Trading in to-day's market showed a
slight increased although as recently,
continued largely professional. During
the first hour prices sagged off and after
the first hour strengthened on short COW
ering which became little urgent. Final
prices were equal to a shade better than
last night. No change in the financial sit
uation likely until after the Supreme
Court hands down some Of the important
decisions that are controlling marker
dealings. The Philadelphia market acted
in sympathy with that Of New York and
dealings were very limited
c. 1. Hudson and Co., stated this morn
ing: TRADE agencies report a quetins
down of business. but no substantial re-
cession; in fact the L. s. Steel Corpora
tlon maintains that its business is stead

diets that 1910 will be the largest in th'

Pont."
As a result Of this communication
the suits yesterday were discontinued
by Mr.. Whiteman in the prothono-
tary's Office, which terminated the
cases so far as their standing in court
goes. Mr.. Whiteman notified Mr..
Salisbury and Mr.. Bayard Of his in
tention to discontinue the suits be-
fore that action was taken by him.
When Mr.. Salisbury was asked to-
day if there had been any compro-
mise or efforts at compromise on the
part of the defendant, he said: Most
certainly not. We have always been
ready to defend the suit if brought to
trial"
Mr.. Whiteman today declined to
discuss the discontinuance Of the suits
in any way. Il re gard it as pri-
vate matter which l have no right
to discuss" he said.
As a matter of fact the real basis
of the suits has never been disclosed
by the court records. the only re-
cord appearing being that of the par
/ ties to the suit entered by counsel
for Mr.. dupont. Many newspaper ar
ticles appeared, however, to the ef-
feet that the actions were to be fol
alleged slander based on statements
made about Mrs. Alfred 7 dupont, anC
attributed to the defendants. Some
time after the suit~ N"7 heen enter

the suit against Mrs. Bush would b'
discontinued. After that predictions
were frequently made that the suit
would be dropped and would no
be prosecuted. At any rate, their dis
continuance will prove disappoint

It was reported today that MI
Salisbury would bring some libe

SOME FALSE ECONOMIES.

Some Of the worst blunders that are
made by tillers Of the soil and those
engaged in animal husbandry are the
result Of practicing shortsighted ini-
tial economies-the attempt to save in
first cost followed by increased losses
later on. To this class of economies
belong the purchase Of scrub or cheap
grade sires for the dairy or beef herds.
the use Of poor seed on high priced
land when good seed costing a half
more would give three times the crop
return, the use Of wornout and dilap-
idated machinery and tools when
money would be made by the use Of
those new and up TO date, the Dlod-
ding along in the same old rut in the
dairy without Babcock tester or cream
separator when money could be made
by the use Of both, the refusal 70 buy
manure spreader or other labor saw
ing devices which would make possi-
bic a maximum utilization of the vari-
Gus farm resources and. lastly. the
use OF the old. played out fuel vast
ing stove and furnace when the new
would do vastly better work at a mini
mum consumption OF fuel
This is but partial list Of false
economies. but enough nave Deen men
toned TO suggest a profitable line OF
thought. This fault may be summa,
rized in the statement that the trouble
lies in holding the copper or nickel SC
close 10 ones eye that it ruins ones

WOMEN STILL
IN B. & 0. SERVICE

Ohicials of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad ridiculed the report from
Pittsburg that a sweeping order had
been issued prohibiting the employ
ment Of women in the various branches

IL was explained that for some years
the clerical force OF the road has been
composed almost entirely Of men, ex-
cepting in a few positions where light
clerical work is done. This was more
than six years ago and no subsequent
order has been given.
The Baltimore and Ohio. with other
large railroads. has in vogue a civil
service policy OF promoting those with
I'm the ranks to official positions when
vacancies occur. a large number Of IFS
present officers having begun i'm minor
capacities and advanced step by ster
IN the service. In making these pro-
motions the services Of competent
young men are sought.
