THE WAR CAUSES a AMI YEAR Trading On Stock Market Was Far Below Par. GEEEK CHRISTMAS FALLSON JAN.8 Will Be Observed AH Over This and Other Countries. New York, Jan. 2 The week's most notable feature in the stock market was thai it brought to a close the dullest year since 1878. That was directly due to the European war. Trading in the four business days was reduoed to minimum propor tions, with some firmness in leading stocks and a few specialties. Those, however, were decidedly under the price level attained a little mure than a fortnight ago. A few more stocks, most of them unimportant, were added to the list of issues which fell to minimum quotations, while United States Steel, Southern Paciflo and Baltimore and Ohio made partial recovery from their low prices of the preceding week. Acute weakness was shown by some of the Gould stocks, Mis souri Paciflo falling abruptly to a new low record. - Western " Maryland issues also ere Weak because of the company's announcement of its intention to de fault of the interest of its outstand ing notes. Wall street looks with some hope to the reopening of the London ex change next week and to the pro nounced betterment in the Paris banking situation. The outlook in the steel industry is more encour aging with some expansion in gen eral trade. The first week of the new year is expected to witness the actual in auguration of the 1135,000,000 cot ton pool, applications for loans now being under consideration. ' Monetary conditions hold out much promise in their greater ease but railroad returns offer little com fort, some of the leading roads hav ing suffered severely in the past month. Kinstoa, Jan. 2 Either Alfred Lynch, murder of Maaley Hatch, or his brother, Adolph Lyaeh. is under arrest in Xew York City today. Sheriff Taylor fears that the metro politan police have taken the wrong man into custody however. Lynch, a Ki niton negro, brutally murdered Hatch, white commissary keeper at a lumber camp near Rich- lands, last March. After slaying the white man and dragging his body in to a clump of woods, where it was found several hours afterwards, the murderer sent to Richland, hired an automobile, aud drove to Kinston, m. distance of forty miles. He told the chauffeur that lie was goiutr to be married here. He had so intended, it developed, but the murder interferred with his martial plans. The negro boldly drove up to the Caswell monu ment, discharged the chauffeur, who happened to be a deputy sheriff of Onslow county, got into another car and drove to the home of relatives in Lincoln City. Before the authori ties here had had a chance to appre hend him, Lynch having reached Kin ston before they were notified, the slayer was gone, nud has not been seen here since. Sheriff Taylor lias persisted in the belief that Lynch reached New York by way of a steam er from Norfolk, and that he would ultimately be arrested there. A sub stantial reward was offered to the person who would apprehend him. Lynch has a brother residing in New York. This is Adolph Lynch, living in the Bronx. It may have been Adolph instead of Alfred Lynch arrested by the police there, the sher iff thinks, although it .seems that they would have become sufficiently ac quainted with Adolph 'Lynch during the past nine or ten months to dis tinguish the brothers apart. Two telegrams from Inspector Faurot of the New York detective bureau, state that Lynch is held, one of the messages stating that Adolph and the other that Alfred Lynch is the man. Both are lacking in details. The sheriff has wired for more complete information and described the physical appearance of the man wanted and of his brother.

"I now have 500 families mi my list, in Monterey which are l-eln-r fur nished corn, bean9 and rice twice a w ek," said Mr. Hanna's message. "There are a thousand more families who want tickets to the relief sta tion. There are probably more than 2,000 families in Monterey who need help now and the prospeots are that several thousand will be very hun gry before January is past. "The Mexicau authorities are in terested in doing what they can, but after four years of war, during which the fields have been neglected, the crops are very short and the local supply almost exhausted. "I need for Monterey and nearby towns two cars of corn each week. We need a carload of beans and rice each week. We wish every town in the cotton states would buy a bale of cotton blankets and send them to Mexico, for these people have very little clothing.

MORE POTASH COMING American crops and so, Is are still' as hungry for Potash as before the out break of the European war, which cur tailed the Potash shipments. Some of the Fertilizer Companies are trying to induce farmers to buy the onesided low Potash or no Potash fertilizers of a generation ago. This means a fertilizer that is profitable to the manufacturer, but not the best for the farmer. When the Syndicate in 1910 started the direct sales of Pot ash to dealers and farmers at reason able prices, Potash sales increased 65 per cent in one year, a clear proof that Potash Pays. They know that Potash gives good yields, good quality and resistance to plant diseases. Many of the Fertilizer Manufactur ers are willing to meet the farmer's wishes and sell him what he thinks he needs. These manufacturers are now willing to furnish as much Potash as they can Secure. They offer goods with 5 per cent, and even in some cases 10 per cent. Potash, if the farmers in sist on it. Shipping conditions are improving, more Potash is coming' forward al though the cost of production and transportation are higher. The higher price of fertilizers is not due wholly to the slightly higher cost of Potash Much of the Potash that will be used in next spring's fertilizers had reached America before the war started. There is no substitute for Potash. We can no more return to the ferti lizer of twenty years ago than we can return to the inefficient farm imple ments or unprofitable livestock of that period. , II.
