By RICHARD 8I»1I.I.ANR, 1 niters.il Srvlee Flntuvltd Ftlitur. New York, Dec. 28.—Viewed finan cially, commercially ami industrially, 1B24 has been a good year—a very good year. In its early months il brought trials to business men and, for a long time, the prospect was bleak. The oil scandal threatened at one stage to be very serious in tin settling general confidence and, later, t he nation for a short time was much disturbed by doubt afl to the outcome of the national elections. But the oil scandal has been relegated to the limbo of unpleasant memories. Then additional elections brought, confi dence and resolution and business generally has made a recovery re markable in its rapidity and breadth. If the stock market may be con eid«rod n« a barometer, the indtea ^tions are that th° nation is ti> have an extended period of activity and tprosperity. The bases for prosperity stems to have been laid through the great Improvement In the agricultur al situation in America, the renvuk nlde change for th® better In Kuropc through the start Germany has made4 to rehabilitate herself along the lines of the Dawes plan and a world wide Inclination to work and produce rather than dispute and dawdle. Trade Develops Steadily. National trade is developing stead ily. Various foreign nations have made excellent progress within the year to improve their currencies and their credit. The extent to which in ternational loans are being placed is indicative of n confidence greater than manifested at any other time since the close of the world war. 11 the United States the recoveries in single industries has been extra ordinarily rapid. The United States Steel edrporation was down to close to fin per cent production Home months ago. Now it is operating j around 83 per cent. The copper in dtmtry, which was prostrate. com ing back very fast. In textiles prog ress has been stow hut sure. Oils, long suffering from overproduction, are seeing daylight again.

Herlln, Dec. 2.X.- 'The conversion of paper mark balances to the new gold or reichmnrk by big concerns is near ly completed. In general the reduc tion of capital has been so drastic that adequate return is promised. Stockholders meetings in connec tion with the conversion induced a number of leading business men to voice their opinions on the general situation. All agree that there has been an improvement in conditions •luring the last few months but It is generally pointed out that this Im provement is in home trade only. Traduction Hosts High. German export business, however, lias a hard fiRht because of high Ger man production costs. As reasons for these high costs are mentioned high taxes, high rail freight rates and co!«ts due to "social” legislation. It is demanded that the turnover tax be further reduced, that advance pay ments on incoipe tax which often must be paid out of capital be abol ished and that freight rates be ey?. New tax proposals will be submitted in January. The burden of special legislation (sick and accident disability insur ance and pension insurances and miners* unemployment doles) are es timated by employers at 1,900,000,^**0 marks a year. .Motor Industry Improves. The law against the flight of cap ital which ends December SI, will not be prolonged. Transfer of money and travel will he easier and hanks will s. \e a lot of unproductive labor.

By TnlveTwnl Nervlc*. London, Dec. -S.—Contrary to the usual experience, ihe stock markets which generally slacken down from Christmas until the end of the year, have been surprisingly good, though half the week has been made up of holiday. The markets opened with fair briskness Monday and a number i)f features were noted in the two following days. Industrials continued to occupy a prominent position, the activity of lea was maintained, rubber shares attracted greater attention than of late owing to the improvement In commodity prices and textiles were well supported. Iron, coal and steel kept fairly steady, breweries wrere steady, but distilleries came In for profit-taking. Nitrates attracted lit tle attention, with Anglo-Chilians de veloping dullness. Less interest was taken in recon struction loans. Base metals con tinned on the upgrade and liveliness developed in tin ami copper shares. (lilt edges were rather neglected. British rails were not very interest ing, with little change on balance. Argentine rails showed a curious con trast, with leaders sagging and inter F-st concentrated on the second rate lines. Shell improved still further owing to their American subsidiaries. Kaffirs were almost neglected. Indications are that business will be resumed with more than average zest Monday.

