THE BAGGAGE SMASHER TALKS.

A baggageman in the role of de-
PENDANT has entered the discussion on
baggage smashing TO which the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican is giving con-
siderable space. The baggageman
says: "Who is to blame? An express
train arrives, with only three minutes
stop. with from sixty to seventy pie
ces to unload, and as many more to
load. There are 100 or 40 pieces to
handle. The train must not be de-
Iayed on account Of baggage, or there
will be letter from headquarters.
The public will complain if the train
is late. They wonder why the rail
roads do not make faster time. Ten
or twenty parties will enter the bag
gage room Just ten minutes of leaving
time with baggage TO check. They
must all be waited upon Immediately.
Some of their baggage is at the very
bottom of the pile, and some on the
other side of the station. A man must
handle ten or twelve trunks in as
many seconds. People ask why the
company does not put on more help?
The company has about 10 minutes'no.
tice of what the passengers call busy
time. OF course it looks hard to see
a man let your trunk drop from a
truck, but after a man has had his
hand laid open from letting some Ia
dy's trunk, with nothing in it, down
easy. he soon thinks his flesh and bone
is of as much consequence as some
trunk. Many a finger has been smash
ed and hand cut by those same trunks
A new man is sure TO get hurt try
ing to be careful. If trunks were on
" packed with clothing, instead OF
books and everything else, there would
be fewer broken. It is heavy articles
inside the trunk which do the mos
damage. If the baggage weight limi
was 200 pounds instead Of $50 pounds
and people had time to live and LEI
others live, there would be less com

PAUSED TO FAKE PROFITS
General Decline in Values Results In the
share Markets.

Geperai Decline in Values Results In the
share Markets.
New York, Aug. 12.-Today's stock
market was reactfonary on a diminish
( ed volume of business The declining
movement was due to the realiza ton of
I profits on yesterdays sharp rally and
vas not taken on the street to mean
any unfavorable phase in the situation.
Further weakness was apparent in the
exchange market and rates for money
We're not as stiff as heretofore. The
course of the market evidenced a con-
siderable reduction of the short inter
est but as the day progressed obliga-
tons on short contracts were largely
increased. London participated in the
movement to take profits and contribut-
ed toward the reaction. The larger
operators here evidenced a cautious
spirit, pending immediate developments
likely to bear upon prices. Business
was not as well distributed as on Tues
day but Sugar and st. Paul sustained
their relative prositions as leaders in
point of activity. Manhattan again
figured as pre-eminentiy a weak fea-
ture Of the depression. There was no
news OF special Importance bearing
upon prices Industrials were special
objects of bear attack. The receipt of
lower quotations from London encourag
ed bear demon Stra ton at the opening
and prices yielded all along the line.
The industrials and International shares
were the chief sufferers, Manhattan,
however, dropping an exceptional per
cent, to II per cent. The reaction was
soon checked by the distribution of sup
porting orders. A general rally occur
red but it was short-lived and all bust
ness was considerably restricted in the
later dealings. Marked heaviness was
apparent, which developed into weak
ness and notable concessions in prices
followed. Manhattan touched 74A per
cent, the lowest point in the recent
slump. Extreme losses in ther shares
ranged from to "a per cent, with final
prices in most instances only a shade
above the lowest.
The total sales of stock today were 159.
