STOCK MARKET
RIDES STEADY;
GOOD RECOVERY
BY STUART p. WEST.

wall St, New York. Jan. A.
Recoyery was general in today's
markets. Stocks went through the
forenoon with some further weak
ness before the rally started. Wheat
and cotton were stronger from the
outset. This prompt and stimuli
taneous recovery showed plainly
enough that the causes back of
Yesterdays rather violent turn
were OF no very serious conse-
ouence. The bank troubles at Chi
eago were evidently a purely dis
tinct case. They did not. suggest
in the least the presence of other
weak spots in the banking situa-
ton. As for the cut in oil prices,
the market was more disposed to-
day to agree with the best trade
opinion, which is the unprecedented
heavy shipments from Mexico will
not continue for long and that
there is no reason to apprehend
any further reaction of Importance
In the oil industry.
So far as the commodity markets
we're concerned, yesterdays sell
ing was altogether impulsive. The
heavy western liquidation both IN
wheat and in cotton, was the hast
lily formed notion that the Chicago
bank difficulties were symptomatic
of some larger weakness. When
1t was discovered this morning that
this view was wrong prospective
holdings were quickly taken back
In stocks the selling was quite
heavy for the first hour or So Oil
shares were carried down another
point and so were the equipments
and other recent speculative favor
ties Railway shares were weak
especially the low priced ones. The
selling in this instance undoubted-
ly had in mind the fact that heavy
cutting rates on agricultural prod
ucts took effect the first of the
year and will begin to show for the
first time in the January returns

 A gain in illiteracy of 117,344 in 12 states during the period 1910- 1920, was, for the most part. clue to those states having received the greatest influx of immigrants dur ing the last decade, according to the statement.

 According to prospectora. tho dis. covery was made in several rivers emptying into Stag bay Among these are the Pummalik river. Big Brook and Black Duck creek, all wide, shai- low streams, with graveily bottom. Big Brook has been staked for a dis tance of s3 miles.
 The first discovery was made e year ago by a party that had gons into the north in quest of timber claims.

TAKING CENSUS
 NUT EASY TASR
People of Palestine Fear, Rec- ords Mean Raise in
 Taxes

Jerusalem, November 2.--Pales- tinians are temperamentally afraid of the census In the days of Ab- dul Hamid and other Ottoman rulers census was taken only in order to increase taxation or 10 conscript
 the men for military service. The pre-war days are still fresh in peo- ples minds. and therefore most of them today prefer to remain un- counted. Because of this. and the feeling which has run very strong among the Mohammedan and Chris tan populations on account of the Balfour declaration, the present gov ernment's demand for a census has met with considerable opposition. The government evidently has been sincere in its purpose to find out the total population of Palestine with the primary object of determining who is eligible to vote in a forth coming election for members of the legislative councils of the govern ment However, every sort of oppo- sition has been encountered, both from the intelligent and the ignor- ant. The Mohammedan Christian so- eiety firstsent out a manifesto to it's constituency. advising them to do what they could to help the census along, but later the society retracted it's manifesto. This resulted in open opposition to the ceusus, especially in
 Nablus, the ancient Schechen.
 The government began by show ing strong hand and imprisoning a dozen notables, but it finally changed it's policy. released all who
 had been arrested. and even consent ed to the demand to enumerate all absent Syrians. which had been put forward by the society.
 When the day of the census ar rived all the government schools of the country were closed so that the teachers could be used as enumera- tors. So strong was the feeling in some quarters, however, that in Je- rusalem three Mohammedans and two Christian teachers refused to as- eist in the work. and were there upon dismissed from service. This resulted in a strike on the part of all the boys in the school where these teachers held classes.
