FINANCES AND
MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DisPATcHl

NEW YORK. Dec. 29-More than
at any time since the renewal of
business on the stock exchange the
market was governed by conditions
growing out of the European war.
The administrations representations
to England, protesting against the
further detention of American marine
commerce caused an abrupt halt in
the advance of prices which was in
full swing at the previous days close.
The general opinion of Wall Street
is that a new and significant de-
velopment has been projected into
the international situation The mar
ket opened with accustomed irregu-
larity. leading stocks evincing hcavi-
ness. with a few gains among the
unimportant issues. From that level
a rally ensued. the recovery in a
few instances restoring stocks to the
preceding days best. Before midday
the list fell back again and the baN
ance of the session no important
changes were recorded. Dealings
showed marked falling off in com
parison with recent full sessions. and
such a trend as was shown came
mainly from the short interests oper-
atoms, with Il sprinkling of liquida-
tions, especially in Rock Island bonds
which made sharp decline of from
two To almost five points. Another
decline in exchange on London To
the lowest price in almost sixteen
months gave rise to some discussion
concerning gold imports. Bankers
were unanimous in declaring that this
market cannot hope to get gold I'M
ports from London. but the return
of some of the gold shipped TO Ut
tawa in the early stages OF the
war is within the range of possibility.
Time money was quotabiy unchan-
ged, but it was reported that several
thirty and sixty day loans were

The uprising which the war department tells

the department officials state. probably not an

of it as disturbance" similar to which might
occur in any American city the size of Manila

ANIMALS AND BIRDS
AS WEATHER FORECASTERS

"The spider, upon the approach of
rainy or windy weather, will be found
to shorten and strengthen the guys of
his web. When the storm is over he
will lengthen them again.
"Sea gulls predict storms by assem-
bling on the land, but this is merely a
search for food. They instinctively
know that the rain will bring the
earthworms and larvae to the surface.
A similar instinct teaches the swallow
to fly high in the fair weather and
skim the ground when foul weather is
coming. They simply follow the flies
and knats which remain in the warm
air."
"Swine will carry hay and straw to
hiding place, oxen will lick them
selves the wrong way of the hair,
sheep will bleat and skip about, hogs
turned out in the woods will come
to their pens squealing and grunting,
colts will rub their backs against the
ground, crows will gather in focks,
crickets will sing more loudly, frogs
will croak and change color to a dingy
hue, dogs will eat grass, and rocks
will soar like hawks.
"In all probability these many ac-
tions are due to an uneasiness similar
to that which all who are troubled
with corns or rheumatism experience
just previous to a storm, and are
caused both by the variation in baro-
metric pressure and the changes in
the electrical condition of the atmo-
sphere"

CONGRESS- WILL
QUIT TONIGHT
SOME RUMBLING OF TROUBLE
FROM SOUTHERN MEMBERS
ON COTTON PLAN.

Washington, Oct. 22-The adjourn
.ment of congress at 6 o'clock tonight
has been arranged by the administra-
tion leaders Of both houses.
A formal resolution to that effect
has been prepared though there are
some rumblings of flibustering by
southern members, who want legisla-
tion to relieve the cotton situation,
but the democratic leaders seemed
sure of their plan.
When the conference report of the
war revenue bill was finally brought
in by Majority Leader Underwood
one hour was allowed for discussion
The reduction Of the tax on beer and
the elimination of cents a gallon on
the tax on rectifed spirits, removed
practically all opposition.
The final agreement on the bill was
reached by a strict party vote, the
republicans voting against it.
The conference restored the house
provision that new taxes shall 20 into
effect the day after the passage of the
bill. The report was adopted by a ris
ing vote, 126 to 81.

