Postal Clerks Bill

Chief Clerk Mitchell of the railway
mail service is pushing the matter of the
proposed postal clerks bill. The maxi
mum wages paid the clerks in the office
is 500 and they work from eight to ten
hours day. Travelling postal clerks
receive from 5000 to $1,000. but they are
away from home half of the time and
must spend hundreds of dollars year in
hotel bills and then there is the danger
from loss of life and limb in accidents.
The work of the clerks also involves
greater amount of knowledge aud exper-
fence than that Of the carriers, who have
only to learn their routes. Although the
clerks are granted fifteen days vacation
year many Of them have not been
able TO take a vacation as substitutes
have not been provided.

House, was notified at once and arrived
that night but not until the little one
was dead.

ON GRANGE
Business Transacted and Prices Paid at Home
md Abroad

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Although the
volume of business in stocks today was
only moderate, the speculative temper was
cheerful and prices, with momentary eX-
ceptions, worked toward higher plane.
Outside buying, however, was chiefly con-
spicuous by its absence. The tone In hnan-
cial circles is unqualiiiedly hulliSh, al
though the market fluctuations were prac-
ticaliy controlled by few OF the more
important professional dealers who have
recently been playing for turns wtm the
scalpers following in their wake. Am en-
a mandatory order from the court forbld-
ding the operation of the reduced rates
put into erect by the southern transpor-
iation companies. The heavy grain move
ment in the northwest was urged as Duli
argument on the grangers and in most in
stances the traffic returns rendered We're
satisfactory. AS usual recently the atten-
ton of the street was largely turned on
the ever-sweling gold engagements and
arrivals In conservative circles it Is be-
lieved that the $40,OJO,O0O mark VIII be
reached. Rumors were current OF prep
arations in London to ship about s2U, OlV,-
900 additional gold to this country. The
street discount at that center today was
marked up to 2 per cent, but actual ster-
ling rates for sixty day bills in this market
of commercial bills, with the only impor-
tant buying for account of the gold i'm
porters. Late in the day call money rates
were offered down to per cent, and the
final loan was made at that figure as
against per cent, the maximum rate of
the day before. London figured both as
a buyer and seller: The closing was
strong at about the best prices of the day.
Railroad bonds were quiet but generally
higher on transactions of $659,0Oo Gov
ernments We're lower for tn NV tours,
with othr issues steady. The transactions
