Every postmaster in the country
should lend helping hand to the
President and to the Postmaster Gen
eral in their efforts to bring the pos
tai service up to the standard ofexcel-
lence and honesty which the people
deserve and demand" That is what
President Dickerson said in his an
nual address before the recent post
masters convention in Boston
There is no department of the Gov
eminent which comes nearer to every
one than the postal service. People
do like to see it efficient and the adj
ministration is doing all in it's pc wer
to make it perfect in all respects.

hope to make the matter right by
stringing up the real culprit, if they

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec. 7.-All the interest in
ltOday's stock market up to the last hour
was confined to the movements OF a few
SpecialtieS These served to hold the mar
ket firm in spite of the dullness of the
trading elsewhere in the list until the time
for the publication of the President s
message. Immediately upon the appear
ance of that document in the news sheets
the market took on strength and anima-
ton and advanced comprehensively. The
railroad list came into the upward move
ment and the prominent active leaders
made gains of a point or more. The pro-
fessional traders. who did most of the
buying, gave as their motive their opinion
of the conservative tone OF the PreSi-
dents message in it's treatment of the
problem of corporation regulations, Later
in the day the enga gements of gold in
London for import became known. These
footed up over 81 100000. For the greater
part Of the day the active speculation in
Anna lgamated Copper predominated in the
whole market. Profit taking in Brooklyn
Transit went on throughout the day.
United States Steel preferred made up the
greater part of the remaining activity,
but it made little Roadway towards adj
vance until the final upward movement.
Call money was apDreciaby easier in
time, the highest rate being 61a per cent.
with a later drop to almost nominal rates.
ANA gamated's final rise to points over
Saturday kept the closing firm. Bonds
were dull and steady. Total sales, par
value, s.. 900. ono United States bonds were
all unchanged on the last call.

| ia of the freight train by the officials
of the road. Monday. Engineer Web
ster is held to have been negligent for
running by signals set against him and
the fiagman for not properly protecting
his train.
The growth Of the population in Ger
many in 1902, regarding which statis-
tics have just been tabulated was the
greatest known, amounting to O2,312
or 1851 per 1000 compared with 1909 in
1901, and 1853 the average for the last
10 years. The number of births during
the decade increased only slightly, re-
manning just above 100000 yearly.
The gain is due therefore, exclusively,
to the death rate which was 20.56 in
1902, compared with 22.6S for the pre-
vius decade.
The mandate of the United States
circuit court of appeals in the case of
the Western Union Telegraph Co. VS..
the American Bell Telephone Co, was
filed, Monday, in the circuit court at
Boston. BY it the latter tribunal is
directed to enter a decree for the
plaintiff for an accounting. The suit
was begun in 1883. The amount in
volved is we'll in the millions. The
mandate is in accordance with the de-
cision rendered by the court of ap.
peals several weeks ago, reversing the
decree of the circuit court.
