Canvass of Merchants.

u. J. Kaufman said last night that he
was about to canvass the merchants so
that their views could be presented in
concrete form.
The stores here are dun, for the most
part, except when government employees
cal do their buying. Take that away and
the stores will have to 80 10 more expense
20 keep open several hours longer. so that
the city can do its shopping at night, or
shut up altogether"
Rumors that President TAFT and his
cabinet contemplate an eight-hour Gay
for all government employees have aroused
a storm OF protest from the clerks IN
every one of the nine departments of the
government. \ possible Increase in the
hours OF work was almost the sole topic

1t will be a blow to business, retail
merchants say, if the government depart

4 movement was started last night to
canvass the situation thoroughly. with a
view to bringing the facts in the case
before the Board of Trade and Chamber
of Commerce.
Active men of these organizations said
last night that the retail business OF
Washington, depending largely, as 1t does,
upon the buying done by the thirty thou
sand government employees, will be para
wed The reason advanced for these
statements are all along the same line.
The downtown stores do most of their
business between 40 and go O'Clock,
according to merchants interviewed.
Clerks leaving the departments at 4:5o

shopnIng. and still get home at an early

Shops Dependent on Clerks Trade.

When the hours were heightened to
40 o'clock retail business here felt it
not little. AS it is, however, when the
departments close at 4: 80 o'clock the en-
ployes have just enough time to do their
shopping. In that time the bulk of the
business with the 3O,0OO employees is done.
"And remember We have to depend
on the clerks for Washington's business.
Counting five to family, we have
10000 people to serve on account OF
government employees, so ii can be easily
seen that the claim that the retail trade
here lives on the government employe
is we'll founded.
I'VE have been crying Greater Wash
ington' for a long time. The government
discouraSes manufacturers from coming
here Much of the stuff that is used here
comes from out OF town
THE hope that we Will some day have
Greater Washington in a business
sense seems to be weak at times And
IL this runor that the departments Wi,
close at : o'clock turns out to be true.
then II will mean there is one more OBJ

May Have to Keep Open Nights.

The men in the stores believe that, with
an extra half hour added to the time OF
leaving, there will be practically no bSs1-
less done in the afternoon. This sltua-
ton would necessItate the added expense
of running the stores at night. and per-
haps a big falling off in business.
Many merchants say that instead OF
helping Washington to become greater
in a business way, move or the sort
which is said to be contemplated would
only make it harder to bring trade to To
CITY. One merchant said that inasmuch
as the government brings employees to
this city, it would seem that 1T Shouid
make some concessions toward making
the city prosperous enough to induce
some sort Of business.
This statement, repeated along the
business section of r street and Penn
sylvania avenue, received hearty indorse-
ment.

Meeting to Consider Situation.

\ special meeting of the retail trades
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
viii probably be called this week. Jo-
seph Strasburger. chairman of the COM
mittee, Is heartily in favor or present
ing the matter to the departments, SO
that the heads will see the side which so
closely affects Washington's business.
"If the departments do not close un-
I'll o'clock" he said last night, 1t
will mean that every store in the city
will have to remain open nights with
the added expense and discomfort TO
a big army of employees. 1t Will take
business away from us and probably
discourage new business from opening
here"
Isaac Cans. chairman OF the pub
licity committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce and member OF the retail
trades committee. said he would leave
no stone unturned to see that every
business man in Washington gets into
the organized protest which Is being
prepared against the possible length
ening of government clerks hours.

FRANK SHELLY CAPTAIN
OF INDEPENDENT ELEVEN,
This Experienced Player Will Lead
Larkie's Men Against GrceneviIle.

