The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov. S.--Thc initial upward
impetus to stocks today came from pro-
fessonal buying to cover short contracts
and was based on the decision of the I'M
pCrial Bank of Germany to leave It's min
imum discount rate unchanged. ON Sat
day there had been reports that the rate
would be raised today and would compel
the Bank of England to take similar ac-
ton Thursday. With the satisfaction of
the demand from uncovered shorts the
stock market fell into sluggish neglect,
restrained apparently by the remaining
uncertainty over the international money
situation. The closing was easy. The
weekly return of the Imperial Bank of
Germany, while showing an Improvement
in condition, went but a short way tow
ards making up the deterioration of the
previous week in connection with the No
Vember settlements
The influence of the cotton speculation
upon the international exchanges became
perceptibe today in connection with the
violent slump in the prices of cotton. Ca
BILE rcmittanceS by foreigners to rapl n
ish margins on cotton holdings caused a
decline of several points in cables on
London while other maturitics were I'M
affected yet. The published outline of
some of the subjects to be treated in the
Presidents message to Congress recalled
attention to the approach of the assem-
bling Of that body and the regulativo
measures that may be directed against
corporations by the legislation of the SOS
| sion. a notably strong feature of the
days market was AmalSamated Copper
The influence back of this movement was
the persistence of rumOrS published abroad
and from domestic sources of the progress
towards working agreement of the vari-
Gus important interests amongst the cop
per producers lul in the sales Of pig
iron since the first Of November was an
other item of the days news which may
have aggravated the selling pressure on
United States Steel. The late rise in cal
loans to five per cent also was against
the market Foreign exchange rose
strongly in face of the strengthening OF
the money market and New York eX-
change at Chicago fell back to a. cents
discount per $1,000.
Bonds We're steady. Total sales, par
value, -. 033,0 900. United States bonds were

BOWdOin Cross
Country Team
Showing Well.

! Brunswick, Me, Nov. S.-(SpeciaD.-
The trials for the cross country team
which will run Tufts Nov. 10, the day
before the football game with Tufts AT
Brunswick. will be held next Thursday
afternoon, Nov. H. The men who are
out for the team put in some hard
work today and for the rest of the
time remaining to the trials long runs
will be the rule This afternoon the
squad ran on the track on Whittier

of Coach Morrill,, who gave each man
points as he needed them.

ltice. OF course they have the advan-
tage of four-years track training and
two years training for cross country
and have been in two cross country
races, one here in Brunswick in 1907
and one at Medford in 1908. They are
taking long runs daily from five to 10
miles and go about six on an average.
In spite OF these long runs when they
strike the track on Whittier field,
where the finish is to be with one lap,
they set Il pace that is almost hun
bred yard dash clip. They are looked
upon to be the first two men in the
race with Tufts.
The other men out are showing up
we'll and with less experience and
coaching are doing very well to keep
the pace set by Goliath and Slocum.
The other men out are Cary 10, alter
nate on last years cross country team;
Howe II, Halves 10. Martin 10, Curtis
II. Hine II. Cole II and Auten p All
are showing up well and it will be a
close race in which the three other
members of the team and the alter
nate are picked.
The course this year will start on

In spite of the driZzling rain that
fell Monday afternoon the Bowdoin
football squad was out for practice
with Coach McClave. No hard work
was done but consistent practice was
the rule. The men are all feeling fine
after the hard game of Saturday and
not d man is laid up so as not to be
able to go out for practice.
The game with Bates gave the
coaches an opportunity to gain point

shed off little and advantage will be
taken to do this during the coming
weeks work. Punting and catching
and running back punts was the pro
gram for the most part today and no
scrimmage was held.

that the huge machine will arrive in

Though the voltage, amperage, and

in both consuming 55 watts of current
to give 16 candle power of iliumina-

FOUR DELAYED TRAINS
ARRIVE THIS MORNING
Washed Out Bridge at Stockton Cause
of Last Blockade-No Further
Trouble Anticipated

Yesterday report was current on
the streete that a six-foot tidal wave
had visited San Francisco bay, doing
immense damage to the bay cities and
again delaying railroad traffic indefi-
nitely. Happily the report turns out
to have been without foundation.
No trains arrived in Winnemucca
from the west yesterday, but Nos. 8,
10, 2 and came stringing along this
morning. No. 6 was the first to put
in appearance, arriving at about 9:30,
railroad time, and was rapidly follow
ed by the rest, which came in about
Is minutes apart.
Since the first high water the track
between Davis and Sacramento has
been abandoned, and all trains have
been run between the Oakland pier
and the capital city via Stockton
Some time yesterday morning bridge
was washed out at Stockton, which
delayed traffic for about Is hours
However the damage was repaired
and no further trouble is anticipated
The Sacramento river is reported le
have fallen three feet during the past
"a hours, while a slight decline has
been observed in the American river
The damage to the Southern Pacific
bridge over the American river has
not yet been repaired, and all trains
are still being run over the bridge OF
the Northern Electric company.

LISTEN TO MESSAGE
AND APPOINT COMMITTEES
Not Enough Plums to Go Around, So q
Few More Sinecures are Created

The state legislature adjourned last
evening until Monday, having complet
ed its first week Is labors.
The principal and first business, of
course, was to effect an organization
which was done with little trouble.
When it came to distributing the pat
renge, however, it was found tha.
there were not enough plums to G.
around, so a fey additional sinecures
were created. But, then, the state il
rich, and the statesmen henchmen
must be taken care of.
Most of the bills introduced were OF
local character, and of no interest t,
the state at large. However, it is ex
pected that next week the body will
settle down to business. The gov
ernor's message was presented Tues
day, and was noted principally for its
length. In the senate the clerk had
read about half of it, when a motion
was carried dispensing with the furth
er reading. In the assembly like
motion was voted down. If all the
recommendations contained in the doc
ument are given attention by the
lawmakers, they will have plenty tt
keep them going during the limited
session.
