Two Hired Girl Aids
in Getting Out a Paper

General Joseph s. Smith of Maine tells
how he published a paper without
press in Bath, Me-. many years ago:
when I'd get my paper all set up and
ready for the press I'd lay the type on a
washstand, get 1t leveled down we'll in
the chase, or the frame in which it was
locked up, and then I'd call in the hired
girl She weighed about 21O pounds
when she sat down. That's what I
wanted-sitting down weight So, after
the hired girl came in linked the type,
laid over it the sheet of paper, and on
top of that the blanket, and then po-
litely invited the hired girl to sit down
on the washstand. Two hundred and
ten pounds, remember. The result was
just as good an impression as you could
get on any $100 hand press made in the
United States My edition in those days
was about 200 copies, and the hired girl
was good for the job at one sitting-no.
at 200 sittings. And she took an interest
in it, too, and was just as ready for busi-
ness every publication day as a $4,000

Boston Wool Market

BOSTON. Nov. 1.-THE American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow OF
the wool trade:
Intense stagnation has characterized the
market for the past week. The only fea-
ture of special note is the report that one
large house has sold a big block of ita
Australian holdings to a leading mill. a
number of large mills have been repre-
sented in the market, but their presence
was more indicative of the taking up Of
wool previously bought than Of negotiating
of new supplies.
The manufacturers felt in duty bound
to keep their hands on the pulse of the wool
trade, but there is very little inducement
for them to buy wool at this time.
Prices are wonderfully well maintained,
considering the long dull spell to which the
market has been subjected. The greatest
strength is witnessed in foreign woods.
Sales in Boston for the week aggregated
2,727, COO pounds, of which 1,515Oc0 pounds
were domestic and 1.212,o00 pounds foreign.

Changers and the Coalers is, therefore,
| something over point. Sugar ruled gen.
efally above last nights close. rising at
one time ~. and this sustained the gen.
eral market for a time. A Jump Of 81 In
Consolidated Gas was also on the side of
sustained prices. but the eccentric move
ments OF the stock have come to be prac-
tically disregarded. Both of these stocks
fell away to yesterdays level in the sub
sequent weakness. There was a lack of
firmness In the price of st. Paul. notwith-
standing the increase of over $147. 900 In net
earnings for the second week in November.
The comparison Is with a poor week last
year, and was considered as not showing
the recent high rate Of earnings fully sus-
tafned. The declaration Of only the regular
quarterly dividend Of per cent on Bur-
line'ton brought realization sales In that
stock and also served to weaken somewhat
the Granger group.
Speculation was almost dead, and the
dealing In speculative stocks was confined
almost ientirely to room traders. Union
Pacific was very heavy. and lost IL net
This decline was coupled with a rise of
nearly points in the Kansas Pacific con-
sol bonds.
The bond market was much more active
relatively than stocks. and the high priced
investment issues were In special demand
and show gains Of from / to points. This
tendency In the security market was en-
tircly consistent with the remarkable ease
In the money mrket. There is steady
current Of funds toward this center and
liquidation of loans and a very limited
demand for the money thus set free. 1t
Is now known that last weeks increases
In the earnings Of the New York banks
was more than accounted for by operations
OF the account Of the Union Pacific sale
Loans on other accounts showed an actual
decrease and the limited supply Of COM
mercial paper offerings indicates that mer-
chants are not in need of funds at pres
ent. This Is in part due to the easy COL
lections all over the country and to the
large payment OF outstanding indebted
ness. which have made money plentiful at
interior points.
But there is some apprehension that 1t
may also be due to falling off in business
activity. The ease of the money market
is so marked that the Union Pacific pay
ments to the government will be made be-
fore they come due The total sales of all
