MARKET REVIEW
New York, Dec. 24. Financial mar
kets continued to move confusedly this
week, stocks evincing a more reac
tionary tendency while the demand feu
bonds was fully sustained.
Dealings in stock were dull in com
parison with the corresponding- period
of 1920. when the daily turnover was
of substantial dimensions at prices 25
to 50 per cent, or more, over those now
prevailing-.
Much of the intermittent selling;
probably originated from corporate in
terests which sought to adjust income
tax returns before the year's end. Pro
fessional pressure was restricted to
several of the industrial companies
whose affairs now rae in a state of
transition.
Fears of a money flurry seemed f
be unfounded, call loans renewing- for
the most part at 5 to 5 1-2 per cent.
Purchases of commercial paper also
were on a fairly liberal scale, though
limited to 30 and 60 day maturities.
Reduction of rediscount rates by tht
Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank con
firmed the impression prevalent in local
financial circles that cotton and grain
bills are in process of further orderly
liquidation.

Trading: in stocks today was nomi
nal but a firm' tone prevailed in al
most all branches of the list. Shorts
continued to cover m' oils, coppers and
rubbers, those issues leading- at gains
of one to two points. Tobacco, food
and other specialties, notably American
Ice common and preferred; Famous
Players common and preferred, Texas
Grtt Sulphur, and International Faper
also were moderately higher. Usual
leaders of the industrial gToup were
almos entirely neglected. Rails hard
ened on buying- of Delaware, Lacka

approximated 250.000 shares. Bonds

NEAT EXTRACTION
OF A STORE LOCK
A burglar who must have been an
expert, and perhaps, a professional,
neatly extracted the lock from the
front ooor of the Office Supply Com
pany some time between midnight Fri
day morning and Saturday at 8 a. m.
He evidently took fright soon after
gaining admission, however, and fled
without taking an article, so far as an
investigation of the store by members
of the firm eould discover. There was
a light suspended over a counter near
the door which will not turn off, which,
perhaps, was disappointing to the in
truders. The trick of extracting the lock from
the front door and leaving the door
so that it would swing open at a touch
from the hand was the cleverest job
any of the policemen who examined it
had seen lately, and could hardly have
been done by anyone who does not
thoroughly understand lock-breaking.
"This settles it," said Claude Kerr of
the store, discussing the skill with
which the burglar picked the lock.
"Hereafter we will have a trap gun
on the door. It is the third time the
store has been entered in a year."
When members of the store staTf laft
at a late hour Friday night to go
home, they called humorously to the
patrolman on the beat to be sure and
hold anybody that he might catch in
the store betweent hem and morning.
'Believe me, if anybody tries to get
in there I'll get him," answered the
cop in the same vein.
Findins a still within a short dis
tsnce of where they found one sev
eral weeks ago on a plantation near
Ncwells and belonging to J. K. Wolfe
of the firm of Davidson & Wolfe her?,
officers of Sheriff Cochran's office arc
of the opinion that someone in: that
neighborhood is disposed to raaka
liquor in spite of frequent raids and
breaking up of their stills.
Deputy Sheriff Fesperman and Rural
Policeman Brown went out to the
Wolfe farm Friday night and. found
a square box made from poplar lumbpr
v ith a lining of copper in it. It was
on a well-built-up brick furnace . and
evidence was at hand that it had been
in use, perhaps, for several months
or longer. The still found in the same
neighborhood some time ago had aloe
evidently been in use for some time.
No one was found around the still,
hich the officers brought, to the city.
It looks as if every little stream in
th county is to become the site of a
still, according to the officers, . and if
the old water mill of tradition has
gone, with its picturesque overshoe
wheel and other features, the . festivv,
still may take its place.
On Thursday afternoon the sheriff
representatives found a still on the
bank of a little stream in Long .Creak
township on a built-up furnace, it was
a long narrow poplar box lined with
copper.

Santiago, Chile. Dec. 24. Abolition
of capital punishment and flogging,
provided in the Chilean penal code, is
asked in a bill sent to Congress by the
Ministry of Justice. Life imprison
ment would be applied in cases where
the penalty of death is determined un
der the existing code.
Referring to capital punishment, the
measure says, "it offends, by its cruel
ty, the moral sentiment prevailing in
cultured nations; it is1 irreparable and,
consequently, it does not comprise the
possibility of impeding the conse
quences of the errors which -the ad
ministration of justice might have in
curred on applying it."
"Flogging is barbarous in Itself."
says the bill. "It is rejected by univer
sal consent and among us it has fallen
into disuse, as it Is not even possible
to find executioners willing to apply it."