BRITISH AND FRENCH FORCES CAIN GROUND,
STRONGLY SUPP0RTEDBY ENGLISH SHIPS

London, Oct. 22-Reports that the
Germans have evacuated Ostcnd and
were retreating toward Bruges, that
their west Flanders army, from the
vicinity of the coast south to Courtrai
is being hammered into a zigzag line,
seem substantiated. The absence of
claims from Berlin of advances has
resulted in the opinion here that fight
ing among the canals of Belgium is
showing results favorable to the AL
lies. At any rate, the Germans at one
point are being driven as far as Thor
out and some dispatches say that their
communications in the middle of West
Flanders has been so disorganized
that troops from Ghent are marking
direct to Courtrai, rather than join
their comrades to the south, who are
10 danger of being cut off. From Ber-
liz itself comes report that British
ships are shelling Ostend while anoth-
er dispatch said the guns OF the war
vessels destroyed the village of Slype
on the canal between Ostend and
Bruges.
One of those who make up the AL
lied armies in the fighting zone in the
reighborhood Of the Belgian border,
is quoted as having said yesterday:
owe shall most certainly be L. E.&s-
sells in Il mo;:tli. /, :.yself, ">pn.tine

This probably represents the i'm
preston obtained here even though
in the mass Of vague assertions re-
garding the progress of fighting on
the vast line from the North sea to
the Rhine, there is to be found little
proof of any specific success so decis-
i've as to constitute victory or defeat

North DAKOTA
IS BEST PLACE

Vice Pres. Fred Irish of the First
National bank Of Fargo received a
telephone message from Pres. E. j..
Weiser, who has been travelling in the
east, from Minneapolis, stating that
he would be home soon.
Mr.. Weiser said that while east he
found that conditions We're very poor
there, that money was very scarce,
and that business Of all kinds was
slack. He said that North Dakota
was the garden spot Of the country in
the financial world and that until one
went east he could not realize how
much better off t,,is state is than its
eastern s;stecz.
Mr.. Weiser has been all through the
east on business and while away has
made a special study of the financial
and business conditions. His report
by telephone is most encouraging as
far as North Dakota is concerned.

effects of the war. The price of every
thing is slowly rising; work is good
yet, and we do not hardly know that
the war is going on. The people are
taking it exceedingly cool. Looking
round, one doesn't hardly think a big
war is raging"

vORED BEFORE AMERICANS

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 22-Hun-
dreds Of United States citizens are
quitting the Canadian Northwest daily
trains from that section being crowd
ed to capacity by former residents Of
this country who are returning be-
cause of the poor business conditions
there.
American labor has no place in the
Canadian northwest just now," said ].
Leonard of Calgary, formerly of
Grand Forks, who has just returned,
"United States citizens are being sub
jected to the boycott in the matter
of labor, Canadians and Englishmen
getting the first call in every line.''
Mr.. Leonard's experience aply illus
trates the situation. Employed in an
office where he was second in point
of seniority, he found himself the first
to be laid off, three others, all English
men, who had entered the office after
he did, being kept in their positions,
although two Of them have since been
laid off. The demand for labor is far
below normal in every portion of west
ern Canada and with poor crop condi-
tions in many sections, the situation
there is far from satisfactory iust
now.

NOTHING LACKING

CONNECTIONS FOUND.

Petrograd, via London, Oct. 22-
Refugees who have reached Petrograd
from Russian Poland have brought
information concerning a secret sys-
tenn of communication by telephone
sf which the Germans have made ex-
tensive USE
They relate that when German
troops enter town in Russian Pol
land some officer at once asks to be
directed to the home of a non-Polish
resident, giving the mans name. In
the house Of this individual there is
invariably found a telephone and the
cellar is well stocked with benzine or
gasoline, canned soups and other pro-
visions. By the use of this telephone
the Germans endeavor to establish
communication with their rear. They
inform headquarters OF their exact
whereabouts, and at times even seek
from villages ahead Of them informa-
ton as to the best roads for their ad-
vance.
The Russians are now taking steps
to destroy this system of communica-
| tion, which is said to be widespread
