Increasingly Important governmental re
quirements, quickened retail trade, due to
cold weather and holiday buying, difficulty
In operating leading Industrial plants, ow
ing to scarcity of fuel and better than
seasonal distribution by wholesale dealers,
rs well as Jobbers, the trends In the latter
respect having been carried along by activ
ity at seoomdary" market as distinguished
from movement at the so-called primary
centers, where trade has reer-d'-d present the
chief eharastt ristic of this week's reports. In
dustry is strenuously trying to fill govern
ment orders, in the face numerous handi
caps flowing from shortage of car, lack
"f fuel. Insufficient supplies and inclement
weather. At the sanoi time the season lor
Inventorying as well as the continuous shitt
ing from non-essential outputs has resulted
in a degree of o,uiet In industries that are
not favored with war orders. Ol course,
holiday buying has enlarged all retail trade
and cold weather and deep snow have
stimulated demand lor heavy weight wear
ing apparel and footwear. Withal reierva
tion must be made In regard to th trend
of ChrlslmaH trade, reports regarding which
lack uniformity. Indited, some section dis
close a record butiness and buying ol high
grades of 111. -rchanidiHe, but on the whole
a spirit of economy seems to dominate, and
though the final rush may bring the turn
over up to a high level, it la likely that
numerous markets will show losses from last

CHICAGO GRAIN ANI PROVISIONS.
Corn Price Take Downward Swing In
Ubieties ol Stimulus from Fast.
Chicago, Dec. 21. Corn prices took
dow-nward swing today, owing largely to
report that th lifting of the railroad em
bargo east of Chicago had failed to stimu
late shipping demand. The market closed
unsettled, 14c to 1'i.e, net lower, with Jan
uary (1.24H to $1.24, and May, $1.224
to (1.22V Oat finished. c to 2c down,
but provisions up 27c to 50c
Most trader regarded a bearish reaction
In th corn market a a practical certainty
after yesterday' extraordinary upturn. Spe
cific grounds, too, for selling pressure were
soon apparent, notably advice that east
ern roads had been ordered to return to
the west a total of 17,000 empty box car,
and that 2,700 of the cars had been de
livered In the last three days. Clear, cold
weather likely to Improve the quality of the
crop tended also to ease off the market.
The greatest handicap for the hulls, how
ever, jiroved to be disappointment, which
Increased as the day wore on that no sub
stantial expansion of eastern demand re
sulted from the cancelling of the railroad
embargo between hero and the board.

Last Survivor of the Alamo
Massacre Has Passed Away
San Antonio, Tex., Dec. Jl. En
rique Esparsa, the last survivor of the
Alamo, is dead. When on March 0,
18,)6, Santa Ana stormed, in the final
and siirces.sful assault, the chapel
where a handful of Americans fought
to their death, surrounded by piles of
Mexican dead, the victors found a
group of Mexican women in a barri
caded section of the front of the build
ing. Among them was an S-ycar-old
lad, Enrique Esparsa, who died at his
home here last night aged 89.
The Alamo was a mission, or con
vent church, built by Franciscan mis
sionaries in what is now San Antonio.
Tex., in 1720 and after 179.? used oc
casionally as a fort. In 1836 during
the war for Texan independence, a
small company of Texans and Amer
icans, among whom were Colonel
David Crocket, ColoneJ James Bowie
and Colonel W. H. Travis, were be
sieged there by the Mexican army
under Santa Ana. After bombard
ing the place for 11 days it was car
ried by storm and the defenders
killed, some of them after surren4$Vr
ing. The only Mirvivors were three
Mexican women, two children and a
negro boy. Espara was one of thesr
children.
Conscription is Beaten
At Australian Polls
Sydney. Australia, Thursday, Dec.
20.-l'nless the soldier vote on the
various fronts, which has not yet been
counted, offsets the vote in Australia,
the government's conscription scheme
has been defeated in a referendum by
a majority of about 150,000. This is
believed to be hardly likely, however,
on account of the heavy vole against
conscription in New South Wales,
which gave a majority of 115,000
against the proposal. Those favorable
to conscription were surprised by tlie
result in Victoria, which reversed last
year's favorable vote by giving a ma
jority of 1,500 against conscription
his year.
