FINANCES AND
 MARKETS

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Russias re- lection of Germany's peace terms, the hope that the presidents message to congress will tend to further clarify the railroad situation and other favor able incidents prompted another eXten- sive advance in stocks today.
 The greater part of the advantage was swept away in the last hour, how ever, when heavy realizing wiped out numerous gains of to points. Sell ing became. most marked after publi- cation of several adverse railroad statements for November Foremost among these was New York Central, which reported the enormous net de- crease of s3,689,0O0.
 In the substantial rise of the fore noon and intermediate session rails furnished much of the motive power.
 United States Steel was absorbed in a very heavy volume up to 9S. a gross gain of 21s, but was among the first of the leaders to react, closing at a loss of ss points. Sales amounted to l. 365, 900 shares.
 Railroad bonds were strong with in- dustrials, but lost ground with the stock list. Internationals were inactive and little changed Liberty As sold al 97.02 to 9691 and the 5ls's at 9S.7S tc 9S.62 Total sales, par value. aggre- gated s5,375,00o. Old United States

AFRICAN CHURCH
 FREEFROMD DEBT

The special effort of the Lucy Phil- lips Colored Methodist Episcopal church to raise and pay the $1000 mortgage debt of that church was successfully closed last night. Under a guaranteed payment the mortgage was burned on Monday night at F o'clock as an- nounced. The membership wept with joy while the great burden which had threatened them for several years went up in smoke. The property now is free from debt except the street improve ment debt which will be met in annual payments until cleared.
 Pastor Caldwell and Secretary Stout. who have been the prime. movers in the campaign, feel thankful to the membership, the general public and the newspapers in Phoenix for the splendid support given. The campaign was carefully planned and well-managed throughout. It was 60 days of hard. systematic work. The danger of fore closure is now passed and the church will move on in the even tenor of it's way. doing the work of a church. A | full detailed report will be published l later.

MARKET LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

The outstanding developments that guided price movements yesterday were the deferment of government in- dustrial suits and the allotment to Steel employees of stock at 92.
 The latter action forecasted the reg ular extra dividend Of per cent ar the next meeting and was so construed by the trading element.
 It is also worth noting that there has been usually a spread of three or four points in the past between the offering and market prices of the stock.
 The announcement from Washing tin anticipating another loan to be called the Third Liberty Loan" had no influence and neither did the scare ity of offerings in the time money market wherebo rrOwers are bidding six per cent for all dates.
 Copper stocks. minor sjccI indus trials and lower priced specialties should work higher before the setback comes.
 Enough call money is available on railroad collateral to cover necessary demands but there is a tendency among banks to discriminate against industrials, probably to curb any pos sible indiscriminate bull movement as well as to keep the decks cleared fos the next Liberty loan.
 While a good many of the wiser heads in Wall street were not disposed to place very much credence in the recent peace reports, yet all admitted that such rumors must be accorded a prominent place in Speculative calcu- lations. With the complete restoration of confidence in the Washington au- thorities and the investors and spccu- lators throughout the country getting ready to buy it required very little of a favorable nature to start the broad buying panic such as was witnessed yesterday and this was forthcoming in the shape of peace suggestions.

MESA AND PHOENIX
 HIGH SCHOOL TEAM WILL PLAY FRIDAY

A basketball game, one of the most important of the local season, will be featured in Mesa today. The basketball grounds at Mesa is an excellent one and will make it pos sible for many fast plays and ac- curate work.
 In defeating the Mesa boys the local high school team will have to strain themselves to the utmost, struggling for every score.
 The Mesa team is weakened slight ly by the loss of several of it's star players, the Phoenix boys are handi- capped only by lack of practice. The latter have had less time for prac- tice than the Jack rabbits, but are excellent players just the same.
 Coach Carpenter, of Phoenix, feels confident of a victory, but is also cognizant of the fact that his team will have to go some to win over their opponents. Carpenter has been drilling the Phoenix team in some new plays that are sure to startle the spectators and worry the op- posing players. The Phoenix coach has plenty of experience in coach ing basketball teams and can be counted upon to produce a ginning organization. He has had consider able practive in basketball with sev- eral colleges and is well versed in the science of the game.
 All Coyotes who have autos at their disposal are earnestly requested to help transport the P. H. $. team to its destination. Last time a game was played on foreign soil the ath- letic association gave a cash re- muneration to the Coyotes to help carry the players over. No word has as yet been given out to the effect that the same course will be followed this time. but it is prob- able that such will be the case At any rate the person who helps take the team over will be doing a real service to the school
 Following is the basketball sched- ule of games to be played this season:
 January 5-P. H. S. vs. Miami, Phoenix; boys. girls. January 10-P. H. s. vs. Tempe Normal, Phoenix; boys.
 January 17-P. H. S. vs Tempe High, Phoenix; boys. girls. January 1S-P. H. s. vs. Mesa, Phoenix; boys, girls.

GRAIN

CHICAGO. Jan. 3.-Corn advanced in price today owing more or less to uncertainty which resulted from announcement that all priority orders on the railroads had been suspended. The market closed firm, 5s to IS net higher with January s1.25 and May S1.25l4 @%. Oats gained 5s to 1c. In provisions the outcome varied from unchanged to a raise of 35c.
 Although it was generally expected that putting all classes of freight on an equality would help to re- move traffic congestion as a whole. traders inclined to a belief that at least a temporary effect, the sup ply of cars available for hauling grain would be reduced and that re- ceipts of corn here would be dimin- ished.
 This prospect appeared to have considerable to do with talk which became current in favor of a higher maximum price limit. Under such circumstances the late dealings were at virtually the topmost prices of the day
 Oats largely reflected the same in fluences that ruled the corn market. Besides country offerings to arhve were small
