a similar report on New York curb trans

from which Il is secured for use in this
department of The Herald:
Boston. Jan. 5.-The market is acting
badly and We feel very beaTish. Even
on the break yesterday and today there
seemed to be no public interest and al
most no new buying orders appeared. 1t
begins TO look as if the market was about
ten points too high and would have
sharp break to encourage public buying
The 4e-point break in Consolidated Gas
may uncover some weak spots and shake
the whole list. We consider the situation
uncertain and strongly advise selling IN
til we see a more genuine market. The
local stocks acted very well, but sagged
in sympathy with New York and it was
noticeable that no fresh buying came in
on the decline. Traders were the princi-
pal sellers today. but will catch stock
orders in few points more.

The Old Settlers picnic at No
Mans Land near Burlington ended
Saturday, closing one of the most en-
joyable outings in the history of the
association.
A representative of the Indepen-
dent spent few hours Thursday
evening at the beautiful grounds,
and found a large crowd enjoying
themselves to the limit. The dancing
floor was filled with a joyous crowd.
Van Wagoner's orchestra furnished
the music and practically all of the
musicians were the S1d timers. They
danced to music as it was played rs
years ago, at times no one but the
old settlers themselves participant
ing in the dance. They became young
again as the orchestra struck up
the old familiar strains, and as
Money Musk and Turkey in the
Straw we're waited on the breezes
their feet became as light as those
of school boys and girls. There
were more up-to-date selections for
the younger crowd who would moi
be satisfied with anything less than

Jos. Rowan as floor manager, filled
his position perfectly.
John Ehr, otherwise known as the
Emperor of Germany, was manager
of the dancing hall. +. ID. Kelley

Pitching horse shoes was one o.
the favorite pastimes. Elmer Fran
els and Erik Hustad were declared
the champions and given leather
medals.

about to leave for a long western
