porters in Argentina were not follow

crop damage had been exaggerated.
On the other hand, the bulls were dis

European visible supply showed big

from 4 off to * up, with December at
1.74% TO 1.15 and May at 1.7411 to LIS.

Corn weakened with wheat. Storms in
the corn belt acted as only an Offset
in part. After opening at q decline to
" advance. the market underwent a
general sag and then recovered some
what.
Oats were strengthened by liberal
export business. Fresh gains in quo
tations. however, failed to last.
In provisions. wild rush to buy
carried December pork up 1.25 and De
cember lard 92l4; offerings were ex-

from shorts

ACTIVE But NERVOUS

NEW YORK. October 24.-The New
York stock market was active and at
tended by considerable irregularity in
the price movement. 1t is not one
sided market. but the public buying is
persistent, and frequently takes this or
that stock entirely out of the hands of
the professional element for a sharp
rise.
The professionals seem to be working
for reaction again, frequently turn
ing the undertone of the list for one
half to a point recession. but with
much difficulty in keeping 1t down.
Brokers' offices are crowded and buying
orders pour in from all sections of the
country.
The feeling among the veterans Of
the street is that a prediction break
is coming, but whether it will be long
delayed or a matter of the Immediate
future is the point at issue on which
they seem at sea.
II the street should find the swing
of sentiment toward republican sue
cess at the polls, it is questionable
whether there would be the reactlon
unless sold-out bulls are sufficiently nu-
merous to bring q reaction.

Moves With Relative Ease.

1t is a market that moves either way
with relative ease, but goes up easier
than it goes down.
Immediately on the opening there
was a sharp rise, general throughout
the industrials and in the rails as well.
Then the turn on profit taking brought
about recessions of nearly a point from
the high, except in specialties. which
was again followed by partial recov-
cries, the public coming in on recess
sions. something of a new feature in
their trading.
Steel common was the active leader
less dominant than for sew
era1 days past. Its action for the first
three hours of the session was repre-
sented by an advance to 120N or y
above yesterdays closing, then a drop
more or less steadily, to 11SS and a
recovery to 119.

"WHITE GIFT SERVICE"
At the South Parish congregational
Church a Beautiful Spectacle

THE White Gift service" at the South
Parish Congregational church on Christ
mas Sunday was even more beautiful and
impressive than was anticipated. On the
pulpit platform was a white cross eight
feet in height with an electric star Just
over it. On either side of the cross were
evergreens festooned with white ribbons
on which were hung the envelopes con-
tanning money from the Women's Bible
class and the Mems Forum DIR. w. s.
Thompson conducted the service, which
opened with a professional of all the
Sunday school from the cradle roll to the
senior departments.
AS the school and choir sang Joy to
the World the lights were all turned on,
Illuminating the church and the star over
the cross. The program followed with
presentation of gifts. The gift of the
cradle roll. which was laid at the foot Oh
the cross, was a picture of the children's
ward at the hospital. The primary and
junior departments gave to the various
objects-money to the Salvation Army,
money to the war relief fund.- baskets
of fruit and candy to the Children's
Home and the children in the hospital.
One class dressed doll for little girl
who had no doll. The senior classes gave
about so5 to two worthy objects.
The entire service of song and story
and gifts expressed the true Christmas
spirit and was a fit celebration OF the
birthday Of our King.
