to call, in the Masonic hall Saturday
evening. The meeting was called to
order by Chairman of Committee G.

license because it is for the best in
terest of the village save some of our
opponents who believe it to the best
interest to vote it out, but we believe
the best way to control the liquor
traffic is to license IT," Il
He then complimented the council,
and said: "Ours opponents tell us

The Break in Stocks.

The break in stocks during the last
week was a bad one, the total amount
of the shrinkage in values running, it
is believed, into the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars Copper stocks figured
largely by reason of their prominence
but the break was general, extending
along the entire line.
This was in no sense a local condi-
ton, for the London market suffered
equally with those of New York and
Boston. In fact there seems no rea-
son to doubt that the break in New
York was essentially a reflection of
monetary conditions in London.
Each succeeding day makes it clearer
that the financial situation is becoming
decidedly strained at all of the great
money centers. Stringency of a severe,
and even threatening character, is re-
ported at Berlin as well as at London.
For some days rumors have been afloat
that the Bank of England might have
