SMALLEST EXPEDITION IS
ONE OF MOST SUCCESSFUL
Germans Cleared From African Lake
by Twcnty-Eight Men, Who
Have No Casualties.

LONDON. May 20.--An account
Of the smallest and one Of the most
successful British naval expeditions
sent out during the present war
that which cleared the Germans
from the district OF tho Lake Tany
ganyika in Africa-has Just been
published by the COLONIAL Institute
here.
The expedition inGuded only
twenty-eight men. and II went
through the campaign without n
single casualty. It's two boats were
transported 5000 miles by sea and
then $500 miles by land before they
reached the scene of their obte ctive.
They were dragged long distances
through the bush and over a range
OF mountains. sometimes in a tenn
perature of 100 degrees. The first
encounter with the enemy was when
the German armed motorboat Kin
ganl sailed into the bay where tho
British ships lay. her commander
unaware that the British navy was
on the spot The Kingani was
chased into the lake and, after be-
ing heavily shelled. surrendered.
She then resumed her career under
the British flag as the Fiji.
Some time afterward, another
German boat appeared. the Hedwig
Won Wissman. The Fiji and Mimi
chased her thirty miles, until at
$500 yards the Fiji got the range
with high explosive shells. In a
few minutes the Hedwig burst into
flames, turned turtle and sank. Her
ensign was picked up, and was the
first enemy ensign captured in any
sea battle in the war.
The remaining German boat the
Graf Won Gotzen, stayed in harbor
A seaplane flew over and reused her
with 4 few bombs. The Germans
then filled der with concrete and
sank her, ID

New Orleans, December 23.-Not for years has the suspense in the market over Sunday been so entirely free of any unfavorable news as 1t was yester- day. The press Is one solid array of ep- timistic views and reports-good DO litical, good trade. good shipping and good spot news. General competition for the raw material is coming daily moro prominently into view The ad- vance in the contract markets is cheap- ening the basis and, therefore, taciliist- ing the demand Tor spots. A good spot business was done here Saturday after hours at Ac to Mc over quotations.
 Weather conditions continue to help the advance. Bad weather, causing the loss of late cotton, delaying ginnin gs and new crop preliminaries. The pro- tracted bad weather was the chief fac tor In causing a narrowing lately In excessive discount of later positions un- der the near
 Our market opened 10 to 30 points higher and advanced rapidly under gen. eral demand until the gain reached 90 points on the spring months, the dis count of May under March narrowing to about 70 points.
 Futures are so@much below the lead by developments in shipping trade and spots that advance in futures Is more justified and better protected than on many previous occasion. After this good upturn at the start the market quieted down and reacted moderately, but there was a strong undertone.- John F. Clark & Go.

New York. December 3-The feature creasing activity of business particularly
 in the late months. Notwithstanding the proximity of the holidays and the extent l of recent advances, early realizingasales

The opening was somewhat irregular, with Decem- Der g points lower under realizing. but the tone was firm and later deliveries were 20 to 32 points higher. There was probably some selling for reaction as well as profit taking. but there was a good general demand and active months soon sold s2 to eS points net higher, with January touching 29.45c and March, 2s. 40c. At this level the buying movement slackened somewhat and there were re. actions of S5 to 40 points during the aft ernoon under realizing for over the holi- days, but the offerings were gradually taken off the market owing to a con tinued demand from trade interests or commission houses and covering by early sellers This gave the market 8 steady uuuoTtouc hnu tho Ciose WAS SeNcEd points up from the lowest at 2s.17c for January and 2s.14c for March. Decem- Der shorts bid the price up sharply with out securing much cotton and that de- livery closed at the highest point of the day. Trading in December will end at noon tomorrow.
 Private cables from Liverpool said that after the February allotment gov ernment control of ocean freight and rates would be ended, and that there was some selling of late months there in expectation of increased imports or lower freight rates.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 23.-New high levels were reached in the cotton mraket today, for the upward movement now undek way, buying pressure being felt on the opening and during the greater part of the session thereafter. Bullish feeling regarding the spot sit- uation was the main influence at work. At the highest levels in the early trad ing contracts were "A to 106 points up. Around the middle of the day there was a reaction of from 20 to 50 points, but toward the close the tone steadied and January made a new high level. where 1t stood ST points up.

