Waterbury Democrat., 1901-05-02

The biggest fight in the legislature this season outside of the Waterbury consolidation measure is that railroad war, in which the Consolidated and Connecticut Western have locked horns. There was q long drawn out hearing on the question of allowing the latter line to run its road from Tariffville to Springfield. The best legal talent in the state was present, and the verdict of the committee is now awaited. It is a long time since the war first started, and it has been carried on from year to year. The people of Hartford. whom the new road, it is said, will most benefit, are divided on the question, and many of the prominent citizens of that place oppose the bill. Again it is said that a syndicate of rich men from neigh boring state have an interest in the new extension. They want the bill passed so that they can get back at the Consolidated managers, bring them to terms, and hurt their freight busi- ness. If there is such a scheme as this back of the bill no doubt the com mittee will unearth it and give the leg islature all the facts. If the only ob- ject of the passage of the bill is to in jure the Consolidated road, which is now giving good service, then the bill should be buried. Attorney Robbins in his closing argument in opposition to the bill said: ''afany people have thought that the Consolidated road was pretty cheeky to oppose this pc tition. '.Afr Robbins's presentation" says the New Haven Leader editorially, twill revise this impression and reverse it into the impression that the Con- necticut Western was pretty cheeky to go before the legislature asking for the privileges contained in the petition, particularly after the courts had one and all ruled against it. The legisla- ture'of this state does not convene and continue in session for the benefit of New York promoters seeking to unload bankrupt stock on corporations that include several hundred Connecticut citizens, and which is conducted hon. estly and in a business way"

Some Little Hints on the Summer Fashions

T IT ERE are few little points about
 summer fancies that were given
 to me by dressmaking friend in New York. They are worth con. sidering:
 "Tell your readers to have bolero jacket made for summer wear" she said. "They are sure to be worn all through the summer season, for that is the verdict of Paris. They will be worn quite short, descending but two or three inches below the arms and forming a straight line round the fig ure. or far longer--that is to say, reaching almost to the wais istline-but still allowing the waistband to be vis- ible at the back between them and the skirt. They are made long in front and frequently pointed, and are shown less often accompanied by chemiscttes than waistcoats, which have close-tit. ting fronts. Many of such waistcoats are fashioned in white cloth or flannel, in which an allover design is stamped out; they are lined with colored silk forming g transparent, and are very pretty.
 "Tell them also to use velvet ribbon and lots of it. They can scarcely get too much. Black velvet ribbon, in graduated widths is one of the very ap- proved modes of decoration for trans parent lowered materials, and later on founces will be so employed in the

He Was Dazed.

"A word to the wise is sufficient. !"
There is no doubt but that every young
wife who reads the following many
times true story from Puck will profit
by it, and always give Henry dear"
sample OF just the shade of ribbon she
wants, with plainly written instruc-
tions pinned, or rather glued, upon it.
When she does she will save him much
modification, and herself much trou-
BILE.
Henry, dear, said Mrs. Newbride
to her husband the other morning, Il
wish, il it won't be too much trouble,
dear, that you'd bring me home yard
of orange ribbon this evening. don't
want it so very wide nor very narrow;
something between an inch and an inch
and half, or, at most an inch and
three quarters will be about right. Be
sure and get pretty shade OF orange,
dear, and ia prefer IL with one side
satin; for the other, gros-grain will do,
but / think you can easily get the 9th.
err satin II you look around little; and
be sure, dear, not to get pico-edged
ribbon, but one just plain corded
edge; and don't get sleazy piece; and
don't get any shade but orange; not a
real vivid orange, either, but a piece
that will look well with pale green,
and don't pay over thirty-fve or forty
cents for it: and don't get red or blue
or green or pink by mistake. You
won't forget, will you dear? / must
have the ribbon tonight
Twas it any wonder that when the
dazed Henry came home he brought
three yards of sky-blue watered ribbon
or that, when his wife saw 1t she sank

