COFFEE MARKET.

The official coffee market advices from
Brazil were yesterday considerably bet
ter than the trade generally expected. be-
cause on the previous day cheap Rio Of
ferings were reported, leading many to
believe that the market would be lower
yesterday. Cables failed to confirm any
general weakness and Rio spots were
quoted at an advance of rs reis. 1t was
believed that whatever cheap offerings
there may have been came from shorts in
that market.
The local market opened steady at adj
vances Of % to % points, trading on the
Call being very quiet. After early buy
ing orders had been filled March sold off
from 1925 to 1915, and May from 1880
to 1915. due to lack of continued de-
mand, but at once sold back to practi-
cally initial figures. The late session
found no special feature and operators
evening up for over the week end. Final
prices were at the low point of the day,
or at net gains of Is to IS points.
Private cables reported the Santos
market firm with desirable selections es-
pecially in poor supply and In active de-
mand. Firm offers were unchanged.
The local spot market was higher and
business improved. Rio rs We're held at
1870.

STEEL PRODUCTION
IS GAINING SLOWLY
Fifth Week of Strike Output
About 60 Per Cent. of Rate
Before Struggle.
PIG IRON MARKET rs QUIET
Coke Prices Advance Sharply
and Operators Expect Them
to Increase.

! prTsBuRG, Oct. e5.-The fifth week of
tina iron and steel strike ends to-day
and production Is Just about 60 per cent.
a, the rate which existed prior to the
besinnlng Of the struggle. The low point
IN output during the first week was
triae less than SO per cent. The gains
IN production have been very SLOW and
have been only tribe more rapid in
the last three weeks than in the first
,vo. Production Of finished rolled steel
beforo the strike was at the rate of
about 100000 gross tons a month.
During the first month of the strike
there was a curtailment from normal of
more than 100000 tons. Even should
the strike begin to crumble rapidly there
still would be some production loss, per-
laps slight loss for several months, due
10 DISCRIMINATION of working forces as
some entirely new men have been en-
ployed. and some workers have shifted
from plants closed to those that lost only
parts of their forces. The total de-
fciency of production because Of the
strike cannot fall below 100000 tons
at the most, but It is hard to imagine
such prolongation of the struggle that
would mean more than 100000 tons
deficiency. Those tonnages are in con-
trast with 100000 tons a year, the
rate of production before the strike, and
100000 tons, a rate easily attainable
by the industry If fully and efficiently
manned.
Mill and furnace operations in western
Pennsylvania continue to reflect daily a
closer approach to normal, but progress
Is very slow indeed. Remaining strikers
are yielding only to slight extent At
Youngstown there is extremely slow ex-
pansion OF the nucleus of operations that
began two weeks ago. One steel plant
there is operating only three open hearth
furnaces, or only 20 per cent Of the
plant, and tonnages are understood to
stand no chance of classifying as records.

WHERE SANTA WAS BORN
Russian Legend Of Saint Klaus and
How He Came to Be Known as
the Children's Friend.

Very many years ago there lived In
Russia q nobleman and his wife, who
had little son named Klaus. He was
such a good boy that everyone used to
call him Saint Klaus. In course OF
time his parents died and left him
large fortune, not the least part Of
which was three large bars of gold.
Saint Klaus one day happened to be
passing house, and overheard
father telling his daughters that he
had lost all his money, and that he
didn't even know how he was going
to buy food for them. This worried
Saint Klaus very much, and he won
tiered how he could help them. SO
that night he took one of the bars OF
gold and threw 1t through the window.
The next night he threw the second
bar, and crept quietly away, but on
the third night when he was ab0u. to
throw the third bar, the man who
, had lost all his money came out and
caught him. He tried to thank Saint
Klaus for his goodness to him and his
daughters, but Saint Klaus told him
to pay his thanks to God, whose serv-
ant he was.
And there, boys and girls, you have
the story of Saint Klaus tor Santa
Claus as We call him).

MAKE SOME SAD HEART GLAD
Christmas the Time Tor Remembering
Those Not 40 Fortunate

Christmas is sad time in some
households, among the older members
who miss familiar faces always assO-
ciated with family gatherings-a list
of missing ones which increases as the
years go by. But If 1t is impossible
to be happy ones self, 1t is always pos
sible to make some one else rejoice
this is an easier task than some people
imagine. So many are so foolish as to-
think that because they cannot give
beautifully that 1t is not worth while
TO give at all. They forget that what
seems very little to person in COM
Portable circumstances may appear
very large to those who have virtually

small gift, bearing some sign OF
thoughtfulness is often more accepta-
BILE than costly but ill-chosen pres
ent. This Is an excellent time to go
over the children's toys and select
those which can be spared to go to
some less fortunate little ones. Do
not select only those which are too
battered to be recognizable; such, Of
course, are not to be despised, but
little glue and few stitches to fresh
en- up broken doll or torn book add
much to the pleasure of a secondhand

things and it is, besides, scarcely gen.
erous to give away only such articles
as would otherwise be thrown in the

LESSON OF CHRISTMAS DAY
Example of Christ Should Inspire Un-
seIfishness and Make us Try to
Remedy Faults.

Christmas should inspire world of
unselfishness. The example before us
is almost too perfect, for it rather
frightens us to attempt such divine
heights of self-abnegation, but we can
try. 1t will at least take us from the
depths of selfishness, where most of us
now are. Each Christmas day should
teach us something of the lesson of
the Holy Child's life.
IL we could learn from Christmas,
today and in the succeeding years the
serious lessons of seif-betterment and
ennoblement it has to offer, how in
finitely better it would be than just
to look on it as holiday for gifts and
feasts, for extravaganza and foolish
ness.
So take an hour or two off on
Christmas day and give 1t up to retro
spective and self-inspection. You will
each find faults, If you judge yourself
impartially, for no one is perfect. Then
make serious determination to try
to overcome those faults, for only try
ing to improve is there any growth In
character. If you are satisfied with
yourself you stay just as you are with
all your faults and virtues. But II
you try hard to remedy the faults your
character is constantly growing broad
er. This is the lesson. which Christ
mas day has for each of you.

Like a slowly silenced bell;
The sacred calm OF peace divine
Like benediction fell;
And out on the morning light that spread
A glimmer Of amber gray.

On an old, old Christmas Day.
A bland, mild day-for the rugged month
Had chosen kindly mood,
Like a wonderful mellow aftermath
From the Autumn's plenitude.
With scarcely tang of wholesome cold
Did the Winters breezes blow,
Az Margery walked from church with me
On Christmas long ago
The earnest words that had touched our
hearts
The warnings, kindly and wise
Had left a shadow OF tenderness
In Margery's violet eyes;
The merry. hoydenish maid ia known
For twelvemonth's flying space,
Had taken on that old Christmas Day.
new and womanly grace.
AS through the tremulous opal clouds
That shifted and swayed apart,
A sun ray lighted the rosy face,
The wish was born In my heart
That down the trail of the unspent years.
Whatever their trend might be.
The soft-eyed maiden beside me then,
Might walk to the end with me.
Absentiy watching the velvet fakes
BY the white gale set a-wing,
/ breathe the spirit Of other years
While the bells of Yuletide ring:
And near me, smiling with happy eyes
At our children's romping play,
Is the girl who walked from church with
me
On that old, sweet Christmas Day.
