GERMAN TRADE TREATY STIRS SOUTH AFRICA Feeling Rises at Proposal to Give to Reich Same Commercial Privileges As To British Empire. CAPE TOWN, Sunday.—Uneasiness is being felt in business circles throughout South Africa and in Rhodesia with regard to the proposed German Trade Treaty, by which South Africa would give to Germany a ‘‘most-favored-nation clause,” for trade on the same terms as those which obtain within the British Empire. Pressure is being put on the Government either to reject the treaty when the time comes
Government either to reject the treaty when the time comes for ratification, or to amend it considerably. In the latter case, however, a complicated situation would result, since the proposed Treaty has been ratified already by Germany. Feeling in Natal is particularly strong. Mr. Heaton Nicholls, leader of the Natal wing of the South African Party, denounces the treaty not only as an attempt to subsidise the supporters of extremism, but as “so utterly unfavorable to South Africa, so positively harmful to her trade interests, so full of menace to many farmers, that one is aghast at its sheer imbecility.”
many farmers, that one is aghast at its sheer imbecility.” In Southern Rhodesia, uneasiness has been caused by the Treaty mainly because of the Customs Agreement between the Southern Rhodesian Government and the Union Government, and the fear that Rhodesian tariff policy will be affected. The Government there is appointing a commission to investigate the operation of the agreement. The Chamber of Commerce has passed a resolution that the Government of Southern Rhodesia shall take all steps to ensure that the provisions of the Treaty do not affect the policy of granting preference within the Empire. It is felt generally
of granting preference within the Empire. It is felt generally that the agreement with the Union is a good thing, but that the powers of the Union are too wide. SHIPPING NEWS LINERS DUE Steamer. fr.

eliminates six miles of snow sheds and reduces the running-time of trains by one hour. Its cost was $14,000,000. Longest Tunnel in America Opens After Work on It Sets Record for Speed (Paris Times Spécial) SEATTLE (Washington), Saturday.—A railroad tunnel eight miles long, through the Cascade Mountains of Washington is in operation today at the end of a feat of rapid construction work which has set a record for both the United States and Europe. The tunnel, also, is the longest in America. The tunnel was finished in three years, while the Moffat Tunnel in Colorado, for example, although less
while the Moffat Tunnel in Colorado, for example, although less than seven miles in length, required four and one-half years for its building. The newly-opened bore cost $14,000,000 and is part of a $25,000,000 construction programme of the Great Northern Railway. The shifting of twenty miles of track and the electrifying of previously steam-driven trains on the Cascades System also have been accomplished as part of the project. The running time of trains through the mountains will be reduced by the tunnel by one hour, in the case of passenger trains, and by three hours, in that of freight trains.
trains, and by three hours, in that of freight trains. The inside of the tunnel is lined with concrete throughout. This has never been done in the case of previous tubes approaching its length. The rapid construction of the bore was accomplished through simultaneous digging and construction operations at many points. Work first was started from both ends, and a 622-foot shaft then was sunk to intercept the path of the tunnel two and one-half miles from the Eastern entrance. From this shaft, drilling was started toward both ends. WALL STREET NEW YORK, Saturday.—Irregularity was the striking characteristic of the
STREET NEW YORK, Saturday.—Irregularity was the striking characteristic of the New York Stock Exchange at the close of the week, owing to realizing which nullified gains made at a bright opening of the short session. A large volume of trading put the ticker behind the market. The turnover of shares for last week was smaller than in the previous one, with 22,672,000 shares traded, as against 23,758,000. In the corresponding week of last year, only 13,009,000 shares were traded. American Steel Foundries and Pullman company, among equipment shares, were active in the final session, but motors, which had been receiving
in the final session, but motors, which had been receiving attention, eased for point losses. Reports of lower prices for gasoline resulted in selling of oil shares, but steadiness became apparent later. Professional selling affected some Steel and some rubber shares, and prices in general suffered somewhat from the onslaught upon previous favorites. Final trading gave no buoyancy to rails, although a report on the gross earnings of ten railroads during the final week of December showed a gain of 0.06 per cent. The bond market listed sales of $4,755,000 for the week, with a steady tone. Curb Exchange Busy.
