yesterdays STOCK MARKET.

Very little Activtty-Uncer Mood of
profess,onat Traders.
New York, Nov. 27.-There was very
little activity in stocks to-day. The end
week remnant after the holiday offered
small inducement to members to return
to the stock exchange from their
Thanksgiving outings before Monday,
and there was a small attendance and
languid trading in consequence. The
changing fluctuations Of prices showed
the uncertain mood of the professional
| traders whose business made up what
was estimated as nineteenth Of the
! total.
| The market started off with a bullish
demonstration in Southern Pacific in
continuation of the recent campaign In
that stock. The announced opening Of
the Salt Lake cutoff of the road was
made the occasion Of conjectural esti-
mates as to the increased net earnings
to result. Union Pacific came into the
movement with even greater effect ow-
ing to the showing in its annual report
OF the heavy Indebtedness to it of the
subsidiary company on account of adj
vances for betterment work. This move
ment was Interrupted by the heavy
selling Of Pennsylvania and Reading,
which was unexplained in the current
news. Earnings of the coalers from this
time on will compare with the period
last year after the strike was settled
when the earnings of these companies
ran up to unprecedented figures.
! The minor industrials were decidedly
irregular. Some of those which suffer-
ed most early in the week were In eager
demand in the loan crowd. where they
commanded a premium, while shorts
bought to cover their contracts. The
effect was especially notable on Loco
motive psd. Republic Steel pf. on the
other hand was forced down an addi-
tional 8 points on renewed doubts over
the maintenance of the preferred divi-
dend. The stock more than recovered
| it's loss at the close.
| The tone of strength developed in the
whole market late in the day was due
to the forecasts OF a favorable bank
statement tomorrow. The usual COM
pliers are agreed that the regular inter-
ior currency movement has been in IA
vor OF New York to the extent of be-
tween one and two million dollars while
the sub-treasury operations and the for
eign gold received have contributed
over s1,100.0O0. The quiet tone of the
call money market to-day indicates
that the weeks gain in cash, most of it
having come early in the week, will fig
ure in to-morrow's bank statement for
the full effect of the weekly averages.
Sterling exchange developed some
strngth this morning, but broke sharp
ly again and closed weak. Unsubstan-
tiated rumors were current of addition
al gold engagements in London.
The report OF grain exports for the
week shows an increase of upwards of
a million bushels of wheat and corn
over last week.
The bond market was dull and rather
irregular. Total sales. par value, were
81, 49,, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged
ON the last call.

GosEL ACCORDING TO PLuTus.

1.-The man who charges too much for
groceries," says John D. Rockefeller,
ir., will not succeed very long," Just
what would be too much for oil he
omitted to say "a man may fool the
people sometimes he continued, "but
he can never fool Almighty God"-and
he recommended the Golden Rule. an
amusing rule to bear in mind when
plunged in the history Of Standard Oil.
THE requirements of a successful bus
mess career are really right in line
with the requirements of a. Christian
life." Is this sacrilege, or is it jest?
Probably young Mr.. Rockefeller thinks
it sober truth. He probably believes
that Christianity has nothing to do
with life. 1t is a doctrine, comforting
and consoling. 1.-The personal comfort
that religion has been to me-" says
John D., ST., has been such that some
times 1 feel that I would like to go
upon the lecture platform and tell the
people about it, Tell them. for in
stance. how raising the price of oil,
almos: as he spoke. fits into his con-
ISOLATION. Tell them how his methods
against competitors illustrate the Gold
en- Rule. Tell them how becoming fabu-
lously rich through Illegal rebates is
in line with the requirements Of a
Christian life." Explain how natural
is the accumulation of so much gold in
a disciple of the the Teacher who COM
manded us to give the very cloak from
our backs to the needy. Talk about
ways and means Of making stocks go
up and down, and methods of influence
ing legislation. Explain the superiority
Of Standard Oil victories to those old
time buccaneers. Is Mr.. Rockefeller
an ornament to true religion, or is he
a most enormous burlesque thereof? It
would seem to us more respectful to an
inspired teacher and his religion of
gentleness and love, if the conductor Of
an enterprise, with a wake so full of
wrecks and q power so ruthlessly used
against the law, should leave Christiani-
ty altogether out of the question and
preach some acerbated version of the
gospel according to Plutus.-Collier's
Weekly.

CALIFORNIA; LAME DUCKS"

