TO POPULARIZE BUNGALOW,
Methods of Promoting Lumber
Trade in Australia and New Zealand

One means of relieving the depres-
sion in the lumber industry in this
country is suggested by a commercial
agent OF the Department of Commerce.
Franklin H. Smith. who has been
studying the lumber opportunities in
Australia and New Zealand, has made
a report to the department, in which
he suggests that a serious. attempt be
made to popularize the American bun
galow style of dwelling in Australia
He says that this would result in
broadening the lumber market. No
style OF house, he says. could be
better adapted to the suburban sec
tions of the larger cities, yet thou
sands of brick or stone houses have
been put up and rooted with unsightly
corrugated iron.

LONDON MARKET ACTIVE.
Leading Feature Is Weakness Of
American Rails.

LONDON. December 1.-THE supply
of money was smaller today. The an
nouncement of the per cent exchequer
bond issue hardened discount rates as
well as foreign treasury bills. The
stock market was more interesting
than for some time past The leading
feature was the weakness in American
railroad shares, due to the American
Austrian diplomatic situation. The.
appearance of the French loan. which
started at 7s1s and advanced to s0A
on active dealings. together with the
British exchequer bond issue. adversely
affected gilt-edged securities.
The ~ per cent war loan dropped VI
on a number of sales. which, however.
were well absorbed. Consols closed
" point lower.
Business in other directions was
mostly in rubber and oil shares and
kaffirs at steady prices. A good num-
ber of American gold bonds also
changed hands

STANDARDS OvERSHADoWED.
Exohequer Bond Issue and French
Loan Favored ON London Change.

LONDON, December 1.-THE per
cent five-year exchequer bond issue
with which the government plans to
pay for American securities is regard
ed on the stock exchange as an ex-
celient Investment. and 1t already has
had slightly. depressing effect on the
gilt -edged section. where quotations
were marked down about half a point
early today.
Consols opened at SIX, against 5sk
yesterday, and the war loan declined
y to S6%.
The appearance of the French loan
on the market with dealings at 97ls
on the basis Of rs francs to the pound
sterling, or an eighth over the price Of
issue, also detracted interest from
standard securities.

SAG IN WHEAT MARKET
FOLLOWS EARLY UPTURNS
Strike Settlement Has a Bearish Eff.
feet on Prices, Notwithstanding
Higher Quotations at Liverpool.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. December 17.-Settle-
ment of the Belt Line railway strike
had bearish effect today on wheat.
At first, however. the market took an
upward course owing to higher quota
tions at Liverpool and on account of
the switchmen's controversy with
other roads here being still a peril to
shorts dependent on liberal receipts.
Opinion gradually gained ground
nevertheless that the remaining labor
difficulty would be overcome.
After opening y to A higher. with
December at 1.1sA to 1.1sk and May
at 1.1s to 1.19%, the market made some
further upturns and then sagged be-
low yesterdays finish.
Corn Prices Are Weakened,
Heavy selling to realize profits weak
ened the corn market. The unloading
began when the May option touched at
the outset a new high price record for
this season. The opening. which ranged
from shade off to AaM advance, was
followed by material setback all around.
Oats were governed by corn. Fluctua-
tions, though, were narrow and trade
light.
Provisions declined in sympathy with
lower prices on hogs The market yas
very dull. especially as to pork.
Subsequently talk of export wheat
buying led to rally. 1t was said, too.
that all of the wheat Communicated in
Canada was now on the Atlantic or
ready for ocean shipment but the
United States government crop Of win
ter wheat was not SO bullish as ex-
pected. and the market later headed
down grade. The close was unsettled "
to II net lower. with December at
1.1Sls and May at 1.17Ka1.1s.
The weakness of wheat and the slow
ness of eastern demand counted against
the bulls. Corn prices closed steady,
