END OF THE WEEK.
A Very Active and Broad Market
in Wall Street.
The Public Were Again the Buyers at
the Opening.

New York, Nov. 12.-The process Of
digestion of railroad and corporate Sc
curities was continued on an enormous
scale at todays short session of the
stock exchange. The public We're in the
market as buyers again, at the open
ing, and very heavy orders placed with
commission houses We're executed
throughout an extended list, At the
same time recent buyers, who saw an
inviting and secure profit at the pres
ent advanced level of prices, were sell
ers. The result was very active and
broad market, the constant exchange OF
securities going on in the first hour re-
sulting in rather unimportant changes
In prices, except in a few cases. With
the completion of the buying orders,
the realizing offerings were III a way to
exceed the demand in the second hour,
and prices showed sagging tendency.
But the violent advance in Sugar to
123 ga, or almost eight points net,
caused a sympathetic hardening in pri-
ces, turned the traders to the bull side.
and induced the shorts to cover hast
lily. The result was a strong close not
withstanding the final slump of over
two point in Sugar, and net gains
reaching point or over in many cases.
The important movements in Atchis-
on securities was continued, and gave
tone to the whole>fnarket, the princi-
pal activity in the movement showing a
tendency to shift from the preferred
to the common stock, which advanced
l 2-S on the day. The preferred stock
and the bonds continued in large de-
mand, the former closing at a net adj
vance of l "a.
Other properties in which the leader
in this movement is interested were al
so notably strong, including Peoples
Gas, Rock Island and Brooklyn Tran
sit but the Federal Steel stocks show
ed a hating tendency. The strength
of Louisville and Southern preferred
was due to the excellent traffic returns
of the two roads for the first week in
November. The bank statement, which
was unfavorable, was disregarded.

A FIERCE FIGHT.
Exeter and Andover Keep
Each Other From Scoring.

Andover, Nov. 1.-THE Exeter-An-
dover game was exceedingly disappoint-
ing in that neither side scored. Both
teams were near the 5-yard line several
times. In the first half Exeter forced
the ball within three yards of Andover's
goal and lost the ball on downs.
Andover came near scoring in the
second half when from the center of
the field, by series of end and center
plays, she got the ball down in the east
corner of the field within two or three
yards of Exeter's goal, and was also
forced to surrender it on downs.
The field had all the constituents of
quagmire. This gave Andover's
heavy team a decided advantage But
with the exception of a period in the
second half, when she rushed the ball
so dangerously near her opponents
goal, Exeter was able to stop the
rushes against the line. Exeter's work
was quick and snappy, while Andover's
was slow behind the line. Both sides
kicked the ball freely but the slippery
field gave poor footing, and the backs
on both sides, in most cases, were
downed without gain.
There were q few sensational runs,
George Hersey, for Exeter, making a
beautiful run of so yards through a bro
ken field, after catching a kick, while
Cullinane, for Andover, dashed round
the right end for As yards, where he
spoiled his chance to score by dropping
the ball.

MUST OBEY.
Bread Law Will Be Rigidly
Enforced.

Since the announcement two weeks
ago that the mayor intended to have
the statue in regard to the sale of bread
enforced in this city by sealer of
Weights and Measures Herbert De Eos
Sc there has been good deal of talk
among the bakers of the city as to what
action they should take in the matter,
and in some cases, and in fact most
cases, there seems to be a disposition
to let matters take their course and see
what will come of it.
Thus far only one baker of any par
ticular note, ]. P. Wheeler & Company,
have complied with the provisions Of
the law by posting in the places where
they sell bread list of all the varieties
one sale, with the prices attached to
them. In addition to this, the law re-
quires that all bread sold at retail be
weighed in the presence of the pur-
chaser.
Up to date, and the time of grace set
by Mr.. De Fosse expired last night, this
firm is the only one that has made pro-
vision, SO far as is known, to comply
with the law. The Wheeler Company
has six or seven places in the city where
they retail the staff of life, and in all
of these they have posted the notices
and sliding scale of prices, as required
by law, and have made provision to
weigh the bread as sold.
This morning any dealer who hasn't
his lists posted and everything as the
great and general court of Massachu-
sets has decreed-it SHALL be, is liable
to a. fine of $40 for every sale of bread
he makes until the provisions of the
law are lived up to. This is not any
paper threat, so Mr.. De Fosse says,
and those dealers who think it well to
await Developments will be likely to
find them on the develope in short Or
der.
The law applies to every place in the
city that sells bread at retail no matter
what other trade may be carried on
in connection. But the Dlacards are
few and far between, or were SO yester-
day.
Mr. DeFosse did not care to state the
measures that would be taken against
the dealers that fail to take respectful
notice of the warning that was given
them in The Spy two weeks ago, but it
is certain that an arrest will mean
fine, for the law is plain in the matter.
The worst feature of the bread trade
in Worcester, however, is the manner
in which the provisions of the law in
regard to weight are disregarded. The
law distinctly lays down the weight
that each size of loaf shall conform to
especially in the poorer parts of the
city, have been robbing the people with
the most constituencies regularity in
this respect for many months In some
cases it was found that the loaves of
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-11-13

