Rails Apathetic but Steeis and
Related Industries AWate
Lofti|y.

New York, jan 10-Prices on the
stock exchange today advanced and
receded within a restricted area until
the final hour, when buying of steels
shippings, and few active specialties
effected enormous net gains of 1 to 8
points.
Over night developments and Incl,
dents of the day seemed to exert little
influence, apart from the December
report of the United States steel cor
pOration. This showed an increase of
almost 100000 tons in untitled orders
and marked the first gain since last
April, when the high record for ton
mage was esta blished.
A very large percentage of the days
turnover was contributed by steels
and affiliated industrials, shippings,
oils and war specialties. Rails were
unusually apathetic, some of the more
prominent issues of that division re-
naming unquoted until the last hour.
United States steel scored an eX-
IRENE advance of 21s points from it's
minimum, closing at net gain of a
substantial fraction. Independent
steels and kindred equipments were
more variable, ending at losses of
large fractions to a point.
Advices affecting the general steel
and iron industry were hardly en-
couraging, a number of plants being
forced to suspend because of the lack
of fuel. '.
The strength of steamship issues,
oils and some of the motors and ac-
cessories resulted from a combination
of professional activity and rumors of
increased dividends. Total sales
amounted to $4,000 shares.
Bonds were irregular and without
especial feature. Liberty 3H:'s chang
ed hands at 1916 to $3.50, first As at

gregated $4,45G,000.

The Classic wapsipinicon river!
Have you ever visited and fished in
Wapsie. This was at one time the
mecca for all fishermen. Located
in the northern tier of counties in
Iowa 1t empties into the Mississippi
between Clinton and Davenport at
a point about three miles above
Princeton. Ia.
OF late years except during
freshets, there has been>little water
in this river. At the mouth the river
is about 100 yards wide, high banks
with old snags or trees extending
into the water. Pole and line fisher
men always considered the '"wapsie"
ideal fishing grounds. Anglers sell
dom visited that locality.
At the mouth of that river 1
passed through the grandest storm
it was ever my privilege to see. ac-
companied by a cousin, C. B. Mar
shall. now of Rock Island, we visited
the "Wapsie" on a fishing expedi-
ton. 1t was with difficulty we
reached the mouth of the river and
dragged our boat ashore prior to the
breaking of the storm. Our boat
was tipped against a couple of trees
with the bottom facing the storm,
a la lean to-" A dull, murmuring
storm came from UP river where the
water was lashed into a succession
of foam crested waves. A yellow
ish green tint permeated the atmo-
sphere, giving out a most ghastly
hue. The air was oppressive and
difficult to breathe. Crashes of
thunder followed vivid flashes of
lightning. The anger of the storm
was majestic and sublime. Birds
were screaming and rushing in ter
ror ahead of it. There was inces-
SAINT rolling of the waves ashore,
interspersed by the falling of limbs.
The weird whine of the wind was
pathetic. Thunder came like the
continuous discharge of heavy ar
tillery. This following the sickly
illuminations of the lightning flashes.
The mental query. for little was said.
was concerning the stability of our
boat made shelter. Then came a
silence which seemed uncanny. The
wind was gone and the heavens
cleared like magic. The sun came
out bright and warm. The water
did not seem at all clear but the fish
could evidently see and were pos
sessed with most vocarious appe-
tite. Our hooks baited with lively
sinners. the real sport was on. Never
did bass take hold more energeti-
cally or continuously. there was
never minute when one of us was
not hooked onto a bass and we re-
turned to Cordova, ILL.,. with a mag
nificent string OF fish. which was al
ways the result whea we visited the
"Wapsie," where we were on that
occasion RECALLED with the grandest
storm OF my experience.

Reading drew 6, peg nearer to first
place last evening in the Allison Hill
League by landing a 5 to battle
from the Hick-aeThrift tossers. H.
SwartZ, a 14-year-old lad. playing
second base for the winners, was one
of the luminaries of the evening. His
timely hit in the fourth sent the run
over the plate that eventually won
the contest. In the field he had one
out and one assist.
McCurdy shortstop for Reading,
did brilliant work, making five outs
and two assists. Minnich was in the
box for the "Hickies" and pitched a
good game. considering that his reg
ular position is that of catcher.
Leader had an off night at short
stop. as his three errors had much
10 do with the final result. His bat
ting partly made up for his erratic
fielding.
Reading scored in the first when
Shartle doubled driving in McCurdy
after Mack had knocked out a two
bagger. With G. Swartz on third in
the fourth round. his kid" brother
sent him home with a timely bingle.
The winners clinched the game in the
fifth, when Shartle, Levan and q.
Swartz crossed the plate. A base on
balls, two errors, and a pair of hits
did the trick.
The losing nine scored two in the
first on doubles by klerner and Lead
er, and Minnich's three base whale.
Two more were added in the sixth on
Griffin's single, Leaders three-bag-
ger and Minnich's sacrifice.
