New York, March 13.-After
making progress forward in the
first half hour Of trading today, the
stock market. wavercd for a time,
upon receipt of rumors that the Ger
man government had fallen.
Shortly, however, fresh buying OF steel
motor and railroad issues made its ap-
pearance. and before the end OF the trad.
Ing period some notable advances had
been scored. Notable, that is. In view of
the fact that a sizable amount OF profit
taking sales had been looked for at the
close Of a week marked by more optimism
over the credit outlook than had been ex-
pected before. In this year. Reading led
the rails wfthS an upturn Of more than
points Industrial stocks which stood In
the forefront Of this department were In
fluenced by special factors. expectations
Of stock dividends and the pinching of a
short interest but the rise of the rails
was widely distributed. Professional OPP
erations dominated, and for that reason
1t might be easy to lay too much stress
on the days advance.
a Moro Cheerful Mind.
A Wall street ended the week in a more
chserful frame OF mind than at the be-
ginning. although indications of improv-
Ing sentiment had been discerniLle the
week before. Income tax day was ap-
pIoacHeu WIN only hurry IN call money
rates. and all confidence was expressed
in banking. circles that signs Of strain
would be light. The sharp advances of
the foreign exchanges. especially OF ster-
ling, were evidently the product in the
large part OF headlong speculative OPP
erations and the quick reactions now and
then showed traders to be unwilling TO
carry on very far in one direction, yet the
quotation OF s3.67h for. sterling sight
drafts. which stood at the end Of the
week, disclosed an impressive gain from
recent discouraging levels, The idea late
ly prevailing Mn some quarters that much
deprecated exchanges forecast of them
selves coming bankruptcy for certain Eu-
ropean countries was dispeled by the rise
OF rates; Furthermore, the announced
plan OF England and France, to retire the
Anglo-Frenqh loan next autumn aided
financial sentiment on this side by show
ing that the foreign business and banking
leaders were looking far ahead and MAX
ing preparations for large transactions.
Excepting utilities, the bond market,
rcluding foreign issues, was steady to

Sheep and Lambs--Only three or tour
loads Of lambs were included In todays
receipts and prices ruled nominally
steady. Some pretty good so pound
lambs sold at 1880. The market this
wsell has been rather uneven. although h
present prices show no material change
as compared with a week ago. Good fat
lambs are closing generally steady with
inbetween and heavy grades about quar-
ter lower. Fat sheep ruled strong. De-
mand centered on choice light lambs and
these sold up to $1s.25 with a spread Of
s1S.50@o1S75 taking the bulk of the me-
dunn weights. Some prime ewes reached
$14.00 early in the week with fair to good
kinds selling down around $12.25 @13.00.

feeding lambs and demand to the country
is small. Good shearing lambs are want

THE PACKERS

The Packers have evidently
preferred to submit to a division
of their business. rather than
have the mass of evidence and
the proof of astounding profits
made public, and which might
cause a public sentiment suffi-
GENTLY strong for debarring them
from business for all time.
1t must not for an instant be
supposed that their wholesale
grocery business will be allowed
to fall into the hands of the many
hundreds of smaller merchants.
Nor will their quasi monopolies
on rice, coffee and other food sup
plies be abandoned. No doubt
these interests have all been dis
posed of, SO that the Packers still
have a controlling voice. These
monoplies. by their disregard for
the rights of the great mass of
people, for their abuse of justice,
will eventually force the govern
ment to take the control of mo-
nopolies into its own hands.
More and more, a few men are
getting control of the supplies of
the country. The prices of oil,
copper, iron, steel, -four. sugar,
rice, gold and silver are being
fixed. 1t is these men that are
precipitating a socialistic form of
government. When fifty men or
less, can determine the prices Of
the necessities of life for a whole
nation, 1t is but one step further
for the government to take over
the power of these few men. =

of Senator Hitchcock's plan to
appoint a conciliation committee.
More public pressure has been
exerted on the Senate during the
last two weeks than during the
previous FIVE months. and this
pressure is bound to increase un-
til the senate does its plain duty.
This is not the Presidents peace
treaty and it is not the senate's
peace treaty. 1t is the whole
worlds peace treaty, and now
that the country has begun to
realize it, there will be less dis
position in Washington to deal
with it in the spirit of a private
political feud."

Las Amegas Club Xmas Tree

Wednesday morning, a big
Xmas tree was brought to G. A.,
and by IL 80, twas fully bedecked
and dropping with presents for
the students.
The week before every student
had drawn number for which
he was to purchase a Xmas pres
ent, not to exceed rs cents in
value. Of course, no one knew
for whom he was buying the pres
ent, and no doubt this fact was
responsible for the large variety
of presents that old Santa had
brought.
After a short program, Old
Santa himself appeared, and be.
gan calling out the numbers on
the presents. AS the numbers
were announced, the President
of the Girls Club called out the
names to which the numbers be-
longed. and the fun began in
earnest, for every person had to
open his present and show it to
the audience before he was
allowed to go to his seat.
1t is still mystery how Old
Santa was able to find such a
variety of presents, for there
were presents ranging all the way
from a doctors prescription to a
miniature farm house.
Not a single person present
was sighted, and. after an hour
of fun and frolic, the students
wished one another a Merry Xmas
and left for home.
Old Santa did not slight the
Academy, for a check for $40. 90,
bearing the signature Of w. C.
Faulkner, found its way to the
treasurer. This has become a
habit with Mr.. Faulkner on Xmas
and the Academy hereby express
es its appreciation to him for his
splendid interest and help. We
wish many more of our patrons
would follow Mr.. Faulkner's gen.
erous example.

THE OLD EXCUSE

The reason given for a failure
to provide machinery for the
prevention of strikes is the old
familiar excuse given long ago
for failure to repair roof; viz,
that it does not need it when the
weather is good and that it can't
be repaired when it is raining.
