ITALIAN COPPER SHIPS
NOT TO Be DETAINED

ROME, Wednesday. December %. $50
pm. delayed and France
have given assurances to the Italian
government that cargoes of copper on
board Italian steamers, which have
been held as contraband of war, will be
released. In return, Italy has pledged
herself to prevent the re-exportation
of copper. All available supplies of
the metal are needed in this country
for home manufactures.
Evening star., 1914-12-26

\ number of Italian steamers with
cargoes of copper have been held up by
the British authorities at Gibraltar and
elsewhere since the outbreak of the
war. 1t was observed that Italy's i'm
portations of the metal were increas-
ing, and the British and French gov
ernments suspected that some of it was
being forwarded from the Italian ports
to which it was consigned to Germany
or Austria. 1t was announced here De-
cember that the British government
had procured the adoption by neutral
governments of embargoes or undertak-
ings that copper would not be permitted
to pass their borders into belligerent
states. Under this arrangement it was
said, there probably would be no fur
ther difficulty in shipping American
copper to Europe. The allied nations
class copper as absolute contraband

Unfavorable Factors.

Among the unfavorable factors was
the reduction of the Pennsylvania
company's dividend, which directly af-
iects the earnings of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad. and gives rise to conjecture
regarding the stability of it's own divi-
dend policy. This was seen not on,v
IN the heaviness of Pennsylvania
shares. but in the abrupt decline of
other securities of the same class.
The decision of the United States
Steel Corpor.. tion to maintain the ex-
isting wage scale, for a time at least
because of the better outlook, and
easier money tendencies, including re-
duced discounts, failed to eyercisa
much influence on the constructive side

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
FOR DUCK HUNTING
Ponds and Lakes In Vicinity Afford
Good Breeding
Grounds

Prospects for duck hunting this fall
are the best IN years according to an
authority, the numerous ponds formed
back of the levee across the river af-
fording excellent breeding places for
game fowls.
BY the widening Of the river through
the building OF the Keokuk dam. a
long expanse Of the Mississippi is
made an ideal resort for wild fowl,
while the submerged trees are the
homes Of thousands Of wood ducks.
The hunting was good last fall, too
much so in fact. It Is claimed that
wanton killing resulted in the waste
of hundreds of ducks. these having
been shot and spoiled through the
carelessuess of hunters In the vfcin-
ity Of Fort Madison the carcasses Of
many fowl were found hanging to
trees, having been left as a result of
the warm weather spelling them.
The season opens October 1 and
will be welcomed by nimrods. With
meat prices soaring, the advent Of
Juicy roast duck will prove a blessing
to those fortunate enought to obtain
it, and hunters should get their full
share with the excellent opportunities
offered.
