 The arrangements for the second ball of the New Haven police department arc rounding up in splendid style. Mu- sic for the event has already been set
 tied upon. The Philharmonic orchestra

 the city, and the concert to be rendered { by them previous to the formal opening of the ball promises. to be well worth hearing Leader Fichtl is already at
 work on the program.
 The general committee will extend a number of invitations to prominent men
 throughout the etate and in the city. Governor Coffin will head the list. May or Hendricl1 will come next, then the
 chiefs of the various police departments OI tle StdlG, lIB lOcEl pDllCe tOiililllo- sioners, Chief Kennedy of the fire de- pertinent and a number of others. The souvenir programs to be issued for the ladies will be unique affairs and well worth possesEing. The patrolmem

 nearly as large as that of two years ago,
 The ball will be given on the same extensive plans as it's predecessors, and
 the arrangements. have been carried on with even more detail and care.

charged in other countries. He stated that freight can be sent from London To San Francisco cheaper by one-third than it can be sent from New York to San Francisco and said that the rates on railroads should be uniform, the same as at present in the postal system. By reducing fares on railroads one- half the passenger traffic would be in- creased four times without making any additional expense of running trains At present the average number of per- sons carried on passenger train is only seVenty-fiye at a time, when seV- eral times as many could be aecommo- dated. By that system the earnings of the roads would be as great if not greater than at present on account of the increased traffic In Russia to-day one can travel 1919 miles for $5.55 The actual cost of transporting a passenger 5000 miles in this country is only $1 and at the rate of 1a cent per mile railroads would still make 30 per cent on the amount invested. The rates for local freights are at present 75 per cent greater than through rates.

During the Late Hour There Was n Gem
 eral Thoueh Moderate Selling.
 New York, Jan 2.--Stocks were quiet to-day. The tone Of the market was strong during the early session, but in the last hour there was a general though moderate selling movement The early rise, which was equal to 14a2 per cent, was most marked in Tobacco. the grangers, Lake Shore, Jersey Central, Sugar and Chicago Gas.
 Following this rise period of dull. ness set in, which lasted until near the close, when some of the early pur, chasers disappointed at the delay in the matter of the bond issue, disposed of their holdings. In this decline Louis- vile and Nashville, Western Union, Sugar, the grangers, Jersey Central, Manhattan and Tennessee Coal scored the heaviest losses,
 London was a seller of St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville and other stocks, with an interna tional market, but in the aggregate the amount of stock disposed of was small. Western Union was weak throughout the day and fell to S37s from S5ss. The stock was sold by the room traders and pro- fessional operators and the old rumor repeatedly denied that the Baltimore and Oia intended selling its holdings of the stock, were again put afloat, Chicago Gas moved up to 665s at the opening, but later receded to 659s when it was rumored that the Whitner liti- gation will be started again in Phila- delphia.
 Speculation closed weak with prices A@t4s per cent. below Tuesdays final figures. Chicago Gas Canada Southern and Lake Shore, however, gained B@% per cent. on the day.
 Bonds were firm and higher. Sales were S1,0S3,000
 Following are the closing prices re- ported by Prince & Wihitely,. bankers and brokers, 46 Broadway, New York, and 15 Center street, New Haven: ?.
