DAILY MARKET NEWS, LOCAL AND GENERAL

since selling prices and wages in
the steel industry have been reduced
there is more confidence in value ami
oprations have recovered from 25 to
40 per cent. The decrease in steel rails
from S45 to $40 has brought in a large
'olume OF new orders. Similarly the
recent cut in rubber tire prices is en-
couraging dealers and consumers to
come into the market. and the same
applies TO price cuts on automobiles.
In judging when the general spend
ing power of the public will become
normal, there are two sources to con-
slider. First, the demand which
comes from increased employment
and payrolls in those lines affiliated
with new construction work, includ-
ing the steel mills and producers of
building materials.
The belief persists among those
who have large constructive projects

freight rates, so that normal spend
Ing power will not be witnessed in
the steel industry and construction
lines until further establishments are
made.
The second important source Of pur-
chasing power is the farmer His con-
sumption will not become normal un-
I'll year hence.
The farmer, who traded five bush
els of corn for pair of shoes when
corn was $3.50 a bushel. now finds
that he must exchange 25 or 80 BUSH
els for the same pair of shoes with
corn selling between 25 and IS cents
bushel on the farm. The same un-
favorable comparison applies to the
purchase of all sorts of clothing and
| equipment.
The most difficult problem of the
next four months is to persuade labor
that wages in transportation, coal
mining and the building trades must
come down TO restore normal produc-
tion and commerce.

GERMAN PROGRAM
BY NINE. CADSKI
THRILLS AUDIENCE
Versatility of Wagnerian
!, Artistic Features Con-
cert at Willard Hotel.

Before an audience dotted with
diplomats, Nine. Johanna Gadski
presented an entirely German pro-
gram at her Concert Diplomati-
que" at the willard Hotel last
night, and won enthusiastic re-
sponse. The remarkable versatility
with which she moved from a
Brahms lullaby, the beloved ''Wieg-
enlied." to the heroic strains OF
wagner, was the outstanding fea-
ture of her performance.
Nine. Gadski has 4 en- dramatic
sense. and last night she sang with
a hne sympathy and comprehen-
sion. Her opening number, Schu-
mann's "Widmung." was cold, but
the three Schubert songs that con-
stituted her first group, Die For
elle. "Nachstueck," and the ia
miliar "Erlkoenig" were vibrant.
Her delicate bits were very charm
ing, and her high tones clear and
full. "Erlkoenig" she sang with a
vigor and dramatic intensity that
few prima donnas attain. Clinging
to the more popular classics, Gadski
sang Bohme's Still vie die Nacht'
for an encore.
Primarily WaEnerian artistic,
her selections were well chosen for
bringing again before her public
the tremendous wonder OF that COM
poser. 'Isolde's Narrative" and
"1solde's Love Death" are still the
most profoundly moving love
songs in the vast mass of such
music. and kadski sang them with
complete control and compelling
style and feeling. Her Brahms
numbers. 'Liebestreu." "Wiegen-
lied. and Won Ewiger Liebe" were
enchanting. Probably the most
thrilling portion of her performance
was "Brunhilde's Cry" which she
sang for an encore. with vigor and
excitement.
Nine. kadski is fortunate in hav-
ing FOR an accompanist very ex-
ceilent artiste.s Mrs. Marco Hughes
adds distinct value to the per-
formance by her perfect under
standing and noteworthy technique.

VIENNA RADICALS
CLAIM DISTRESS

Sympathy Expressed for
1886 Persons Arrested ,
For Stealing.

VIENNA, Dec. 4.-The 400 Com
munsts who were arrested in cor
nection with the riots last Thurs-
day explain that the destruction
was actuated by a desire to d-sract
attention to the distress and the re-
'duced standard of living. ThcIe is
considerable sympathy toward the
rioters among the middle classes,
educational staffs and Americans
and other foreigners.
The Communists believe that the
lavish spending and display Of the
profiteers with overjeweled women
and fat, overfed guests, throwing
thousands of kronen into cnam-
pagne ard gayety, is not IN keep
ing with the real Viennese lie.
In the meanwhile the government
has ordered the suspension Of the
Red Flag, the Communists olflciai
journal. and has taken steps to
curb the radical elements. There
are 10000 organized Communists in
the city.
Official statistics show that 147
shops and cafes suffered total or
partial destruction or were looted.
The police arrested 335 persons for
having stolen jewels and other loot
in their possession.
In the rioting twenty-one police
men and twenty-six civilians were
injured. The government has ex-
pressed it's regrets to foreign rep
resentatives for damage suffered
by foreigners.
Col. Causey, OF the American
army. cautioned newspapermen in
regard to the writing of stories
indicating that pillaginG and de-