At the sound of Kdtth Fairfax n voice--soft, vibrant with earnestness, almost caressing in Its timber—i shrank back against the swinging doors thmugij which I had just come from the kitchen, devoutly hoping that neither she nor Dicky would discover my presence before I had a chance to escape noiselessly hack to the kitchen. Fiercely I smothered the jealous impulse to rush into the diningroom, confront my husband and the girl talking to him. and demand what she meant by .saving that he ought to “tell her. It isn't fair to her to let things slide along this way." Of course, there was the chance that I might not be the person referred to as “her,” hut every instinct within me cried out that I was the woman Kdith meant. To get away without her knowing I had overheard their colloquy! That was Die thought obsessing me a»I put my hand behind me, and slowly with infinite pains, pushed back the swing ing door, moving backward myself as I did so. Hut I was not quick enough t«> lose Di< k\ s worried reply. “I c an’t do it. Kd<. I simply can't tell her. Don't you remember that other time? She was as dear as she could be about it, but I could not help knowing what her opinion of me was and--” I lost the rest of it for just then I gained the other side of the swinging doors and shut out the sound of my husband's voice, sudden-j ly hateful to me. Katie's eves, round! watching and knowing, were upon I me, and with wits sharpened hv the' necessity of keeping from her my I real feeling. I spoke with fussy earn cstne^s. r “They’re Cherished Dishes.” “Katie, there isn't a thing in that cupboard I'd dare take for the child ren's hot milk. They're all cherished dishes of Mrs. Durkee." Suppose the! children should break them. Surelv there are some kitchen cups or glass cs emt here that I can take." I had successfully diverted Katie's attention. That small comfort I hug- j ged to my breast as my little maid j faced me. pouting. “You tink mv babes and Marion1 going to break her old dishes?" She sputtered. ”I>ey nefer. nefer break! dishe«\ I'nd I n«» vant to send old. kitchen cups oop mlt milk. Maybe dev have vot you call eet, germ*, on dem.” Her dolorous whine was Irresisti-j ble l laughed and f«*!t a little of my heartache slip awey with the mirth.' “1 think well tak*» the risk of that in Mrs. Durkee's kitchen. Katie." 1 said. “Corn* let us look in this cup board. There! See those pretty hi tie cup**' (Jive me those.1' With a toss of her head Katie took down the cups and then turned to me with arms akimbo. "you no need to stay down here.' she said. “1 feex dot milk, bring ett oop to kids. I bring you sometlng. too." Was It a Kuse? She smiled at me with suddenly re stored good humor and I thankfully: made my escape from the kitchen.! wondering how much my keen eyed and tender hearted little maid had guessed of the emotion which was s.vaylng me and w'hither she pur posely had not given me the chance to escape from the vicinity of the dining-room, where mv husband and Edith Fairfax still sat. Slowly I made my way up stairs. torturing my self, woman fash ion, on the way by going over and over again the scrap of conversation I had heard. What did it mean this strange colloquy between the girl j who had faced me with hitter anger! and told me that she loved Dicky better than I cl id anil would have! made him a l>ettcr wife than I had done' What was it that she thought I ought to know, but that Dicky felt he could not tell me? 1 knew Edith Fairfax's innate hon | pstv—that never-to-be-forgotten scene between us had taught me that. She | had scorned to hide her love for' Dicky then. Could it be possible thatj now. as then—. With a shamefaced flush I crushed down the jealousy that was uprear ing its sprpent head in m'v heart., I would not believe that Dicky s love had starved from me unless I had stronger proof than a chance conver sation admitting of many construe-! lions. On® thing. however, was plain.; Edith Fairfax shared some secret of Dicky’s of which I knew* nothing and which she was urging him to tell me. Any wife can understand that the! thought was almost as humiliating! *s my first conjecture. Xo deadlier in sult can he offered to a w*5fe than to give her either attentions or confi dence in some other woman. Clad indeed rwa* I that Mothe! Ciraham’s need of me was so impera live and that Marion ond Junior were ilao at hand to divert mv thoughts I would have no time in the next few dnvs for speculation upon sny subject but as I went dow*n the cor Idor to the room where I had left lhe children.