Promise of Frosty Time for Them
Next Fall.
Our congressional delegation at WASH
fngton is making haste to get into the
dispatches such Explanations" as they
can think of for not adopting the course
in relation to the cuban bill that was
adopted by the stalwart republicans in
the last congress, and for which, it hav-
ing proved effective, they received such
enthusiastic commentator from their
constituents-which they will not get
row. Tt is unnecessary to explain.
The situation is perfectly understood
here. The people were fooled in the
character Of the representatives elected
by them, and that is all there is of it.
They wanted fighters, and they got men
of "discretion." They wanted leaders,
and they got men who could not even
see that the way to win influence in
congress was to display leadership and
vigor and not to fall in as part of some
body else's mob. One curious excuse
made was that by taking the whip
peaceably now they could ''do more for
California" in some future congress
when ''the tariff is to be revised" A
bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush. It is hard to see what more they
could expect to ''do for California in
the dim future than they had the OPP
portunity to do now, and as for future
t'usefulness' in congress, they are not
likely to be there. 1t is not disgraceful
to constituencies to be fooled once. 1t
would show utter imbecility, which we
do not think exists here, If we would
send to congress to flight" for us at
some future day lot of men who, when
there was an opportunity to defend an
impregnable position, ANONYMOUSLY
turned tail and ran. We presume they
will bet the COMMITTEE assignments"
which they think they have earned, and
while thew are filing them we here must
set about repairing if we can the dam
age which they have done to the repub-
lican party in this state.
That damage has been done there is
no question. California is republican
solely because the republican party has
been supposed to stand for protection.
The Chronicle holds, and will maintain
that badly as we have been used in the
house of those who should be our
friends, it would be ruinous to sacrifice
what we have left by assisting to put
the democrats in power. We know.
what democratic congressman would do,
for we have seen them do it. They will
vote in a committee of the whole for
every paragraph i'm a tariff bill which
could benefit California industry, and
then turn about in the house and vote
dead against protection of anything.
We would prefer, if we could get no
better, even such weakened republic
cans as we have now than set of DEM

Vermont, several in Maine, three IN the
intehior of New York and also in Mas
sachusetts. Considerable damage was
done at New Orleans in consequence OF
the rapid rise of the river. The suburbs
were covered with water, and the roaas
were only passable with boats.
July was accompanied by frost and
ice. On the 9Th ice was formed OF the
thickness of a common window glass
throughout New England, New York
and some parts of Pennsylvania. Indi-
an corn was nearly destroyed; some IA
yorably situated fields escaped. This
was true of some of the hill farms of
Massachusetts,.
August was more cherries, if posi-
BILE, than the summer months already
passed. Ice was formed half an inch
thick. Indian corn was so frozen that
the great part of it was cut down and
dried for fodder. Almost every green
thing was destroyed, both in. this coun-
try and in Europe. Papers received
from England state shat it would be
remembered by the present generation
that the year 1916 was year in which
there was no summer" Very little
corn ripened in the New England and
Middle states. Farmers supplied them
selves from corn produced in 1915 for
the need of the spring Of 1877 1t sold
at from four to five dollars bushel.
September furnished about two weeks
of the mildest weather of the season.
Soon after the middle it became very
cold and frosty; ice formed a quarter
of an inch thick.
October produced more than its share
of cold weather; frost and ice common
November was cold and clustering.
Snow fell so as to make good sleighing.
December was mild and comfortable.
The above is a brief summary of the
cold summer Of 1876" as it was called,
in order to distinguish it from the cold
season. The winter was mild. Frost
and ice were common in every month
Of the year. Very little vegetation ma
tured in the eastern and middle states.
The suns rays seemed to be destitute of
heat throughout the summer: all ma
ture was clad in a sable hue and men
exhibited no little anxiety concerning
the future of this life.
The average wholesale price of flour
during that year in the Philadelphia
market was thirteen dollars a barrel.
The average price Of wheat in England
was ninety-eight shillings a quarter

ocrats. The question, however, is not
wrhat the Chronicle or any other jour-
nal may say, but what a justly incensed
people will do. When men get mad
they throw prudence to the winds. Al
ready the democratic press Of the dis
tricts whose interests have been sacri-
feed is haunting the republicans for
leaning upon a broken reed and sug-
costing that they can get even" by
helping the democrats smash things.
They quote by name the authors of the
statement that a reduction of the duties
on sugar by one-fifth will harm no
American industry and ask the repub-
licans what they think of such leaders.
And the only reply that it is possible to
make is that at any rate they are bet
ter than free-trade democrats. They
have left US something. The democrats
would leave US nothing. We do not like
it in the frying pan, but we do net pro-
pose to jump into the fire.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER
Remarkable RECORD for 1876.

Remarkable Record for 1916.
While every one is speaking of the
present season as being remarkable in
its characteristics, have gathered for
your readers some reliable facts of the
year 1916, known as ''the year without
a summer" Few persons now living
can recollect it, but it was the coolest
ever known through Europe and Amer
lea. The following is a brief abstract
of the weather during each month of
the year:
January was mild, so much so as to
render fires almost needless in parlors.
December previous was very cold.
February was not very cold; with the
exceptions of a few days it was mild,
liwke it's predecessor.
March was cold and boisterous during
the first part of it; the remainder was
mild. A great freshet on the Ohio and
Kentucky rivers caused a great loss of
property.
April began warm, but grew colder
as the month advanced, and ended
with snow and ice and a temperature
more like winter than spring.
May was more remarkable for frowns
than smiles. Buds and fruits were
frozen; ice formed half an inch thick;
corn killed and the fields again and
again replanted until deemed too late.
June was the coolest ever known in
this latitude. Frost. ice and snow were
common. Almost every green thing
killed. Fruit nearly all destroyed,
Snow fell to the depth Of ten inches in

The Brooklyn Eagle remarks
by way of warning that the re.

put on the aggressive or defen.
sive, both this year and next,
on tariff questions and they will
do we'll to choose which role
betimes. The issue will not be
postponed. 1t will not be ST.
