was the chief recommendation of President M Mackenzie of the American National Livestock Asso- ciation. at the annual meeting here today
 The margin between the price re- eeived by the producer for his beef, said Mackenzie, and what the con sumer pays for his meat has wid- ened greatly in the past decade. The retailer probably is a victim of the high cost of living, but he is one of its largest beneficiaries. Local com mission men among the retailers in some cities, may have a bearing on the case"
 The speaker declared that in lower ing the tariff on imported beef would not mean the lowering of the price to the consumer. He advocated the retention of the tarin on livestock, and opposed any attempt to reduce or eliminate such train either by a reciprocity agreement or by direct legislation.
 The goyyrnment control of the national forests and grazing lands was approved by A. F. Potter, as sistant forester Of the federal bureau, who reviewed the benefits thereby ac- cruing to stockmen.
