METAL AND WAR
SHARES ACTIVE
Cuban American Sugar Rises to
New Record; Odd Mixture
of Gains

New York. Nov. "a. - Metal shares
and some of the war specialties were
again moderately active and higher at
the outset of to-day's trading. Utah
Copper was the chief feature. its rise
of III to 7sst being associated with
the proposed disintegration of the Gug-
genheim Company. Lackawanna Steel,
Westinghouse and similar descriptions
were one to two points higher, while
Cuban American Sugar rose almost
four to the new record of 145. United
States Steel. which was unusually slug
gish yesterday, soon gained halt a
point at S7is. New Haven's recurrent
heaviness featured the railways.
An odd mixture of gains marked the
first hour. which was slightly more ac-
tive than yesterdays same period.
Texas Company, which opened at 19S,
a decline of 1&, soon reversed its
course. advancing to 210, a new record.
This same distinction was shared by
Cuban-American Sugar on its advance
of So to 15O. Other oil and sugar
shares were strong. and United Fruit
rose four to 1853, its recent maximum.
Crucible Steel, Pfd., gained 5 II at
112L in recognition of the resumption
of dividends, Increased weakness of
New Haven. which fell 2i4 to 75% un-
settled other rails. Bonds were firm.

Mere Handful of Serbs
Are Opposing Advance

Paris, Nov. "a. 500 A. M.-'what
appears to be confirmation OF the re-
port that the Serbian army of General
Bokovitch is now opposing only a thin
screen to the Austro- German ad-
vance, says Salonilki dispatch dated
Monday in the Temps to-day. The
main forces have been concentrated
on the Kossovo Plain. General Boko-
witch will hurl 10000 men against the
10000 Bulgarians guarding the de-
files of Katchanik and Kortchou.
The Serbians may even attempt the
supreme effort of dashing into Uskup
and then on to Veles. there to Join
hands with the French. But in order
that the battle shall end in anything
but sublime suicide the operation must
be carried out energetically and sue
cess must be achieved promptly.
There is good reason to believe the
Bulgarians will not occupy Monastir
until the arrival of the first detach-
ments of Austro- German troops"

WAR CHARITIES FUNDS
ARE GOING ASTRAY

London. Nov. 24.-The Daily Mail
devotes considerable editorial space
to an urgent demand for the sup
preston of bogus war charities"
"Of the f27,O00.000 ($135, ,000)
raised for charitable purposes since
the beginning of the war" says the
Mail, those who know best believe
that very considerable part has To~e
to enrich clever exploiters of public
phIanthropies. A case recently came
under police notice where only E70 OF
f1, 200 collected had found it's way into
the official charity bank account, the
remainder vanishing in expenses
The Mail argues for system OF
licenses.

DREDGERs OUT IN FORCE.
Oyster Catch From Lower Potomac
Beds Reported Fair.

Reports received from the lower
river state the oyster dredgeboats are
out In force and that the natural beds
at the mouth of the river are being
secured for oysters. though heavy
winds on several days prevented many
of the smaller boats from going out.
The catch Is reported fair and the
oysters in excellent condition, though
not very large.
Most of the dredgers working in the
Potomac are taking oysters for the
Baltimore packing houses and are send
ing them to Baltimore in runboats en-
ployed by the firm SO that they can
stay on the oyster grounds all the time,
going into port only for stores when
needed. With the tongers and dredgers
both at work the boats that have been
bringing oysters to this city are hav-
ing an easy time in getting cargoes.
With a continuation of cold weather
the demand for oysters in all the mar
kets will be good. At Baltimore, a
day or two ago, as high as so cents a
bushel was being paid wholesale for
good stock. This supply was being
packed for the western trade, which is
growing heavier each year with i'm
proved methods of shipping.

Alleges Attempt to Discredit.

Because the commission did not fol-
low conventional lines and SO presented
facts and materials that are usually
carefully suppressed and not available
to the masses Of the people," the re-
port continues. there was initiated
against the commission a campaign
for the purpose of discrediting in ad-
vance the final report. However, the
labor movement as we'll as all cit
liens who have sympathy and under
standing Of the lives of the wage earn
ers united in a determined effort to
defeat this campaign and to make
known their approval of the policy the
commission followed"
In reviewing legislation by the last
Congress. the report expresses the ex-
ecutive councils approval Of the sea-
mems bill. The law, 1t says, will at
ford large measure of safety pro-
visions for the general public who
travel the high seas and, the report
adds, I'VE. feel confident in asserting
that the passage of this legislation by
the Sixty-third Congress was one of
its distinctions"
Statistical reports were read show
ing the average membership for the
American Federation of Labor for the
year was 1.946,347, a decrease of 74.324

TOBACCO MEN TO FORM
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Representatives Of Leading Manu-
facturers and Merchants Meet
Today in New York.

NEW YORK, November S.-Repre-
sentatives of leading tobacco manu-

les met here today to organize the To-

that industry ever held in this coun-
try. The capital stock represented is
estimated at s1.500.0Oo, 900 and the an
nual business at S709,000,000.
The organization was suggested at a
previous conference of Independent to-
bacco men on call issued by editors
of tobacco journals. One of it's chic f
purposes was declared to be to relieve
the trade of the conflicts which have
injured 1t for years.
National headquarters will be estab-
lished in this city and active work will
begin at once. Thirty men of national
reputation in the tobacco trade have
consented to serve as officers and di-
rectors of the association.