for the week, with a steady tone. Curb Exchange Busy. A seat on the Curb Exchange has been sold for $180,000, a new high record price which is $10,000 above the previous highest price. In connection with the growing scale of business on the Curb, it is being remarked that most of the shares on the London market in which New York is taking so lively an interest have attracted attention on this side because of known associations with American enterprises, or because they offer a close parallel to similar shares which have been sought eagerly in Wall Street. This
shares which have been sought eagerly in Wall Street. This circumstance is held to explain why American influences are so strong on the industrial market in London, and the climbing by such shares as Mond Nickel, General Electric, Celanese and Imperial Tobacco. In all these cases, the attitude of American purchasers is based on experience and observation at home. Also, there is a feeling now that a better yield may be obtained from shares bought in London. Apparently, this interest is not merely a professional one, on the part of brokers, but has its origin in the speculative impulse of
brokers, but has its origin in the speculative impulse of the ordinary American investor. Ford shares first began soaring when brokers in New York traded strenuous efforts to obtain on the London market the shares which they had pledged themselves to deliver to clients. CAPEL COURT LONDON, Sunday.—The London Stock Exchange had a general upward trend throughout last week and once more Anglo-American favorites were the exciting factors. Rhodes and Copper took a prominent place and the animation there spread to domestic shares, and even brought life to such a listless market as that for Rubbers. There was a little
listless market as that for Rubbers. There was a little wavering in the Oil-edged group for a time, on fears regarding monetary developments in New York, but this weakness was more than made good later, and the market resumed the forward movement which has now been its course for some time. The 5 Per Cent. War Loan still was the most prominent in its department, but other leaders were not far behind. The large New Zealand loan scarcely disturbed the market. Foreigners generally presented a firm appearance, but the outstanding feature among them was the sharp rally in Peruvian Corporation
feature among them was the sharp rally in Peruvian Corporation stocks after very severe weaknesses which appeared to be due to "beau" operations. Brazilians were brighter and a few Japanese bonds came into favorable notice, The tonic influence of the road transport cooperation proposals had still more effect on the tenor of Home Rails. Business in Rails broadened out considerably and reflected more confidence in the position. Cheerful conditions prevailed in the Foreign Railway market, and an early setback in Argentines was followed by a fresh advance. Rail Issues Prominent. The announcement of a new issue of Buenos Aires Pacific
The announcement of a new issue of Buenos Aires Pacific Preference shares failed to produce any ill effect on prices. A particularly good feature was a strong recovery in all the United Havana Stocks, while Leopoldinas rallied sharply. Autofagastas joined in the sharp rise. In the Industrial Market, Mond Nickel continued buoyant and scarcely looked back until towards the end. Then the extraordinary high price was too tempting for the profit-takers. International Nickel kept pace and Imperial Chemical was brought into the running, rising sharply. Courtaulds were buoyed up by dividend considerations, and Coats shares became a strong feature. Margarine
dividend considerations, and Coats shares became a strong feature. Margarine Unions reacted and International holding remained weak. Rubbers attracted interest and a rise in the price of the commodity gave encouragement to which the prices of shares responded readily. The floating supply of shares was small. Oils generally developed a better tone under the lead of Trinidad Leaseholds. The activity of Rhodesian Copper shares also was great. America continued as the inspiration and business probably was on a larger scale than for years past. Records were surpassed almost daily during the week in such shares as Brazas, N’Changas, Rosas Longwyas,
