POOLS CEASE TO WORK.
Boston Stocks as a Rule
Marked With
Heaviness.

1t begins TO look as if the late October
Tfss IN tfIe stock market had discounted
the elections, for surely there has been
little disposition to increase the com
mitments on the long side of the specu-
lation since Tuesday. The public, or
commission, demand for stocks, after
an advance averaging IS in leading
stocks during the month of oc-
tober, carrying prices nearly up to the
years highest, back in April, has not
materialized In fact; the Leather man
ipulation has not been good encour-
agemeht to outside support, and plenty
OF selling for proft-taking, the market
very naturally recedes. This tendency
10 increased by the renewed evidences
OF monetary stringency, the rate on the
stock exchange today ruling at 10Q12
per cent. It seems evident that cliques
and poals are resting for a time; they
have given the market a good lift while
engaged in pyretechnic displays in GER
tain specIalties, and now comes a set
Ting period. Traders are taking profits
and there has been a general scaling
down OF values today
United States Leather was marked
down from 3lA to 201a, with a rally of
8; preferred had a u decline; Sugar
lost 3, with rally Of l. and the promin-
ent specialties generally declined from
one to two points, while standard stocks
participated substantially in the drop.
Still the dlvidend-paying railway stocks
stood up comparatively WELL as they
have done heretofore. The money pinch
Goes not affect them so much as the
specialties, for the reason that the spec
ulative activity well nigh has departed
from them and has centered in the in
dustriais, transit and low-priced fea-
lures. At p. m. the average of de-
clines from yesterdays closing prices
was but 70. or about a point since the
close Monday. not a bad showing by
any means. After a months advance

CONSOLIDATED WILL PAY.
It WIN Stand the Expense Of Regarding
But Will Not Do the Work.

Officials Of the Consolidated Street
Railway company are willing to pay
the cost estimated by the city engineer
for regarding haywood street. although
they are unwilling to accept a decree
embodying a clause that they shall
grade the street at their expense. That
is, the company is willing to pay the
city $500, and let the city re-grade the
street. It still objects to accepting the
decree with the clause referred to, in
its present wording. The company is
willing to contribute sum, which, ac-
cording to the estimate of the city, is
sufficient to offset expense Of re-grad-
ing the street. and the chances are
more than equal that the board Of al
dermen will accept the order.

been called at II o'clock noon Saturday,

way company win be presented. The

FINANCIAL NOTES.


The latest bear point on the Mexican
telephone is that the Mexican govern
ment is going into the telephone bust
ness. Why wouldn't it be good plan
to sell the company to the govern
ment?
It is officially announced that the
Anaconda Mining CompaIE will not is
sue an annual report this year. Who
expected that they would? When did
the STANDARD Oil people ever issue a re-
port Of anything unless they were COM
PEELED to do so?
The Adams Express Company has
declared It's semi-annual dividend of 2
per cent payable December 10 to stock
holders Of record November 10.
A trust company has been organized
In New York which viii make a spe-
cialty of protecting the minority in
terests in organizing. This is a new
idea here, although 1t has been car
ried out in London, as most Of the
railroads have been built upon a safe
financial basis. The work Of this COM
pany will undoubtedly be confined
chiefly TO industFials. One thing is
absolutely certafn-in the period of ad-
versity that may come it will work
havoc with many of the new trusts.
Their common stocks are, for the most
wise enough to sell before the decline,
viii need the services of such a ma
ture. In time, the trusts on the rail-
roads will be reorganized and recon-
structed on a sound and stable basis.
The amount Of taxation placed upon
some Of the railroads is striking. The
New York Central paid In taxes this
year s203S 900. This was equivalent
to II per cent of the net earnings Of
operations before the deduction of the
taxes; more than per cent on the en-
tire capital of the company; and the
net less than Ss52 per mile of the roads
operated. This is as much per mile as
many roads expend for maintenance,
although the New York Central ex-
pended 1858 per mile fer that item dur
ing the past fiscal year. Included in
this were large expenditures for re-
newals Of bridges and other better
ments.
The scare over United States Oil Sc
curities failed to materialize Indeed,
there really was no reason why it
should.
1t is reported that the next semi-an-
nual dividend on Tamaraek will be SIS
per share, making $40 per share for the
year.
Senator Clarke now claims to own Sc
per cent Of the United States Yerden

FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Requests of City Departments viii Be
Considered Today.

A meeting of the city council com
mittee on finance has been called at II
o'clock this morning, when several
matters Of Importance in the way of
voting additional appropriations to
several city departments viii be taken
up. The overseers of the poor want
$1,000, of which $4,000 will be applied to
the Home farm account and $1,000 to
city relief. The school committee has
asked for $4,000, the public buildings
department $500 and the fire depart
ment also wants more money. Just
how some of the appropriations will be
pieced out Is an interesting problem
for the city financiers.

spirit that few in the ha what
a difficult thing was being
and so sweet and strong was & he sustained
note in the vicinity of high c, that it
was scarcely recognized as a high note.
This is the selection Miss Monaghan sang
at the Bangor music festival of recent
date, and for which she received such en-
couraging words. As recall she sang
"Bonny Sweet Bessie'', a dainty Scotch
ballad, SO woefully sad in the ending
that tears could be heard in the penetrat-
ing sweetness OF Miss Monag hams voice.
This was not enough, and at her third
appearance, the singer gave Charles Dem
nee's beautiful "Sleep, Little Baby of
Mine', her rendering being most exquis-
lite. After another intermission,
Miss Monaghan gave the closing mum bers

and "Sing; Smile, Slum ber", by Gounod.
And, by the way, Miss Monag ban takes
no credit for her voice; when friends in
