would seem clumsy for horse car

lonial days down to revolutionary
times varied much. From ten shill-
ings bushel in 1882 to two shillings
In 1872. to twenty in 1747, to two in
1851. and one hundred shillings at
the opening OF the Revolution. In
these prices of corn, as in the prices
of all other articles at this time, the
difference was in the money, which
had constantly changing value, not
In the article itself or its usefulness.

Presi- dent Tracy gives as his reason that this afternoon during the second game between Hartford and New Britain at the latter city. Connery ran out into the field in citizens clothing. in vio- laticn of the league, rules. to dispute a decision with the umpire. and, further, that Connery used abusive language to the umpire and by his action tended to incite riot.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
VERY LIMITED TRADING. Wall Street Does Not Take Kindly To Taft's Tariff Programme.

New York, Aug. 24-With trading in very limited volume teday's stock market was at times subjected to con- siderable pressure and the outcome left prices of some of the more active issues from one to twc points lower. Much of the pressure seemed to em- anate from the shortA interest, which sold heavily at the outcome and forced stocks to a level where fur ther liquidation was imminent.
 Events dealing with the securities market covered a wide range and em- braced further proof of dullness in in dustrial lines as well as an extreme likelihood of a further tariff revision.
 Although it is the avowed purpose of the administration to effect a re- vision with the modicum of disturb ance to the business interests of the country, Wall Street did not take kindly to the programme and mani fested it's displeasure by selling stocks, first in London and then here.
 The most encouraging news of the day was that the strike of the work CTS employed by the American Sheet and Tin Plate compeny had come to ized by persistent rumors of further business stagnstion, particularly in the steel and iron trade, together with circumstantial evidence that one of the largest of the Independent com panies in that line had ordered fur ther cuTtaiiment of operations. An official estimate of the wheat and oats crop in western Canada fixed the com- bined yield at about 100 900 900 bush els and was followed by sharp de- cline in Canadian Pacific shares
 London sent in a lower range of quotations for our securities and early in the session esponded with further losses due to moderately heavy sales for European account. Foreign ex- change advanced here again and gave color to the belief that gold ship ments to South America will soon be announced.
 Advices from Montana and Idaho dealing with the forest fires in those states told of further loss of life and destruction of property which is sure to aggregate many millions of dollars. One of the subsidiary plants of the Amalgamated Copper company is To- cated within the danger zone and fears were expressed that this prop cry was in danger of complete obliter- ation
 4 semi official statement purporting to give the extent of the copper cur tailment plan declares that output by the leading producers here and abroad for the current month will show a. re- duction of almost 20,000,000 pounds and that this dininution is to continue indefinitely.

Geers, he won the first heat of the free for all in POS 1-2. and later when called up- on to break his own record, he took the heat and race in 2.03, despite the retardlng wind. Under the conditions 1t was a remarkable performance.
