 Andy Chaney, of Baltimore leading rival of kilhanc. and Tommy Noble former featherwcight champion of England. were next on tho program in a scheduled To- round bout Chaney took the lead early in the contest. delivering effective lefts to the face and heavy rights to the body. Noble was aggressive. but outclassed in box ing and hitting. In the later rounds Noble clinched consistently and a thoroughly beaten boxer at the close of the 10th round The judges had difficulty in selecting Chaney the winner.
 Joe Benjamin. the California lightweight weighing I55 pounds. and Pete Hartley. a veteran. weighing 15e 1-i. were contestants in a scheduled 1o-round bout.

Dullness in Forenoon Gives

NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-Trading in

Liverpoors strength, the local mar

first prices were only to l3 points

cause of the issuance Of two not

The market was so narrow that
it was readily affected by compare
lively small orders throughout the
first hour. Local traders sold and
there was scattering Wall Street Ii
Guidation. AS SOON as these offer
ings had been absorbed, however,
the market rallied on covering
which was promoted by the com
parative absence of southern hedge
selling. Active months worked some

figures, but there was no snap to
the buying and the Improvement

Prices turned firmer toward one

Australia MOdifes
Imports Exchange Rate

Mark Sheldon, commissioner for
the commonwealth OF Australia, in
New York City, in a report to the
Department of Commerce yesterday.
declared that General Order 643 OF
the Australian Department of Trade
and Customs provided in connection
with importations of goods from
countries which have adopted the
gold standard, that the rate of ex =
change was to be taken regardless
of the invoiced or bank rate of ex-
change. in accordance with the mint
age par rate. Thus, hitherto. i'm
portations from the United States
have been dealt with for duty pur-
poses on an exchange rate of s4.S6
to the pound sterling.
official advices have just been re-
ceived by cable from Australia, the
report said. that this practice of the
Department of Trade and Customs
has been overruled in the courts, and
that consequently the order has been
cancelled. Importations into Aus
tralia from all countries will in the
future be dealt with for duty pur-
poses on the basis of the bank rate
OF exchange cArent at date of shin
ments.
Thus. for duty purposes, invoice
values of goods shipped from the
United States today will be convert
ed at the rate OF s3.44, the current
rate OF exchange, instead of at the
previous fixed rate of s4.ss to one
pound sterling.

ed with freight and couldn't dnd
cars enough to meet pressing needs.
Iooay they have surplus of cars
and not enough freight to fill them.
This is particularly true Of open-top
equipment.
Ihe situation is aggravated by
The fact that farmers are holding
grain and lumbermen holding lum-
Der. A month or two or three hence,
when the skies brighten a bit. there
may be rush from all quarters to
get building material, farm prod
ucts and goods in general distrib-
uted. Then, unless efforts are made
meanwhile 10 prevent IL, the rAii
roads Will lAc overtaXed again and
the car shortage" will be acute.
There is a simple method OF abst-
ing this trouble. The Railway Age
points IL out. Vast appropriations
have been made by States, counties
and municipalities for road build
ing. For every mile Of highway
built or improved material equal to
100 carloads is required. Why not
use the open-top cars now idle for
hauling the stone and other stur
that goes into the making OF roads?
Coal stocks throughout the coun-
try are not large. 1t would be
easier to move coal now than IL viii
be few months later. Lumber
stocks in the cities are low. re-
tailers had better stock UP today.
They'll find the demand insistent
when il comes. and II is not likely
to be long delayed. Retailers of all
kinds and character throughout the
land have been holding of from or
dering spring goods. They may find
difficulty in getting supplies Il they
hold back much longer.
Railroads get freight in heavy
volume four months in the year.
and in small volume for eight
months. when Andrew Carnegie
said that in the steel industry IL
was case OF feast or a famine
he might have used the same terms
regarding the railroad business.
In helping the railways you help
yourself. The abrupt swings from
peaks to pits and pit to peaks in
transportation are costly to every
department of life in the country.
Uniformity or an approximation OF
uniformity in movement Of traffic
would bring about a great economy.
1t is a necessity today The equip
ment OF the transportation lines is
not sufficient to meet extraordinary
demands.
Certainly such a change in traffic
as the records of the two months Of
ctOober and November show, when
there was a difference Of &c per cen;
in the volume. should be warning
enough. There will be a big move
ment of farm products in the spring.
There will he big movement Of
general material in the spring. II
you do not want TO be caught in
the jam it would be wise to get
your stuff moving now. This advice
applies not only TO merchants. but
roadbuilders and suppliers of every
kind and character.

