new YORK STOCK
|. MARKET RALLIES
Closes an Average Of Two Points
Above Low Figures.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Dec, 2o.--After a score OF
standard railroad and industrial
stocks had made new low records the
market rallied today and closed an av-
erage Of two points above the low fig
ures. For the depression and the SUBJ
seQuent rally no new reason devel-
oped. Professionals attached some
importance TO the Treasury rulings
on income tax and TO the sale by the
International Mercantile Marine Of
Its interests In the Holiand-American
line, but neither OF these was of
fundamental Importance.
The market Is swaying both dowli
and up and the fact that It is going
in any given direction does not mean
that II will continue. All that the
financial world can say with certainty
Is that stocks are so cheap as to be
an insult to the intelligence and pa
triotism of American investors. II
the men in the army were half as
cowardly as American investors, the
Kaiser would soon be giving orders
from Washington. Sri.
Low prices recorded included rs for
Atchison, 1915 for Baltimore and Ohio.
79A for Great Northern, rs for North
ern Pacific. 1oik for Union Pacific and
1914 for U. s. Steel. At these low
prices there was public liquidation.
Railroad men talk hopefully Of the
plan Of government control. They say
things are In such desperate eondl-
ton that the government can do moth
ing but help. While some of them
blame the government for It's delay

spiritual eXaltation developed in Eu-
ropean warning nations, Henry P. DAY.

Council, told the Washing on chapter
of the Red Cross today.
Il wish for no ILL., he said, "but
| hope and pray that whatever may
be needed to arouse us to a sense OF
sacrifice and cleanse us from our
selfishness will come to US
Mr.. Dawson expressed doubt if
more than one per cent of Americans
realize that we are today not only
fighting for the principles upon which
our republic WAS founded, hut for
our very existence" People of Eng
land and France also were slow to
change their ideas early in the
war, he said, but now, at seems as
if their affection and regard for man

These seem to be without malice