The Independent football team at
their meeting Wednesday night unani-
mously elected Frank Skelly as cap
tain. Sicily has had years of expert
enca, being the star tackle of the Acad-
envy teams for two years, and is well
versed in the new rules Of the game,
and Manager Iarkie feels very conf
dent of a victory over the Greeneville
team even with their stars in the line
up.
The Greeneville will be greatly
strengthened when they meet the In
dependents, having signed Jupes Me
Intire, the fieety 1-second man of
athletic fame, and several other local
college players. But when Popham,
the fast Splinter, get going, why. just
watch out. Something will be doing.
L'Heureux will play quarter and with
old reliable Fielding, the star fullback,
where will Greeneville be?
The lineup of these two rival teams
will be announced Saturday and the
sports will be treated to a fast game
this week. AS the Fort Wrights last
fall defeated the Independents that are
much faster this fall, 90 to 0, it looks
very rosy this Sunday and the Greene
vilIes' new suits are due for q, good
christening.
The Independents have received a
challenge from the fast Fort Niche
soldier team for a game next month
and will play any team in Connecti-
cut Address H. B. Larkie, Mana ger,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
STOCK MARKET SENSITIVE
Over Prospect Of Advance in Bank of
England Discount Rate.

New York, Oct. 19.-The sensitive
ness of the stock market today to the
prospect of an advance 10 the Bank
of England discount rate tomorrow
strengthened the conviction that Dor
rowing abroad had been relied on to
carry on the campaign for the rise.
Discounts in London were conditional
on the bank rate, the conviction being
general that an advance would occur,
but whether to 4 1-2 or per cent was
left conjectural in the advices by ca
BILE.
The speculative contingent which
have been following the advance in
stocks on the assumption that it was
organized and furthered by fnfluen-
tial banking sources were disturbed by
the doubt OF how far distribution of
stocks from these sources had been
going on while they themselves were
buying. Efforts to sell stocks devel-
oped that no demand existed at the
higher range to which prices had been
pushed, and concessions wero found
necessary in order to execute selling
orders. The arbitrary way in which
prices were marked up just as the
market closed yesterday followed by
this withdrawal of demand today, be-
got the suspicion that an advantage
Gus basis for selling stocks was all
that was sought by yesterdays late
manoeuvre. The final hour today saw
a like bidding up of prices, but they
gave way again.
One factor that added to the feeling
of suspicion which awoke today was
the character of some of the rumors
Of deals" which came into view yes
terday and the failure of any anthem
tic confirmation for them today.
The motive for the stimulated spec
ulation has been studied in the light of
large part supposed to have been play
ed by the same forces in the markets
of last year and the undertakings of
the early part of this year and the
belief that large accommodations yet
remained In the same hands as a resi-
due from those operations. 1t was in
ferred, therefore, that a desire to re-
duce that residue on advantageous
terms and to provide resources for
fresh undertakings which must be I'M
dertaken before long prompted the
stirring up of speculative activity at
this time.
The refusal of the supreme court of
the petition for rehearing of the
Missouri river rate cases, which was
neglected when first announced Mon
day has had further attention by rea-
son of public discussion of its scope
The principles embraced in the de-
cision in confirming the extensive
powers over rates claimed by the in
terstste commerce commission were
| deemed of great Importance and the
| matter was made the ground for some
| selling of stocks. Weakness in the
London copper market took the edge
| off the new confidence felt in the trade
position. Southern storm damage and
| forecasts of frost in the cotton belt
were cited as depressing factors.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $2,796,000. United Sta tes
tours coupon advanced 1-2 per cent. in

SMASHING HITTING
BY THE ATHLETICS.
Have Batted 1893 in Worlds Series TO
Chicago's .f86.

Baseball dopists who figured out that
the great stick work of the Athletics
would humble the pride of the Cubs in
the worlds series can be assured that
they were working along the right
lines by a comparison of what the two
teams have done in the two games al
ready played and won by, the Connie
Mack crew. The Philadelphia Ameri
cans have outbatted their National
league rivals by the team figures of
1888 to .18S.
Scarcely man of the ten who have
been in the Athletics lineup has failed
to hang up a respectable batting av
erage. while Tinker of the Cubs with a
mark of .42S is the only player of the
National league champions who has
anything to show. The Athletics have
made q hits to II for their opponents
and Collins of the Athletics leads both
teams with 4 hits in times at bat
an average of .667. Baker and Thomas
come next with 500, and Bender has
1888.
The batting averages in the world
series to date are as follows:
