HOLIDAY 7 TRADE
GOOD, DUN'S
!. SAYS
Evidence This Year of Largest
Purchasing Power,
Report Declares.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Dun's
weekly review OF business condi-
tions says today:
Holiday trade is in full swing,
many stores being crowded with
Christmas shoppers, and colder
weather in the West and elsewhere,
with snowfall In some places, has
further quickened retail distribution.
These are purely seasonal phases,
but there Is evidence this year Of
a year public purchasing power In
most sections of the country.
Employment of workers has
gained appreciably, reports Of idle
ness now being the exception; prices
for leading agricultural products
have risen substantially, improving
sentiment in farming communities;
and the banking position has been
measurably strengthened. With
other constructive forces also op-
erative, including the betterment in
the foreign exchange situation,
there Is a solid basis for confident
views regarding the future.
"If buying were only for i'm.
mediate or nearby needs the con-
ditions would be less favorable,
but various manufacturers are
already booked for several months
ahead and new demand of i'm
portance has developed in different
instances.
"The hide trade shows signs of re-
viving activity after rather pro-
longed lull in buying; pig Iron
markets reflect similar character
istics; the great steel industry has
attained an IS per cent rate of
production in certain localities, as
against a general average of about
so per cent a year ago, and output
OF textiles is larger than II has
previously been, with firmer prices
for goods.
"It would be possible to extend
the summary of encouraging
features, but there Is wider
recognition now of the fact that
business has experienced decisive
recovery and that the outlook is
reassuring."

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Pan-
American OIL stock furnished the SEN
sation Of the stock market at ana
Immediately after the opening today.
The declaration of another 20 per
cent stock dividend by this company
was complete surprise to the specu-
lative district. though 1t was common
gossip in the street that something
important" would be given out at
the close Of the meeting OF the d.
rectors.
The Immediate reason for the ad-
ditional stock distribution was the
acquisition of Mexican Petroleum's
surplus by the recent exchange OF
stock. The latter company VIII
henceforth operate as a part OF the
Pan-Americans system. and instead
OF skyrocketing on the increase OF
the cash dividend from IL to r6 per
cent the stock actually sold lower.
Pan-American jumped points on
the first sale and was extremely ac-
tive around 88 in the first period.
u. s. Steel Active.
Activity in United States Steel con-
tinued on the same broad basis as
prevailed at the close yesterday, and
the stock advanced to higher ground
at the start. The extremely heavy
buying demand is attributed partly
to the acquisition of stock for dis
tribution to employees. and partly to
the persistent reports that the big
steel corporation will join In the
melon-cutting class before long. The
independent steel stocks also made
a better showing today. though the
price range was never more than a
point above yesterdays close.
The stock market was fairly active
in every department in the whole OF
the half session, and while there was
a good demand for speculative stocks
offerings were such that 1t was i'm
possible for prices to make much
headway in the upward direction.
Some Of the rails were under pres
sure in the last period, New York
Central, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern selling down about one
point. e. and o. sold one point
higher, and the balance Of the rail
list was steady.
Studebaker and Baldwin as a
rule were above the range of yes
terday's close. Fisher Body made
. new high at 211h and Kelsey
Wheel at los.
There was good volume OF
trading In the listed bond market.
with prices Of Liberty bonds and

Russia and France each have huge

Russia is controlled by reckless men

Britain Favorable
To "White Australia"
Policy Says Agent

Melbourne, May 2O.-The imperial
British government, as a matter of
empire concern. is favorably inclined
toward Australia's white Australia
policy reports Sir James Connolly,
agent general for West Australia in
London.
Sir James states that the policy
would help close the back door to the
Australian continent, and especially to
the unpeopled semi-tropical territories
of northern Australia.
1t is possible, Sir James said, that
the imperial government would aid in
the scheme Of building railways and
roads and equipping 1900 farms in the
territory for occupation by emigrants
from British lands.

AneIo-Saxons Responsible
With the problem thus clarified we
can see that the Anglo-Saxons have a
large share of responsibility for the
economic disorder for which they blame
the treaties. If, when the armistice
came. the English and Americans had
not been so quick to break the eco
nomic ties entered into during the war.
Europe would not suffer so bitterly to-
day. Ruined Europe is told to unite
and sacrifice individual interests to
the common welfare. When. early in