 Exports were again comparatively large, total foreign shipments for the day amounting to 23,125 bales against [l2,S44 this day last year.
 Weather conditions over the belt were regarded as highly unfavorable and had their bullish effect on values Considerable rain and snow were re- ported in the western belt and indi- cations were that the weather would extend eastward.
 The distant months were stronger than the near, which had the effect of reducing discounts somewhat January at it's best touched 29.17c and July assoc. Spots were marked up 37 points to 3050c for middling.

Corn Closed 7-Sc Off to 1 1-4c Up, While Oats Lost 3-Sc to 1 3-Sc-PrOvisiOns

Chicago, December 2s-Holiday spirit took precedence over business on the exchange today and the corn market was irregular and easily influenced. Prices closed steady at s1.ss1s to sl. ss11aa1. .Ss1l January. s1s5 to s1.35H February. with the market as whole %c off to 114c up, compared with Saturdays finish Oats lost B to 1ssc.
 In provisions the outcome ranged from 3oc decline to 25c advance For a while corn showed all around strength, chiefly as result of continued unsettled weather. In addition, bullsh sentiment was emphasized by the genral notice taken of the fact that the principal short age of yield this season was in/ the seven states which usually supply the greatest surplus. Demand, however, quickly spent it's force and traders then gave most of their attention to profit taking. Below zero temperatures reported from the northwest tended somewhat to favor the bears during the last half of the session.
 Oats displayed relative weakness from the start Provisions worked lower for active deliveries.

STOCK TRADING IS
 STILL IN DULL STATE
Steel, While Not as Promi- nent as Usual, Resisted Pressure Better Than
 Other Favorites

New York, December 23.-Left quite entirely to it's own devices. to- days stock market settled down to the dull routine of the past fortnight after moderately active and strong open ing in which shippings were the main features at extreme advances of to 1 points.
 The strength of this particular group was directly traceable to reports from Washington indicating the early trans fer of the British tonnage of the Mer- cantile Marine company to the United States government on a satisfactory financial basis.
 A few other stocks, notably trans continental rails, motors. oils and mis- cellaneous specialties. derived some benefit from the rise in shippings, put this proved to be only temporary the whole list falling back before mid day.
 For the balance of the session the movement was one of idle drift, main ly downward, in which standard rails were relatively heavier than speculative issues, grangers and coalers, for ex- ample, losing 1 to almost points.
  the coppers. secondary equipments, Studebaker and utilities, including the shares of the various express companies and Brooklyn Transit. United States Steel was less promi- nent than usual, but resisted pressure better than other issues of the same division, at no time losing more than q fraction. American Smelling was freely offered at an extreme setbtck of 1h points.
 Bonds were heavy as a result of the weakness shown by minor rails and utilities, in which losses ran from l to 2 per cent.
 Marked improvement was evinced by the Liberty division, the 3 1as advanc ing over 1 per cent and the fourth A rallying substantially from last weeks low quotations Total sales, par values, were s14,250,000.

 There was some realizing at the ad /. vance however, due to the approaching holidays. causing values tc east of

 More ships are gradually being aI- lotted to the cotton trade by the United States shipping board and by foreign governments, and vessels are arriving at southern ports in increasing mum bers to carry more of the staple to
 Europe.
 | The cotton goods market is steadier, with more business doing for civilian requirements, as well as for export to South America, influencing American mills to enter the market again. Aside of the probability of this years crop and last years surplus not being any too large in event of the neces- | sary tonnage being provided to move cotton in a larger volume oforeign shores, a feature of importance and bullish in nature is the fact that Eng | land depends mainly upon the Texas crop for it's requirements.
