PRINTERS ANNUAL BALL.

Lincoln Typographical Nnion No. 2O9 will
hold its twenty-fourth annual ball at Fraternity
hail. Thursday evening, February 49, There
are especial reasons why the printers want this.
ball to be the best they have ever given. In
the first place, they are proud of these social
events and very proud of their history as am
organization. In the second place, they are
anxious to clear neat of money to help
them in doing their share towards financing
the strike for the eight hour day.
There about 80 printers at work in Lin.
coin majority of whom arc working regu-
iar'y. During the month OF January these
printers paid over $500 into their local treas.
ury, nearly $500 Of which was forwarded to in
ternational headquarters to help dcfray the
expenses Of their brother printers who on.
strike. The union printers OF Lincoll, are pay
ing about II 1-2 per cent Of their earnings
weekly into their treasury This means
great sacrifice on the part of most of them, but
they doing it cheerfully and with good
will The burden is heavy one and they are
making complaints, but they now ask their
friends and sympathizers to turn in and help
them by making their annual ball success so
ci;.liy and financially. When the primers ard
the, wives start out to sell tickets they viii
appreciate the patronage of the trades union

New York. Sept. I--Extreme dullness marked the course of today's brief ses- sion on the Stock Exchange. The at the average. great many having availed themselves of the approaching holiday to leave town Those who re- mained hesitated to follow the London market. which reached a slightly high CT range for American securities. The halting tone of the market was doubt less due largely to concern regarding the showing of money for the weeks as shown in yesterdays preliminary es- inmates very strongly suggested com plete wiDing out of the legal reserves, but it was hoped that the large for eign loans placed here at the rates for call and loan accomm odations would prove an offset to tho drain. Some com ment was provoked by the statement collected in the monthly circular of prominent financial institution which offered suggestions for the relief of the money market and again urged the government at Washington to antici- pate the retirement of at least a part of the per cent bonds of 1907. Just as on the previous days Union Pacific was again hel ader. is so dull market could be said to have one.

This showing leaves the excess re- serves at s2.S69.000 as against s5,So0.- coo in the corresponding week last year. The list became much more ani- mated on the publication of the state ment with a general upward movement, Union Pacific advancing to f94 5-S. but closing at a fractional decline. This represents a net rise of over thirty points since August 17. the date Of the Pacific dividend announcement The final trading was fairly strong.

Chicago Grain and Produce.

Chicago Sept 1.-Comparatlvely small deliveries of wheat today on September contracts had a sfrenRthening effect on the local wheat market At the close the December option was up If. Corn showed put a slinst change. Oats were up 3-4. Provisions were a shade to i've cents
 Interest in the wheat pit today cen tered in the amount of wheat dellv- cred on September contract: Early in the day estimates supposedly conser- vative placed the amount of this wheat at 5000 000 but the actual de- Nveries fell short of this amount by ahout 2.00O. 900. The difference between fine estimates and the actual deliver les caused active buying of the Sep tenber option throughout the entire session and resulted in an advance or nearly one cent in the price or me September delivery. The strength of the current month had steadying ef- feet on the more distant deliveries which were bearishly affected bv low CT cables and generally favorable weather in the spring wheat territory.
 Shorts and elevator interests were the chief bidders for September. The market closed firm. December opened Is O 1-4 to 1-4 O 3-8 higher at 73 7-s to "A. sold between 73 5-S and "A Is and closed at 73 7-S O "A.

The oueerest race in the world is now going on in New York. Already it has occupied several months and is likely to consume as many more. The contest Is Roin gGn under the bed of the East River. The participators are the firm of English engineers that is building the Pennsyivania-Lons Island Railroad tunnel under the East River, and the fir moi American engineers constructing the tunnels to connect Long Island City with the subway in Manhattan. The two enterprises start ed from points only half mile apart along the river front and the big tubes are being rushed steadily from both sides of the river. through mud and quick sand and solid granite. When the Englishmen starte the Long Island City end of their. tunnel they were astonished to find themselves. over twenty feet below the ground surface, boring through soil composed of old boots and tin cans. The peculiar con dition Is explained by the Tfhact that their operations were carried on in the old course of Newton Creek. which, many years ago, was filled in and be- came public dumping ground. The English enGineers had two months start over the Americans, but success sion If bothersome duicksands has de- tered them. and now it looks as though the Yankees would finish first.
