At the Lyric

The Danube Quartet at the Lyric for the first half of this week are billed as "Europe's casting marvels," and they deserve the title Their per formance is extraordinary, The four men present a fine appearance, each being a perfect sical specimen, and their aerial work is done with a speed and dexterity which wins them pro- longed applause.
 Gertrude Barnes is justly esteemed one of the most versatile entertainers in vaudeville. She understands the art of showmanship and her act has the finished touches which differentiate first-class vaudeville from the inferior kind Her Temptation" song is done in a highly artistic manner. Miss Barnes wears a green gown for this number which made the feminine part of her audience gasp and completely ia scinated the men. The chorus girl number was another good song sketch Miss Barnes concluded her act with a patriotic Joan of Arc song and posed as the Statue of Liberty.
 Eddie Carr and company offer 8 farce entitled The Office Boy" which is mildly amusing part of the time and gets better toward the last. The Three Sullys in singing, dancing and talking made their hit with dancing.

 No incident of comparatively minor importance so clearly suggests the pre- vailing spirit of helpfulness to the gov ernment at this time as the announce ment made by the Chemical National bank of New York city that it will ex- punge rule that is always followed of not allowing interest on deposits and will hereafter adopt that policy. Were | there no war, certainly if the United States had not entered into the war this very successful institution would have always remained true to the rule 1t haS always heretofore followed. The new policy is adopted to aid governmental financing. It has been the general opin- ion that the adherence of this bank to the policy of paying no interest upon de- posits explains in great measure why it's deposit line, which at one time led all the New Y ork banks, remained al- most stationary while other baHks were amassng deposits so that they were able to report that their deposits line was in excess of $l00 000, ,000-one or two of them much in excess of that amount.
 The Chemical bank for many years paid no dividends to it's stockholders. All of it's earnings, which were heavy, were turned over to surplus. Its stock holders were men of great wealth. They did not need the dividends and were sat- isfied to see the surplus steadily grow
  surplus much greater than that of any other American bank and the market value of it's stock was at one time higher by many points than that of any other bank.
 The granting of interest on deposits and the growth of many banks for that reason well illustrates the distinction between competition and cooperation. There came some 20 years ago time when banks began vigorously to seek deposits, going so far as to solicit them and to offer interest upon them. In that way they were and are now com- peting constantly with one another But the moment the banks enter within the Influence of the clearing house associa- ton competition ceases and cooperation in the best sense of the term is the policy
 COPPER AND MORE COPPER
 The brief announcement that the Gug- genheims have increased the already large plant established in Chile sometime ago so that a production now of $10,C00 tons of ore day will amount to a little under $3OO00,0O0 tons a day serves two purposes-one the justification of the ven- ture the Guggenheims made in Chile when by the investment of many millions they began to operate Chile copper prop erty, and the other the fact that copper producers are searching the world over for new sources of supply.
 Alaska made a jump in copper produc- ton in two years which. relatively at least Is without parallel in the annals of the industry. And Alaska has only be- gun to produce copper. Then, too, Amer ican capital is now seriously considering the feasibility of constructing a railroad from one of the harbors of San Domingo to the interior, about 160 miles, Trans portation of that kind is all that is lnI fe,. tJa alrr,t If n copper property. It is not unlikely that some of the capital which our recent financial explanation has created will be utilized within the next two years in the construction of this San Domingo rail- road.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Strength devei-

result in the falling OF in arrivals as
compared with a week ago.
Packers are no longer bossing the
job in the hog market. Despite siren
uous resistance. the ground gained by
the recent bear drive IS slipping under
their feet, and If eastern shippers could
get cars, the big outfits would have
little to say about making prices the
rest of the season.
Cattle.
Most Of the cattle were consigned
direct to killers. y
Values averaged about % cents
higher than last weeks close, but a
few thousand more would nave spilled
the beans. Two exceptions were bo-
logna bulls and calves. the former be-
ing IS cents to 81 higher than a week
ago. while choice calves recovered
Wednesdays loss, $3.50 beng paid for
choice packages. A lot Of little heifer
stuff did not find good market, stuff
selling under $3.50 being no higher
than last week. but fat cows and choice
heifers were wanted. Shippers had
cattle bought early in the week, for
which no cars were available. the
transportation problem oemg serious.
Stock cattle were hard to move. altho
a few f1eshy feeders were bought
around Sill Inability to get cars put
milk cows out Of business.
Sheep.
Sheep for the most part went direct

expect to get into Minnealopis late
today. They will have to leave for
Camp Dodge Christmas night-f they
do not overstay their leave. At least
two Minneapolis soldiers Of the 337th

are Clement ]. McKillip Of B battery.

This plan contemplates a fluctuation
In the interest rate with the money and

price OF the bonds. 1t Is novel idea
and has some features that are Inter
esting, but the question is how such
a plan would affect the market for the

q bond has ever been offered altho
loans in the money market are handled
in this way. Certainly the plan is new

BARLEY IN DEMAND.
Buyer Appears on Minneapolis Market
Mills Now Maxine Barley Flour


Minneapolis. Dec. 22.-Barley sales
mer had the "grand~and Glorious feel
ing" when for the first time they saw
the buyer for the Northwestern Con-
solidated Milling Company in the mar
ket. The three big Minneapolis milling
companies are now all making barley
-four. The Washburn -Crosby Com
pany and the Pillsbury Flour Mills
Company have been grinding barley for
several weeks. 1t was rumored In the
barley trade this morning that the
Russell Miller Milling Company will be
next.
Maltsters have been distanced-en-
tirely outclassed-in the race for bar
ley supplies Of late. The millers have
picked the market up and run away
with It, It is rumored that brewers in
the east are skeptical about the success
OF barley -four and so will not purchase
malt at present prices. They expect
break in barley prices.
Under normal conditions the heavy
receipts this week would have broken
the market. But the milling demand
steadily broadens. Many outside mills
are now grinding barley. Commission
men are daily receiving an increasing
number OF orders for a few cars for
shipment from Minneapolis.
It is believed by many cash grain
houses that nothing but large receipts
Of wheat can check the demand for
barley. There was no indication today
that the demand was~any nearer to be-
ing satisfied than 1t was a week ago.
yet receipts have been heavy all week
over 100 cars day and 200 on Mon
day

Chicago. Dec. 22.-Corn-Corn was
lower early on more favorable war
news and a further decline in oats.
There was no general or well Sus-
tanned selling pressure. however. and
limited short covering brought a reac-
ton to better than last nights close.
The demand in the sample market was
not urgent as buyers are anticipating
heavier receipts next week and were
therefore today providing for only
their immediate needs. The cash mar
ket was quoted unchanged with the
usual wide variations in prices.
Oats-Early weakness in the Deem
Der delivery was the feature in oats.
The market was nervous and promptly
recovered more than the early loss
the May future ruling the strongest.
1t would appear that leading bull In
terests in oats are transferring their
holdings from December to May The
latter delivery was also strengthened
by the fact that local traders were
encouraged by the early war news to
sell. and the great majority of them
were obliged to cover at loss before
the close. Country offerings are in
creasing somewhat which Is reflected
IN an easing off in the cash market.
Stocks-The tone Of the stock market
was improved and. while little change
resulted in the short session, the I'M
dertone was firm and many Of the
leading issues showed moderate I'M
provement. Increasing public interest
and purchases credited to leading
financial powers are working a grad
ual change for the better in the mar
ket situation.
