The Third District would comprise Wood,

Putnam, Cabell, Lincoln and Wayne.
The Fourth District would read, Lewis,
Upshur, Randolph, Braxton, Webster, Po-
cahontas, Clay, Nicholas, Greenbrier, Fay
ette, Summers, Monroe, Boone, Raleigh,
Mercer, Logan, Wyoming and Mcdowell.
Under the last census the population of
the four districts is shown separately TO be,
First district, l65 ,562; Second district
1918; Third district, 1853, ,S63; Fourth dis
trict, 1925. Taking the last Congress
sional vote as the basis, and throw away
the greenback vote as having been drawn
pretty equally from both parties, this ap-
portiOnment would give Democratic ma
jorities of from four to six hundred in the
First district up to as many thousand in the
Fourth. As the old card player said when
they gave him four kings and told him to
bet for all he was worth, Maybe an ace
would make il stronger" and the ace in
this event ought to go in the First district,
but while majority of six hundred is not
as deep as a well nor rs wide as a church
door, il might do very well if properly
handled and would ensure better repre-
sentation, perhaps, than though it were
larger .,-,----IstN.

The exhibit this week is decidly unsatis-
factory compared with the corresponding
week last wear. The total footing, S2,2I6,-
lS3,Gi9. compares somewhat untavorably
with the fOOtiugS ut the end of last week,
when the figures stood at Sl,532. lI2, $50.
The figures as compared with the cores
pOnding week last year, showia decrease Of
Ia per cent against one of 1873 per cent.
last week. The exchanges for the second
week in January, last year, showed an III
crease per Centagc over the corresponding
week of 1879 of al per cent.
The falling of in percentage this week
was owing in the main to great decrease
in New York. Then, TOO. trade through
out the entire country Is unusually dull
for this season Of the year, though indica-
tionS in many quarters are more assuring
for the early opening OF a brisk spring
trade.
In New York the percentage OF decrease
is u. 8 per cent, against decrease OF lis
per cent. last week. and an increase OF 1l.9
per cent the previous week. In this con-
neCtiOn il must be borne III mind that IN
the corresponding week in 1881, with
which this comparison is instituted, one OF
the largest speculative movements ever
known in that large city was being carried
on, the sale OF stocks for that week alone
amounting to ), ,4J00l9 shares.
Outside OF New York the clearings show
gain in percentage OF increase. as COM
pared With last year. it being 1913 per cent
this week against 80 per cent last, AID AZ
per cent the previous week. In the East
eru cities, Boston shows the slight decrease
of 40 per cent. against per cent last week.
The merchandise markets in this city,
generally speaking, are not satisfactory,
the volume of business being less than eS-
pec,ed at this time. Philadelphia shows a
gain of O.S per cent against loss OF 1913
ner cent last week and a gain of l6.2 per
cent the previous week.

NEW COMMISSIONER.
SioRer the Coming Man-Mrs. LineOin's
Pension.

SpecidltO Western ASSociatcd Press.
WASHINGTON, January l6.-Thc friends Of
ex-Congressman Stoner OF Michigan, are
feeling quite confident of his early appoint
ment as Commissioner OF Patents, to sue
ceed Marble. The President expressed his
appreciation of Stoners ability and Capac-
ity. and has intimated an intention to ap-
point him.
Some OF the Republican Senators are CEN
surfing MesSrs. Ingalls, and Blair for having
delayed action on the bill 10 grant Mrs.
Lincoln a pension. Senator Farley in
formed the Republicans that the Democrats
had no objection TO offer, and that they
would unite in putting the bill through.
Senator ingalls,, very cmphatically dis
claimed any idea of opposing the reSolu-
ton. Indeed, lie expressed his hearty ap-
proyai of il. He thought the bill did not
allow enough, and that as the Pension
Committee had the subject under con-
sideratiOn it had better go over.
Mr.. Blair also suggested that as the mat
ter was before the committee it would be
better to wait. Senators who were urging
immediate action, say that Mrs. I.inCOln'S
needs are pressing and delay will inCOnvcn-
fence her very much, and some indigna-
ton has been expressed by them at being
defeated in their purpose by objections
from the Republican side OF the Senate.

WASHINGTON. January l6.-Now that there
