The railroad commissioners of this state
have recently decided that, so far as the ex-
ternal forms are concerned, the revived par
allsl road scheme has gone through the
proper motions to give 1t the benefit of the
general railroad act. Questions of law raised
before them were not considered, but were
left for the courts to determine. The CONS
missioners made, 80 far as appears, only q
perfunotionary finding which simply
amounted to q sort of there We are again"
On the strength of the finding, however,
ed into the "fact" that the Standard Oil
company is about to build the road, q rise
in New York and New England stock has
been engineered. People having these GER
tificates are advising those who have none to
buy. Perhaps they even could supply the de-
mand. It is ono of the real misfortunes
of the New England road that it is q thor
oughly speculative property, kicked about in
Boston and New Xork and SO in theory
AWAY for sale. This fact counts for enough
to hurt Its railroad business. A big shipper,
for instance, dissatisfied with the Consolidat-
ed, might hesitate about taking the hostile
step of transferring his business to the New
England road, for, In the instability Of it's
ownership, he might in q week find the Com
solidated had got him again by getting that
whole concern. So long as it is speculative
property it must be 90 hampered, and If in
siders by a skilful system of rumors can
make living by driving the stock up and
down that is their gain, but not the COM
pany's.
This proposed new parallel scheme to New
York which is being used now in this way is
a very old baby that never grows up. Il
changes nurses quite often, and the Con-
solidated road itself has walked the floor
with it when the voice of another babe was
heard in the neighborhood, but subsequently
soothing syrup was reckonsd more suitable
than exercise. Here the scheme IL again,
and there is some curiosity what will be.
come of It. The next legislature
meets In January and one report ia
that this case will be taken before
the general assembly. Now we have
general railroad law; these people have orr
ganized under it. Let them go ahead and
build under it, if they wish. If they don't
wish, what are they there fort If they do not
mean business why pretend to begin, and If
they do mean business, why not stick 10 it
and let the legislature alone3 If we have
another railroad fight next year some Massa.

there was any important movement during the

the late unfavorable reports Of earnings with
the expectation that the same will continue for

~ per cent, but recovered the loss later In the
day. New England was the leader of the market
in the early trading and displayed some strength,

The oystermen have begun "shellipg,'
removing the big accumulations of oyster
shells-big heaps that line the banks of the
Quinnipiac river-and distributing them
over the oyster beds to be used in assisting
the spawn that will soon "set." For the
past two years the set has been failure,
causing very great loss to the oystsrmen.
This season there is good prospects for good
set, the dry weather of the past month tend
ing to improve the prospects. The past two
years the weather preceding the shelling has
been very wet, tending to make freshets in
the stream and these freshets would prevent
the spawn from setting. This is the theory
