Special to the Register.
NEW YORK, May 16.-London was
narrow but strong to-day, with adj
vances extending to about two points
as the extreme. The demand for Amer
leans was fairly good.
On Wall street the market opened
firm, with small advances over yester-
days close, and while nervous was
fairly strong all day. The market is
now within reasonable limits, and the
volume of business is again normal,
the sales to-day being but $4,000
Gnares, beneath the million mark for
the FIRST time, during the middle of
week, for several months. Urgent liqui-
dalton seems to be at an end, ard
strong interests are picking up stocks
without bidding up the market, as 3
little good buying is quickly followed
by advancing quotations. It really
looks as though inside and well back
ed people were looking around quietly
after good things, and were taking
them where possible, without exciting
attention or remark.
Money was very easy to-day, ranging
from 2 to per cent, the last loan be-
ing made at az per cent, with offerings
after the close at per cent. The mar
ket looks healthy, and there is a very
general sentiment that the crisis is past.
The close was generally strong, al
though opening prices were shaded in
many instances. For instance, while
Atchison common gained p, preferred
lost 1 point. B. & o. dropped IL,
Burlington gained ", Chesapeake &
Ohio lost ", Missouri Pacific lost Il,
Northern Pacific common 3 points, and
the preferred gained u, while the net
loss in Union Pacific from the opening
was 21s, Wabash and Wheeling and
Lake Erie gained fractionally.
In the industrial class United States
Steel did not quite hold its own at the
close, upon very moderate transactions
as compared with Wednesday.
The sales for the week so far are as
follows.

WELCOME OUR BAPTIST FRIENDS

This is the time of year when conven-
lions are most numerous. Hardly a
week passes at this season when there
are not visitors from all over the Com
monwealth and sometimes from all
over New England here to attend the
annual meeting of the societies in
which they are interested.
Worcester has a central location and
it is extremely convenient for these
conventions. 1t has ample accommoda-
lions and people, of course, like to
come to Worcester at least once a year
1t does them good.
This week the Baptists are having
their anniversary meetings in this city.
The Spy devoted a page yesterday to
their meetings and throughout the week
70 the meetings will be fully reported in
The Spy.
We believe that as a matter of pride
in this city everything should be done
to make the visits Of these delegates
as pleasant as possible. The reputa-
ton of the city is largely established
by the conditions that visitors like our
Baptist friends find when they are
here on business of this kind.

JUSTICE JEROME

Justice Jerome, the vigorous and en-
ergetic candidate for district attorney
of New York city on the Low ticket,
spent three years at Amherst College.
He comes of the well known Jerome
family of New York which produced
Lady Randolph Churchill. She and the
justice are cousins and he is therefore
competent to know whereof he speaks
when he talks about the uselessness of
the smart set in politics. He says:
4 know the clubs of this town, but
I have seldom found a man in them
who ever gives a thought to his coun-
try or his city. know the people who
go to Bar HarbOr Lenox and New
port, and I know what they do there.
Why, there's hardly one of them wor-
thy Of a decent burial. A few choice
spirits among you have done some
thing, but they are all condemned by
the rest of you as cranks That's what
you do, you criticise evils that you
never lift a finger to remedy"

as for long years, and until my de-
parture from Germany, 1 was at the
head of an association comprising
10000 independent members of the
trade and industry of the German
capital.
Mr.. Goldberger's expression of very
friendly feeling toward the United
States, shared by himself and friends,
were doubtless sincere. His presence
in itself indicates how prominent the
United States has become in the eyes
of the Germans. Yet, trade war may
be conducted very politely and without
the animosity that characterizes other
struggles. He said further:
There has been much discussion re-
Gently in the newspapers of both
countries about certain differences be-
tween the two countries. Wherever
there is a lively commercial exchange
between two great civilized nations, as
is the case between Germany and
America, such differences cannot fail
to exist. But above these differences
there exists a deep feeling of sym
pathy between our two nations. In
course of time this deep feeling of sym
pathy- viii, I am certain, reduce, if it
does not eqHalize these differences
especially if the competition of our
two nations continues to further in
crease on the friendly basis of active
industrial and intellectual work. This
hope seems all the more justified when
one reflects how fundamentally trivial
the nature of all differences between
the United States and Germany both
was and is"
The words are sensible. Mr. Gold
berger w4fi, no doubt, find cordial
welcome wherever he goes. Americans
are not likely to begrudge him any in
formation he may CLEAN. 1t is more
their nature to hope that his visit
may bring profit to himself and to those
whom he represents.

