STOCKS CLOSE Weak
after RREGULARITY
Tobacco Shares Decline to New
Records on New Issue News.

New York, Dec. 10.-Stocks closed
weak after a day Of small trading but
considerable irregularity in price
movements. Tobacco shares were the
feature Of the day, American, Lorril-
lard and Liggett & Myers breaking to
low records. Burns Brothers also
broke badly, as did Virginia Carolina
Chemical and Atlantic Coast Line.
Coppers and motors were firm.
Weakness Of tho tobacco stocks was
due to official announcement that
American Tobacco was planning an
issue Of $5O,0O0.0O0 or more of new
stock. That issue broke q 1-2 points,
Liggett & Meyers u, and Lorillard
Is, all closing at the bottom.
American Tobacco wants some
money early next year to help carry
stocks Of raw material, which now
cost three times the normal price.
The same condition must exist in all
tobacco companies.
New York Central declined more
than a point on announcement that
the storm had tied up the city of
Buffalo.
Because Of the snow and the gen.
orally stormy weather in the North,
Canadian Pacific was sold by a group
Of nimble traders who have been am
bilious for years to make some money
on the short side of that stock and
keep it.
An attempt to make capital out of
Bethlehem SteeFs request for financial

The Sound of Guns.

Conflicting statements have been

tance at which the guns can be heard.
On a still night, when an easterly
breeze is prevailing ! have heard the
dull thud quite distinctly in South
London. 1t is this disqu!eting sound.
not less than the din OF an occasional
air raid. which give Londoners an idea
how near the conflict really is. Now
records are being prepared which show
the extent of the distance at which
the guns are heard. Scientists at Uni
versity College declare they can be
distinguished at q range Of 200 miles.
This would include places like War
wick. Hull. Cromer, Brighton and
Weymouth. Sound travels at a rate Of
about 1.O9o feet a second, so that the
sound OF the guns in Flanders reaches
London about twelve and half minutes
after the explosions occur.-London

BAPTIST MINISTER'S /.
ASSAL JOHN D., JR.
Ansered at His Suggestion to Quit
Immersion Ceremony.

New York. Dec. Io-John d. Rocks-
feller, Jr.. was assailed from city pull
pits today. His suggestion that Bap-
lists do away with immersion and
other distinctive features Of their
church, as q step toward the unificar
ton Of all Christian sects was bitter
ly attacked by Rev. DR.. Frank NJ.
Goodchild in his sermon at the Cen
tral Baptist Church.
In DR.. GOodchild's opinion. the son
Of the OIL king. by his address before
the Baptist Social Union. last Tues
day night. In which he made his plea
for these changes, has placed a slight
upon the whole Baptist Church. This
slight" said the minister. 'is gra atuti-
Gus and unwarranted." DR.. Goodchfld
also charged that the younger Rocks
feller was attempting to bring Sand
ard Oil methods into the Baptist
Church"
Mr.. Rockefeller was also assailed by
Rev. Charles A. Eaton in his sermon
at the Madison Avenue Baptist
Church. He pointed out that the SYM
Dol Of baptism had been one Of the
few rituals imposed upon his follow
ers by our Lord. and that therefore
he could not sanction any attempt
to do away with it.

CHICAGO GRAIN.
BY JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.

= cent lower for the December, but the more
deferred futures were 1sc to 7sc higher. The
sample lots sold on the cash side of the house
were 1oc to ac lower. This big freak in the
price OF cash corn was the result of the con-
tinued EMBRACE to the East.
Ihere were advances Of Y to Ih for oats.
This market was irregular and unsettled. with
Price fluctuations at times shorp. There was
fair selling by longs in the December future.
while the buying was scattered. Fair sales
were made for deferred shipments. Premiums
In the sample market were of Nc and No. 3
whites were ! to lhc over the December.
The provision market was higher, due to
smaller receipts Of hogs than looked for, and
an advance Of Is cents in the price Of hogs.
The demand for cash meats and lard was
smaller.
