which manufactures naturally form
large proportion of the Imports; while the
chief decline in exports occurs in the
trade with European countries. in which
fOodstuffs and mapufa cturers' materials

Wider Opens Trading Account.

At Wider's request Dick Bros. sold
these shares realizing about $4,000, with
which amount Wider opened a trading
account with the firm. Just previously
J. S. Bache & Co. had asked Wider for

fused had closed his account. The Bache
firm was at that time, it was generally
understood handling a large part of the
Patten cotton operations on the bull side
of the market. When Wider went over
to Dick Bros. he became active on the
bear side.

something like $SO0,O0O worth of stocks
for his account between July, 1909, and
the time when the alleged confession took
place.
What Wider's profits losses were is
not known. or. at least, have not been

he must have been on the right side of
the market at the end of last year, for
he was prolific of presents at that time.

OWL SERVICE IS
ASSURED FOR CITY

An owl service on the Hammond,
Whiting & East Chicago line, a thing
which a number of Hammond people
requested of the local management, is
an assured fact.
Manager Green stated today that an
owl car would be run on the local line
lightning Jan. 1. This car will leave
the corners of Holman and State
streets at 12:45 and will pick up the
passengers from all of the incoming
trains from Chicago, with one or two
exceptions.
The plan of having the southbound
car, which leaves the corner at 1911,
wait until the Monon train gets IN is
abandoned for the reason that the peo-
pie who come from East Chicago OBJ
ject to waiting until the train gets in.
So this car will leave for the south
side at 12:17 and there will be another
car which will leave at 12:45. This
will take care of all of tn traffic ex-
cept that which comes in on the latest
trains.
