Average, price of twenty rails for Friday was 111.63, off .85. flu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 18. Wall Street’s reyef over the maintenance of the local rediscount rate at 3% per cent after the fright occasioned by the postponement of yesterday's board meeting for an hour was mirrored in the generally higher price level in active stocks at the opening today. U. S. Steel common gained % to 13414; Chrysler, 1% to 199%; Hudson, 1% to 101; Mack Truck,. V 2 to 231, and Illinois Central, a point to 124. Equipment issues made further response to the announcement of additional orders from various roads. This group moved ahead under the leadership of Baldwin, which spurted 7% to 1322%. Considerable irregularity cropped out in the late morning, due to professional selling based on the belief that the recovery could not proceed far in view of the deadlock in the anthracite strike and the agitation over real estate speculation. However, stocks were well taken on the decline with an especially good demand for B. & 0., Pennsyl vania and other investment rails which were absorbed in large blocks on comparatively small recessions.Buying in United States Steel was also reported to be in excellent character. With American Can’s split up definitely out of the way, the Street Is now looking forward to the next meeting of the Steel Corporation’s directors late in January. Local Bank Clearings —Dec.

Dec. 18.—Like the crop scares of a month ago. the latest labor troubles in Cuba have fallen flat as a market factor in the sugar trade. The sharp decline in the London market has chilled bullish enthusiasm locally and with the prospect of settlement of the Colonos troubles within a short time the undeniable facts of a huge world production will be the remaining factor so far as values are concerned.

Indianapolis Business News Trade Forecasts and Comment on Local Market Conditions.

By Rader Winget “Demand for holiday gifts In the hardware line is increasing steadily with the approach of Christmas,” says George Vonnegut, secretarytreasurer of the Vonnegut Hardware Company. Other companies also report an increase in holiday demand. The wholesale business on gift articles is falling off. however. Dealers over the State have a supply of material large enough to carry them over the annual buying rush, and have put the soft pedal on orders. Price is another factor entering into the ease at this time, according to a local retail merchant. During the past year prices have been rather high and merchants have reduced their stocks in anticipation of a drop with the new year. The slump in price on some lines is almost definitely established and will no doubt cause a spurt of buying that will surpass that of the present year. Dealers will build up their stocks and the wholesaler will find an Increased business. Many companies take an inventory at the end of the year and stocks are being lowered for this reason, also. Demand in staple lines in Indianapolis is reported as being good, even for this time of year. Collections are only fair in this section, dealers say. Only one part of the country has poor collections, reports state. Other sections of the United States say collections are in good shape. In its weekly review of the hard ware market, Hardware Age says, “Demand for holiday hardware took another spurt last week, suggesting that the usual last minute rush hnd started. Wholesale business for gift items is practically over, but the consumer’s satps in bulk are coming along in a most satisfactory manner. With the heavy demand for holiday hardware items, staple lines naturally show less activity. There also Is a desire of the trade to curtail purchases for the remainder of the year, so that Inventories may be reduced as much as possible. Jobbers believe business from now on will be restricted largely to actual current needs. OFFICIAL’S MOTHER DIES Mrs. Ella B. McCoy to Be Buried at Old Home in Ripley County. Mrs. Ella B.

QPHnnT 1 MARSHALJOFFREL The Hero of the Marne, TTT7 T 13 O Who Saved France in nUf-L/ro am CoDTrlsht. Compton’s Pictured Enrvcloprdlo , Vature Service

mOSEPH JACQUES CESAIRE JOFFRE w.ia born In 1852. "The Victor of the Marne,” who halted the overwhelming rush of the Germans In 1914 and saved Paris and France, rose from the humblest circumstances to an imperishable place In history. His father was a maker of wine casks in the extreme southern part of France. The boy was so little Interested In this kind of work that his father once declared, “If our Joseph amounts to anything It will be at his books, and not at the cooper’s trade.” So the future Marshal of France was sent to the famous Ecole Bolytechnique In Paris where he prepared himself for a military career. Before the young man had finished his education he was called to arms In the Franco-Prusslan War of 187071. At the end of the disastrous siege of Paris he saw the victorious Germans march into his beloved city. He never forgot that scene, and he spent the next 40 years In making himself and France ready, should the Prussian foe strike again. Joffro completed his military training and saw many years of service in the French colonies in Africa and Asia. He superinten Jed the building of defenses at many Important points, and thus had an extended experience In military affairs. This had raised him to the position of chief-of-staff or the French army when the World War broke out in 1914. Joffre was at once made commander of all the French forces on the western front and held this position for two years. In the face of the powerful and crushing onslaught of the German army through Belgium, he ordered his troops to retire mile after mile into France. Many feared that the boast of the Germans to “take Christmas dinner in Paris” would be realized. But Joffre was calm. “I mean,” he declared, “to deliver the big battle In the most favorable conditions, at my own time, and on the ground I have chosen. After five weeks of wearying and discouraging retreat, the clarion call went forth (Sept. 6, 1914): "Soldiers, we are attacking. Advance as long as you can. When you can no longer advance, hold your position. When you can no longer hold it, die!” Every man responded to this call.

Ekern tried to show that bankers and. brokers forced the road into receivership. NEW JUDGE FOR WEAVER FIRM Collins Names List to Select From. Anew Judge was granted tOflay by Criminal Judge James A.

When he visited the United States as a member of the French High Commission shortly after America entered the war, the American people also wore aflame with enthusiasm for his heroic services and the simplicity and nobility of his character.