bread sold in such localities as East
Worcester and others were from a
quarter to half a pound lighter than
they had any right to be according to
the law.
Whether or not there has been any
Improvement in the quality Of the
bread sold and in the weight Of the
loaves since the official tests were made
several weeks ago, is a question, but it
is certain that it is this class of often
ders who will meet the least sympathy
and the harshest treatment from the
authorities if it becomes necessary to
invoke the strong arm Of the law to en-
sure the carrying out of Mr.. DeFosse' S
order. 1t does not matter so much If
a dealer is day or two late in getting
his placards printed, but if he is a day
or two late in getting the weight of
his loaves up where they ought to be
he is in danger of a sudden and I'M
pleasant call to contribute to the city
treasury.
The law provides a penalty of several
hundred dollars together with imprison-
ment for the man who sells adulterated
bread, and there is strong suspicion in
the mind of Mr.. DeFosse that some
trade of this kind is being carried on in
the city. He does not state definitely
that this is so, but if it is, the men who
are doing it are ina precaTious posi-
ton when analysis of their goods shows
the sealer that pure wheat is not being
used in their white bread.
Tomorrow morning may or may not
bring down the wrath to come on the
Idelinquents who have not provided Their
placards, but from the tone Mr. De
Fosse used In speaking of the matter
yesterday, it seems likely that there
will be definite action taken bright and
early Monday morning. At any rate il
behooves the dealers to incur the small
expense necessary to provide the pla-
cards before the go any farther and gel
into trouble unawares.

CHURCH UNION.
Official Report of the Belmont and SUM
mer Street Church Conference.

At the request of the pastor and
members of the Summer Street Church,
a meeting was held in the room of the
Worcester City Missionary Society, on
Friday evening, by the standing COM
mittees of both Belmont and Summer
Street churches, together with the rep
resentatives of the Missionary Society
and it's superintendent for an informal
conference concerning the union of the
two churches in the near future.
Rev. DR.. Mix was called to preside.
After prayer by Rev. Mr.. Bailey, the
chairman stated the object of the meet
ing and gave such information as was
in his possession regarding the prog
ress making toward bringing the mat
ter of relocation before the probate
court. He then called for an express
sion of opinion upon the matter of inn
mediate union on the part of all pres
emit The sentiment expressed was in
every instance favorable to union as
soon as it could be consummated. The
Summer Street Church, it was stated
had taken unanimous action in favor
of relocation The Belmont Church, it
was also stated, stands ready to join
the Summer Street Church by transfer
of membership, so as to cooperate with
il in effecting a relocation and the
building of new house of worship.
In order to carry into effect the una
nimous desire expressed, a committee
was appointed, consisting of two dea-
cons of each of the churches and the
two members of the executive commit
tee representing the missionary society,
to recommend plan of formal union,
fix the time for it and make such
other arrangements as may be neces-
sary, which will be presented to the
respective churches for their action at
as early a date as possible.

THE scHooLMAsTERs CLUE.

The Schoolmasters Club held their
eighth annual meeting and banquet in
Worcester yesterday. The banquet
was held in the State Mutual restau-
rant, at the conclusion of which the
program of speeches that has previous
ly appeared in the columns of The Spy
was gone through with. About 80
members of the club were seated at the
table, and joined in making the occa-
sion one of the pleasantest meetings of
the club. The speeches were of high
order, and calculated to be of a goodly
degree of assistance to the educators
in their future work.

THE GRAFTON BURGLARS.
Springfield Officers MAY Assist in their
Identification.

Letters have been received from
Springfield officers that seem to throw
light on the identity of the North Graf
ton burglars, The man giving his name
as Lawrence Day has been identified
as one Larry Lee, who has served time
in Springfield, and it is thought that
French Louie who was killed at the
time of the break, may be one William
b. Smith, who was arrested in Spring
field at the same time as Lee. The 9TH
err men will be viewed by the Spring
field officers tomorrow, and it is pos
sble that their former criminal record
will then be established.

He Carries Ward Five by Narrow Mar
gin of Six Votes.

The recount of the ballots cast in
ward five, which by the returns showed
an equal -S95-for both Car
berry and Hagberg, were recounted
simultaneously with those for the con-
gresMonal candidates, and the result
shows that Hagberg, the republican
candidate, is entitled to the election by
the small majority of six votes. The bal
lots were carefully gone over several
times and the result is undoubtedly
correct The results will be seen in the
accompanying table, together with the
