MARKET SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT
Steel and Oil Shares in Big
Demand; War Stocks Occupy
Prominent Place

New York. Dec. 30.-All around i'm
provement was shown by the market
in to-day's early dealings. overnight
developments conducting to that con-
dition. U. S. Steel and the oil shares
were in especial demand while various
war descriptions were materially
higher. Steel opened with 1000 shares
at S7$ to S7%, a gain of IS, while
Mexican Petroleum, Texas Company
and California Petroleum, common
and preferred, scored gains ranging
from / to points. st. Paul, Cana
dian Pacific and Fries rose l to 2
points and coppers also reflected furth-
er inquiry.
Mexican Petroleum was the feature
of the first hour. its sales on the rise
of 4 h points to the new record of
112& being almost double those of
Steel. Erie issues led the rails and St.
Paufs advance to 9S placed that stock
within fraction of its highest of the
year. New York Airbrake featured
the war group, advancing 4 to 141 and
Express company issues responded
further to increased earnings, Wells
Fargo rising to $50. Prices shaded

TRAFFIC RATES
BY SUEZ TREBLED
Lloyd's Action Stirs London
as 1t May Mean Germans
Are Near Canal

London, Dec. 3O.It was announced
London, Dec. 30.-It was announced
rate of. all .cargoes passing through
the Suez Canal will hereafter be tre-
BILE the present rate. This news has
caused d profound impression.
Although the War Office declines to
say anything on the subject, it means
beyond doubt that grave apprehensions
are felt and that the presence of Tur-
co-German forces near the canal must
be a certainty.
In many quarters the opinion is
prevalent that the German invasion of
EGYPT is to be attempted at a much
earlier date than had been expected
even by the most pessimistic of Brit
ish observers. The news that Lloyd s
has trebled the insurance rate on all
cargoes passing through the canal is
regarded as good evidence that that
opinion is correct. Such rate will of
necessity drive almost every descrip-
ton of Anglo-Oriental shipping around
the Cape of Good Hope The new rate
is looked upon as closing the canal al
most to the extent of an official order.
The increase in insurance rates has
also, in the minds of military observ-
ers, determined the destination of the
10000 Indian soldiers withdrawn from
the front in France last week and sent
to another field of action"

Health Gone, Huerta
May Be Given Freedom

Washington. d. c., Dec. 3O-The
suspicion that General Victoriano
Huerta, the aged eX-dictator of Mexico
has come to his last illness, has result
ed from reports received at the Depart
ment of Justice as to his condition.
General Huerta lies closely guarded in
an officers home on the reservation at
Fort Bliss, Texas. His strength is
gone and his spirit sadly shaken.
The Attorney Generals desire to as
certain the condition of his health re-
suited from a request that he be re-
leased on bail pending his recovery.
As a result of the inquiries made by
the agents of the Government at Fort
Bliss, the belief has gained ground that
one of fate's ironies is to he consum-
mated in bringing about the old die
tator's death in Imprisonment under
the government which he Haunted with
such high braVado.

Billy and Bunny Rabbit

For many months previous to this
occasion Miss Rachael Rabbit had been
conceded to be the most popular of all
the fair young lady rabbits of Aavon
Forest. Her two most favored suitors
were Billy and Bunny Rabbit, cousins,
who were enamoured of the beautiful
Rachael and frightfully jealous of each
other. Now ID so happened, that when
the chairman of the assemblage offered
for a prize large round head of cab
bage both Billy and Bunny conceived
a brilliant idea of how to strengthen
the hold of the fair Rachael on the
title of the belle of the forest, and also
win a firmer stand in the affection of
the idol of his heart. The great pity is
that both Billy and Bunny thought of
identieallv the same idea. And it was
that he should gather all the eggs he
could, take them to Rachael's S home and
secretly help her to distribute them.
Although each conceived this brilliant
idea at the same time Billy was the
first to begin its execution.