Unofficial Estimate Places
Shortage at 100000.
Officials Worried.

Secretary of the Treasury Houston
and~other Officials yesterday were
anxfously trying to learn whether
big business tax creditors of the
government have paid their debts.
Approximately sS50,O00.o00 should
have been in the hands OF the gov
ernment yesterday as the fourth
lnstallment OF taxes on income and
excess profits earned in 1919. Most
or the money was due from million
aire partnerships and corporations,
the majority of 1000, 900 small tax
payers having paid their taxes in
the hrst and second installments,
due March Is and June Is.
Instead of s650.00O. 900, the col
lections really totaled less than
$500, 100000, il was estimated un-
ohicially' here yesterday.
Corporation heads for weeks have
been demanding an extension OF
time to pay up. on the ground that
business has been bad" and many
are believed to have defaulted pay
ments when they were due Wednes-
day.
Many came to me asking an ex-
tension" said William NJ Williams.
Commissioner of the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau. Il told them that I
had no authority to grant an ex-
tension of the time"
Internal Revenue Bureau officials
yesterday were waiting telegraphic
reports from collection Offices in all
parts of the country. Until these
are received they refused officially

whether the total collection came

Money was urgently needed to meet

ury and pay off millions in loans
maturing within a few weeks. II

the government is likely to face a

commissioner W illiamS secuted the
estimates of a shortage. There is
no Justification for any estimate of
a shortage in the absence of exact
reports from the districts" said
Williams.
Mccoy Makes Statement.
Joseph s. Mccoy. Treasury De-
partment actuary. said he thought
some corporations would fail to pay
the full amounts due. But the total
won't run to $500. 900. .0OO." he said.
Mccoy pointed out that a corpora
tion which fails to pay the full
amount is subject to a penalty. The
penalty begins at per cent of the
amount unpaid and increases ac-
cordinG to the length of time of the
oGfault.
Under this kystem the govern
ment would receive large amounts
in penalties n the default totaIed
anything like 5000. 900. 900. But this
is cold comfort for Secretary Hous-
ton and other officials under tho
necessity OF meeting the govern
ment's obligations on time.

Large Foreign Demand
Develops in Wheat Mart

In their daily wheat letter issued
at the close of yesterdays market,
Thomson and Mckinnon. brokers.
said. in part: IAN Unexpectedly large
foreign demand for wheat overnight
developed this morning in the way
of reports from the seaboard, con-
firmed by the character of the ue-
mand for. the deferred deliveries.
The close of lake navigation and
completion of harvest in Argentina,
generally being a cessation of ex-
port business in this country at this
time of the year. In the face of
these conditions the volume of for
eiEn demand is quite significant. 1t
Is rumored the government of North
Dakota will request holders of
wheat to market portion of their
holdings in order to relieve the finan-
cial situation. Any increase in Of
ferings might be opportune. as it
was claimed today that foreigners
were unable to fulfill all of their
needs because of scarcity of offer

us UP TO CONGRESS"
Action Would Add to Diff.
Guilty of Meeting Obliga-
tions, He Declared.

In discussing the proposed re-es-
tablishments OF the War Finance
Corporation before the House Bank
ing and Currency Commission yes
terday, Secretary of the Treasury
Houston asserted that many inter
ests throughout the United States
would be disappointed IL they had
my idea that the corporation would
let loose hundreds OF millions Of dol
lars in extended credits. He declared
that Treasury officials were of the
opinion that the corporations lend
ing power should be restricted.
Chairman McFadden asked the
Secretary II the corporation was re-
vived If a shifting" Of loans from
private banks to the Finance CorSo-
ration would not occur. The Secre-
tary said that he did not know to
what extent the financial activities
Of corporations had progressed. but
believed that since the War Finance
Corporation had ceased its functions
private enterprise had obtained
financial assistance to some extent
from other financial concerns.
The Secretary further declared
that IL II was deemed advisable for
the government to go into the bank
ing business in time of peace, IL was
the prerogative OF Congress to say
so. His opinion, he said, was in op-
position to the re-establishment of
the War Finance Corporation, ans!
he believed that the sentiment of the
country was against continuing any
war agencies.
The Treasury. Mr.. Houston said,
vas indebted to the War Fipancc
Corporation, to the extent of s374,-
100000. II the corporation is re-
vived, the Treasury. he said. would
have to borrow this sum of money TO
finance its operations.
Members of the commission then
discussed through the Secretary the
advisability of the corporation sell
ing bonds. Mr.. Houston said the
terms would have to be attractive.
and If they offered an investment.
the bonds would compete with the
sale of Treasury certificates. This
would increase the borrowings of the
government and to the difficulty OF
meeting the governments obliga-
tions.

