Trade Is Better.

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade
says: Unseasonably mild weather ac-
centuated the customary holiday week
dullness in distribution of staple mer-
chandise, but gratifying results of
Christmas trade established a strong
tone and confidence regarding the fu-
ture is more pronounced. Outdoor
work is facilitated by the high tenn
perature and the lack of snow, making
the years total of building operations
even greater than ,Ae most sanguine
expectations. Trade in furs and heavy
clothing is unfavorably affected by
the open winter, but the ret result is
most satisfactory. 1t is gratifying to
manufacturers to find that no burden
some accumulation of stocks has oc-
Cured, despite recent record break
ing production. Statements of rail-
way earnings continue satisfactory;
figures thus far available for Deem
Der showing an average gain of So
per cent. over 1904, and foreign COM
merce at this port was remarkably
favorable, exports gaining $2,063, 1923
and imports increasing $4,161 1897, as
compared with the same week last
year.

COPPER RISE BREAKS BROKERS
Boston Firm, with 90 Branch Offices
In New England, Falls.

Boston.-The recent rise in copper
stocks on the Boston stock exchange
was an important cause to the sus-
pension of the stock brokerage firm
of H. R. Leighton & Co., which as
signed for the benefit of it's creditorsS
Although the firm is not a MEMBER
of any stock exchange, the assignment
was adjudged of considerable import
ance from the fact that the firm has
some 40 branch offices all but three of
them in New England cities and
towns. The outside Offices are at
Montreal, Halifax, N. s., and st. John,
N. F. The assignee is Charles E. AL
len, a lawyer of this city. The firm
stated that the suspension was due to
the failure of member of the Boston
stock exchange to meet his obligations
to the company, and to outstanding in
vestments-in coppers to a greater or
less extent-upon which necessary
money could not be realized.

Government Ownership Of Railroads.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the editorial of your issue of the 10Th
in which you attack the doctrine Of the
government ownership of railroads, you
quote Senator Daniel and a provision Of
the Virginia constitution to show that In
that state, at least, 1t would require an
amendment of the fundamental law before
the commonwealth could embark upon the
experiment. With a very great respect for
the high legal attachments Of Senator
Daniel, and your own intellectual clearness
Of vision, I must nevertheless, protest that
II the only constitutional objection in the
Old Dominion to government railro DAD own
ership is the provision thus quoted. the ad-
vocates Of the doctrine have nothing to fear
from 1t, for the provision in question does
not touch the power of the state to assume
as a governmental function the ownership
and operation Of the carrying lines within
Its borders. The provision simply extends
by most Of the courts of the country, that
the state cannot lay a tax or pledge its
credit for a private purpose, or in aid of a
private undertaking, so as to prohibit the
state and the counties, cities and towns
therein from subscribing to or becoming
interested In the stock or obligations Of
any company, association or corporation for
the purpose OF aiding in the construction Of
Its work" Undoubtedly this provision was
intended to prevent municipal and state sub
scriptions to the stock or bonds Of railroad
bridge and other quasi-public corporations.
hitherto permitted, largely on the ground
of the public character and benefit Of the
business conducted by such corporations.
But one looks in vain In the provision for
any language that prohibits the state itself
from undertaking, on broad grounds of pub
lie policy, railroad ownership and opera
ton.
In conclusion, will you not particularize
the grounds advanced by those authorities
on the law who hold that an amendment
to the Federal Constitution would be re-
