Wall Street Hears Italy

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Italy will

flgures were available, 1t was esti-
mated that the amount involved
would be we'll over 500, 200, 900.

IAN financing in the past. 1t is
known that Italy has an external

school. So my boy wrote the
tailor at the place where he at
tended prep school and asked
him what commission he would
allow If he could line up some
orders. The tailor wrote bsck
that if he could book five orders
he would make q suit for him

proudly, and, dad, ! got ten

as good as this that didn't cost

Being made of the right stuff,
and having sensible notions
about thin-s, the millionaire
father was delighted over the
business-like ingenuity exer-
cised by his son.
The incident recalled to my
mind one related to me by the
man occupying quite a proni-
nent position in the world He
had a very dignified wife and
college-bred daughter, who went
out for a stroll near their
suburban home, and, hearing
tremendous noise and cheer
ing, walkedt toward a field
where a baseball game was be-
ing played. As they approached
the road was almost blocked at
one point, and from the midst
of the crowd came a loud voice
yelling Lemonade! lemonadel
3 cents a glass; Horrors! the
lemonade venders were her
own schoolboy sons!
Mortified, she hastened home,
terribly upset, and when her
husband appeared she narrated
her humiliating experience and
told him he must give the lads
the severest licking that they
had ever had. Her indignation
rose to the boiling point when
he burst into laughter and re-
marked that he felt more like
patting them on the back.
Ny seven-year-old son last
week won the first prize in the
county for selling the largest
number of Christmas seals, and
l must confess that I. was quite
tickled when he told me how,
entirely on his own, he had
gone and rung doorbells and
effected sales.
Self-help is the raw material
of success.

AVERAGES GO HIGHER
AS "CASH" TRADING
FEATURES CHANGE
Establishment Of Losses For
Tax Purposes Is Conspicuous.
Independent SteeIs Gain.
By BROADAN WALL.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-For the
hast full session Of the year. the
stock market showed unusual
activity and strength today. Ordi-
narily a dull market is witnessed,
reflecting an unwillingness OF spec
ulators to make new commitments
at the end Of year. The list was
called upon to absorb a heavy
amount of selling for cash" by
people determined to establish losses
for tax purposes. Sales made IN
the regular way today would have
to go over into next years busi-
ness. Transactions for cash were
said to have been the biggest on
record. Notwithstanding this sell
ing. the general list after early
irregularity steadily moved for
ward, closing prices being 1 to Q
points higher than the preceding
finals.
INDEPENDENT STEELS.
Independent steels were conspic-
uous. their strength being attributed
largely to short covering as they
have recently shown marked weak

OILS.
Oils are showing animation be-
cause most big oil producers believe
that the course of prices is now up
ward The advance this week Of 35
cents a barrel in Wyoming crude
cannot be considered insignificant
inasmuch as 1t represented a rise OF
so per cent in a territory where
production is big. The rising ten
dency of Oil prices in the face OF
heavy production means that a re-
markable change for the better has
occurred in the oil business. Big
producers are drawing on their

Pan-American shares did not sell
ex-stock dividend today, in view of
the fact that the new certificates
have not been delivered. Deduction
Of the stock dividend would have
caused a disturbance in loans in
which the stock figured. A desire
not to cause any disturbance in
loans caused the stock exchange to
rule that. beginning January ..
1923, shares sold must carry a due
bill calling for the stock dividend Of
20 per cent. Experience has shown
that when an issue sells ex-sto,k K

which occurs in the quotation re-
duces the margin shares, forcing
the borrower to put up more money
or sell out.

TO STAY ON RHINE
Two BattaIions Of Eighth Infantry
Will Remain at Germany's Request.

