Neiv York, Dec. 2S.—The firmer tendency noted at the conclusion of last week's operations in the stock market was continued to-day, a number ot leading issues adding to'their recov cries of that period. Most significant among these was IT. S. Steel, which ad v a need to 49, a point above its mini mum. Bethlehem Steel rose 2 points to its best price for the movement, while Union i acifie, Reading, Krie, Canadian Pacific Amalgamated, Smelting and Northern Pacific were up from 1 to 2 points. Brooklyn Transit was the only active stock to lag behind. Trading in the first half hour, which was below normal, was far in excess of last Satur day. Further improvement and greater ae ti\ itv were recorded with the progress of the early session, steel going to 49 14. with gains of l'/ s to 3 points over last Saturday in other improvement shares. The demand, according to pop ular belief, came fron other sources besides the short interest, theory being prevalent that the market had been over-sold, mainly because of the for eign situation. Brokers with European affiliations were reported as moderate buyers of the international list. Inter est in conditions abroad was heightened by another decline in the London Ex change to the lowest -point of the year. Bonds were firm.

' adv.* | SONG 151 SI'HAM MADE FAJIOI'S Vocalist Will Give "Danny Deever" at Majestic New Year's It is interesting to nolc how strong a hold a song will sometimes gain on public favor, as for instance the Kip ling epic, ''Danny Deever." "I have learned," says David Bisp ham, "that if I do not put it on my program I will be compelled to give it anyway, for on more than one occa sion I have tried the experiment of not including it, but tllie people simply would not go home until they had heard 'Danny' sung." DAVID BXSriTAM "Dainty Deever" sung as it is l»v jSispham, is a wonderful bit of grue some realism, ami the manner in which I lie gives it is ..aid to make it one of the most thrilling tone htures ever painted. "'lt is a curious tiling, - ' says a St. Louis critic, •' to note liovv I his "Danny Deever" giip people. Old men and children, young men and maid ens, yes, old Indies and gentle spinsters -—there is not one that is not made to sit lip and breathe hard, .inst. as the rear-ianil man did. or feel hot and cold by turns, and get 'white, o white' jiisb as thy color sergeant did while tiles on parade was whispering (o him." No iiispham , rogram would be com plete thai did not toutaiu this Dam roach idealization of "Tontmv \tkins," and it will of course be included at the great baritone's concert at the Majes tic Now Vent 's evening. Adv.* It's a Grfod Letter, After All Some one has advanced the opiuion that the letter "c" is 1 he most unfor tunate letter in the English alphabet be cause it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger and in holl all the time. For some reason he over looked the fortunates of the letter, so we call his attention to the fact "e" is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning of existence, the com mencement of ease and the end of trou ble. Without it there would be ro meat, no life and no heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love perfect, and without it there would be no edi tors, devils or news.—'Fourth Estate. The Problem \\ ill is—'Are you going to take that flat you were speaking about? liillis— -1 don't. know. Of course we can keep the baby in the Uitclien range during the summer, but I don't know where wo can putrlim in the winter.—Phila delphia Ueeord.^
