In his address the other evening at the
First Presbyterian Church in this city the
Rev. DR.. w. a. Bartlett made compliment
airy reference to President Roosevelt's
message to Congress. He did not dwell
upon the point which came up i'm .identaIly
in the course of his remarks DR. Bartlett
has spent several years in Washington and
is thoroughly well acquainted with public
men and public affairs. He was in Utica
yesterday, and in response to request to
give at greater length his opinion regard
ing the Presidents message, he said:
1T is difficult to take snap shot at a
thought on all the great problems of this
Nation and the world 1t makes the i'm
preston of the President under his full
sense of responsibility, registering with
ease his conclusions, and not struggling
pen-in-hand for opinions and rhetoric. He
does not make rehash of the reports of
his Cabinet ministers, but handles in a
mastery manner the burning questions of
the hour in national and international
affairs. 1t is pellucid English, with just
sufficient explanations to support his
views. On the fOrty-tive topics, as marked
in the Press. he has positive opinions or
urgent recommendations to Congress. He
disposes of the Anarchist. immigration and
the Chinese invasion according to the pop
ular demand. He handles with fresh intel
Hgence irrigation and forestry and forces
them to the front for new legislation.
After granting to combinations of capital

development, he suggests their control in

ment, giving a higher motive to all out

one would suspect ii of a sinister eye to
future advantage. 1t is step toward per-
manent prosperity and peace. 1t invites
arbitration and international friendship
and is a reach toward universal brother
hood. With its intellectual positiveness it
has delicate human sympathy and refined
appreciation. 1t opens with sobs over the

reminiscent sorrow over the death of two

A DECREASE In TONNAGE
THE CAR SHORTAGE AND LACK OF
POWER CUT DOWN TRAFFIC.
Employees of Roads who Are Averse
to the Pension PIan-GeneraI and
Personal Railway News.

Contrary to expectations, the train rec
ords show a falling off i'm loaded car move
ment not for want of freight to move.
but due to more pronounced car shortage
and the fact that many locomotives are in
the shops and out of service temporarily.
Had the Pennsylvania, the Big Four, the
Lake Erie &s Western, the Monon and the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton plenty of
cars and power to move them promptly
business would be at it's maximum. At
every station there are delayed freights
awaiting cars TO carry them. While there
is but little grain moving in other lines Of
traffic business is heavy beyond all preced
ents. and general freight agents state that
as soon as one lot of delayed freights is
cleared up another puts in an appearance
and it seems impossible to make much
Roadway. At Eastern points cars are be-
ing unloaded very slowly, and Western
lines now refuse TO let their cars leave
their own lines. Coupled with the car
shortage is a scarcity of locomotives, de-
spite the fact that most of the lines named
nave considerably increased their power
IN the last twelve months West-bound
business Is unusually heavy, and a con-
siderable per cent. of it is delayed freights,
that wanted for the holiday trade and
there is much complaining over the matter;
Der, live stock and refrigerator cars, the
latter being used more extensively in NOV
mig fruits and vegetables. Box cars are
being utilized to extent never before
known in handling the lines of freight
usually carried on fiat and gondola cars.
Weather conditions the latter part of the
week were not so favorable to traffic, but
as yet there has been but little reduction

against H,O34 in the corresponding week

DEALERS THINK THEY DIDN'T DO
ENOUGH BUSINESS.
Prices Are Firm and High and Look

SuppIy-The Trade in Grains.

In the week ended on Dec. IA trade was
disappointing in volume. Two rainy days
and a snowstorm on Saturday were among
the drawbacks to business Besides this,
as is usual with the approach of the holt
days In some lines, trade falls off percep-
dbly. Dealers in fancy notions confec-
tioneries and the like are very busy, but
with the dry-goods houses, the produce
merchants and on Commission row trade
has been rather slow. Prices on Commits
sion row have been well maintained, and
there is hardly an article that is lower
than a week ago, while several are higher
Retailers are complaining that trade has
fallen off since Thanksgiving, but this does
not affect prices, which, on the articles
most used, rule steady. Irish potatoes
apples and all fruits and vegetables are
selling slowly, but ii is thought that with
milder and fair weather business will i'm
prove and there will be no room for COM
paint Flour rules easier, with the weaker
tone TO the wheat market but other prod
ucts OF wheat corn and oats are firm and
move rapidly, as they are taking the place
of potatoes to some extent Sugars and cof-
fees are firmer and all staple groceries rule
steady and firm. Druggists report trade
good. Llnseed oil is stronger, but other
lines are unchanged. There is no i'm
proVement in the poultry and game mar
kets, while prices are practically the same.
The supply of game and of hens and chick
ems Is large. Turkeys are not abundant,
but farmers are supposed to be holding
them for the holidays. The supply of fresh
eggs is more liberal and prices rule easier,
but dealers are not inclined to make con-
cess1onS, as they believe weather condi-
tons will improve the market soon and
force up prices. Butter, if choice, is firm
and in good request. Poor stock sells
slower and at low figures. Dried fruits
on the Pacific coast are higher and dealers
here are disposed to follow the example.
Present prices rule strong.
