Market and Industrial News of the Day.
FINANCIAL

New York. Dec. 6,-Stocks were dull and
uncertain of tone at the outset of today's
short session, but became fairly active and
firm toward the end, short covering accel-
Grating the Irregular rally.
Recent favorites In the motor and oil
divisions were superseded BY standard
Rails. notably the Pacifics tobaccos and
food and sugar shares. the latter making
significant response on greatly enlarged
dealings to the approaching withdrawal Of
federal control.
The coal situation and the Mexican at
fairs again were included among the re-
strainfng influences OF the day. although
in a less degree than recently. Hcaviness
Of oils with Mexican connections was at
conditions.
Several of the steels and equipments
were under pressure as result of reports
Of new financing and recapitallzatiAn
plans, but extreme losses In most OF those
stocks were partly retrieved at the end.
Sales amounted to 100000 shares.
There was active trading in bonds, es-
pecially Liberty and Victory issues At con-
cessions but internationals made slight
improvement Total sales (par value)
aggregated sl2.950,00o.
Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call
during the week,
Foreign exchange was once more de-
maralixed and trade reviews referred 10
ftfrther reduction of steel and iron produce
ton, but record bank clearings reflected
the mounting retail holiday business all
over the country.
Another actual decrease Of about $tc,-
100000 in clearing house loans and dis
counts reduced the total of that item to
S1&.105, 500, 900. or approximately $3S0,000,-
600 under the high peak OF two months
ago.

ton of the population laying i'll a
supply of food, but the prosperous
class with hundreds of automobiles
are daily loaded with the various

That the high cost of living is
being given body blow is evil
denced by the rush that is constant
ly surging at the store. Sweet corn,

said to be of the best quality, that

Stocks Show Upward Trend
Durinu Tradinu of Week

New York, Dec. 6.-The trend of prices
10 the stock market this week excepting
Interpretations where further weakness
wash manifested, was mostly towards fur
Their recovery from the mid November
setback, but the investment situation as
measured by demand continued unsatis-
factory
In large part the weeks improvement in
stocks was made possible by the obstancy
Of the short interest which again over
played its position with disastrous results
in several Of the closely held speculative
shares.
Sentiment among traders was more
cheerful as evidenced by apparent indif-
ference to such unfavorable developments
as the menacing coal situation, the Next
can crisis and the further extraordinary
shrinkage In foreign exchange.
These conditions were neutralized to
degree by the easier money rates and In
dications that many OF the leading manu-
featuring industries had increased their
productive capacity despite the handicap
imposed by labor unrest.
Apart from the new discounts establish
ed by remittances to London and con-
tinental Europe there were additional
cross currents In the International finan-
oial situation. Heavy exports Of gold
from this market to South and Central
America probably originated In London
and Paris and American bankers believed
that further extensive shipments in pay
ment of raw materials are probable.

Many Montana and
Idaho Cattle Placed
On Market Every Day

That the South Side stock mar
ket includes aawide scope of terri
tory is evidenced by the fact that
shipments are received daily from
points in both Montana and Idaho.
Charles H. Parmley of Glenns
Ferry, Idaho, brought m several
cars of cattle Saturday and got a
good price. He said he had about
900 more head that would be brought
to the local market next spring.
Several Idaho stockmen have
been bringing their cattle to the
South Side market" said Parmley,
as they seem to be greatly salts
fed with the square treatment
given them. Many of the cattle are
being pastured on the Boise river
range in the summer. Bears are a
great source of trouble, several
head of cattle having been killed
by the bears which last summer
became SO bold. they went into one
farmers barnyard and killed three
tat hogs"

D'ANNUNZIO PLANS
STARTLING MOVE
TO FURTHER AIMS
Instigating Uprisings in Monte
negro and Albania and
Against Jugo~Slavs.

London. Dec. 6.-Gabriele Dan
nunzio, the insurgent Italian leader
at Fiume, and his adherents in Italy
have arranged the most startling
and ambitious scheme for the ad-
vancement OF their cause yet under
taken, revolving about an attack
on Spalato in the mime diate future.
according to private advices from
Dalmatian sources which are usu-
ally well informed.
Efforts are being made, it is de-
clared, to instigate uprisings IN
Montenegro and Albania coihcident
with the Spalato assault, it is de-
clared. while the Bulgarians are be-
ing urged to attack the Jugo-Slavs::
Those favoring the annexation OF
Dalmatia are said to have sent mis-
sions into Albania and Montenegro
to foment trouble, but the success
attending these projects is unknown.
At the same time it is stated guns
and war materials have actually
been delivered in Bulgaria for use
against the JugoSlavs.
Observers express the belief that
the projected campaign reported IS
not entirely D,Annunzio's plan, but
was conceived and supported by his
adherents i'll Italy.
Meanwhile $4,000 Jugo-Slav
troops in Dalmatia are said to be
ready TO fight on the slightest sign
of aggression from the Italians.
1t is believed further that Serbia
is ready to employ all of her re-
sources to defend what she con-
siders her rights in the position
The situation is decidedly intense
and dispatches from Paris indicate
that the peace delegates in particu-
lar are making every effort to solve
the Adriatic problem speedily.

Acute Coal Shortage Has
Affect On Trading of Week

Chicago, Dec e.-Anxiety regarding coal
shortage together with the fact that the
visible supply Of corn 10 one Of the small
est on record has tended during the last
week to make corn prices average higher.
Quota tons this morning compared with
a week ago varied from NC decline to
gains Of 2kc. Oats showed an advance
Of &c % &c. In provisions the net diff
ference ranged from so cents less to $3.50
upturn.
Although month end liquidation on the
part Of holders who had no government
license brought about something OF a tum-
BILE Of prices in the corn market, the drop
was soon more than offset by attention
to the scantiness Of the stock Of corn
here at other primary centers and by an
ticipations that as a result OF coal strike
developments the movement OF corn from
rural sources would be moro restricted
than had before seemed likely. Shutting
down Of big industries. however. as well
as new low records for British exchange
did much to temper bullish sentiment
later, and so likewise did evidence that
reduction of general freight had enabled
the railways to enlarge their handling OF
corn.
:. Export sales gave some Independent
firmness to oats.
Slackness OF demand for lard was a
feature in provisions.

Chicago, Dec. 6,--Unusual strength in

ascribed to active export demand had a
bullish effect today on corn The close
for corn was unsettled. NC to 1&c net
higher, with January $1.36@1.36k and
May $1.33% @1.337s. Oats finished v q
NC up and provisions unchanged to de-
cline of &c.
Before the advance, due to the infu-
enoe of rye and barley, the corn market
was on the downgrade Continued liberal
receipts of corn, together with lower quo-'
tations on hogs, was chiefly responsible,
although some selling resulted from fuel
shortage interference with the operation
OF grain elevators here. Gossip, however,
that big purchases OF rye were in prog
ress on foreign accountS gave 4 different
aspect to the corn trade, especially rs bar
ley was sympathizing with rye and there
was also much talk Of the high cost OF
spring wheat flour. Need of week.end
adjustment of open deals tended further
to lift corn as the session neared the
close.
