EASTERN MARKETS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE mar
ket opened considerably easier,
but with heavy trading, the first
hours sales aggregating nearly
100000 shares. The postponed
meeting of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific directorate oc.
Cured today, and the regular divi.
dend was declared on both stocks.
Southern Pacific's sensational ad-
vance yesterday was largely due
to the expected increase of divi-
dend, and with the announcement
of no increase, the stock sold off
to lis, but recovered to some ex-
tent. Erie showed more strength
than almost any stock on the list
during early hours. All hard coal
stocks have now made new high
records for the year. Americans
in London irregular, mostly higher.
Copper stocks show Independent
strength. London settlement be-
gins today. Early dividend expect
ed on International Harvester
common.
May wheat touched sos by
noon. The reported short interests
probably has a great deal to. do
with the strength in this market
Cotton advices are all bullish, with
light sales characterizing the early
trading.

have been more numerous in the

The new ordinance of the con-

put an end to the contracting of

into the council, but was the cause
of no comment except on the part
of Councilman Ostrander, who
asked that 1t be referred to the
committee of the whole. The next
committee meeting is next Tuesday
night, at which time it Is expected
there will be hot fight on the
part of Thomas Maloney of the

According to Maloney, the ordi.
nance will not effect the federal
union plans at all, despite the
clever wording, providing a pen.

Men are more self-conscious than
women in public, according to the Bos.
ton Herald. A man would be much
more disconnected to find his stocking
curling over his boot when he is en-.
deavoring to be agreeable in parlor
than a woman would be If some such
trivial accident befell her. Mans mod
esty is often synonymous with self
consciousness or vanity. The Oriental
woman yelled her face and was not
disturbed If other parts of her body
were revealed. What normal man
would be brave enough to attend q din
ner party with bare shoulders and a
low-necked shirt? Modesty, in the
conventional meaning of the word, is
governed by custom, time and coun.
try.

Didn't you know?"
FEWER WOMEN At WORK.
Demand Declining in London Except
In the General Postoffice.

For lady clerks there seems to be
less demand than formerly" states
the report of the employment depart
ment of the London chamber of COM
merce dealing with the condition Of
the clerical labor market during the
closing quarter of last year.
The manager of an important Lon
don business, on being asked the other
night whether he could give any expla-
nation of the declining popularity Of
lady clerks noted by the chamber Of
commerce stated that his experience
was that many lady clerks looked for
great deal of consideration. They
expected to be paid as men and to be
treated as women. They disliked be-
ing taken to task when they did their
work indifferently and were too fond
of appealing to the chivalry Of the
mere male. l..r
Another business manager thought
that the standard of attainments re-
quired had risen of recent years and
many of the lady clerks in the market
were not up to it. He said that he
found that women did routine work
we'll but showed little or no initiative,
and when set any task which was COM
plicated or which involved much
thought they were apt to fail, with a
few brilliant exceptions.
On the other hand It is worth notice
that the general postoffice makes great
and increasing use of lady clerks for
work involving considerable RESPONSE
bility. Thus the savings bank depart
ment at West Kensington is largely
stated by women, and its heads have
repeatedly testified to their compe-
tence and efficiency in carrying out
duties which demand high degree Of
accuracy.
