MAINE and The WOOL TAX

Because their winters are long and
rigorous the people of Maine need
heavy, wooden clothing most of the
year. for cotton fabrics do not serve to
keep them warm. Therefore it is not
surprising to hear that the high duty of
80 per cent, on wooden goods is u
matter that they are now discussing
with more than ordinary interest The
truth Is the popular revolt against the
PLyne.Aldrich bill has caused them to
receive Il good deal of light on the
whole tariff question. The Lewiston
Journal, for example, has been discus
sing the subject of spring OvercOats,
md finds that one of the sort the editor
would like to wear cost $40 in the
shops and $50 more when made to
order, yet the same coat can be bought
in London for SD and made to order
for $S25: hence, the disturbed editor
remarks ''why they should cost twice
Us much in this country is not clear"
But he is mistaken, because the
i'1ason is perfectly clear. and it will SO
appear to him If he will study the
tariff law prepared by the Hon. Nelson
Dingley, his predecessor in the editorial
chair of the Lewiston journal. If he
will write to the Hon. Serene f. Payne,
or to Senator Aldrich. he will be in,
formed how necessary it is that the
sheep ritiSerS of Ohio and elsewhere
should have the benefit of prohibitorv
;lriff duties, even though the people of
Maine lie of pneumonia and consump-
tion. Unlike the editor of the Journal,
ihc editor of the LawistDn Sun, whose
IDEAS on the tariff are clear and I'M.

protection left tine number of sheen in

Famous Woman Linguist

Marteina; Kramers of Rotterdam
ranks among the first of women
linguists. She can read and speak ID
languages, and there are few men in
the world who can equal that record.
Besides, she has sufficient knowledge of
seven other languages to converse in
them, and she has planned to add new
language to her list every six months
for several years. Miss Kramers also
ranks as one of the most influential
suffragettes in Europe. She is editor
of JUS Suffragii, the official organ of
the international Woman Suffrage
Alliance, which has several branches in
this country. Miss Kramers is one of
the most optenistic of the workers.
She believes that within ten years
America and all the countries In Europe
will extend suffrage to women on
equality with men.

Some Good Out Of II,

An old bachelor soys that one good
thing will happen when women are
permitted to vote. and that will be that
voters will not be REQUIRED to state
their age. They will simply say they
are over 81 and old enough to vote,
and that will be considered sufficient

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The trading in Capital Traction stock
today was with the understanding that
the right to subscribe to the new issue
with the stock On Monday. however.
the stock will sell EEK rights The de-
mand for it today was rather stronger
than usual. After call. however there
was a bid of 1917 for 100 shares or for
any part. while during the call the bid
for % shares or for quotatiop lot
did not rise beyond 1868.
Another stock which will carry priv
ileges is that of the Security Storage
Company. provided. of course. the stock
holders at the meeting called for the
18th of November authorize the increa Sc
in the capital stock from 100000 to
S5OO.OOO. as recommended by the board
of directors.
1t Is proposed to issue the stock 70
stockholders at par and use the proceeds.
with 5000 taken from the earnings OF
the current year, to pay of the $1O5OO
borrowed to make an addition to the
warehouse of the company. 1t is further
stated that the net earnings of the COM
pany have been sufficient during the past
three years to pay the present rate OF
per cent dividend upon the new cap
1tal1Zat1oH. The stock is now quoted al
200 bid and none offered.
An advance of :: points in the bid for
the stock of the Merchants and Mechan-
les Savings Bank, as compared with the
figures of yesterday, attracted some at
tenticn, and the broker who made the
bid of 81 said jokingly that the usual
explanation of such an advance was that
the capital stock was going to be in
creased. He stated privately that no
doubt this would be done in the future.
but that it was not contemplated at this
time He added that the business done
would warrant an enlargement OF the
capital, which is now 100000.
The higher figures. however. did not
bring out any Of the stock, and the only
Offering was at 200
The only transaction in Aergenthaler
was the sale of four shares at PIG, which
represents the best level reached in the
recent advance of this stock. After the
CALL the bid for the stock went to 215,
half a point higher than the figures dur
ing the call.
LanstOn sold off somewhat. as the
range on sales of 200 shores was 1917 to
1885.
Greene Cananea kept on it's upward
course. selling yesterday at II and today
the bid was 11ss, but there was none
for sale at that price. and the lowest
offering was IFS.

wheat at the opening of trade today,
which resulted in initial advances of u
to a4a7sc from yesterdays final figures.
Offerings were light for time and the
market held strong within the opening
range.
Early demand was based chiefly on an
advance of I'D to 1ssd at Liverpool. The
December delivery opened at LOSS to !. O6
and ranged within these limits early in
the day.
Sentiment in corn was a trifle bulish
early in the day owing to general demand
brought out mainly by the bulge in wheat

vanced to 595s.
Oats were firm because Of the strength
of other grains. The December delivery
opened at 40 and sold at 397sa4O.

This is Rear Admiral II. n. Manney, re-
tired. who has been in charge of the
naval coaling station at San Diego, Cal,
for many months past. He was retired in
January, 1906. His relief Is in accord
with the policy of the present administra-
ton, prohibiting the employment of re-
tired officers active duty with full
pay. There are only few exceptions to
this rule, the most nota BILE being the case
of Rear Admiral w. S. COwles chief of
the bureau OF equipment. who retired in
August 1895
