Here Is q remarkably moving
and convincing picture Of 4 great
famine that might have wiped
out a whole race. phe other
cities could not aid the poor
queen, being Id Ike case. Where
are, those cities now! Covered
perhaps with the sands. The
"city Of Brass" may have been
built in some location whose Pc
culiaritics saved it from being
overwhelmed by the desert;
The tale says that the expeG.
ton took from the city af the
treasure It could carry, leav.
ing behind incalculable wealth.
And that the Caliph took his
share and divided the Balance
among the others. Thereafter,
for some reason or other, the
secret Of the location of the
mysterious city seems to have
been lost. Certainly there is no
further record Of its having been
found.
The impression some of %
have Of the Sahara as one tire.

Inaccurate. In Il are ranges Of
precipitous cliffs, chassns, can.

It would be possible to hide a

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Reflect. Christmas Shopping.

The impetus given to trade by the ap-
proach of Christmas Is reflected In the
comparative statement of condition OF
the twelve Federal Reserve banks for
the week ending Wednesday. issued yes
terday. Bills discounted at the banks
increased by more than $65, ,000.0 900.
while Federal reserve notes In actual
circulation increased approximately $S2.-
c00.000. A decline OF $27.000,000 In the
tctal gold reserves probably represents
largely the response Of the public to the
Recommendation by the Treasury that
gold be used for gifts this ChristnaA
and also to the Departments approval
of the movement to use gold more freely

Record Grain Traffic.

Grain traffic. according TO the Car
Service Division OF the American Rail
way Association. amounted to 2,161.522
cars during the period from January /
to November IS last This marks a new
high mark for the movement of grain
and grain products in the history of the
railroads and is an increase Of 112.5s3
cars. or 5is per cent. over the game
period last year. Compared with 1920,
however. grain loadings showed an in
crease of 51S,o59 cars. OF 81 per cent.

Car Loadings Heavy.

While car loadings are beginning to
reflect the seasonal decline In traffic
reports continue to show gains over
previous years. according TO the Ameri-
can Railway Association. For the week
ended November 25 loadings amounted
to 955,495 cars. This is a decline OF
1889 cars from the level OF the previous
week, but is 2s2 .03o cars above the same
week last year and 151.79f over tho

Katy Reorganization Fees.

Wall Street was much interested yes
terday in having pointed out to II an
apparent extension in the authority OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
over railroad financing In the case Of
the reorganization Of the Missouri. Kan
sas and Texas Railway, whore an agree
ment was exacted from the reorganiza-
ton managers that final determination
OF compensat ton and counsel fees be
subject to approval by the authorities.
The report Of the commission points to
the difficulties OF fixing a general policy
to cover reorganization. but intimates
that as soon as experience 3ustifies there
will be established any general princi-
pies which the concrete facts may JUS
tify.

Sterling Still Advanc1ns.

The perststent demand for sterling
bills continues the outstanding feature
of the foreign exchange market. A new
high record above s4.57 was touched
by exchange on London yesterday. The
explanations generally given for the ex-
tended advance in sterling are connected
with the large increase in trade with
the British Isles and the heavy ship
ments of gold to this country. Another
sidelight on the situation. however ac-
cording to a foreign exchange banker, is
that. there Is still sizable short interest
in the exchange. Covering operations
have been rendered extremely difficult
by the shortage Of commercial bills.
Sterling has now reached q level at
which arbitrage transactions between
the two countries are moro interesting.
