NEW YORK, Jan. Speculative
sentiment underwent several rather
abrupt transitions today. The trad
ing apparently was in the hands Of pro-
1eSSlonal operators almost entirely. The
hrSt distinct movement in the market,
after period of listlesS f1uctua tons,
followed the publication Of the Novem-
Der earnings statement of the Penn
SylVania railroad. The rate at which
the rise in operating expenses in this
representative railroad system was seen
TO outStrip the gains in gross earnings
served to enforce doubts caused by a
similar tendency which has become
general throughout the railroad world.
The Pennsylvania lines directly op-
Grated showed an increase in gross
earnings for November of 1851, 800, but
expenses increased 1888, 100, so that
net earnings decreased $671, 800. On the
lines west of Pittsburg and Erie there
was reported an increase in gross earn
ings of $93,600, with a growth of $685.
zoo In operating expenses, resulting in
a decrease in net earnings of $414,-
600. The whole railroad list weakened
sharply under the influence of this
showing. Prices in some important
stocks, including Pennsylvania, reced-
ed to a point or more below last night.
There was an animated recovery on
the appearance of the bank statement,
with the unexpected recuperadOn Of
1854, 60 in the surplus reserves of the
banks.
Almost Unknown Before.
Such a showing is almost unprece-
denied for the first week in January.
That the banks should have been able
to get through the January settlement.
which required resources in excess of
all previous records, with a merely
nominal increase in loans was in itself
a pleasant surprise to those who had
felt nervous about the money situa-
ton. In addition, the gain in cash
for the week reached $5.435, 600, which
is almost three million dollars in ex-
cess of the largest preliminary esti-
mates. The redeposit of cash by the
retail shops, making up the proceeds of
Christmas trade, is attributed as the
cause of this showing. The recovery
in prices met heavy selling and the
market closed easy and at net changes
mixed. Amalgamated Copper and
United States Steel were notably firm
throughout. Manhattan was weaken
ed by the requirements made upon the
company by the state railroad comis-
sion for increased equipment.
Bonds have shown strength in SYM
pathy with stocks, but the principal ac-
tivity has been in the speculative con-
tingent paying issues. United States

A DEPARTMENT STORE.

Into Departments.

With the beginning of the year, Chas.
f. Veysey inaugurates department
store in Aberdeen. With his stores in
Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Montesano.
Mr.. Veysey makes his purchases on a
large scale. Among commercial men he
is rated as an exceedingly shrewd buyer,
and his incrs asing business in Aberdeen
demanded the creation of separate de-
partments in order to properly handle
the business.
The dress goods, shoes, clothing and
gents furnishing goods will be in one
department, under the management OF
Mr.. Samuel Hawkins.
Miss Emma Heckner will have charge
OF the ladies furnishing department,
which is located on the third floor. The
notions department will be in control OF
Mrs. Gertrude Sanborn, and Messrs.

COMMONER FOR 1908.
William J. Bryan's Paper and the semi.weekly
HERALD.

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
will be especially interesting and in
structive during the present session Of
congress. The action of this congress
will probably determine the issues upon
which the next presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commorer proposes
to carry on campaign of education and
organization to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal attention, The Commoner contains
q Current Topic department, wherein a
non.par tisan discussion of topics of
timely interest and other valuable infor-
nation will be found. The Home
Department is conducted by an expert
enced woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who is an
authority on the art OF cooking in all
that the term implies. This department
alone is worth the subscription
price The other departments Of the
paper are all interesting and ably con-
Quoted, among which is summary Of
the worlds news told in narrative style,
and Maupin's Observation-Disclosures
Common or Not-contains o. iginal anec-
dotes and wit, moral lessons in homely
phrase and verse, and appeals to old and
young alike.
The Commoner as whole is clean,
entertaing and instructive, and its rapid
increase in circulation-now amounting
to l4O,OOO-is proof of the papers
siren tn and influence
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The Commoner can
be supplied at very law rate with the
Semi Weekly Aberdeen HERALD, both
papers for one year for 1925. This offer
apple, to both new and renewal SUBJ
scriptions, and should be taken advan-
tage of without delay. All orders should
be sent to the Aberdeen HERALD office.

LAW SUSTAINED.
Supreme Court Holds Good the Law Protect
inc Creditors,

decision that will be referred to by
the wholesale merchants of the entire
United States and is of the vital interest
to the wholesale dealers OF this state
was rendered Tuesday by the supreme
court, of the state, holding that the law
passed by the legislature at the last SEES
sion covering "sales in bulk" is con.
stitutional.
Under the provision of this law a man
who sells his business is required to give
to the purchaser an affidavit showing the
due each. The purchaser is also re-
CURED to exact such an affidavit, and he
must further see that the money paid by
him is applied on these outstanding ac-
counts pro rata. Ii the purchaser fails
to ask for and get such an affidavit the
creditors may hold him for the debts Of
the man he bought out.
The case passed on by the supreme
court was that of Join H. Mcdaniel VS..
the J. J. Connolly Shoe Company, OF
Tacoma. A. J. Burchell and William
Turner bought the business of the J. j..
Connolly Shoe Company, and no affi-
davits were given or required. The
claims of the creditors were assigned to
John II. Mcdaniel, an attorney. In the
superior court OF Pierce county the law
was declared to be unconstitutional on
the ground that it was class legislation.
The creditors were inclined to accept
the decision OF the Pierce county Judge
as final, not caring to appeal the case
on account OF the expense. At this juno
ture the Merchants Association of Sc
ettle and the National Association of
Credit Men stepped in and put up the
money to carry the case to the supreme
court. It was placed in the hands Of
Leopold M. Stern, of Seattle, who made
the argument before the supreme court,
and the decision Of the Pierce county
Judge was reversed.
Laws similar to this one are on the
statute books of fifteen states, but this
is the first time the constituhonality of
the law has been passed upon by a SUI
preme court. All the commercial bodies
of the country have, therefore, been
watching the outcome of this case, for
while the law has been questioned in
other states, no appeal was ever made
before.
The law was passed in this state at
the urgent request Of the Merchants
Association to prevent retail merchants
from selling out their business to strsng.
ers and leaving their creditors without
remedy.

TAX DECISION,
Supreme Court Makes Another important
Decision.

Supreme Court Makes Another important
Decision.
The supreme court has reversed the
decision of the lower court of Pierce
county in a tax case of general import.
ance. The case is ordered back for re.
hearing.
The lower court found against the
plaintiff who sought to compel the coun.
ty to accept 500 in full payment Of Ger.
tain tsxes. Plaintiff was assessed upon
a valuation of from $3.50 to $6, 700 during
1896 to 1900; very wide variation. Ie
claimed the lowest valuation the true
one and rendered the levy on that valua-
ton in payment in full.
The higher court points out as to the
contention of the respondents that the
complaint shows on its face that proper
tender OF the taxes admitted to be due
was not made, and that it was vain
thing to make tender to the treasurer,
when the appellants knew thst under
the law the treasurer could not accel t
the same. that it seemed t. the court o
fault of the appellants. They made all
