Owing to high interest rates here
 considerable amounts of crop money
 were sent back before the close of 1906. fully $20.0OO.000 before Jan-
 uary. This fact and the current large
 demands for money in the interior are likely to lessen or delay future
 receipts from that source. says Bank
 CT Clews. Fortunately, the secretary
 of the treasury has extended the time for the return of treasury deposits from January 20 and February 1 to February 1 and February
 15, respectively. This action will
 afford some slight relief. An-
 other good feature is our foreign
 trade balance continues exceedingly
 satisfactory, showing a large surplus
 of exports over imports. This would
 warrant expectations of gold imports
 next spring were it not for, tue con-
 servatiye attitude of the Bank of
 England, which seems to have reso-
 lutely decided to protect and build
 up its own reserves against future contingencies. This policy will make it more difficult for us to procure gold from abroad; although in case of emergency we shall no doubt se- cure it. since Paris is disposed to as- sist London. thus enabling the latter to part with gold in event of the de- mand from New York becoming in- sistent. The safety of the money sit- uation requires lnat interest rates range at s per cent at least. This will keep money here and tend to at- tract it from elsewhere. while a low rate would send it away. A low money rate would advance sterling exchange to the gold exporting point, besides causing considerable money loaned in Wall street by out-of-town institutions to be called home. The best source of relief to the money market in the immediate future will De through government disburse- nents which are always large in the carly months of the new year. The money needs of .-e big railroads dur
 ng this year are likely to keep in- crest rates up for some time to come.

WEDNESDAY,, JAN 16, 1907.

Ten thousand dollars has been set aside from the funds of the council of agriculture for helping small in- dustries to exhibit their products at the Irish international exhibition in Dublin, which opens next May. The attitude of the council of agriculture toward the exposition has been mis- understood. Owing to the various imperative calls on the limited funds of the department" 1t did not feel justified in aiding the exhibition, but the resolution providing for the all lotment of $1O.0oO to aid exhibitors states plainly that the department
 does not wish in any way to dis courage any such undertaking as an international or national exhibition"

Nearly 1000 lives lost and more than $5oo.00o,00O worth of property destroyed-this is the havoc that marks last years path of the red plague" from San Francisco to New York. Every day of the year just ended. on the average. twenty lives and nearly s1.500. 900 were sacrificed upon the altar of the fire god. No- where else in the world is the fire loss in bulk or pro rata anywhere near our own. The average loss is now s200.00o.o00 a year. and still no effective means are taken to check it. Something like an adequate con- ception of what these losses mean is arrived at by considering what the half billion dollars thrown onto the national ash heap last year would buy. It would pay for a feet of fifty battleships. everyone equal to the It would support the United States army for the next seven years. It would pay for one-haIf of our imports and wipe out half the national debt. It would cover the cost of fifty skyscrspers.

 The true spirit of the individual in adversity is what you should judge by. Most all of us can smile when the sun shines and want is far from the front door. But under other con- dttions Is the time to make your esti- mate of friend and foe alike. Mid dletown Press.
 There was an extremely mean man in New Hampshire. who was the pro- prietor of hotel. By his direction rules were posted in the hostelry for bidding almost every conceivable privilege to those not guests of the place. There was absolutely no chance for the casual loafer to get newspapers, pens, ink. stationery, etc. There were not even free seats in the office. One day he chanced to ob- serve a chronic loafer gazing at the old clock that hung on the wall. The next day sign was placed over the clock. It read: This clock is for the use of the guests of the hotel only. Success Magazine.
 Governor Roberts was thoroughly we'll meaning within his lights. He gave the state a clean, honest ad- ministration, one that Connecticut will not have to look back to with regrets. It came in a time of great prosperity and so the people had really nothing to seriously disturb them. They accepted the satisfactory reports and endorsed Governor Rob- ert's administration with the largest plurality ever given in an of year. If the expression of the public will at the ballot means anything, Governor Roberts has right to believe that the voters of the state endorsed him by great majority. And in serving the state we'll, he worked for party interest, as the vote of confidence at- tests.-Bridgeport Post.

WANT LAW REPEALED.
Barbes Tired of the State Board of
 Examiner.

The barbers of Waterbury have come to the conclusion that the state board of examiners is a hindrance to their business and they are out with a petition which will be presented to the general assembly asking that the law be repealed. One of the petition CTS told a reporter to-day that 1t de- prived them of good class of work men who had been coming in here on and of from New York and other places. but have remained away since the enactment of the new order of things, simply because they don't want to comply with a law which was once in force in their own states and was repealed after fair trial. Under existing conditions he claimed that anybody can procure a license and boss barbers are often compelled to take on poor man who has a license and turn away a first.class barber who has none. They want the barbers to get jobs on their merit.
