FEES FOR NOVEMBER.
Receipt from CharterIng Corporations Re-
duced as Compared Last Year.

Trenton, Dec. 10-According to the
report of the Secretary of States office
for the month of November, the filing
fees of new corporations reached only
So, 4O5, as against 500, 4O1 for the month
of November, 1902.
This Is a decrease of nearly 500, 900,
and occasioned, in the estimate of
Corporation Clerk joni Brooke, by a
general depression in business.
The number of new concerns chart
cred in November 1902, was 10, as
against 100 last month.
The enormous business that New
Jersey has done chartering large cor
porations has awakened other States
to this possible source of revenue, and
by initiating New Jersey laws, the
influence of the other States is now
being felt by the New Jersey corpora
ton office.

Cuban Cnbinct Has Compiled.

HAVANA, Dee. 10.-The cabinet at
a meeting ordered the establishment
of a custom house at Nucva Corona.
The principal port Of the Isle of Pines.
The government thus complies with all
the requests of the United States resi-
dents of the Isle of Pines with the ok
ception of that relating to an American
school. 1t is believed, however, that
the school already established by the
Americans on the island will be given
government aid. 1t is thought that
these concessions will dispose of much
of the opposition at Washington to the
ratification of the reciprocity treaty.
