NEW YORK STOCKS
IN A FINE RALLY
Average Gains of Nearly
Two Points-Shorts Given
a Bad Scare.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1I.-ClOse.--The
shorC session of the New York Stock
Exchange brought forth as fine specI-
men Of & bull market as anyone might
care TO look at. 1t was by far the best,
the most active. and the strongest mar
Ret that The Street has enjoyed for
many months.
There was but a monetary hesitation,
q sharp upturn, a slight reaction, and
then with the publication Of the bank
statement Il was all to the good. Prices
advanced rapidly. Stocks that have
scarcely moved for months were con
sidered as due for an advance, and the
result of good buying Immediately
brought them into line.
There were favorites here and there,
but favorites were the rule and not the
exception.
London at the opening was somewhat
lower on reports afrectfsg the Southern
railway, but It soon developed that the
stories were simply canards circulated
in the hope Of turning the tide from
the bull to the bear side. London soon
recognized this fact and gave the clos
ing market considerable support, and
higher prices were established.
When the bank statement came out
with a SI7, O0OO 900 increase in reserve and
handsome gain IN deposits and reduc-
ton in loans, the short interest found
the situation unbearable, and there was
nothing for them TO do but TO run TO
cover. This they did as rapidly as pos
sible, and tie advancing prices made
them pay dearly for their temerity.
All other influences were made sec
ondary TO the showing Of the hanks, and
no one appeared to care for possibilities
or past failures. It was a market 10
recoup part CT the losses OF the down
ward movement on, and the bears paid
their share OF the profits. Many traders
were in and out many times taking
profits in antiCipa ton OF a reaction be-
fore the close. but the reaction did not
materialize.

Juab stakes, w:ls held Nov. 4 ,,at tho
Brigham Young University. These
five stakes, instead Of supporting stake
acadamies of their own, have com
tuition as their official Church school.
The meeting was especially for the
purpose OF promoting a more extern
sive patronage Of the mid-winter
semester courses which are carried by
the institution for the benefit of young
people, who because of pressing farm,
work, cannot begin their studies at the
opening OF the school year. univer-#
sity extension courses in theology, to
be given in the principal towns adj
Joining Provo, were also arranged for,
the experiments in this direction last
year having been very successful.
Concerted action was also arranged
for in the matter of calling young
men to enter the missionary class. and
thus prepare for preaching the gospel.
The matter Of providing larger
attendance in the course in nursing
was also discussed. 1t was pointed
out that by taking one years work
in theoretical nursing here and then
spending two years at the Groves l..
y. s. hospital to get the practical
side, young women would receive dips
Tomas as professional nurses, and be
able to command better wages than
those now given to lady teachers. No
action was taken in relation to this
matter but all saw the need of en-
phasizing this aspect OF education.

The move for definite and concerted
action in extending the usefulness OF
the school, was recognized as being
so vital to the spiritual growth of the

lions are likely to be of more frequent
occurrence in the future, than they
have been in the past.

Awarded s2as for Cats Board Bill.


As payment for cats board bill
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Meyers was today
allowed 1929 in the Municipal Civil
Court. Ben, an Angora cat. accord
ing to testimony. is very fastidious,
and has an appetite only for cream,
tenderloin steak, and salmon. Mrs
Meyers testified that the cat was
brought to her by Martha W. Merrill
of Lebanon, N H., in April 1906. She
was to care for the cat at 81 a week.
It was not stipulated, according to
Mrs. Meyers, what Ben was to eat.
The cat sulked unless he had cream
three times a day; tenderloin twice
with a side order of salmon. On
such diet Ben worried along in life
until 1907, when his board bill for
154 weeks was s30S.
Mrs. Meyers sent urgent demands
for Ben's owner, Mrs. Merrill, who
finally came from New Hampshire
and made a part settlement of 1854.
Ben is still running up his board
bill. Mrs. Meyers testified today that
she had made repeated vain attempts
to locate Mrs. Merrill. Dis.

effect that in view of the condition OF
business and the falling off in traffic,
the lower scale of wages in effect a
year ago shall be restored.

CUT OPPOSED
BY ENGINEERS
Chief Stone of That Brotherhood
Issues Strong Statement.
PREPARED TO FIGHT
Railroad Trainmen Also Emphatically
Against Any Observation-Disclosures
are Given at Length.

Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
made the following statement at
Cleveland, Ohio, Friday, in connection
with the reported purpose Of some rail-
way companies to order general re-
duction of the wages of employees:
THE threatened reduction Of wages
of employees in train service is abso-
lutely unjustifled from any point Of
view. Their pay is based on a mile
age basis, practically piecework, and
they are only paid when there are
services to be performed. Wages Of
employees in train service fall paral-
lel with the shrinkage in business
plus increased living expenses away
from home. When their earnings are
$3.50 per month, their expense of liv-
ing away from home is about Is per
cent, while at the present reduced rate
of $40, which has to be met by hun
dreds under present conditions, that
expense will increase it to at least 20
per cent of earnings, because they are
held away from the home terminal un-
til there is a full-tonnage train to be
handled, making total automatic re-
duction already in wages from 60 to
20 per cent
"The roads are getting the same re-
turn in freight receipts for the serv-
ice rendered as they did when the busi-
ness was good, and there is no con-
sistency in asking men to accept fur
ther reductions than result from the
present business shrinkage, and the
full power of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers will be used, if nee.
essary, in an effort to prevent any
further reduction, because it would be
absolutely unjust"
William G.. Lee, assistant grand mas
ter of the Brotherhood OF Railroad
Trainmen, speaking for his organiza
ton on the same subject, dictated the
following:
"The wage workers have not had a
thing to do with this panic and loss
of business, except to suffer from the
mismanagement of some employers and
speculators. If he works he produces
just as much per hour as he ever did
His living expenses are just as high
as before.
"All classes of trainmen are paid by
the mile or trip; and reduction OF
miles run or trips made, means re-
duction of the amount paid by the EN-.
ployer
There can be no good argument
presented why trainmen should receive
lower trip or mileage rates for miles
run. Freight trains are not run unless
business requires it, Corporations
never carry an overload of labor, but
labor is usually compelled to carry an
overload of capitalization.
Our principal business now Is to
maintain the present standard of liv-
ing, which means to hold to the pres
ent standard of wages, and, unless all
signs fail, railroad employees will op-
pose to the bitter end any attempt to
reduce wages"

ROADS CAN'T SHIP TO DRY TOWNS

Of Judge j. c. Richardson OF neigh
boring circuit. that any shipment OF
liquors from outside as well as in the
state, are violations of the anti-ship-

ing intoxicants from selling territory

1t had been thought that it could
not be made to apply to interstate
shipments, but this judge says it can,
on the ground that every state may