MARKET GAINS
LOSTAT CLOSE
Spectators Force Wave of
Buying-Gyain Has
Little Change.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1S.-The British
Royal Commission was back in the
market today and this resulted in a
wave of speculative buying that
eliminated in sharp advances. Italy
and Spain also bought literally.
The market was unable to hold ad
vances, however. and the close
found prices about where they
started. Favorable crop reports
from Argentina and lower corn
prices were the principal bearish in
fiuences. The close found price,
unchanged to q cent lower.
Lower prices were made for corn
right at the start, but there was an
advance OF 2 cents following the
upturn in wheat. Covering by
shorts was a factor and commission
house buying was fair. The advance
met with heavy selling. New low
figures for the crop were estab-
lished for both May and July deliv-
cries. Corn futures closed Is to
Ia cents lower. while the cash ar
ticle was unchanged to l cent lower.
Oats followed the lead of other
grains. Commission houses sold
freely on all rallies. Buying against
the bids gave the market support
at times. The demand for oats from
the East was broader. At the close
futures were off y to q cent.
Rye was strong early and showed
only moderate declines at the close.
Barley was strong for December.
but weak for May delivery.
Provisions met with some support
from the packers. Prices rallied
and at the close pork showed an
advance of 80 cents: and was l2
cents lower to Z cents higher and
ribs 2is cents lower to cents
higher. Lard was working toward
a carrying charge basis. May gain
ing materially on January.

MEN AND BUSINESS
By RICHARD SPILLANE.

From the way the flush comes to
his cheeks when you ask TO see his
medal, you wouldn't suppose Joe
Sweeney had lost a lot of blood.
Sweeney is q brakeman of the Bal
timore and Ohio in Philadelphia
One OF the other employees. Thomas
]. Thornton, was run over by a
train in the East Side yard and
had both legs crushed. Sweeney
helped to get the desperately
wounded man to the Polytechnic Hos
pital. The doctors said there might
be a chance to save Thornton's life
by TRANSMISSION of blood.
Take mine" said Sweeney.
The physicians pumped blood out
Of Sweeney's veins until they. had
all they could inject into those OF
Thornton, but IT was in vain. Thorn
ton died.
Sweeney went back to work weak
and detected. The weakness, was
from the blood he bad lost. the de-
lection from sympathy for his friend
now dead. The Polytechnic people
had tried to praise Sweeney. but
the brakeman told them to forget
it" and. above all things, say moth
ing about it.
But the story got out, and the
officials OF the Baltimore and Ohio
determined to act. So IL was that
representatives of nearly all de-
partments of the company were
called together and Sweeney was
summoned and then c. W. Gallo
way, vice president. in charge OF
operation and maintenance. made
speech in which he said the B. & q.
r.
type of true manhood and. as the
B. G. o. had a pride and joy in
Sweeney, so Mr.. Galloway had in
giving his medal to the brakeman.
Then everybody shook hands with
Sweeney and thanked and congrat-
ulated him. and everybody seemed
to be much pleased except Joe.
who was red-faced and unconforta-
bic throughout the ceremony.
Probably he felt better later when
he was alone and when he looked
at the golden shield. which told
that it was
Presented by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company TO
Joseph Sweeney, who gave his
blood in TRANSMISSION in an effort
to save the life of a fellow en-
ploye."
On the reverse side of the medal
is represented an angel lowering
over the PROSTATE form of man
on the railroad tracks. Joe Sweeney
is not an angel and is not likely
to be. He simply is an Abou Ben
Adhem of the railroad yards and.
like Ben Adhem. may his tribe in
crease.

and uniformity of movement in

from which the nation suffers would