the week in such shares as Brazas, N’Changas, Rosas Longwyas, and Rhodesian Congo Borders. PARIS BOURSE Politics again played its customary part on the Paris Bourse during the week. Opening dull and irregular because of the Ministerial question with its uncertainty, operators, examining the situation coldly, came to the conclusion that the position of the Government would be endangered. The result was a complete change in sentiment with an upward trend in prices. Surprised by this movement, which was as sudden as unexpected, shares joined in the buying and helped to make the market firm. Leading stocks also were purchased
to make the market firm. Leading stocks also were purchased by foreign speculators, which fact aided the buoyant tendency. Consequently, the week ended in excellent conditions and with a number of important gains compared with a week ago. With the political question finished for the time being, the Bourse can develop the upward movement. Rentes profited considerably by the more favorable tendency and their firmness gave a fillip to the general situation. Banks took a leading place in the trading, much business being done with some interesting rises. Banque de France, Banque de l’Algérie, and Union Parisienne ended brilliantly. The
France, Banque de l’Algérie, and Union Parisienne ended brilliantly. The same was true of Comptoir d’Escompte, Crédit Foncier, and Crédit Lyonnais, all of which progressed. Rente Foncière and Générale Foncière were resistant. Many Specialities to Foreign Rails, notably Nord and Est, improved in the final trading. Electrical company shares showed remarkable firmness, with heavy purchases and good gains for Distribution, Compagnie Générale d’Electricité, Energie du Nord de la France and Thomson. Metallurgical stocks, too, were in favor, principally Electro-Métallurgie de Dives and Forges du Nord et de l’Est. Led by Gourrières, the tone of coals was exceptionally good, Courrières being
Gourrières, the tone of coals was exceptionally good, Courrières being bought heavily. In the arbitrage section, Rio was weaker, but Central Mining, Oriental Carpet and Lautaro were firm. On the Curb, Rubbers came into favor, while Gold Mines and Oils were steady. Territorial were quieter. Hotchkiss was up, but Tubize was decidedly weak. Small speculators paid considerable attention to Corocoro and Camp Bird, but in the final trading enthusiasm gave way to modération.

Today elections are being held in Altkirch and Colmar (Haut-Rhin) for Deputies to the Chamber to succeed M. Ricklin and Ressé, the two Alsatians whose return to the Chamber at the last general election was disallowed in consequence of their having been sentenced in connection with the Autonomist movement. At Colmar there are four candidates. Abbé Hanier is standing as a Catholic National; M. René Hauss is the Autonomist candidate; M.
Catholic National; M. René Hauss is the Autonomist candidate; M. Richard represents the Socialist Party and Candidate Murschel the Communist Party. At Altkirch there is a straight fight between M. Sturmel, one of the Autonomists who were acquitted at the trial at Colmar when Mss. Ricklin and Rossé were condemned, and M. Sibermann, a former Deputy who is standing as an Independent. The question of autonomy, far from settling down following the trial at Colmar, has been revived by the recent attempt on the life of M. Fachot, who was Public Prosecutor in that trial, by an Autonomist. The Autonomists
Public Prosecutor in that trial, by an Autonomist. The Autonomists are making every effort to secure the return of their candidates. Feeling runs very high. The National Parties in Colmar have secured Abbé Hanser to contest the seat vacated by M. Rossé in an attempt to allay local passions by putting forward a candidate with a programme which might exercise a pacifying influence while receiving general support. M. Hanser has issued a manifesto in which he admits that the relations between France and Alsace are becoming more and more strained every day, and that the attempted murder of M. Fachot
every day, and that the attempted murder of M. Fachot has provoked a storm of indignation and distrust towards Alsace in the entire French press, so that the slightest provocation at today’s elections may involve relations still further. He proposes as the right policy for Alsace unreserved union with France and the fullest participation of Alsace in the civilizing mission of France, but bilingualism in the schools and law courts, the maintenance of the status quo in religious matters, liberty and toleration in the schools and churches, in accordance with Alsatian traditions and the existing laws in Alsace. From the
