ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE sorcH.


A prominent Republican member
of the legislature is weeping because
his bill to restore the 5000 exemption
had no emergency clause, and will not
go into effect until 1905.
This is another evidence of the fol.
ly OF a threeday session of the SOW
ereign law making body that was pre-
dominated by a shouting lot Of air
tanners, bill-stealers and legislative
Holy Rollers.
The gentleman who is now crying
at the failure of his effort to undo one
Of the serious blunders Of the last reg.
ular session, was one OF the loudest
in the Republican caucus to force a
short session.
His bill takes effect March 23 1904
and the tax levy for 1906 is made
March 1st. So for two years the poor
man will be taxed for the dishes he
eats from, the bed his sick wife is
confined on and the humblest piece of
crockery in his whole household.
The big corporations and the
wealthy people Of the state will pay
on about seven million dollars less
property, and that amount will go up
on the assessment rolls against the
poorest people, and the all-wise short

Baxter & Co.'s stock Letter.

New York, Jan. 2.-The market to-
day was active although the aggre-
gate of transactions fell below the
large record of Wednesday. The natural
disposition to take profits literally at
higher figures established in the last
week was effective in imparting some
irregularfty to prices. Although in
the main. a decided strong tone was
maintained. There was some selling
in the afternoon by SPECTATORS who
were disappointed because of the main
tenance of stiff rates of money on call
and the absence of signs of immediate
relaxation of time money market. Lon
don bought considerable amount of
stocks but its bullish response was
not up to common expectation. The
feature of the early session was Mis-
souri, Pacific. which scored a gain of
15s per cent. The coalers were strong,
Chicago Greatwestern was also strong
and some specialities advanced sharp
ly. Sugar showed the effects of pro-
fit taking and sold off per cent. from
the highest. A little hardening of
money in the afternoon created a re-
dictionary tendency to the market and
it closed irregular. Total sales $685.
