To Much Rain Checked Trade, Changes I'm
Values Few with Steady Prices.
Trade was not up to the volume of some
days past yesterday and 1t is quite evident
that too much rain is falling for this
season of the year. This tends to affect
business unfavorably. Fluctuations were
few and unimportant, Coffees are weak ct
the lac reduction of Tuesday and eggs and
poultry are weak on increasing receipts.
There are SO few Florida oranges on the
market that the quotation IS dropped TO-
day. California oranges are in good amp
ply and the fruit unusually good. Pro-
visions are firm at the advance OF Monday.
To-day the quotations on wool for the new
clip are given. Receipts of the new dip
are increasing. In other markets there is
nothing calling for special mention.
There was better attendance on
'Cbange and the bidding was moro spirited,
but the range of prices Was not materially
changed from those of Tuesday. Track

The stock market was feverish and irreg-

uncertainty in regard to the policy of tho
government with reference to the currency
question causes tImidity among the
traders, which assists those who are WORK

movement of the day occurred during
the last half hour of business, when rates
for sterling exchange were advanced to

A CHAT WITH ADMINISTER GARRIs oS.

Improvements on ths shepaug Railroad Its Curves and Grades Freedom from Accidents
 Roadmaster b. C. Garrison of the She paug railroad has held his present posi- tion Is years and knows all the ''ins and outs" of this famous little road. He worked on the road when it was first built and was afterward section forema n until promoted to his present position.
 During the 20 years history of the road good many Improvements have been made. A big improvement, rece nt- ly made. was the filling up of the 152 feet of trestIe work at Pond Brook. Stone abutments were put in and bridge with 4Ifoot iron girders.
 DURING THE 20 YEARS the track has been relaid with steel rails from Hawleyville to West Morris.
 Above that point to Litchfield, the old iron rails laid when the road was built, are still doing service. It is expected that they will be taken up by another year.
 The line of the track has been changed at several places and easements put in at the curves.
 At point lear Seth Warmers south of ltoXbury. one curve was reduced from H to seven degrees.
 A lDlIE sOubii Ul fADADuTN eLdIlOU d pau grade has been eased up. THERE ARE l37 CURVES on the Shepaug road in the g l-2 miles. There is one curve south of the Housa- tonic river that is Is degrees. This is the sharpest on the road. There are some stiff grades on the road. From mile north of West Morris to Bantam, there is rise of l72 feet in two miles.
 From Judd's bridge to the Washington tunnel, there is a rise of 75 feet to the mile. There are nine heavy curves in that mile and two sharp reverses. From Philo IIaWley's to Roxbury Falls there is n rise of about 70 feet, in distance of about a mile. In the four miles from the Housaton- ic river to Hawleyville there is
 RISE OF POP FEET, about l50 of this being in the first two miles.
 Other improvements recently made, | has been the relaying of the bridge over the Housatonic. with heavy planking, painted over, leaving little danger of it's catching on fire.
 MT Garrison recalls the fact that the road has never injured passenger. | Enc only serious accident the road has had was when a gravel train jumped the track and killed two men.
 In recent years the bridge across the HouSatonic has been replaced with an iron structure 450 feet long and three wooden bridges aecross the Shepaug riv CT have been replaced with iron sGruct ures, each 10 feet long. There is
 PROBABLY NO MAN LIVING who has So thorough a knowledge of the Shepaug road bed, as MT Garrison, who has every section photographed in his mind. MT Garrison's home is at Rox bury. Mir Garrison is personally g very pleasant man, and has scores oi acquaintences from Aawlewville te Litchfield

AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE.

T'he brief mention THE BEE made of the souvenir edition of the Bridgeport Post evidently struck Brother Bolande in d tender spot. He returned the com pliment in the following highly eloquent paragraph:
 THE NEwTowN BEE, that chronicler of paint ed fences, meaSle cases and parsons donat- ion parties, frowns upon such enterprise AS The Springfield Union and The Post recently and wants more attention paid to quality rath- CT than quantity. Right here in this connec- tion THE BEE it seems to us might profit by its own advice and reduce its blanket sheet appearance to a more condensed and ship shape form. A little gold paint on some of those items which tell about Mrs Abigail Browns turkey sprouted a new feather yes tertiay," would not go amiss occasionally.
 Brother Bolande should not be too sar- castle. We have clipped a few of the s.heavy" and s'important. items from re- cent issues of the Post. They are as fol- lows:
 Two plain but appropriate headstones have been placed at the graves of Mir and Mrs John Jones, in the cemetery.
 Messrs Smith and Booth have butchered a number of large porkers here, this week.
 The White Rock fioated early yesterday morning on the high tide.
 John Williams while ceiling Monday on Fresh Pond, caught an eel which when weigh. ed tipped the scales at five pounds.
 Mrs James Hart is suffering from sprained ankle.

THE MUSIC FAILED TO APPEAR.

The dance of the young mems social club occurred, last week Friday evening. as advertised. The evening was charm ing and about 90 couples assembled 10 enjoy good time. But with s.roses come the thorBs, and so the committee of arrangements found when the time came for the concert. No Wheeler and Wilson orchestra (which was to have played) appeared. There was some rushing about and numerous telegrams sent to Bridgeport, but all failed to bring the much-lookec-for orchestra. As last resort, E. NJ. Peck and his trusrv fiddle were secured and to the music of d
 solitary violin, at Q p. m., the dance be- gan with lancier, the grand march be- ing omitted. NIT Peck also played alone for the second number of the program. waltz. During this tiMe the committee had been scurrying around again and succeeded in adding to the orchestra, A. E. Coles, with his piccolo and Joseph Cox, with an additional violin. The mus ic immediately improved and the dancers felt happier. The people in the gallery also woke up, forgetting their disap- pointment at not having heard d good concert by watching the merry dancers on the floor. The hall was very taste fully decorated with flags and ever greens. The tasteful programs were fur nished by THE BEE job print. About II o'clock light refreshments were served, after winch the second part of the pro- gram was continued, lasting until about 2.3O a. m. None regretted the disap- pointment in the music more than the committee of arrangements, and rather than cause any unkind feelings. they generously paid all the expenses in con- nection with the dance out of their own pockets. charging nothing for the even ing's amusement to the dancers. It was learned later that the Bridgeport orches- tra understood their date to be January 30, instead of December. The young mems social club are not discouraged but are already making preparations for an- other dance to take place about Febru- ary l, at which time the original plans will be carried out. The committee in charge of the dance were: Harris M. Clark, A. s. Hawley, chiefs of staff. as sisted by II. w. Wheeler, Harry Beers, w. N. Northrop, w. A. Leonard, Frank Wright. George Taylor II. II. Curtis. F. H. Beers, Fred Curtis and c. c. Peck.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS CONCERT.

The annual Christmas concert of the Congregational Sunday school was held in the church, last week Friday evening. A large number of the scholars. with their parents and friends filled the church and listened to very pleasing program, composed of songs and recita- tions- Beside a pretty class exercise by six of the young people, the following recited creditably: Misses Bessie Jonas Julia Duncombe. Grace Hook, Mabel Taylor. Helen Sommers. Jessie Taylor and Masters Carlton Hubbell. Curtis Morris, Raymond Northrop and Willie Delzell. Short and appropriate remarks suitable to the season were made by Rev MT Delzell, after which the tree was un- loaded of its pretty gifts by Messrs George Duncombe, l.. c. Morris and c. B. Taylor, much to the pleasure of the little folks. Rev and Mrs Delzell were re- membered with one-half dozen silver knives and forks and MT Deizell's Sun- day school class presented him with a nice rubber door mat.