COUNTING The NEW YORK
-. MlAsiA RlTX

The battle in New York city will be
the centre of interest in the whole
country next Tuesday. 1t will not be
important from a purely partisan
standpoint. One cannot judge from the
result how New York city is likely to
go at the next presidential election,
but the struggle between good govern
ment and bad government, which is
distressing so many cities at this time,
is being thrashed out in New York
in a most conspicuous way.
The government Of New York CITY
is being held up to the scorn of the
whole civilized world The ticket of the
Fusionists is being supported by the
Republican party, the Citizens Union
and a number of Democrats and in
dependent organizations, all known as
the Fusionists, and they are already
claiming the election by over seventy
thousand. At this distance this figure
looks absurd
The Democrats are making no bold
predictions and their leaders have re-
fused so far to guess at the final fig
ures. Still they claim that they shall
carry both New York county and
Queens county.
The New York Tribune figures the
Tammany estimate of the plurality of
Shepard at nearly sixty thousand This
indicates nothing but that the contest
is close. The canvass tells little or
nothing to the men actively at work
except to indicate an enormous total
vote
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-01
THE CITY ELECTION

There is no Disgusting the fact that
the public interest in the city election
is finally waking up, but there seems
to be no central authority in the Re
publican party to give an indication
of whose chances are best for the NOM
nation.
The Republicans of this city want
a good candidate this year or they
want the partisan principle abolished.
There is no use in a city election Of
attempting to drive a man to the polls
to vote for a Republican simply be-
cause he is a Republican. A man to be
elected mayor Of the city of Worcester
must have the qualifications of mayor
not the qualification of controlling
caucuses and manoeuvering nomina-
lions.
Hon. A. S. Pinkerton, Hon. Joseph
H. Walker or some man of equally
good standing should be nominated.

THE SCHLFY INOtIIRv

The Schley court of inquiry may do
the country a lot of good; it may clear
the air. The decision when finally rem
dered, may be so conclusive that we
can all agree with it and drop all
wrangling hereafter. But, certainly, the
present outlook for such an outcome
of the affair is not promising. It looks
as if every day added to the bitterness
of the feeling that has been engen-
dered by the differences of opinion and
differences in observation during the
battle at Santiago.
The court can do nothing to add to
the glory that Sampson and Schley
won at Santiago, it seems to US. It is
to be hoped that it will not detract
from the glory of either.

TO STUDY AMERICAN METHODS

L. NJ Goldberger is in this country
for the purpose of investigating in
dustrial and commercial conditions,
having been sent by the German gov
eminent.
That he is here on such a mission
goes to prove that those Germans who
complain bitterly that Americans have
been studying their methods and max
ing use of them, do not represent the
feeling Of the nation. If they did Ger
many would scarcely be so inconsistent
as to send an emissary to the United
States to look into American methods.
According to an interview published
IN the New York Times, Mr.. Goldberg
er said:
What I learn will serve TO promote
the recognition Of whatever justifable
peculiarities you may have. What 1

any way secret. and have no desire

AN HONORABLE AND LEARNED
BODY

The Spy gave nearly a page yester-
day morning to the report of the
American Antiquarian Society. Al
though the members interested in the
Antiquarian Society are limited to one
hundred and forty, it is one of the
most ancient and honorable learned
societies Of the United States, one in
which the whole country, Worcester in
particular, takes a pride and satisfac-
ton.
The founder Of The Spy was the
founder of the Antiquarian Society
and, therefore, The Spy has a particu-
lar pride in the prosperity of the an
cient society which has just held its
annual meeting here.
