VERY HEAVY RAILROAD
OBLIGATIONS DUE IN 1925


BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 31.-Matur-
ing railroad obligations in 1925 are
estimated in excess of 100000,
the largest amount since 1921. With
the higher prices obtaining in the
stock market, it is thought a large
part of the new financing will be
accomplished through stock issues, as
many carriers are selling above par.
Improved earnings and the cumula-
tive effect of improvements of roads
and equipments in recent years are
being felt, 1t is said, and are realized
as placing the railroads in a sub
stantially better position than they
have been for many years.

 London, Oct. 15.--The suhscrip- tion list for the British portion of the $2oO, 100000 Dawes plan loan to Germany closed at one o'clock this afternoon when 1t was indicated that the loan had been considerably oversubscribed.
 Extraordinary scenes were wit messed in the city this forenoon in connection with the opening of the subscription list-scene reminiscent of the day when the first big Japan csc loan was foated here.
 A line of 2,Oo0 people was at the loan office of the Bank of England when the bank opened, eager to de- posit their application forms and to obtain more prospectuses on the 12,- 100000 pound British share of the loan.
 The subscription list had to be closed three hours after it had been opened. It, was estimated that large financial institutions and insurance companies had tried to get the bulk of the amount offered but that small investors had succeeded in getting a considerable share of the lloan.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Oct. 15.-Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, widow of the late Governor William B. Ross, was nominated for governor by the democratic state convention here late yesterday. Today she had not recovered sufficiently from her sur prise to enunciate political policies or plans other than a desire to "carry on" as her husband had and to announce definitely she would not campaign.
 The territory of Wyoming, in 1869, was the first territory or state in the union to enfranchise women.
 Mrs. Ross expressed a desire that sentiment surrounding her recent bereaveemnt not be allowed to en- ter into the campaign, and declared herself willing to have the campaign fought out with her republican op- ponent Eugene J. Sullivan of Basin along party lines and on party merits only.
