NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-The Wall
Street Journal today says:
Another remarkable gain IN sterling
which at IL o'clock reached s4.sS%,
the highest since March Fl. 1919 was
not without sentimental effect on the
stock market at the opening today.
Prices In the general list showed a
strong tone with equipments showing
special buoyancy because Of the re-
ports that negotiations for the con-
soudation OF Baldwin and Pullman
were. under way. These rumors ap-
peared to have no better foundation
than the fact that large shareholders
Of Baldwin are also interested In
Pullman.
With New York Central expected to
20 on IS dividend basis at today's
meeting, the stock was reactionary,
receding about a point TO s4st in the
early dealings.
Sterling ConGnues Gain
Continuance OF the remarkable rise
IN sterling stimulated further bullish
enthusiasm in stocks in the first hour.
Important financial interests right
along have contended that Europe's
rehabilitation would be one OF the
most constructive developments that
could happen so far as American bust
ness was concerned and persistent ad-
vances in exchange on London was
interpreted to indicate important
progress toward restoration OF inter
national normalcy. Industrial lead
ers. such as American Can. American
Sugar. Steel common, Standard Oil
Of New Jersey and American Woollen,
developed activity at rising prices.
while demonstrations went ahead in
numerous specialties.

A Splendid Border Flower

For bordering large beds or for use
IN producing masses OF blue. the
dwarf lobolias cannot be beat among
the ANNALS. They often prove
failures because not enough care is
used in planting the seed. which is
very fine and pcwdery. Planted in the
open ground. Only a small percentage
OF the seed is likely to produce plants
as Il is easily washed out by the rains
and the ting plants are uprooted and
destroyed just when terminating. II
should be sown in boxes where il can
be cared Tor and watered gently.
There is no liticulty in raising a fine
supply OF plants with this precaution.
Set six inches apart these little
plants speedily make compact bushes
covered VITA their small blossoms
ranging from the deepest and richest
blues TO pure white. 1t is a popular
flower for carpet bedding and is used
each year BY the thousands in park
paintings. However, its finest effect
is as a narrtw edging or in patches at
the front o an annual or perennial
border whe'e ii will bloom continu-
ously till cut down by killing frosts.
