STOCK MARKET


New York, Dec. 10.-Opening.- Trading was confined to the narrow est limits at the dull opening of to- days stock market. Changes were of the usual irregular character, in no important instance varying more than a fraction. Gains and losses were about equally distributed. A decline of Il points in American Tobacco was the only noteworthy feature. Events over the weekend seemed to exert little influence. Prices hardened gen. erally before the end of the first half hour
 Noon-The market improved later on moderate inquiry for steels. cop pers and shippings., Leaders of those divisions gained 1 to 13z points. Reading and Union Pacific also re- sponded to support but the general list made little headway. Spec1alties were sympathetical1y affected by the break in American Tobacco, oils and related issues yielding to 2 points. Recurrent weakness developed in for eign bonds, the entire French group establishing new low records. Lib erty As sold at 97.16 to 97.50 and the 3hs at 98.4S to 98So.

w orld of Finance

war means incalculable loss and san. r1f1ce, which it is unwise and haz- ardous to underestimate. Yet 1t is 'ilne 10 realize that even pessimism may be overdone, leading astray those "no yield to fear. The rate of fall In securities here since we entered the war is greater than the rate of lan In Great Britain for the entire three and @ half years during which she has been actually fighting. There IS disposition also to forget that this country as a whole is highly pros- porous; that we are much the most Iavoraioly situated of all the belliger- ents; that we are practically safe rom attack; that all our great indus tres with few exceptions are intense " actlve; that our Western farmers ana southern planters are enjoying e4traordlnary prosperity, and that wages are rising to meet the increased cost of food and clothing, which would have risen far higher had it not been for government restraint. Moreover. there is no occasion for unreasonable Tear regarding government regulation and price fixing; experience thus far proving that the policy of the admin 1stration has been to allow liberal ADD HENRY CIlGWS' LETTER DA profits on all necessary service, at the same time checking unpatriotic prof. 1teering. Any other policy would be suicidal, for where else can the enor. nous amount of taxes necessary be obtained except from current profits; to destroy which would be to lose the war;
 Security values fiuctuated consider ably; recessions usually being suc- ceeded by substantial recoveries. ThA advance which followed announce ment of the Interstate Commercs Commission plan was not sustained, owing to. the uncertainty as to what action would be taken. Some discus sion is of course inevitable, but it seems hardly probable that Congress will unnecessarily delay settlement of the railroads problem, which is such a vital factor in our successful con- duct of the war. Not less than a bill lion dollars will be required during the coming year to put the roads in efficient condition. Our government is already carrying burdens enough without adding the railroads; and 1t is not to the interest of owners, ship pers or employees to change from pri- vate to government control until pri- vate management has had the fair chance denied for a number of years. Not a few good stocks and bonds are selling below intrinsic values, making them good investments for the long pull. Under present unsettled condi- tions, however, continued sharp huc- tuations must be expected from day to day. The war, the action of Con- sress and advancing interest rates are still the chief governing factors.

WISCONSIN PLANS TO
KEEP WAR STRENGTH

(By International News Service)
MADISON, Wis, July 19-"Wiscon-
sins Iron Brigade of Civil War fame
will be repeated in the present war
with Germany if necessary" accord
ing to Adjutant General Holway.
During the Civil War Wisconsin
made an enviable record because her
regiments were constantly recruited
to comp etc fighting strength. The
same me hods employed at that time
are in use now.
In response to President Wilson S
call, 10000 National Guardsmen were
drafted into Federal service, including
six infantry regiments, one of caval-
ry, one artillery regiment, one battal-
ion of engineers, one signal corps,
two field hospital companies and two
ambulance companies.
While Badger soldiers are away six
depot battalions of troops, 1000 men
each, will be recruited and trained
at Camp Douglas, State mobilization
point, to be ready to fill any vacancy
in the ranks.
In addition a home guard will be
organized, consisting of those men
who are too old for active service.

Hog Cholera work in southern Ida
no, for the fiscal year ending June
80, DR.. w. A. Sullivan, head of the
u. S. bureau of animal industry in the
state, says, shows a flattering condi-
ton. Within the year the work has
extended over six new counties, there
being only five within the district at
the beginning. The hardest fight OF
the year has been in the Idaho Falls
district. where the disease had foot
hold at the beginning. At the close of
the year. only two cases were report
ed there, and these were the only
ones in the whole district not under
control. Only six outbreaks were re-
ported within the Twin Falls district,
only two of these since the first OF
the year, and these two brought by in
fected cars. The disease is completely
under control here at present;
DR.. Sullivan praises in the highest
terms the state live stock sanitary
board, the state veterinarian and all
veterinarians in his district for earn
est and effective cooperation.
