NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Dec. 3-The New York
Stock Exchange is considering the adop-
ton of measures requiring corporation
whose stock is listed with exchange to
make immediate announcement OF the
declaration of their dividends, 1t was
made known, today. Decision to take
result of the delayed announcement OF
a dividend recently by corporation,
whose stock in the meantime dropped
over 10 points because of the liquldalon
of stockholders who believed no dividend
had been declared.
New York, Dec. S.-In the last hour
of todays stock market, trading be-
came animated prices moved up Vtgor-
ously. Prior to that time the market
was virtually on a dead level with busi-
ness cut down to low point The UNI
dertone was firm throughout. Final quo
showed gains of more than two points in
some instances. Short covering appar-
emily was the main factor in the rise
In the events OF the day, that bore
upon affairs of Wall Street the stock
market took little interest. The market
has been giving no heed recently TO the
steady outpouring of unfavorable re,
ports concerning industrial and nnanclal
conditions, probably because their influ-
ence had been discounted in the previous
decline. Today, traders learned OF fur
Their reductions in working FORCES oy
railroads and industrial corporations
Some of the Southern roads made good
reports for October. but the other state
ments received showed shrinkage in
earnings. Statistics of pig iron produc-
ton disclosed a decline from a daily
average of So 1913 tons in october to a 453
in November. Sentiment abroad was de-
pressed by the French ministerial crisis,
which made more uncertain the pros
poets for the French government loan,
to the outcome of which great import
ance is attached in indicating the general
European financial outlook.
The stock markets advance in the face
of these influences apparently was in re-
Spouse to technical conditions. The rise
of yesterday indicated the oversold con-
dition of the market, and the firm tone,
today. despite the extreme dullness of
the greater part of the session, led to a
rush for stocks by the bears in the last
hour. Bonds did not share in the i'm
provement in stocks. A number of weak

FOOTBALL NOTES.

Every football critic the country over
has picked his All-America football
team. Now let Water Camp do It,
West Point men mean to give credit
where it is due Lieut. Charles D. DAILY
was the real man behind the Cadet
eleven Fielding Yost would probably
be the last man to claim any share in
Days success.
All kinds Of reports are coming from
the South as to the wonderful ability of
Captain Costello of the Georgetown Uni
versity team. According to Coach Kers-
burg, who only just returned from the
Holy Georgetown game, Costello
is one of the sensations of the college
gridiron, this season.
There has been much speculation
whether the Harvard eleven could have
scored a touchdown on Yale, and, in
some quarters. no little disappointment
that the attempt was not made on some
one of the several occasions when the
team was within striking distance of the
Yale goal line. AS a matter of fact this
question was raised on the field of play,
when Harvard had rushed the ball to
Yale's 11-yard line in the fourth period
and the score stood II to 5, Up to this
point, it is said, Malcolm Logan had run
the game alone as field general. Then
he consulted Capt. Storer and in effect
asked: Shall we try to make a touch
down or have Brickley kick a goal?'
Let Charley do it," was Storer's prompt
reply. To make sure of the game was
the Harvard captains set purpose and
he made his decision in spite of the fact
that he and his team believed they could
score a touchdown II they had to.

BASEBALL NO TIES.

Merely to prove how unsafe public
personage's reputation is these days,
the new Reds Sox head is accused of
being a reckless checker fiend.
All good fans rejoice that "Honus'
Wagner's record for successive years
as a 300 batsman is still unbroken.
'Honus" is officially just 300 for 1913,
and il makes his 18th straight year in
the honor list. His general average for
all these years is 81. Poor old Hon
us!" Hes all in, indeed. And there's
the New York Giants, champions Of
TIE National League; their 300 hitters
are mighty scarce among the regulars.
Grover Hartley, Chief Meyers, Otie
Crandall and Claude Cooper got into
the Est, but the chief" is the only one
to be accepted seriously, as the others
averaged about only one time at bat
per game played and did not play in
MANY games.

Want All the News.

Resolved, That the newspapers
should print all the news, regardless
of it's nature"
This was the resolution adopted by
Post Parliament. woman's club, after
debate recently at the Waldorf-Asto-
ria, but that resolution did not prevent
the doorkeeper from sending away re-
porters who came to get the news of
the meeting.
1t was learned, however that the dis
cussion of yellow journalism" hinged
on the question of whether the women
should set the seal of their approval
on the news of sensational murder and
divorce cases,

what is evil in the papers," said one
woman. "A child's mind is naturally
pure and enjoys only pure things

REFINING SUGAR.
Process by Which the Best White
Products Are Obtained.

Process by Which the Best White
Products Are Obtained.
The method used by the best sugar
ref1neries is substantially rs follows:
The raw sugar Is dissolved in large
cisterns Oh The ground floor, enough
hot water being added to produce
specific gravity Of 1.25. The solution
is then drawn through a connecting
pipe having a coarse wire strainer into
large pumps. by which it Is pumped
into the highest story of the building.
usually the seventh or eighth. 1t there
passes into vessels heated by steam
coils to a temperature Of about 21O F.
Milk Of lime is added to the solution In
these pans for the purpose of neutral
ixing any acid which it may contain.
From these pans the liquid passes
down to the next floor, where it is a.
tered through series of bags, each
made Of two thicknesses of cloth, an
outer one Of coarse and an inner one
Of fine cotton. The bags are inclosed
in boxes to prevent cooling. After
leaving these the sirup is run through
filters Of boneblack. which absorbs all
the coloring matter left in it. After
leaving these 1t is pumped into vacuum
pans-large vessels heated by steam
and exhausted by air pumps. The
pressure being thus reduced, the liquid
Is boiled at lower and lower tempera-
ture until, at 40 degrees, evaporation
is complete and the sirup rapidly crys-
tallizes into sugar.
This is the process by which the
best white sugar Is made, while poor
er qualities are prepared by a method
less complete.-St. Louis Republic.

She thought the check was destruct-

He kissed away her tears, explained
how he would give her another check
in place of the one she had burned
and gave her another lesson on the
subject She was sure she understood
him perfectly. The lessons were con-
tinued for many months, and Mr. Read
became convinced that his wife had
learned all about banking. At any
rate, she made deposits and drew
checks as well as anybody.
Then one day when Mr.. Read went
into the bank he was called in to the
Office Of the cashier, who gave an
"ahem'' and said:
"Your wife, who has an account with
us, needs some explanation Of banking
methods
"What'S. she been doing?"
"Notnlng of any importance; nothing

overdrawn, and she sent us her check

much is it?''

amount and when he went home in the