BREAKS in ALL CEREALS
GAINS OF A GOOD OPENING ARE
MORE THAN ELIMINATED.
Wheat at One Time 3-Sc Up-Corn
Loses 5-Sc and Hog Products
Close at Small Declines.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1S.-Numerous bearish
conditions, abetted by liberal selling. after
a firm opening. brought a sharp slump in
all grains to-day. May wheat closing 1sc
down. corn kd%c lower and oats Aq2sc
lower. Provisions closed 21kg5c down.
At the outset nearly every bit Of news
favored an upturn in wheat. Gables were
frmer, receipts, both local and Northwest
ern, were very small and promised to be
smaller because Of hard railroading during
the cold weather. and May shorts were
buying. The trade was not large, but the
general tone was one of buoyancy at the
opening. May started a shade to &c up
at soc to S01sQSOAc and rapidly advanced to
s02sc. When wheat bought early began
to come out for profits there also developed
several bearish factors that at once sent
prices backward. Seaboard reported no ex-
port sales and even indicated that for
eigners were reselling there. The report
of a disturbed state of affairs in the Min
neapOlis market and consequent re-selling
OF flour by millers also troubled bulls.
Outsiders were doing practically no buying
and the holiday dizziness prevailed against
the early advance. May wheat started
On the slide downward and touched 1850,
closing weak, 12c lower, at 79%479hc. Lo-
cal receipts were only IL cars. none of con-
tract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 56 cars, a total Of $50 against 500
last week and 43 a year ago. Primary re-
ceipts were 773,7 bu, compared with 715,-
coo bu last year.. Seaboard clearances in
wheat and flour equaled 247,O 900 bu.
Corn was active for a short time after
the opening, commission houses taking a
quantity of long property. But when wheat
began to slump corn lost it's hold and fol-
lowed. The cash situation was not good
and the general Christmas dullness did the
rest to press prices down. May opened
steady, sold up to PC, but reacted and
closed weak, kQ5sc lower, at $3.50. Re
ceipts were only 81 cars.
Oats were rather dependent on the other
grains and were quiet. Early in the day
there was some professional bulling, but
on the weakness in the other pits May,
which had shown fair early strength, de-
clined and closed weak, AQ3c down, at
447sc. Receipts were SO cars.
Provisions were dull and followed grains.
Lower prices for hogs also depressed this
market slightly. The opening was steady.
but a fair amount of realization brought
an easy close. May pork closed 21z45c down
at SIG. 75Q16 M; lard, &c off at $3.50, and
ribs, 2Ac lower at $500.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat
20 cars; corn, 20; oats, IS; hogs, 1900 head.

Is PIYOTED ON COPPER
MARKET TURNS AND RETURNS WITH
THE BROWN METAL.
Breaks with the Cut i'm the Price of
shorts Cover-Money Is Easier.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s-The principal eff
fort of operators in stocks to-day con-
tinued to be TO solve the enigma of the
copper question. The cratic fluctuations
OF Amalgamated Copper reflected the un-
certainty OF mind OF the professional oper-
ators In this stock, who largely monop-
olized the dealings. Traders of the class
who usually depend upon the toss of a
coin or upon the aggressive leadership of
larger operators for a~ctuating motive
talked glibly OF technical conditions in the
copper trade. OF actual developments the
additional cut in the prices of copper was
the feature Of the day. The weakness yes
terday In Amalgamated. which continued
this morning. was due to the assumption
that there would be further declines in
the price OF the company's product. The
rally OF AZ points in the price of the stock
after the reduction of selling prices by the
United Metals Selling Company indicated
that yesterdays selling was by profess
sional bears, and was overdone. The fact
that the former difference between the
price Of Lake Superior and electrolytic
copper was narrowed by to-day's changes
was taken as an indication of an adjust
ment OF differences Of opinion between the
controlling interests In Amalgamated Cop
per n Calumet & Heela, and 1T has been
suppoSed the latter interests maintained
that Amaisamated had an undue advan-
tage from the relative c~heapness OF cleo
trolyttc copper. Amalgamated closed at
the top price, 3 points above last night
and six points above the low record price.
Further selling of Standard Oil in the out
side market at as low as $50 was attributed
TO sympathy with the in Anal
gamated Copper. The general market
showed a disposition TO ignore the early
in copper. The motive for the
underlying strength in the market was the
easier tone in the money market, call loans
ruling for the most part at . per cent.
Fears Of further gold exports are subsiding
and confidence is growing that the period
until the reAux of funds into the channels
Of the money market will be safely glided
over. The tranScontinental and grain
carrying roads. especially st. Paul and
Union Pacific, were effective leaders in the
advance. The announcement OF the cut In
copper, while it drove the shorts to cover
and rallied ii effectually, caused a sharp
reaction in the general market. The bears
conferred their attack on Manhattan, fore
ing it 3z under the best. The high-prfced
cOalers and a number of specialties, espe-
cially the Cotton OIL stocks, Western
Union, Pacific Mail. Colorado Fuel and the
distillinG stocks, showed notable strength.
The b~uOyancy finally developed in Anal
gamated Copper rallied the general market
and caused q firm closing.
The bond market was active and nrm.
Total sales at par value were $2,115,OOO.
United States old tours, coupon, and the
coupon, a The threes, coupon, declined
Il per cent. on the last call.
Following are the days share sales and
the recorded price changes
