GENERAL TRADE
 BECOMES QU|ETER Financial Troubles Have Effect
 Upon Business OUTLOOK CONTINUES GOOD  Better Situation In New York Gives Confidence and Declines In Cereals and Cotton Help To Loosen
 Up the Consumers.
OUTLOOK CONTINUES GOOD

New York. October 25.-Bradstreets will say: Trade and industry have tended toward quiet in sympathy with reports Of financial unsettement at New York and a few other cities; the continuance of mild weather, affecting as it does retail distribution, the natural seasonable slow ing of jobbing trade and the influence upon retail trade and collections of the continuance of the holding movement of crops. On the other hand the financial situation at New York, generally speak ing, seems to be well in hand. The New York banks, under courageous and eXperi- enced leadership are meeting demands as they arise with discretion. Recent de- clines in prices of cereals and cotton have encouraged foreign demand for the coun- try's products; the holding of the cotton. a great exchange making medium, is show ing some signs of relaxing and lowered prices of domestic commodities lead to the hope that the demand of a prosperous country, affected by the unduly high level of some commodities, will revive. Eastern shoe manufacturers report good orders for late fall and next spring and the failure of the St. Louis strike has enlarged the distribution by manufae- turers at that city.
 Jobbing trade in dry goods has been of good volume for this season and ship ments are large, the disposition being 10 get goods into distributors hands before orders are countermanded.
 Southwestern jobbers report good filling in orders from the country. Southern col lections have rather improved, as has trade which feels the influence of fraer marketing of cotton In some sections and the feeling that southern banks will not encourage luther holding of this product for higher prices.
 Iron and steel are dull. New business Is not offering freely, and new low levels have been struck by copper without bring ing much business. Large exports of this commodity, 1t Is claimed, reflect de- sire to change the scene of carrying it from this country to abroad.

DIES IN CITY HOSPITAL
Edward Burke, Once Great Fielder on

Patient

UTICA, n. V. Dec. 4.-Edward Burke,
formerly famous left fielder on the New
York and Cincinnati National league
teams. died in the city hospital here Mo-
vember &c, charity patient. lie was 43
years old.
Burke in the nineties was one of the
most conspicuous figures in baseball. He
achieved the distinction of having the left
field bleachers on the Polo grounds named
after him. To this day that section of
the seats is called Burkeville.
He earned this honor because of the
excellent manner in which he covered a
sun field. by many players termed the
most difficult in the major leagues. When
Burke left New York to play with Gin
cinnati the Reds left field bleachers
promptly took the name of Burkeville.
Burke was mite of a player. who was
so full of aggressiveness and life that he
won an immense following.
"Eddie Eddie! Eddier' was a rallying
cry of Burke's friends during his life in
New York and Cincinnati that no other
player in the country ever enjoyed
He had to quit baseball because of dis
sipation. Once when he left the ranks of
the big league his fall was quick He led
a precarious existence, doing anything he
could. For the last year or so the former
petted baseball star was working as COOK

tral railroad.

CITIZENS INDIGNANT

Hollywood Residents Complain of Acts

spet al to The Herald.
HOLLYWOOD. Dec 4.--Considerable in
dignation is felt among the residents of
Hollywood because of the lack OF electric
light service between midnight and 6
o'clock in the morning. For some time
there has been no light here between
those hours.
At present the city is terrorized by the
number of crooks, burglars and porch
climbers who have been infesting the city.
and with the town in darkness the resi-
dents feel they are greatly handicapped
in their war against this class of unde-
sirable citizens.
Scarcely a night passe but someone here
experiences a visit from one of these
providers and frequently residents are
awakened by the report of revolver as
citizen shoots at some housebreaker
who has attempted to force an entrance.
According to the officials of the Pacific
Light and Power company. repairs are be-
ing made which make it necessary to cut
off the feed wires connecting with Holly
wood, but the fact that the lights are cut
Oft when they are so much desired Is
causing no end of Indignation.
Were the lights turned on many of the
residents here would keep those in their
homes burning all night, In order TO
frighten thieves away.
Colegrove is in the same predicament
as Hollywood, and the citizens of that
place are also greatly aroused.

Glass Games to

Probably the fastest basketball game
yet of the interclass series was played on
the U. S. G. courts yesterday afternoon,
when the freshmen beat the fourth
academy class by the close score Of 16 to
X. The result of the contest was IL.
doubt until the whistle was blown at the
end of the second half, first one and then
the other side throwing a goal
Shute was the star man on the academy
team. making two field throws and four
rom the foul line. Fogle was the bright
and shining light of the freshie aggrega-
ton, making half of the points for ,the
winners Colonius, the long and husky
center, played whirlwind game, picking
the ball out OF the air and passing 1t over
the heads Of his opponents. Henderson,
ct guard, was in no small degree respon
sible for the victory of the freshmen, CIV
ing Shute few good chances at the goal.
The games played UP to the present
time have proved Of such a high order
that the manager has decided not to pick
:, single team to represent the university,
but to keep several teams in the field,
playing under the names of their various
classes. This will enable a great many
more students to participate, and there
will be games almost every evening after
the holidays with the high schools or any
other teams wishing games.

PLANS WAY TO SAVE
MONEY FOR CITY
MAYOR EARLEY ADVOCATES NEW
POLICY
To ASK City Council to Drop Insur-
snce on Public Buildings, as
Pasadena Is Rich Enough
to Build New Ones
Pasadena Agency.
"a East Colorado Street.
Home Phone 26s5.

PASADENA, Dec. 4-Mayor Farley $
lessons in economies have reached a
stage wherein he advocates a policy to
do away with paying insurance pre-
miums, the municipality to assume the
risk. y
The city is carrying insurance OH four
fire engine houses. the city hall and
public library While the city auditor
has not completed compilation of what
the city has in the past expended for
insurance it is thought the amount will
not reach $1,000 per year.
How the city is going to gain by cut
ting off insurance but few are able to
understand. The mayor points out that
the city hall is protected because of the
close proximity of the police station and
that the firemen can keep the engine
house from burning.
The mayor says the city is rich enough
to assume all risk. In other words, II
one of the city buildings would be de-
stroyed without insurance the people are
rich enough to vote more bonds to build
it up again. A citizen suggests this plan
would please the bond buyers who get
rich from the interest taxpayers con-
tribute.
Councilman Crandall does not think
well of the plan and Fire Commissioner
MediIl is opposed to it. In discussing
the matter MIR. Medill said:
the fisk on Ine engine houses - iiot
when the firemen are there, but when
they are called out TO a fire. There is
always grave danger of spark from the
engine setting fire to the hay as it is
getting ready to leave the house. Fire
men don't wait to see If such a thing
is going to happen, and II it should there
would be no one at the house to put it
out
Up to now Mayor Farley was a strong
advocate of carrying insurance. When
the Dakota street engine house was
completed Commissioner Crowell called
attention that there was no insurance
on the building. The mayor seconded
the thought that 1t should be insured.
He was given power to look after the
insurance and he took out a policy on
the building for the city.
No insurance has been taken out on
the city lighting plant, the building being
of steel frames. concrete and sheet iron.
This is regarded as sufficient protection.
Mayor Farley says he will make a
thorough investigation of his plan to
ascertain just how much the city will
save and he will then ask the council
to take action
