The first people who took possessloh of the banks of the Rhine, we are toiu' were the half-savage Celts, who after- ward received the name Gauls. In the height of his glory Caesar crossed the Rhine and shortly afterward took the entire river under his jurisdiction. The river was, in Roman times, boun- dary between the province of Gaul anti the German tribes, and at a later date and, until 1871 was the frontier be- tween Germany and France.

O. Latin Derivation.

Corps is a French word derived from the Latin corpus, body, either civil or military, as police corps, ma rine corps, etc. It does not signify any particular number, but an organ ized body. In the United States army a corps consists of two or more divi- sions, each containing three brigades and each brigade three regiments. The term first came into use in this country during the Civil war period.

to 76 points. Bearish sentiment was en- couraged early in the week by warm weather and at times by an unfavorable view of peace prospects. Accumulating stocks and expectations of large ginning returns were also bearish influences.
 On Friday short sellers received facer in the census bureau report on ginning, which counted the output to October F at only 6,790.003 bales, against general ex- pectations of at least 1000, 000 bales. On the end of the week the opinion that peace prospects, were again frightened and the cold weather threatening the belt, caused buying which brought about & wide recovery.
 This week the weather returns from the belt will be of importance becaus. of their bearish effect on the outcome of the top crop.

THE WORLDS MARKET
Weekly Metal Review

New York, October 27.--Government de- the past week, tonnage allocation con- ssting chiefly of orders of cars, rails and barbed wire for shipment to France The requirements for shell steel are also heavy Operations of sheet mills are still restricted by a shortage of sheet bars, while structural steel plants are virtually limited to government orders.
 Scarcity of labor has prevented ship yards from using the full allotment of 10000 tons of steel weekly, and the amount released, estimated at 10000 to l5,00o tons, will facilitate completion of other war work
 Influenza has retarded iron and steel production somewhat, it's effect being particularly severe in eastern territory. The blast furcases have suffered more than the steel mills. Notwithstanding the prevalence of the epidemic, the United States Steel corporation was able to report ingot production for the week at go per cent of total capacity and the out put of blast furnace products at more ures compare with 9s and 947 per cent, re- ures compare with aS and 947 per cen, re- spectively, for the preceding week. The effect of the disease on operations was characterized by Bethlehem Steel cor poration officials as mot serious.
 The scheduled meeting to determine the price of copper to be effective from November l was postponed indefinitely, due to influenza, the current schedule remaining in force meanwhile. Copper production has been somewhat less re- gently, the war industries absorbing the entire supply.
 Lead is unchanged as to supply and price. Spelter rules quiet and easy. The tin market Is relatively inactive because of the uncertainty of the outlook as government control. Importers are pro- testing strongly against the restriction of innportations imposed by the war trade board. The spot price ranges from 76l4c to 771ac.

Weekly Financial Review

New York, October 27.-Money condi- tions far outweighed all other considera- tions in this weeks very active stock market, even the significant deevlop- inents in the war situation being subor- dinated to that situation.
 Measures adopted by the local money committee to restrict speculation and otherwise conserve credits for the pres ent and future requirements of the gov- ernment were regarded as a step in the right direction, the enormous expansion of loans stressing the need for such &C., ton.
 The financial community was almost unanimous. however in asserting that much of the recent demand for securities emanated from substantial sources, for eign and domestic.
 Persistent peace talk. heightened by events of the week, has undoubtedly stimulated distinct revival of invest 1Enent purchases, applying with especial force to rails and industrials of the class not identified with the war group
 The inquiry for rails had it's basis largely in the future satisfactory state ments of earnings and their more as sured dividend status. Ii is in low priced transportations that foreign interest has been most evident
 Conditions in the more important lines of industry have received a temporary setback as result of the influenza epi- demic, aAnt next weeks quarterly report of the United States Steel corporation IS expected to show earnings in keeping with the first half of the year.
