THE MARKETS


New York, Dec. 1s-AltbouSb
weekend developments were main
ly favorable. today's stock market
moved irregularly in almost ali
branches. Rails and few affili-
ated issues were the only pronni-
nent exceptions.
Selling pressure was mora or less
general in high grade oils. also con
pers, sugars, rubbers and unclas SSH :
ned specialties. Heaviness of Mex
leans was ascribed to reports from
Standard Oil sources which re-
ferred in pessimistic tones to oil
conditions in Mexico.
Coalers were the chief features of
the railway division, Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western making
rurther response to prospects
or an extra dividen distri-
button. Some grangers and cotton
carriers. notably Atchison, Atlantic
Coast Line and New Orleans. Texas
and Mexico, were firm to strong.
Sporadic gains and losses marked
the uncertain course of food chem
ical, fertilizer. tobacco and chain
store issues. Final prices were not
much altered by the sudden rise of
call money from to per cent.
Sales $4,000 shares.
Constructive incidents included a
reduction of the federeal reserve
bank at Atlanta, brisk recovery in
international currencies and more
foreign financing for round
amounts by American Bankers.

VERSE OF TODAY
HERE!

Here Is the place to be happy and here is the place
to show
The secret to friends and comrades as over the
road we go.
Here is the place for laughter and here Is the
place for song.
And here is the place to set our hearts 10 the las
of helping along
Here is the harbor and haven OF all things beauty
would seem,
And here Is the place Of the vision that blooms
from the bud of dream.
Here is the place to be honest and true and sure
For the tasks and trust that are dutys must,
and that forever endure.
Here is the place of beginning of toll for the des-
tined end,
And never a crown in heaven TIL we've earned II
here, my friend,

"WHEN DO WE PAVE?"

The dominant sueston of the A Z. F.
when do we eat?" That was not the chief bust
of the expeditionary forces. of course but 1t
was an important part Of the days routine. 1t was
basic Upon it depended the stability of troops
Frequently in Albuquerque the question is raised.
when do we pave?" To be doing
little each year; quite little in some years. Yet
the great bulk of street surface is unpaved and
the majority Of citizens feel thai progress
Ing rapidly enough in that direction.
or fifty cities about the size of Albuquerque but
located in the middle and central west, 40 have
higher percentage of paved streets than does Albu
querque. These cities were selected at random with
out previous knowledge Of the amount of street i'm
provement there
The average number OF blocks of streets in the
fifty cities selected-all of 10000 population or
slightly more-is 1902. Adding the districts in the
highlands which thickly populated and the set
tied territory OF University heights Albuquerque has
about S64 blocks of streets The city proper has
500 blocks
In the fifty cities the percentage of streets paved
is 404. In Albuquerque, using S64 total, the
percentage is 13.3 Should the exact number of
blocks actually within the city limits be TAKEN the
percentage would be increased only slightly. 1t
would still be than half that of the cities
lected barely than third of the average.
People who are coming here to make Abuquer-
que their home are from Green Bay, Wis, Pine
Bluff Ark, Belleville, ILL.,, Elkhart. Ind. and OF
tumwa, Ia. These towns used in computing the
404 average percentage of pavement. These folks
expect to find things here much they left them
at home They will find stores little better, per-
haps, than at home. The schools. the churches the
homes will not differ greatly from those OF Ekhart
Green Bay. But the streets will
Increased paving would lower delivery costs for
the merchants 1t would raise property values. It
would permit more sidewalks and encourage the
Identification of homes.
The extension of paving in and around Albu
querque deserves careful consideration through the
early spring months If adequate program is to be
launched next summer.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CHRISTMAS BELL.

Uncle Wiggily looked at the
mantel on which stood the Christ
mas horn. 1t was the horn he had
bought to blow on Christmas
morning. very early. TO awaken the
animal boys and girls, TO let them
know Santa Claus had been al
their houses.
but 1 wonder If it will make
noise enough?" said the bunny TO
himself, as he twinkled his pink
nose and looked along one side of
it at the horn. Some Of the boys
and girls live far away, / wonder
If they will hear the horn?"
1.-THE horn didn't make any
noise when the Fox tried to blow
it," spoke Nurse Jane with n
laugh, for Uncle Wiggily had told
her how the Fox had tried to
catch him the day before.
Good reason - had dropped
the horn in the snow and the end
was stopped up" chuckled Mr..
Longears. But am just won
dering IL this horn, even when I
blow II without any snow in, will
be loud enough? I think I'll get
two horns. Two horns will make
more noise than one, will they not,
Nurse Jane? ?" he asked.
Eyes, l suppose so. Just as two
pigs under a gate make more noise
than one pig" answered the musk
rat lady housekeeper. But why
have two horns? why not try a
bell instead Of second horn?"
Uncle Wiggily thought for mo
ment, blinking his eyes and twink
ling his pink nose very fast.
I'll do It," he said. "Ill go to
the store and get Christmas bell.
That, with the horn, will make
noise enough on Christmas morn
ing so all the animal boys and
girls will awaken"
No sooner said than done--at
least starting. Uncle Wiggily hop
ped owed the fields and through
the woods on his way to the Mon
key Doodles store to buy q Christ
mas bell.

gentleman. IT am sorry, Uncle

red paper with green trimmings
I have no Christmas bells that will

What am I to do?" asked the
bunny.
"Try the drug store OF DR.. Pos
sum-" said the Monkey Doodle.
1T you can't get something any
where else, try drug store"
IT will" said Uncle Wiggily and
he did, but there was no bell to
be had in the drug store-at least

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago Dec. 19.--Wheat took an
upward swing today largely as a
result of indications of export bus
mess at Winnipeg. The market
here closed firm, NC to 2Hc net
higher, with May $1.14% to $1.14%
and July $1.04 to $1.04K. Corn
gained NC to &c and oats nc to
ECO &c Provisions varied from
8 cents decline to II cents dvance.
At first wheat showed lack of
support, with many traders cor
rectly anticipating an increase of
the United States visible supply.
Gradually, however, attention
veered to the ascent of values at
Winnipeg. and there was a dis
play of enlarged buying power here
based on gossip that the Winnipeg
advance reflected European de-
mand. Forecasts of n cold wave
which might catch much of the do
nestle winter crop without snow
protection tended also to stimu-
late some buying. Furthermore,
reports were current that rains
were interfering with Argentina's
harvest. Under such circumstances
the market finished at practically
the days top.
Corn and oats rose with wheat.
although early in the session the
bulls had been at disadvantage
owing to big receipts. On the other
hand. rural offerings of corn were
reported as small despite expected
colder weather promising to hard
en- muddy roads. Provisions were
irregular, fluctuating chiefly ac-
cording to changes in the hog mar
ket.
