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

New York, Nov. 3O.-There was a mar
row and drifting market for stocks, to-
day, which resulted in only small net
changes except in special cases. Some
depression was manifest during the early
part Of the day. but the market later was
decidedly firm. Shorts in Pennsylvania
covered freely. There was some pres
sure upon Republic Steel preferred, due to
the fear that the dividend would be re-
duced or passed during the day. There
was a special accumulation of l.. and N.
and accompanying strength in Nashville,
Chattanooga 4 ST. Louis. The rise in the
money rate to per cent. was practically
ignored in the trading. The various move
ments in the money market were on a
large SCALE but SO nearly offset each
other as to have little net results. Ar
rivals of foreign gold to figure in next
Saturdays bank statement already
amount to over 81 5000 600, leaving upwards
of million engaged previous to today
but received. In addition about $500. 600
was taken in the London market for New
York. today. There is a feeling Of as
surance therefore against money strn-
gency. The market closed exceedingly
dull but steady and near the best. Little
was done in the bond market but the tone
was firm. Total sales, par value, s., 02i. 000

A local society has just been formed
to prevent the unseemly slaughter Of
big game in Maine, but would it have
not been just as we'll for the promoters
of this idea to have taken upon them
selves the enforcement of the laws to
protect robins and other birds in this
state? Maine has ample laws to pre-
vent the slaughter of deer. and she has
the game wardens to enforce them.
But in this state the robins and other
birds which have fingered far into the
season have been targets for the hunter
who shoots for the pleasure of killing.
Boston Advertiser.
Just why mature or intelligent per-
sons should kill robins or any song birds
is hard to understand. The law
against such ruthless slaughter is sell
dom violated in this State, but evident
ly in MASSACHUSETTS,, where there is
nothing to hunt that deserves the name
OF game, the 'sportsmen" kill the
feathered songsters that are such a
Messing to every community. Such a
practice is an unspeakable pitysand all
that law and public sentiment can do
should be done to end 1t.

Not long ago young man named
Schwab pushed his way from humble
employment in n steel mill to the
presidency of the steel trust, the great
est Industrial combination ever known.
His career was promptly used as Il
text for sermons upon the opportunity
before the young American possessing
the right kind of stuff. Now they are
using him as the text for sermons of
quite a different kind. Schwab did
not have the moral stamina to support
his fortunes Wealth and power
turned his head and In the craze for
greater profits he went to speculative
excuses that not only brought to an
end his brilliant career, but left him
with a smirched reputation which will
cling to him after the story Of his rise
from laborer to millionaire is forgot
ten. The perils Of sudden riches were
never better illustrated than in his
case.

The naval program of Captain Hob
son, as outlined in his Augusta lecture,
is faithfully followed out in the bill
which has been presented in Congress
ut his request. The total appropriation
of $3.50. 100000, which it provides for
between now and 1925 to make the
American navy the equal of the COM
bined navies of other powers. is a pretty
large figure, but this Is great country
and it has great part to pay in the
worlds affairs during the coming years.
Those who have heard Capt. Hobson's
lecture have ideas on this subject which
few of them ever before entertained.
and they hope that he will soon be in
Congress himself to take hand in
directing American naval policy.

More Islands in View.

Considerable attention is being given
to a recent remark of Senator Lodge
upon the floor of the Senate. expressing
a personal hope that all European flags
still lingering on this side of the
Atlantic will soon disappear for ever
from American soil. Only a few years
ago the flag of Spain f1oated over ex-
tensive possessions in the New World,
but now it has gone and nobody has
any idea that it will ever return. OF
the European flags that remain, that
of England is the only one now floating
over extensive domains. The flag of
Denmark floats over three islands in
the West Indies, which will probably
lie under American flag before many
years. The flag of Holland floats over
. little strip of Guiana. The French
flag floats over a similar possession,
and also two little groups of islands on
the southeast coast OF Newfoundland,
st. Pierre and Miquelon.
AS we said above, the flag of Dem
mark Is likely at any time, as did that
Of Spain, to go back across the seas,
and OF the three remaining foreign flags
upon American soil, it is a pretty safe
prediction that the flag of France VIII
be the first to go. One reason for that
Is the suggestive remark dropped by
Senator Lodge in reference to the
islands referred to above off the coast
of Newfoundland. Mr.. Lodge has re-
Gently returned from Paris where he
government and. under the circum-
stances his reference to those French
islands attracts much attention and
carries no little weight. The sug-
gestion is followed up by dispatch
from Newfoundland. which says that
the proposition that the United States
own them finds much favor among
the people of the French islands in
question.
The islands are important and valu-
able to US for two reasons. From the
strategic point of view, they command
the entrance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence
as Gibraltar commands the entrance to
the Mediterranean. More than this,
they would be invaluable as basis for
the important American codfshing in
dustries which are so severely crippled
by the prao teal exclusion from New
foundland, enforced against our fisher
men. The population is small and
made up wholly of fishermen and sail
ors and their families, a hardy and
most industrious class. These islands
are the last remaining vestige of the
French possessions in North America
and are of little value to France except
as a basis for it's fisheries, which are
far less important than ours. The sug-
gestion of Senator Lodge makes 1t seem
quite probable that the acquisition of
these islands so valuable to our mill
tary and commercial interests, may be
step in the expansion Of the program
Of the near future.

After THANKSGIVING,

Not with our lips alone, Oh Lord.
Our Thankfulness we brought,
We did not lack the grateful word,
As We thy blessing sought
But not the thankful word alone,
The Heavenly Father needs.
Oh we would lift unto thy throne,
The incense of thy deeds
I'VE thank thee Lord" we Oft repeat,
When some great gift is ours,
Perhaps our words to thee are sweet
AS fragrance from the flowers;
But We forgot to bring thee fruit,
Cngathered on LIES banks.
We would not let our lips be mute,
But we would live our thanks.
A word is much. deed is more,
Let cur Thanksgiving be
Words that are deeds, and deeds thai
bore
Our living thanks to thee.
Give us the fitting word to say
In gratitude and give
Us strength, till next Thanksgiving DAY,
Our gratitude to live.

received many knocks from fortune since
he skipped out of this section. He has

the large gain in the bank reserves as
shown by the statement published last
Saturday and the continued heavy re-

what larger than a week ago. and there
was a disposition on the part Of lenders
to OFFER more literally at lower figures.
The range Of rates was between ~ anC

being slightly below 4 per cent. The In
quiry for time loans was only moderate.
and for the first time In many weeks
contracts we're Obtaiuablg at less than .
per cent At the opening. practically all
the business was done on that basis, but
subsequently there was q general mark
ing down in the rate to a. per cent. Tor
all dates up 10 six months on good mixed
collateral. There were some loans of
four months money at AZ per cent and
while that rate was bid at the close
lenders generally were disposed to hold
the market at a. per cent.
It is understood that the Pennsylvania
Railroad yesterday afternoon arranged
for = loan Of $35 600. 600 at Az per cent
for six months. with the privilege Of re
