In St Louis on December 1 Rev Charles Stetzle field secretary of the Federal Council of Churches argued against anti prohibition opponents.

Foreign affairs drive Monday stock market trends

Trading in Monday's market was shaped by foreign affairs with call money rising to 10 percent. Despite some late liquidity, most loans renewed at half that rate or lower.
