CHICAGO STOCK MART OPENS
Dealings for the First Day on the
Exchange Are Around 700 Shares
Prices Are Firm.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Opening of the
Chicago Stock Exchange yesterday
added strong evidence to the records
showing that the financial and bust
ness situation is now building up from
a sound foundation.
Instead Of liquidation the market in
securities, which is the first world
wide one to open since the exchanges
of the entire world were closed on
July 80, was rather tame affair.
Dealings for the day were around 700
shares. Prices generally were firm
and in many cases these quotations
disclosed large gains over the July
closing and their subsequent official
notifications
Advices from New York state that
the stock exchange there is quite GER
tain to reopen for limited business be-
for the end of the month
Houses in New York with German
connections freely admitted the posi-
bility of heavy selling orders, and in
timations along these lines were also
conveyed by bankers representing
French and Dutch interests.

BRITISH SHIPS ARE SUNK
Enqlish Vessel With Cargo Valued at
100000 Is Sent to Bottom
by Germans.

London, Nov. PA dispatch TO the
Times from Montevideo, Uruguay. says
the arrival of the German steamer
Sierra Cordoba there with the passen-
gers and crew of the British steamer
La Correntina and the crew of the
French bark Union has cleared up the
mystery surrounding the fate of the
Correntina.
The liner Correntina left Buenos
Aires for Liverpool early in October
with cargo Of meat valued at $1,000
600, and her nonarrival at the British
port had aroused fears as to her safe
ty. 1t appears from the story told by
her passengers that the Correntina
was overtaken 270 miles northeast of
Lobos island, on October 7, ry the
German converted cruiser KrOnprinz
Wilhelm, which. after taking off the
passengers and crew, sent the British
liner to the bottom.
The bark Union was picked up by
the Kronprinz Wilhelm on October 2S
and scuttled after her crew had been
taken off

to the sloping decks of the fast
breaking-up schooner, hang in the bal
ance.
A thick fog prevented relief ships
from aiding the Hanalei and when
darkness closed in and the rescue craft
sought safety in deep water, it was
realized that tho only possible hope
of saving the remaining 80 passen-
gers and &c officers and crew was to-
get line out from shore.
To make this attempt San Tran
cisco newspaper arranged to send
mortar gun and the crew of the Golden
Gate lifesaving station to the scene
of the wreck.
Motor Boat to Rescue.
A motor boat met the life-saver" at
Sausalito on the north shore of San
Francisco bay and began the long jour
ney around the heads to point oppo-
site the stricken schooner The life
savers reached the scene about mid
night.
Two of the Hanalei's boats, upside
down and the life raft, were washed
upon the shelving beach. The schooner
lay a few hundred yards off Shore
blanketed in the fog which led it upon
the reef, and which shut off sight and
sound alike. Just at dusk riff, In the
fog revealed a glimpse of the doomed
boat, pounding on the surf, which
breaks over the reef even in quiet
weather.
Hear Cries From Ship.
The wind brought indistinguisaable'
cries from the passengers and crew.
An instant later the fog blotted out
the picture.
1t was so, thick that persons live
feet apart could not distinguish each
others presence. and a little fleet OF
schooners and tugs which had been
trying through the afternoon to get in
touch with the Hanalei without them
selves piling up on the reef drew OF
as night came on.

Vera Cruz, Nov. 24.-Gen. Candida

words when, through his chief of po-
lice, Theodore Frezieres, he told the

crimes, such as sacking, would result
in the execution of the offending in

GOOD TIMES BELL
RUNG BY SCHNAB
Business Throughout the World is
Good-steeI Magnate Optimistic
Over the Outlook. ..

New York. Nov. 23.-Charles M.
Schwab. president of the Bethlehem
Steel company. returned from Europe
the other day with an optimistic out
| look In regard to business conditions
in the United States.
In his clear, direct manner he
brought out several important points
in a statement that he declares to be
his first optimistic Interview in three
years.
For several years" he said Il have
been rather pessimistic regarding bust
ness conditions throughout the world
and especially in the United States;
but now am free to say that believe
we are on the threshold OF a great
change.
The conditions In the United States
take on two phases-first, commercial,
and, second, political am convinced
that we are about to enter upon an
era OF great business revival. and that
the depression which has hung so
heavy upon US for several years has
reached the end.
THE second phase I mention-polit-
ical-bears heavily upon the return OF
general confidence. Our government
at Washington has shown In every
way a disposition to end the enact
ment of what has been termed de
structive legislation. Whether or not
such legislation has been properly
named | need not discuss
The true and thorough neutrality
Washington is preserving is a great
help at this time, and 1t will play
big part In our development"
