Civil Service and Public Printing.

Printers and other tradesmen interested In
the government printing Office are talking of a
scheme which Public Printer Rounds Is said
to intend TO recommend In his coming report.
This project as defined by some ofthe EN-.
ployes of the printing office is to substantially
recommend that the civil service regulations
be extended so as to cover his department. To
do this his idea would be to establish
standard Of proficiency Tor printers, book
binders, pressmen, and all other skilled arti-
sans employed In his department As reason
for such an extension he urges that the bureau
would then be protected from the designs of
congressman ana others seeking to repay po-
litical service at the expense of the govern
ment, and that 1t would be for the benefit of
the trades interested, rs by competitive ex-
animation would be insured the best service,
and the law would protect the employees.
This project is not, however, favorably re-
ceived by the persons interested, rs they claim
that the government docs get the best SERVICE
and that their own union rules require n
standard of proficiency to be attained by con-
slant service OF q stated period. II would take
u long time and a great deal of labor, they
claim, TO establish a standard of proficiency
that would be satisfactory, and 1t is not yet to

THE MARKETS.
Feverishness and Weakness of stocks
Wheat with hut Few Friends,


NEW YoBK, Jan. 5.-The stock market was
fevorlsh and weak this morning during the
first hour and for that time also quite active.
First prices were generally from to per
cent. lower than the closing quotations yestar
day and an unusually irregular movement
followed with decided weakness amer 1920
The sales for the first hour amounted to 1900
shares. while the. transactions during the
whole day were only $4,000 shares, decrease
rom yesterday of 1880 shares After II
o'clock the market was dull and firm until llte
IN the afternoon when 1t again yielded, the
greatest weakness being in the coal stocks anl
late IN the day in the grangers. The result OF
the days operations Is only moderate iluclua.
tions, except IN few instances while prices
tonight are at or within II to per cent, of the
lowest quotations reached, and generally from
small fractions to u per cent. lower than they
closed last evening with fow exceptional de-
clincs.
The feverish and weak condition Of the mar
ket In the morning was due to the announce.
lncnt that the leading drawers of sterling OK
change had advanced the posted rates to the
supplied with rimors that shipments ofgold
were to be made Immediately The actual rate
for foreign exchange this morning, however
was somewhat below the price at which ship.
ments can be made without loss, and, while II
stiilened to within a small fraction OF that fg
ure during the afternoon, there was not much
business doing and no engagements OF gold
were made to-day for export The firm tone
that prevailed after the morning hour is at
tributed to tho determination on the part of
leading operators, who to great extent, con-
troll quotations from hour to hour, to resist any
effort to break the market, The market closed
barely steady.
A conspicuous feature Of the stock exchange
markets Is the investment demand for railroad
bonds
Money on call continues easy Mt to ~ per
cent, the lats loan being at "a Prime mer.
camille paper, to 8; bar silver, 1921 to 1919.
There was further advance this afternoon in
the rates for sterling exchange. Actual bust.
ness is done ut $780, for Gg-day bills and
sisgl4 for demand; posted rates, siSI for 90.
day bills aud si.mM for demand. There Is
very little business doing. Government bonds
are very dull aud steady. State bonds have
been very active this afternoon and prices
strong. Railroad bonds have been moderately
active and generally steady.

cial to the Dispatch says; Judge Furst held
court to-day for the purpose of hearing the
argument of the rule granted at the regular
session, TO show cause why the executions on
which the property and corporate rights of the
South Pennsylvania Railroad Company were
levied upon should not be stayed and
the judgments opened. The matter was
Of great Importance, because the fran.
through which the road runs between Harris.
burg and Plttsburg is advertised to be sold by
the sheriff of the county. There were two
executions, one in favor OF Michael ]. Martin,
for use of Vim. Williamson, and the other in
favor Of John Dougherty. Judge Furst set aside
Dougherty's judgment and Williamson's exc.
cution because OF informalities In obtaining
the revival of the judgements, thus terminal
ing the present effort to sell. The company
Will oppose the effort to sell their road on exc.

pline Is necessary. He said there are remote

tied points, where 1t is important to have OBJ.
induced to remain at such points, they would
resign first but under military discipline the

which grind on the merchants and ranch

Gen. Gomez, commanding the troops, says he

that oil the government needs is an excuse to
overthrow Cuellar, and from indications, IL II
is attempted, he can rally no more than his
