FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
sATrRpAY MARKET

Nv York. Dec. 1.-The stock market ended the week in more or less confusion and disorder by reason of renewed selling of the general list. including dividend and non-dividend paying rails.
 Announcement over night that the Bos- and Maine road had postponed dividends on it's preferred shares emphasized the recent statement of New England rail- way officials respecting tn precarious fin- aneial position of railroads there.
 Suspension of the dividend on Fisk Rubber drew renewed attention to the present state of the automobile industry and it's related specialtes. Other new adV1ces were mainly discouraging.
 Apart from losses sustained by rails. recessions in prominent issues comprising the oil. motor, steel equipment and food group ranged from ? to : points, shorts continuing their operations with conf dence. Sales amounted to 475,000 shares.
 Loans and discounts of local banks during the week decreased by a little more than $500, 900. despite' the weeks heavy liquidation of stocks. Holdings pf members at the Federal Reserve bank showed a nominal contraction and an in- crease of about s43,7oO,O OoO in net de- mand deposits almost offset the preceding weeks decrease.

NARDING AND HOOVER
 TALK OVER PROBLEMS

Marion, O., Dec. 12.-The league of fations deadlock and other problems to be faced by the next administration were talked over by President-elect Harding and Herbert Hoover, conspic- 7ousf advocate of the league who came to Marion as one of the first men to be tummoned by Mir. Harding in his prom ased meeting of minds
 We went over about the whole gamur of world and national troubles" said Mr Hoover after the conference, and we solved none of them"
 Besides the league, international con- 4ltions and European relations were the particular subjects on which the presl- dent-elect sought the advice of his wis., tor, and there were also references in their talk to appointments Mr. Harding IS to make in constructing his adminis- lration. Mir. Hoover frequently has been mentioned for possible membership in the sabinet, but he said tcdays discussion of appointments was casual and not con- elusive.
 Tomorrow Mir. Harding will see Elihu Root, a former secretary of state and recently an adviser in the formation of ! world court under the Versailles league covenant. Their conference, generally accounted one of the most important of the long series to be held here. is ex- pected primarily to concern the league and related subjects
 In giving his advice on an interna- tional peace concert, Mir. Hoover is un- derstood to have argued strongly that portions of the Versailles covenant used in whatever world association the in- | coming administration may attempt tc build. He said material changes must be enade in the treaty, but took the posi-. tion that the frame work embodied in il | should be utilized as far as possible. Among other things. Mir. Hoover de. clared the amount of indemnity to bt paid by Germany. left indefinite by tho peace treaty, should be fixed at an early date, so that German industry coult gauge its activities to fix the tax of pay

THE rorcH OF HUMAN HANDS.

Among the hills of Galilee. Through crowded city ways, The Christ of God went forth to heal And bless in olden days The shining and the sad of heart In anxious throngs were massed To catch the Great Physicians eyo And touch Him as He passed. We have not in our hours of need His seamless garments pressed. Nor felt His tender human hand On us in blessing rest; Yet still in crowded eify streets The Christ goes forth again. Whenever touch of human hand Bespeaks good will to men. Whenever man his brother man Upholds in helpfulness.. Whenever strong and tender clasp A lonely heart doth bless, The Christ Of God Is answering A stricken worlds demands, And leading back a wandering race By touch of human hands.
