Condition of Money Market and
Cancellation of Mill Orders
Cause of Fall.

The woolgrower is not receiving the
price for his fleece this year that he
expected, according to one of The East

from l6 TO is cents. This price reigps
In southern Utah, along the line of the
Salt Lake Route, and in this district
shearing is practically over.
In Union Pacific territory in Wyo-
ming about 100000 pounds has been
sold at prices ranging from 1S to 90
cents. The price last year for the same
class of wool was from 90 to "a cents
asked this year, but The buyer would
not meet the demand. The Wyoming
clip is of a higher grade and IN better
condition than that OF southern Utah,
and this accounts for the higher price,
The Idaho market has not opened
yet, but it is predicted that all over
the State there will be n fall from last
years price of . cents. Wool is of
variable quality in Idaho. In the south
may be worth from 90 to "a cents per
pound, while in another part Is or IS
cents would be a good price. In Idaho
no contracts are being made; the buyers
are waiting until they see the wool,
The Eastern purchaser already quoted
attributed the fall in price to various
causes. The money market has much
TO do with it. he said, Time money ls
2 per cent higher than it was last year
and this fact prevents any gamble or
speculation in the fleece There has
been a large cancellation of mill orders,
this being due To the uncertain husi-

Perhaps it is the presidents fault and perhaps it is not. It sounds re- markedly like one of his wicked schemes. But the general staff is getting the credit of it. Army off cers who have not seen the top ele- vation of .lo!se except from club window for years are going to be put through their paces riding as pre- liminary for promotion. This is lit tie short of awful, says a Washing ton writer. There are lot of off, cers in Washington particularly who are healthy enough in general sort of way, and would not be retired for physical disability from an arm chair for the next decade, who may show up in very different shape after thir- ty miles on horseback. It may be only a coincidence, but there is a decided hump" in the line of pro- motion and if the officers under them have to wait for their step till the present sedentarily healthy officers are retired by law, then the younger men in the service will be wearing lieutenants' shoulder straps and bald heads at the same time. Therefore the riding qualification for promo tion. The rumor about this test of physical efficiency had been afoat for some months, but the blow fell last week, and there are sixty officers from the rank of colonel down who will be put on the quarterback of a horse early this month and sent out for a long road ride. Then they will be examined and the chances are that lot of them will be retired. Being retired for physical disability is no disgrace, but it means reduced pay. However. it will mean promo ton for a lot of younger officers, and they will try to put up with this with becoming fortitude. It is a little hard on some of the arm chair off, cers who can see their finish without the aid of field glass, and they are naturally blaming it on the presi- dent. who. they hold. has a mania for physical exercise. He has come to the point where in spite of tennis. he rides at 195. But he can still take a five barred gate and appar- ently. he does not see why an army officer should not.

FAILURE OF VOTING MACHINES

The plain statement that one fifth of the citizens of Hartford who took the pains to vote yesterday were disfranchised because of the failure of the voting machines to register their will. should cause serious con sideration. Of course the failure was not in the voting machines. but on the part of the voters. But 1t is to be said. too. that the voting was the most elementary of any that is possible-the simple registering of a Yes or a No" If one-afth of the voters fail on a test of such sim pIicity. how many must be unable to express their opinion at a regular election. where different candidates are to be voted for and where it is fmperative-if an election Is to have any vzIue-shat voters be able to discriminate between candidates as veil as between parties.

The army board of ordnance and Notifications is conducting some elaborate experiments to ascertain
 the best form of projectile for the use of the coast defense artillery.

The increasing cost of doing busi- ness is becoming a vital matter in net earnings and profits, for the lat ter are gradually, but surely, dimin- ishing. says Banker Clews. Such a situation almost invariably marks the turn of the tide. No better indica- tion of what increased costs mean is to be found than ill the monthly statements of railroad earnings. In July the roads which furnished re- turns showed an increase in gross earnings of $1S,5OO,O0O Of this sum over S16,0O0,OOO was absorbed by in creased expenditures, leaving an in crease in net of only $2,40O,OO0. Figures for seven months of the year show a gain of nearly Sill, 100000, of which $93,OOO0OO was consumed by increased expenses, leaving less than $1S,000,0OO increase in net. The bulk of these increased expenses went
 
 to labor in one form or another, al though the higher cost of fuel and other materials contributed an inn portant share. These increases in costs of labor and material are go- ing to bear with particular weight upon industrial concerns. for the req son that the latter will have to face more or less curtailment in orders, while the railroads are showing little or no important loss in the volume of traffic There is one good feature, and that is the corn crop is a good one and is now practically safe from frost.

Referring to Mayor Thoms' vi

Referring to Mayor Thoms' vic tory last Monday the Hartford Times speaks as follows: Tn Waterbury, which has been a veritable storm cen ter for weeks, Mayor Thoms, demo- crat, was reelected, and all the rest of the ticket except the city clerk, following in this the course of New Haven. The democratic party is in full control of the city for the first time. The features of this campaign have been already explained in these columns. The questions presented ap- pealed to good citizens to an unusual degree and were complicated by the fact that while both candidates were good and competent men there was some legitimate ground for objection to each, in the one case a reputation for political proficiency that some con- sidered a drawback, and in the other relauOn 10 the great trolley cor poration which others considered dan gerous in the circumstances. With a great deal of sober and intelligent discussion during this campaign there was also good deal of violent talk and some reckless and apparently un- founded accusations. Some of the difficulties Mayor Thoms experienced during the term just closing will dis appear now that he is to have party support instead of party opposition in the rest of the city government. He is an able man who has made large plans for the city. which have been partly checked by the council, but the utility of which seems to be admitted by competent observers"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-10-09

Miss Gertrude Beeks, representing the civic federation, has just re- turned from q month on the lsthmus looking into the conditions there, and her report makes interesting reading. She found that conditions as a whole were fairly good, but that they could be improved at many points. There are two classes of peo- pie on the Isthmus, the "employes, made up of the American clerks and administrative staff, and the labor ers," who are doing the actual man. ual work Miss Beeks says that the condition of the laborers needs the more attention, as they have not the initiative or ambition to help provide for themselves. Most of them are Jamaica negroes or low class Flu ropeans They take the accommoda- tions provided for them, which no matter how bad they may be, are a good deal better than the men have been used to at home, so they are quite satisfactory. That the general condition is not altogether bad is shown by the small death and sick report, but Miss Beeks says that the government will have to exercise very strict supervision to make the laborers live like human beings. The employees are all right and can and will look after themselves, but if the healthy condition of the laborers is to be maintained and the work is to go on well, ,hen' the greatest care will have to be exercised in keeping the laboring classes up to the mark. This is a point that is well taken and it is the better worth consideration since it comes from a capable and presumably unprejudiced outsider, and is not an official report in any sense of the term.