In compliance with requests from
Germany and some of the allied pow
ers, a small force of American troops
is to be retained at Coblenz, on the
Rhine, beyond July l, the date set
originally for completion of American
evacuation Of German territory.
Secretary Weeks announced this
week, that decision had been reached
to retain at Coblenz Major General AL
len and two battalions of the Eighth
infantry, which was scheduled to sail
for home June 80. The length Of
time the troops will be kept on the
Rhine, Mr.. Weeks said, had not been
determined.
The two battalions of the Eighth
infantry TO stay in CoblenZ were listed
to be stationed at Fort Screven, near
Savannah, on their return, and the
war department has not as yet de-
signed units for that station to take
the place of the men on the Rhine.

COUNT WEDEL COMING. BACK
German NobIeman to Return to Farm
Near Columbia.

Count c.. w. Wedel, who resigned
his commission in the German army
to settle in America, coming to Char
lesion aboard the Wittekind with
Commissioner L. J. Watson, and who
resided near Columbia college, on a
farm which he still owns, until few
weeks before the breaking. out OF
the World war in 1914, fought through
the whole four years unharmed and
recently was alive and well, though
YIN somewhat Strengthened circum-
stances.
Eager to return to South Caro-
lima, where he hopes to finish his days,
il is said, Count Wedel is unable at
this time to come back, partly because
his affairs in Germany are in unsatis-
factory condition, but principally be-
cause his property at Columbia has
not as yet been Surrendered by the
alien property custodian.
Letters received in Columbia say
that both the count and his wife fair

the count as a staff captain of light
cavalry or ublamcn, his wife remain
ing mostly at Hanover, in the house.
hold of the counts brother, who was
burgOmaster of the city, and cngag-
ing in various forms of war work.
Count Wcdcl and his wife return
cd to Germany in midsummer Of the
fatcrul 1914, but had gone to Eng
land late in July and were settled for
holiday of some weeks ut Henley,
rear the yachting resort Of Cowes,
when France and Russia dcclarcd war.
Realizing il could he but a matter of
days or hours before the British also
would be involved, they left England
! three days later. If they had been
delayed a few hours in getting away
from Henley, they would have been
inferred for the duration of the war, it
afterward transpircd, for England en-
tered the war August 4.
Three days after reaching Han
over, Count Wcdcl took the field
riding off to the front as an "obcr-
! lieutenant" in the third squadron
Fifth reserve regiment of Uhlans.
During his residence in South Caro-
lima Count Wedel became a confirmed
rice eater and in letters to old ac-
quaintanccs in Columbia recently he
has written yearningly of his hunger
of certain wholesome and filling
American foods, particularly rice!
Governments are more ponderous in
/ such matters rs the readiustment OF
war time seizures and there is nc
telling when the alien property Gus

German officer possession Of his pro-
pcrty near Columbia.

able society much needed example IN
curbing extravaganza. The seal of
royal approval has now again been be-
slowed on court trains. Indeed no
woman can he presented at court who
does not wear them. OF course as a
man the Lord Chamberlain cannot
presume to be an expert on fashion
able feminine dress, but il is one of
his many official duties to lay down
the Lles and regulations TO which
women must conform at the most
exalted of court functions.
That is one OF the things for which
he is paid $4,000 a year. He has to
be a peer besides to qualify for the
exalted office which is accounted
among the political plums that the
prime minister has to give away.
The present Lord Chamberlain is in
the top class Of the pceragc. He is
the Duke Of AthCll.
BY restoring the court train nc has
earned the blessings of the fashionable
dressmakers. But they would have
! heightened their blessings if he had
! heightened the trainS. Before the wal
three yards was their regulation
length. while Queen Victoria didn't
consider four yards too long By thC
new regulations they need be only
! two yards in length and should not
extend more than 10 inches from Tho
! heel of the wcarcr wncn standing.
! To walk backwards before royalty
in a train three yards long without
getting tangled up in il, imposes {
severe tax on the dignity and skill o.
not a few socially ambitious women
Queen Mary is a very kind woman ant
she would naturally wish to spare heI
sex making exhibitions of themselves
Hence she was in favor Of the shortc
length for trains.
