yesterday. Washington Gas certificates

Washington Gas recorded several trades

Bank shares maintained prices better
than others. and yesterday there was the
usual small trading in them.
The week past has shown marked re-
ductjon in the prices 0f the more active
shares on the exchange. due, in part. to
the unsettled condition OF the New York
market, and in part to the failure OF ex-
pected legislation In the interests OF the
local gas companies
Prices are now about back 10 the level
from which they started on the recent
rise. and the market is stlll in safe lines

New York. Feb. 27.-There was an evi-
dent inclination on the part Of the stock
market to-day TO continue its advancing
movement Of yesterday, the only depar-
ture from this being weakness and a dis
play Of exceedingly nervous price va
-iations in Reading common stock
As regarded Reading, Of course, there
vas a renewal of speculative apprehen-
sion respecting the possibility Of an sd-
verse decision n the commodities clause
ease by the Supreme Court on Monday:
but conservative opinion on this point
was. as It has been all along. that al
though a decision in the case one way
OF the other may be announced on Mon
dav. too short a time has elapsed since
the argument to cause reasonable an
deipation Of pronouncement by the
,ourts on the first day Of next week.
The court may hand down its decision
On Monday, and it may not DO so for
weeks OF months hence, the seeming
probabilities favoring a longer delay.
Considering this fact. and also that the
relation Of the Reading Company to the
,ase now before the Supreme Court seems
remote. there are not few observers
who maintain that the particular heavi-
ness Of Reading recently, the stock be-
Ing one that has shown less resiliercy
than any leading issue in its recovery
from the market demOralizatiOn on Tues
dav. Is due TO other causes than those IN
any way connected with legal proceed

Coal Trade Depressed.
It Is well known that the coal business,
both in the anthracite and bituminous in
dustries, has been particularly depressed
this winter, and 1t would surprise nobody,
although no official or semi-oficial init

has been afforded. il the Reading man

EXCISE LAWS OF CONNECTICUT
Bill Introduced in House Looking to
a Radical Change in Taking Vote
on License.

Hartford Jan MA resolution was
this morning introduced in the house
OF representatives, which. if passed,
will make a very marked change in
the excise laws of the state. 1t pro-
vides that a vote on license may be
taken only at such time as there is
an election of town officers by ballot
The bill reads as follows:
Section 26SS of the general statutes
as amended by chapter 146 of the pub
lie acts of 1907 is hereby amended by
inserting in the first sentence thereof
before the words The selectmen there
Of shall notify the following, viz, AT
which there is an election of town Of

lows, viz, Upon the petition of not
less than twenty-five legal voters of
any town. lodged with the town clerk
at least twelve days before the date
of any annual town meeting at which
there is an election Of town officers
by ballot, the selectmen thereof shall
notify the legal voters of said town
that at said annual town meeting a
ballot will be taken to determine
whethe rany person shall be licensed
to sell spirituous and intoxicating Ii
quors in said town. The ballot shall
be cast either in favor of or against
the granting Of licenses for the sale Of
spirituous and intoxicating liquors and
the vote then taken shall remain in
full force until annulled by a new vote
taken at an annual town meeting up
on petition and after due notice as
aforesaid, which vote shall become op-
erative on the first Monday of the
month next succeeding said town
meeting -
Norwich bulletin., 1909-01-15

Hartford Conn.,, Jan. 14.-A very few
minutes sufficed to do the business OF
the general assembly today, but after
those few minutes were over large
number Of members of the house stood
in the corridors gnashing their teeth
as they tried to look happy when ask
ed as to their committee appointments.
Upstairs a number Of disappointed
members met to compare notes. Many
of the members claimed that their al
legiance to Judge Malone Of Bristol for
the speakership or to Mr.. Hill for the
senatorship had not been overlooked.
Speaker Banks Found Difficult Task.
Speaker Banks found he had a diff
cult task on his hand to apportion the
committees, and was himself greatly
surprised that there were many dis
appointments.
Representative Burnes Floor Leader.
BY his selection as house chairman
of the judiciary committee, of which
Senator Searls is the senate chairman,
Representative Charles d. Burnes OF
Greenwich. who is i'll at present with
appendicitis, will be floor leader. At
last session Judge Banks, who lost the
speakership in his race with Major
Tllson, became house leader Judge
Malone both through his own contest
for the speakership and because of his
constant DdIAlElDdL1ull AL LlAG uCDdAGS
of last session, several times coming
TO the assistance of Representative
Burnes. who was house chairman Of
the committee on railroads, when re-
ports of that committee were under
fire. was expected to be the house
leader. He was placed as fourth men,
ber.
Claim of Discontented Ones.
The other members of the commit
e AIeAA -
Bridgeport, Platt Of Milford, Cronin OF
New London, Huxford of Stamford,
Burke Of Manchester and Higgins of
Winchester. 1t was claimed in the
discussion Of the committee appoint
ments by the discontented ones that
every republican member Of the COM
mittee save Judge Malone was a Bran
degee supporter. Other committees
were also held up to scrutiny.
On the Excise Committee.
On the excise committee Judge
Marsden of Madison is house chair
man, Mr. Loos Of New Haven being
ranking member. The chairmanship
had been offered to Mr.. Huxford Of
Stamford, but he did not want it, and
many protests were made against Mr..
Iloos' appointment. Mr.. Culver of Sey-
nnour, who was chairman of the COM
tnittee on claims last session, is on
the committee this time, but as second
member.
Shell Fisheries New COMMITTEES.
The shell fisheries committee, a new
one, is made up mostly Of members
from the shore towns. It is expected
10 have considerable business. Repre-
sentative Parker of Hartford heads the
committee on corporations, of which
Senator Barnum Is khe chairman. SEN
ator Biskeslee Of New Haven is in
charge OF the appropriations, and SEN
Rtor Luddington is on that Of military
affairs.
Senators Satisfied With Selections.
Usually the committee lists are pre-
pared for distribution but this time
there were only few copies, and the
members had to flock to the clerks
desks in each body and look up their
appointments. Many members left
without definite knowledge of what is
before them. The senators expressed
themelves we'll satisfied with Senator
Brooks selections.
In both branches a few matters
