Edwin Foote, the father, was born Feb- ruary g, 1S06, in Southwick, Mass. His early business career was in New York city, but in 1851 lie retired from busi- ness and came to New Haven, where he remained until his death, September 27, 1881.
 MT. Foote was 9 citizen above re- proach, and he had the respect and con- fidence of a large circle of friends.
 Julia A. Bancroft the wife of Edwin Foote, was born April 5, 1908, in East Granville, Mass, and she died October 3, 1881. For fifty-one years she shared the joy and happiness of life with her devoted husband, and death only sep arated them for a few short days. Like her husband she enjoyed the love and friendship of a host of New Haven peo- pie, and her character and worth is held by them in loving remembrance
 The Bancroft Foote house has been erected to perpetuate the memory of these two Christian people.
 Especial interest in the Bancroft Foote house dedication is shown in New Haven owing to Edwin Bancroft Foote's magnificent investment of over $50,00O in the interest Of New Haven boyhood c. F. Nutter. assistant direc- tor of the Edwin Bancroft Foote boys club, is a former Good Will boy and there are two New Haven boys now at the farm.

GITY'S BOARD OF FINANCE
MR. RoWE,S PLAN TO CHANGE
 DATE OF FISCAL FEAR.

Series of Public Meetings to be Held on
 Mir. Lewis Plan to Obviate CIty's Borrowing Money in Anticipation
 of Tax Yield.
 The regular weekly meeting of the board of finance was held in city hall last evening. MT. Lewis proposition to obviate the necessity of the city bor- rowing money in anticipation of taxes was talked over. Comptroller Rowe of fered a suggestion that it might be a good plan for the city to have the com mencement of its fiscal year the first of July instead of January, and thereby have it conform in time with the school and political years. The board seemed to think this good suggestion.
 The board passed the following votes in reference to Mir. Lewis plan:
 Voted: That the resolution submitted to this board by George W. Lewis at it's meeting of December 8, 1904, regarding changing the time for the payment of taxes, etc, be received and spread upon the records.
 Voted; That the board hold at least three public hearings on the resolution offered by George ". Lewis changing the time for the payment of taxes, etc, for the purpose of getting expressions on this or any other plan that may be advocated.
 The following transfers were made: From walks and curbs, removing snow account, S400, to cleaning street and parks account, S4O0
 From horseshoeing fire department account, $150: hose, s45; furniture. S125; old hydrants, s2OO. Total, s52o. To for age, $17O; fuel, $s5; sundries, s265. Total, $52O.
 A communication was received from Director Coe which stated that $500 more was needed for the removal of the snow. The board voted to authorize the director to go ahead with the work and in the meantime an investigation will be made to see If that amount is avail able from the contingent fund If it is not, special arrangement will be made to meet the expenses.

YEsTERDAT,s STOCK MARKFT

Further Downward Swing in the Price
 Level.
 New York, Dec. 22.-There was a fur ther downward swing in the price level to-day. But the trading became 30 list. less and nearly stagnant as to demon- strate the inertia of the market. The languid interest is attributed by the hopeful element amongst the traders to seasonable causes, especially the near approach of the triple holiday and the week intervening between Christmas and New Years with the usual attrac- tions to draw away attendance at the stock exchange. This element contin- ues to talk in sanguine strain of the upward price movement which is to fol low the holiday interval. But at pres ent 1t is clear that operations are in the hands of the smaller professionals, Actual news developments played lit tie part in to-day's market. The un. favorable influence Of the report of the commissioner of corporations fingered, and the subject was actively discussed in all quarters of the financial world. It had been loudly claimed by some en- thusiasts that the Reading division was

to be at the rate of four per cent. a year, and the announcement made yes terday after the closing of the market of three per cent. rate brought a good deal of selling of the stock. The ad- ditional advances in lines of iron and steel products did not hold the prices of the Uunlted States Steel stocks and the only news of conditions that could account for their heayiness was of the trouble from drouth and water supply for mills in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. The report that anthra- cite mines would close down during the holidays modified the fleet of the re- ports of very active demand for coal, Some further gold went out, but large arrivals of gold from India were re- ported from London and sharp rise in sterling at Berlin marked the cessation of the German capitals demand for gold. Money here was extremely easy, but without power to stimulate the stock market The market fell into practical stagnation in the latter part of the day and closed heavy and life less.
