WAVE OF prohibition
MAKING GREAT STRIDES,
More Than Half the South Dry and Rest Under
Strict Laws flight For Saloons Now Chiefly
In Big Cities Number Decreasing.

Washington. Dec. 27.-A wave Of
prohibition has swept with such re-
markable effect over the South and
sentiment has SO crystilized against the
saloon that the dawn of the new year
opens upon Il vast stretch Of territory
bereft Of liquor, while the area where
anti -prohibitionists have triumphed
marks the battle ground FOR impending
fights for and against the sale of in
toxicanta.
Significant of the magnitude this
problem has assumed, is the fact that
in many states prohibition looms up as
political issue of chief concern to the
voters. obsuring other municipal and
state questions. Other states have dis
posed of the issue temporarily at lea It
by the passage Of statutory laws, whose
efficiency must yet be tested. In still
other states the will Of the ma ajorit y
expressed at local option elections, had
restricted the sale of liquor to the
larger cities where the liquor men gen
orally are fortified against attack from
the temperance folk.
Reports rejecting accurately the
present stage OF the prohibition move
ment in the South show that more than
half the Souths territory Is "Dry'1 db-
solutely, and that in the rema INNS
area listed as Wet" the sale Of in
tnxicantS is upon Il restricted scale.
1t is evident that the cities are the
only remaining strongholds for the 81

Transactions Show F|uctuating
State Of Trading Sentiment.

ton Has Its Effect.

New York, Dec. 21.--The closing of
the Stock Exchange last week on
Thursday evening to remain closed I'M
til Monday morning made the week a
short one in financial affairs. the bank
ing business on Saturday proving
largely nominal with the Exchange not
in session. There were developments
of importance. Notwithstanding the
shortness Of the period and the sudden
shifts in speculative sentiment in re-
gard to identical circumstances indi-
Gated a rather unsettled state of opin-
ion. This tiuctuating state of senti-
ment was fairly illustrated in the
change Of views of the significance of
the Colorado & Southern purchase by
the Chicago. Burlington &, Quincy. In
the semi demoraliZed break in prices
on Monday this incident was made to
figure as one of the impelling causes
and in the later strong rebound it was
assigned equally as the ground for en-
thusastic speculative buying.
The first point of view was due 20
profeSsed apprehension that this new
departure in policy on the part of the
Hill railroad interests might fOrestall
a struggle similar to that precipitated
by the first control of the Burlington
in the Joint interest of the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific,
which had such disastrous conse-
duences to the speculative position in
| 1901 The fact of rupture of old re-
| lations having occurred between r
Hawley, the conVeyor of the control OF
! the Southwestern property and r. ii.
Hartman was made to seem to corro-
| borate this view.
Other circumstances conducted to the
| break in prices on Monday, the forma-
ton of influential opposition to the

bringing into hostility other important
groups of financial powers.

Washington, Dec 27.-To familiariZc
present form of government of tho
Panama canal zone and to consider
what changes. if any, are desirable, IL
members of the House complittee on
foreign and interstate commerce. will
leave Charleston, $. c., tomorrow for
Colon.
1t is not thought that any measure
having for it's object a change in the
form Of civil government for the zone
will receive the consideration of Con-
gress; at the present session. but as all
but two of the members of the commit.
tee, Representatives. Hepburn and
sherman. will be members of The
House in the 61st Congress, the COM
,mittee will ind the information oh
tained of value later.
The advisability of attaching the zone
to one Of the southern federal judicial
circuits to overcome the difficulties
that have been experienced regarding
the limits of jurisdiction of the civil
and the military authorities on the
zone and the government of Panama,
will be investigated by the Congress
sional party, as will all phases of the
construction of the canal. 1t is under
stod that the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion believes that any change in the
present system of government would
be detrimental to the advancement do
sired in its construction. The commit
tee incidentally now has before 1t a
bill intr3duced by Representative Mann
of Illinois, calling for certain changes
in the form of government. The meas
ure provides for the appointment by

weakness Of stocks in the early part of
the week A revised estimate of the
Colorado & Southern transactions saw
in it a prelude to other combinations
along the same lines which would bring
all the available southwestern and gulf
outlet railroad systems into combina-
ton with the different Northwestern
railroad powers This line of conJec-
ture opened up an extensive field Tor
speculative activity and was the motive
for striking marked movements in vari-
Gus groups of securities.
The assumed likelihood of these
mergers presented attractive prospects
for enhancement of values, not only by
increase of earnings in new valuations,
but bv improved credit from the con-
troll bv corporations of greater power.
| The speculation in the fixed interest
securities of these corporations was
consequently as active as in the stocks
and price movements and were as
wide 1t was this phase Of the bond
market which accounted for its great
volume during the week. s+.
