The promise was given that the Gov

duce expenditures.
After sitting continuously for twenty
two and half hours the House of Com
mons rose at :15 o'clock this afternoon.
The long session was caused by last

The session was somewhat unusual
II was expected that Parliament would
prorogue about o'clock, but there was
difficulty In adjusting the differences be-
tween the two houses over the agricul-
ture bill, which had been tossed about
from Lords to Commons and from Com
mons to Lords throughout the evening.
This resulted In delay. The Lords in
sisted on their amendment and the Gov
ernment suffered four defeats In success
sion. and In most of these cases the
House OF Commons had. perforce. to ac-
cept these amendments to prevent the

VENICE. Italy, Dec 23.-In addition to
playing Santa Claus to thousands of
refugees at Cattaro and Ragusa, the

APPEALS FOR CONFIDENCE

Paris, Dec. %.
The Russians are able to handle the
Bolshevist situation without allied as
slstance. although they will always be
grateful for the moral support of the
Allies. says Boris Savinkoff, a Russian
patriot now in Warsaw, in an appeal
for confidence printed in the Eclair
here.
"Kolchak. Denilsine. Yudenitch and
Wrangel all fell because they were sup
ported by the Allies and were unable
to obtain the confidence of the Russian
peasants" he said. But now the peas
ants are revolving The insurgent move
ment is growing in the regions of Pskoff
and Novgorod. and it will soon spread
throughout the Ukraine and Southern
Russia under Gen. Balachevitch.''
In Gen. Balachevitch NJ. Savinkoff
sees ''the genius for whom the Russian
nation has been waiting"
"He is not in need of either cannon or
money" NJ. Savinkoff said. HE has
been able to form nucleus of $4,000
bayonets. and he has built up tre-
mendous circle of influence, which has
caused Leon Trotzky TO declare that
Gen. Balachevitch is more dangerous
than was either Denikine or Wrangel
"I want to tell the Americans. the
English, the French and the Poles and,
in fact, all the nations, that the anti
Bolshevist forces do not want soldiers
but merely the constant sympathy OF
these nations"
Information received In Paris is to the
effect that Gen. Balachevitch intends TO
try to oppose the offensive which the
Bolshevild threaten to make against
Rumana next spring, and is already ad-
vising the Russian peasants to refuse to
construct pontoons which the Bolshevild
are hastily preparing.

Mining and Financial NelUS LEASED WIRE
STOCKS AND BONDS
BY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, July 16. - The stock
 and money markets played at cross
 purposes again during the great part
 of today's professional session, with
 resultant additional price impairment
 of popular issues.
 This condition underwent partial re- adjustment in the last hour however, when call money relaxed. Instead of rising to yesterdays maximum quota ton of II per cent or higher, the rate fell to eight per cent, plenty of funds being available at that figure. AS a matter of record most of the days money was placed at g per cent, renewals also being made at that rate. Interior banks were reported to have made loans on commercial paper at 8 per cent, but the ruling quotations here were slightly above that price.
 Trading in stocks slightly exceeded recent averages, but activity was most marked when prices were on the down grade, rails almost alone reflecting special concessions. The final rally was more in the nature of short cov- erings than an accession of buying power, an irregular tone prevailing at the close. Sales amounted to 5S5,000 shares.
 The industrial situation, particular ly affecting the automobile trade and kindred lines, formed the basis of un- favorable discussion and shares of those groups, with equipments, constr tuted the weakest issues of the gen. eral list.
 Transportation conditions were wis ibly better but labor developments and foreign trade tendencies seemed to enter into the calculations of the short interest Exchange on leading European centers showed no appreci- | able alteration. Railroad, Liberty and miscellaneous bonds were disposed to recat moderately, with foreign issues featureless. Total sales, par value, ag- gregated 10,250,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
