SHOULD BE REPEALED. The
next Legislature will be asked to re-
peal the law requiring bicyclists to
dismount one hundred yards from
team. 1t Is settled everywhere that
bicycles have as much right on the
roads as any other vehicles, The
English law on the subject is
reasonable one: Every bicyclist
who overtakes any wagon, or cart,
or other carriage, or any horse, or
any foot passenger proceeding along
the carriage way, shall, when with
in reasonable distance before pass
ing such, by sounding horn, bell,
or whistle, give audible warning of
the approach of his bicycle. Every
bicyclist who Overtakes and passes
any wagon, cart, or other carriages,
or any horse, shall keep his bicycle
to the right or off side of the road.
In every case where bicyclist meets
or overtakes any horse which may
become restive, such bicyclist shall
take every reasonable precaution, to
the best of his judgment, by dis
mounting or otherwise, so as to
avoid danger. Any person who
breaks any of the foregoing laws is
liable for any one offense to fine
not exceeding $40.

Money Market.

New YORK, Dec. 16. 6.--Speculation
in the stock exchange turns upon
the strength of the market for sterI-

of gold to Europe, and the furry | n

shipment of half a million today
came reports that $2.7O0,00O would
be shipped by Saturday steamers
and anywhere from $5,0OO,000 to
$40, 900, 900 next week. Money lend.
ers began to draw in loans and
caused money to jump suddenly
from AZ to 8 per cent. Many firms
had loans called, and had to await
their arrangements, thus precipitat-
ing a stringency for which brokers
are in instances quite unprepared.
