corporate stock was regarded as sign
of the good appetite of capital for in
vestment. Offerings in foreign markets
indicated a similarly favorable condi-
tion. Both there and here, however,
there is seen the influence of these
new issues in displacing holdings in
some older issues. Occasional sales of
railroad and other corporation bonds
show the progress of this movement.

for which the Paris market has been
preparing for many months. must be
reckoned with in the forecasting of the
money markets. The relatively high al
titudc at which prices of securities
have ruled in the market brings home
a constant stream of sales of Ameri-
can securities from foreign markets.
The effect is to hold up the foreign ex-
change rate to near the gold export,
with the demand for remittance to pay
for these sales. The persisting unrest
in the Balkans is a shadow on financial
markets. The breaking of the drought
in the winter wheat belt of the United
States has relieved the growing ankle

IMPURE MILK
Lands Three Auburn Milk Dealers IN
Court-Other Arrests Expected.

Auburn, Me-, Nov. 29.-Charles E. Now
er, Edward E. Pearl and e. T. Cooling.
three prominent milk dealers of this city.
were arrested Saturday afternoon on
warrants sworn out by DR.. Inglis, milk
inspector of Auburn, charging them with
selling milk which falls below the re-
quirements Of the pure food law and
which contains adulterants. They all rec
ognized for their appearance at the mu-
nicipal court for trial Monday morning.
It is expected that other arrests will be
made.
This action is the result of an agita-
ton which has been in progress for some
days in the city, Mayor Merrill having
had the State inspectors examine SAM
pies of milk from number of dealers.
The pure food law requires standard milk
to have u per cent. of solids. The analy-
sis Of Mr. Mowers milk is said to have
shown but 9.62 per cent. of solids and the
presence of aniline orange, that of Mr..
Pearls 10.4& per cent. solids and the pres
ence of aniline orange. and that of Mr..
Cooling the presence of formaldehyde and
aniline orange. The analysis of several
other dealers is alleged to have shown
less than IL per cent OF solids, and some
of them also the presence of formalde-
hyde and aniline orange

whether he lived in Augusta or Gardi-

the same person who had asked for
the letters at the Hallowell office. The
clerk at the Augusta postoffice was ad-

Hampton Roads nearly year on the
most remarkable trip ever recorded in
naval annals. If the record establish
ed up to the present is maintained the
fleet will return home without serious
accident or mishap of any kind. It's
progress from port to port has been
watched by foreign governments with
deep interest, because of the technical
knowledge to be derived from the big
maneuvre, and because of the remark
able skill of American naval officers
and the wonderful efficiency. of the
American warships. T.. t8
The officers and men have been Law
ishly entertained at every port at
which the fleet stayed. Each govern
its welcome to the visitors, and the re-
suit has been degree of official hos
pitality seldom before recorded. In
Australian waters the Americans were
greeted by men Of their own race; IN
Japan and China they saw the splendor
of the Orient, and in the Mediterranean
southern Europe will turn out to do
them honor. With homeward bound
pennants streaming the battleships af-
ter clearing Manila bay will head for
Colombo, Ceylon, where they are due
in two weeks. They will stay there
for six days and then proceed to Suez
without stop. They are due at. the
southern entrance of the Suez canal

the northern entrance, where coal is to

squadrons to make series of calls at

and Algiers. According to the present
schedule the entire fleet will assemble
at Gibraltar during the first week of
February, and on Feb. it will leave
Gibraltar for either Hampton Roads

America has not yet been definitely

ENGLISH SENTIMENT
Is That United States and Japan Have
Done a Wise Thing.

London, Nov. a9.-The American-Japan-
ese agreement claims the maximum of at
tention ard interest here. primarily OH
International grounds, as putting an end
to q situation which might at any mo-
ment have developed between the United
States and Japan difficulties involving del-
icate considerations for the British gov-
ernment, and secondarily because of it's
being a new departure in the policy Of the
United States government with regard to
foreign entanglements.
1t is understood that the British gov-
ernment was consulted by both the
American and Japanese governments be-
fore the agreement was concluded, and
some curiosity has been excited as to
what attitude Congress will take regard
ing the President in concluding the agree
ment. The London daily newspapers eX-
press the heartiest satisfaction, which
amounts to an expression of relief at this
new assurance OF peace in the Far East
The Morning Post says: THE United
States in recent years has rendered to the
cause of peace services that cannot light
ly be estimated. The good understanding
now reached between the United States
and Japan is an event of good omen for
the worlds peace"
The Daily Mail says: '"The agreement
is another link in the chain that letters
the spectre of war. 1t marks not merely
a renewal of the traditional friendship
that was dropping under suspicion. but
the creation of firm equilibrium in that
part of the world to which gloomy and
prophetic glances have often been direct
ed. The German Emperor may perhaps
deplore the new agreement, but Ameri-
cans have the consolation of knowing
| that they sin in good company. Japan's
conventions with five great powers are
assurance against that yellow peril
which has disturbed the meditations of
monarchs and statesmen. No reasonable
man will longer doubt that Japan's am
bition lies not in war, but in the develop
ment of commercial instinct and capacity.
of which the Japanese are beginning to
give proof"
The Daily News also regards the agree
ment as tantamount to an alliance and
argues that it is ridiculous for Great Bril-
tain to continue to include the United
States in the two-power standard. against
which it is considered necessary to build
| a navy.
