RAILROAD SHARES LOWER

New York, January 2.-Prices moved
over quite range today, but the market
was narrow, measured by the extent of
the numbers interested in it. Dealings
were largely professional The early de-
cline was largely influenced by the news
over the holiday of the application for
receivers for the Seaboard Air Line rail-
road, on account of its inability to meet
the fixed charges due on January l. The
cause given for the plight of the property
is especially the legislative pursuit of
railroads in some of the southern states
and the stringency of the money market
is of such general application to result
in the way that they were generally re-
sponsive to the news. Even more effect
was produced on speculative sentiment
by the reports from Washington, not
without official sanction that a suit
would be actively pushed by the gov
eminent along the lines of the Northern
Securities suit to force a dissolution of
the Hartman railroad merger.
The Hartman railroad stocks shared
with the southern group in the early de-
preston. Later the market became
stronger. The action of the money mar
ket gave satisfaction, the early high rate
of 20 per cent yielding steadily in the
later dealings. The dwindlng premium
on gold practically disappeared today, af-
fording feeling of greater relief. The
reduction in the Bank of Engand's Of
fetal discount rate from to 6 per cent
also marked the passing of abnormal con-
ditions.
Copper rose again at the New York
metal exchange, and this was a factor in
lifting the prices of stocks. Substantial
net gains were shown at the end of the
day.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value. $1.911,0 00
United States bonds unchanged on call.

DEMOCRATS OF WORCESTER.

The County convention of the
Worcester Democracy in ses-
sion in Snow Hill last Monday
endorsed the administration Of
Governor Crothers and con
graduated the people OF the
county and state upon the cleo
tion of Hon. John Walter Smith
to the /. $ Senate.
1t was perfectly proper for
the convention to endorse, as it
did, the Democratic party for
it's bringing to fruition the
movement for tirst-class roads
in this State. The last Legisla-
ture did the work and passed a
law appropriating five million
dollars to build roads in every
section Of Maryland Worcester
County will get a little over two
hundred thousand dollars Of
this appropriation, the distribu-
tion Of the money being made
according to a plan of Senator
Smith to spend it in each county
according to the mileag~ OF
roads in the county.
Governor Crothers and Sena-
tor Smith have worked in har-
mony for better roads and they
have evolved law which will
surely prove the most valuable
piece of legislation ever enact
ed for the people Of the State
