WORKING OF NEW LAW

As a result of the new law which went into effect March 4th eujoin- ing railroads from working their employees more than certain number of hours each day, there have been many changes on the different divisions of the Santa Ft railroad.
 The new law places a limit of sixteen hours work per day on traiumen and nine huur day or train dispa chrrs and telegraph operators. There is no deviation tron this law. only in cases of ex treme emergencies, like wasnouts. vrecks and accidents. The Santa Fe has issued instructions to theii employees prohibiting them from working longer hours than those named in the new ruling. A nun Der of stations and telegraph offices on the Coast lines have been closed and the operators transferred t' other places There were about ten offices closed between Alhu- luerque and Gallup, including Sanida, Bluewater, Manila ana Guam, Heretofore, at many oj the stations along the Coast lines ,nly one operator was employed and he handled al! train order ano other messages during the twenty four hours. He had certain hours off duty, but could never leave tn, office and could always be reached. at moments notice by means oi an automatic call bell. which work ed by means of combination Three operators now work at thess small stations and the call bell system has been abandoned. The new law requires that engineers iremen. brakemen and conductors have ten hours off duty out of 24 md an hour and thirty minutes notice that he is to go out on run This makes total of eleven hours and thirty minutes rest. It is saiC the time limit will work a grea, deal of inconvenience in connection with freight service between hers and Gallup. Gallup is the la, over for the freight crews and il generally takes more than sixteer hours to cover the trip. In cas' q crew is out and does not reach z layover before sixteen hours ex pires, it will be forced to suspend operations and tie up until thu necessary rest has been taken. 4 number of additional train crew. will be required on all divisions al soon as business begins to pick uL Albuquerque Journal.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, November 11.-(special. )-Ap- parently there was some disposition to realize today on the part of the buyers of the past week who found that larger crop estimates were becoming current than those upon which they had based their purchases. Outside of this selling only the arbitrage operators were in evil dence as selling and their sales were made in the first hour against cotton bought in Liverpool. As this is an in- terest against cotton it is more difficult to withstand than if it were selling in anticipation of a decline. While the feel ing is not quite so bullish as last week there is little or no disposition to look for any material decline most traders looking upon the market as a natural re- action. quite in order

 ID WHEAT MARKET.
New Records Are Again Touch
 ed During The Day
LIBERAL TRADE VOLUME
Corn Is Inclined to Be Weak, But Be- comes Firm on Buying, Based on an Improved Export Demand.
 Oats and Provisions Firm.

Chicago, November 11-Wheat prices on the local exchange today touched new high record marks for the sea- son, December selling at $1.O4 and May at $1.0S. Realizing sales caused slump from the high level, but the market closed firm. Corn was also firm and oats and provisions were steady.
 Although wheat prices scared to d new high record point for the season, sentiment in the pit was not so in- tensely bullish as that manifested dur ing the previous session, but the volume of trade was again on liberal scale. The fact that the European grain markets responded only feebly to the sharp upturn here yesterday was one of the chief reasons for heavy sell ing pressure by small holders which caused several setbacks during the day. Part of the selling, however, was brought out by additional rain in the Ohio valley. The export situation was again the chief incentive to buy wheat, although the total business for the day was much less than that of the pre- vious day.
 A report from Duluth that a consid- erable quantity of wheat had been sold there for shipment to Germany caused comment. Total export business for the day was estimated at 60 boat loads. Several reports were received regarding the condition of the wheat aIa hof the crop in the southern portion of the country was endangered by drouth. These advices helped to create addi- tional bulllsh sentiment. The market, after fiuctuating over a range of 1a Co l hc closed firm with prices unchanged to # O $ c higher. Final quotations on December were at $1.03 as a 1.03h and on May at $1.07 F e 1.O7ss.
 The corn market was inclined to be weak early in the day owing to real izing by local longs, but firm tone developed during the last half of the sessions as a result of buying based on an improved export demand. One local concern sold 160000 bushels for direct shipment abroad and total ex- port sales were estimated at 275,000 bushels. There was also a good de- mand for cash corn by eastern ship pers. Although reports claim that of ferings of corn in the country are in- creasfng, local receipts are still very small. The market closed firm with prices Ac lower to %c higher, with December at 62 B c and May at 61A O 62%c.
 Oats were firm the greater part of the day, but eased off on profit taking and closed about steady with prices unchanged to 14 O ssc lower.
 Provisions were rather weak early in the day because of continued liberal receipts of live hogs Later the mar ket became firmer on buying by stock yard interests. At the close prices were 21s @5c lower to 12hc higher.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, AZ cars; corn, 101 cars; oats, 97 cars; hogs, 35, 900 head.
 Leading futures ranged as follows.

