TRADE TRICKS

The old saying that there are trics in all trades has
outved its truthfuness if there ever was any truth
in it. This store does not countenance tricks of
any sort to catch the unwary. The plain,
simple policy of buying good merchandise and
selling it at just profit is what has gained
for us the public confidence. What you
read in our 'ads'' you can tie to. Peo-
pie with money to spend naturally
go to the safe trading place.

Cleveland Out of 1t

Ex-President Grover Cleveland has
written a letter 10 the Brooklyn
Eagle under date OF Nov. 25th in
which he announces his determina-
tion not to accept a nomination in
1904 for President. The Eagle,
which has repeatedly urged upon
democrats the property of making
Cleveland the nominee of the party,
now says Judge Alton b. Parker of
the New York Court of Appeals is
the strongest and most available
candidate for a sane and united
democracy" Mr.. Bryan is at present
in Europe, and has not been heard
from since the declination. He may
have some ideas of his own on
sanity and union.

College Baseball for 1904.

The managers of the Maine college
baseball teams met at the Elmwood.
Wednesday. to arrange a schedule for
next season. John B. Roberts of Colby,
w. +. Finn, Jr.. Of BowdOin, John A.
McDermott of the University of Maine
and p. II. Plant of Bates being present.
1t was found that each manager had
already arranged a number of outside
dates and that these caused confusion.
Most of the time was devoted to clear
ing the way for the Maine schedule
and this was pretty thoroughly done.
The schedule was blocked out and
agreed upon but not finally accepted.
1t will be completed by correspondence
and announced later. Two games will
be played with each of the colleges by
each team. 1t is expected that the
complete schedule can be finally set
tied and announced in a short time
now.

These tasks fill in all the time and will in
reality leave none of the members of the
delegation much leisure between now and
Thanksgiving. There has been some talk
about getting an adjournment Of the ex-

supposed to know the most about. With

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

New York, Nov. 18-Prices ruled above
last nights level throughout today's ses-
sion of the Stock Exchange. but there
were numerous minor fluctuations until
the tendency of the market was clinched
by a strong and comprehensive upward
movement in the final dealings which car
ried prices to the highest level of the day,
where they closed. Net gains of from
to points are the genera results. The
market showed hesitation from time to
time, chiefly on account of the recurrent
pressure upon United States Steel pre-.
ferred. The stock was carried down to
50H soon after the opening and reacted to
that point or near it several times during
the day, each time with disturbing effect
upon the market. Circumstantial reports
of a determination already formed to cut
the price of steel rails had the principal
effect upon the stock. The report of a
cut in black steel sheets was also an in
fluence. The resistance offered by the
stock as it approached so was attributed
to buying for account of the preferred
stock conversion syndicate. The stock fl
nally sympathiZed with the strength of
the general market and rose more than a
point over last night. thus freeing the
market from it's restraining influence ana
facilitating the closing advance. Pool OPP
erations in a number of minor railroad
stocks were a continuing feature. Bonds
were dull and about steady. Total sales.
