FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET MAS DULL.

New York, Nov. 18.-The stock market was in a state of suspended animation during the greater part of todays session, prices for the most part rising and falling within circum- scribed limits, although gains prevail ed at the close.
 Sentiment among the professional element was strongly influenced by last weeks adverse bank statement, the reduction of actual reserves giving fresh point to the need for continued restriction of credits, and labor prob lems also assumed greater prominence.
 Reviews submitted by competent trade authorities over the week end were again of irregular tenor, but conservative opinion inclined toward an indefinite continuance of wartime conditions in the steel industry and affiliated lines.
 r. s. Steel and Marine preferred divided the honors of the day. the former rallying easily in the last hour from its one-point decline and closing at a substantial fractional advance, while Marine held it's four-point rise, despite another meeting of the direc- tors at which mo progress was re- ported on the proposed sale of the companys British tonnage.
 Rails made partial recovery from their extreme setback of one to two points, motors and oils were irregular at best with the several war groups, and specialties displayed uncertain tendencies aside from Industrial Alec hol, which roes three points. Sales were 550O0O shares.
 Most divisions of the bond market were disposed to ease, internationals as well as Liberty issues, on a marked falling off of dealings. Total sales, par value, aggregated s9.600,000.
 Old U. $. fours gained 14 per cent on sales,' declining as much on cal.

HUNTERS MUST OBSERVE LAW

In making plans to shoot migratory waterfowl hunters will do well to note the dates of open seasons under both Federal and State laws. This caution by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture results from evil dence of confusion in the minds of some sportsmen in regard to the opening of the season when the dates conflict under State and Federal laws
 The Federal law and regulations limit the seasons before and after which no one may shoot these birds. If State law opens the season later or closes it earlier than the dates

The Long Arl1 Of Mercy
The Red Cross is the Long Arm of Mercy.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

The Red Cross is the Long Arm of Mercy
1t is the Kindness OF N1ankind-organized.
In Man is an Angel and Devil Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde The Red Cross is the Good aroused energzed TO
thwart the Bad
1t is the best antdote we know to the bane OF war.
There are other Charities, more less helpful. The
Red Cross the mghtet of all Charities the Love and Fifty
of all men made supremeiy efficient
If, as Emerson said sensible and conscientious
men all the world OF one religion this the ex
preston of that religion.
The Red Cross is Humanity united in Service.
1t asks no mans opinions only his need
Black or White Friend Foe the Red Cross there
is no difference; it only asks: Who is SuferngE And
to him it goes.
The Red Cross is so Efficient that Governments recog-
nze it. so Pure in its purpose that whoeverWlshes well MS
fellow men, desires help it, Clean in its administration
that the most suspicious can find no fault IN It.
The Red Cross only seeks to alleviate the cruees
of War; is the expression Of those human sentiments that
some day will put an end to War
It is the impulse of Love- striving to the i'm
pulse of Hate.
1t is Mercys cooperation struggling against Wars RI
valries.
It is the one Society in which every Man, Woman and
Child should be enrolled; for it knows secs no pre1-
dces protesting opnion the human being does not 1--we
that does not feel that the starving should be ted the SICK
tended and the wounded healed.
Majestic and divine this Long Arm of Mercy finds
the fallen the battlefield it brings the nurse and the
physician to the victim in the hopta it leads the weeping
orphan to home feeds the starving cares tor the pest
sten whom all others abandon and pours the oil OF Help
and Pity into the bitter wounds OF the World.
Where volcano has wrought desolaton in Japan,
Flood in China, or a Hurricane in Cuba Famine in
India or Plague in Italy, ravagng Armies in Poland,
Serva Belgium there flies the Red Cross the Angel OF
God whom the fury Of cannot Danish from the Earth
and to the Ends Of the Earth all the OF the Seven
Seas wherever Human Misery there extended to bless
and to heal its Long Arm of Mercy.

Bv a vote of Al TO "a the Senate
Yesterday defeated the Underwood
resolution to limit debate for the Pc

Before the vote was taken the ac'