increase in tho supplies of mercantile pa- per, reflecling the enlarged activities of merchants, jobbers and manufactu A date was fixed today for sale on No- vember g of 7,500.O0O of per cent cor porate stock of the city of New York. The governments Panama bond offering this month is expected to amount to $50- 00O000 and the effect on the money markets of the redemption of the $14,0O0,OO0 treas ury certificates falling due on November 20 and the shifting of the security for the bank notes for which. these certif- cates were deposited offers some ground for conjecture. Requirements upon the money supplies of speculation itself con- ducted at such pace as has been held last eek would make inevitable inroads on banking supplies. It was clear, how ever, that the principal incentive to the selling wave which swept the market was the very large profits which have ac- crued in speculative holdings with the rapid rise in prices.
 When the inability of the market was perceived the inducement to sell out was increased. A widespread general demand continued in evidence and helped to ab- sorb the profit taking. Foreign markets were buyers here, relieved by the clear ing of the international outlook. Vigorous supporting measures were employed at all stages of the selling, showing the continued control exerted by the organ ized forces in the speculation. The or- derly precision with which the speculation was diverted into the low priced railroad stocks as a class was evidence of this. These stocks came up strong in the final rally on covering by the days short sellers and it is in that class that the days gains are found reaching to sub- stantial proportions.
 Bond easy. Total sales par value, S4, FPS, ,O0o. ---- 4--.z4 . United States bonds were unchanged on call.

COTTON DECLINES
 ON BEAR SELLING
In The Early Trading The Mar
 ket Makes An Advance
FOREIGN MARKETS WEAKER
Hedge Selling Is In Sufficient Volume to Induce Further Offerings, and the Market Weakens, Closing
 Almost at the Bottom.

New York, November 1.-The cotton market was nervous and unsettled today with the close barely steady at a de- cline of 6 to 10 points. Sales were esti- mated at 25O,oO0 bales.
 The opening was steady at an advance of point to a decline of point, which was just about as due on the cables and during the first few minutes the active months sold 1 to points net higher on overnight buying orders and scattered covering But as soon as local bears saw that hedge selling and selling against pur- chases in Liverpool was in sufficient vol- ume to supply immediate demands offer ings increased and the market weakened, reaching the lowest point during the late trading when it was remembered that one of the leading English statisticians had estimated the crop at 1s,550, 900 bales.
 The close was at practically the low level of the day. The difference between Liverpool and New York at the opening of the latter's market this morning was the smallest for the season and a good part of the selling was supposed to reflect undoing of old straddles.
 Southern spot markets. as officially re- ported early were unchanged to 1-16c lower. Wall street bulls were much less in evidence today, but still professed con- fidence in ultimately higher prices.
 Receipts continue heavy and there has probably been some sellin on the expecta- tion that the next census report will make a bearish showing.
 Receipts at the ports today, 75,395 bales, against 6S,844 last week and 56,2O4 last year.
 For the week, 49O,0OO against 4S2. 4S3 last week and 357 ,243 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, 22651 bales against 17,S94 last year, and at Houston 25,921 bales, against 10.135 last year.

IL ACTON COMES
 IN STOCK MARKET Recession Is Violent During the
 Early Session
DEALERS MORE CAUTIOUS
Course of the Market Gives Warning That Speculation Has Become Head long and Reckless, and Cau-
 tion Must Be Exercised.

New York, November u.-Todays se- quel to yesterdays market eentered in the two Hartman Pacific stocks and opened the eyes of the more conservative element to the fact that the speculation was entering on a reckless and hazard ous stage. There came a pause to take stock of the situation and a development of greater caution in the conduct of market operations which was shown by the evident lessening of speculative hold ings and decline in the rates of activity in the market. There was a belief prev alent in the financial district that these results were caused to some extent by regulative measures amongst the large fi- nancial interests and banks which saw in the headlong course of the speculation a threat of peril and the seeds of harm to the course of improvement and expan- sion.
 A comparison of the action of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific di- reetors in oonfining themselves to the declaration of dividends at the rates which have prevailed for two years with the crilliant-hued rumors which were kept in circulation in connection with the vol atile rise in those stocks was a warming that proved sufficient as a check There are additional combinations. From 1121k, at which Southern Pacific left off Monday night, it's rise to 119B with closing price on Tuesday of HTS was ac- complished by recorded sales at the stock exchange of 2O1 800 shares. Sales re- corded today numbered 1s3900 shares on which the price fell back to 114&, closing at 116. As the total common shares of the company number only 1,97S,4sO the nianipulative character of many of these transactions may be inferred. The two days dealings in Union Pacific reach a total of 460, POO shares with a total cap- italization Of l,e54S79 shares. It was the reasoning from these facts that caused a hasty unloading of speculative holdings and invited professional attack which broke the market.
 No unfavorable news of affairs accom- panied the break. News from all quar- ters, on the contrary, continued uniformly favorable.
 There may have entered into the con- sideration the impossibility of indefinite continuance of extreme ease of money with a sustained revival in trade activity and in new acquisitions for capital to provide extensions and improvements. ghe time money market, in fact, continues to harden and there is reported notable
