ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Nov 30--.The principal fac
tors In today s stock market were the state
mehts of the October earnings of the two
great railway systems of the country
namely, the Pennsylvania and Burlington.
Both statements made remarkably strong
showing. but that of the Burlington had
been discounted by more active specu-
lation on the rumors which have preceded
the publication for some time past, grossly
exaggerating the proportions of the in
crease, As consequence there was some
disappointment In speculative circles over
the burlington statement and some profit
taking, which Impaired a heavy tone to
the whole Granger group until late in the
day. In the final hour the prices Of the
group shared In the strength of the general
market, Rock Island led with net adj
vance of IN, on reports that the company's
refunding scheme had been perfected and
the sale of the first block of new per cent
bonds concluded, The October statement
of the Pennsylvania system, with its In
crease In gross earnings of 100000 and in
net of $l53, 100, was regarded as strongly
favorable. and as rejecting a large inn
provement in business. The stock of the
Pennsylvania road rose per cent untienl
its influence. and all the trunk lines showed
a marked degree of strength, New York
Central, Lake Shore and Canada Southern
rising from ] to points. Although the
Burlington statement compared with q
very strong month last year, and with one
less business day In the month than last
year, and although both the gross and net
earnings fell slightly below those Of Sep
temher of this year, the falling Oft from the

Boston Wool Market

BOSTON, Nov. 30.-The feature of the
wool market here for the past week has
been the extensive demand for Australian
woods, which resulted in the sale of 5000

the sales were only moderate. Territory
woods were quiet, but ruling rates and
prices prevail.
Fine medium and fine are selling for
so cents on the secured basis. Choice sta
pie lots range up to So cents, but the supply

Public Funds Paid for Fads

The original idea of the congressional
library having been entirely lost sight
of the librarian has recently added to
its alleged usefulness by providing a
room for blind readers and a lot of books
printed in raised type, and now ladies
are giving readings from Howells in the
room and it is said piano is to be added
presently and other things to make IL
a pleasant loafing place. This is all very
nice, but what has it to do with the liz
brary of congress, and why should the
country pay the bills? No wonder this
is a billion-dollar country.-Providehcs
