SHOWS A SPIRIT
OF CONSERVATISM
Most Disturbing of Week s
Events Affecting Trade Is
Spread of Boycott Idea.

New York, Jan. 2s.- Bradstrcet's state
of Trade tomorrow will say: There are
some evidences that spirit Of conserva-
tism is being engendcrcd by the breaks in
securities and cotton, the talk of govern
ment prosecutions OF alleged unlawful
combinations and the widespread revolt
against high food prices. Evidences Of
this are found In the hesitation reported
in some branches of the iron trade. and
reflection of the last mentioned develop
ment is had in very general reduction
Of prices of livestock, meats, eggs, but
ter and kindred products.
This latter development. indeed, may
because of Its novelty and the quick
spread of tho agitation. easily rank first
In the events % tho week. In nearly
every large Industrial center associations
have been formed to voluntarily abstain
from the use OF meat and dairy products.
Retail prices have been first to reflect
the sudden withdrawal OF buying demand,
but it IS to he noted that wholesale quo
/ tatlone have also suffered. livestock mar
kets are reported disorganized and ship
ments arc being cancelled.
In legislative circles. the high levels
Of all prices are the subject OF Inquiry.
There is, however, tendency to feel
that the boycott of food Is likely to be
ephomera though there is tho possibility
that the movement may be Initiated in
other lines of trade with consequent un-
settling of trade conditions.
UNEVEN TRADE DEVELOPMENT.
New Yorn, Jan. %.-R. G. Duns Week
! ~ Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
Measured BY such tests as bank clear
| ings and railroad earnings. there Is no
visible d!minuton in the volume OF In
dustrial and mercantile transactions and
yet with such happenings as the English
elections. the Paris food. the agitation
over high prices and the rather violen:
break In the New York stock market
attributed to exaggerated fears, 1t would
be strange. indeed, If the various trades
sensitive to financial and political in
huences, did not in some degree feel
the effect of these disturbances. Then
the weather conditions nave been in
places unfavorable to distribution. There
fore the situation presents an Irregular
appearance due to an uneven trade de-
velopment. This irregularity was dis.
played In some extent in the iron anC
steel trade although an event Of the
week was the declaration OF an extra
dividend by the principal producer.
The advices from the principal cite,
also show that conditions Of activit,
are not equal in all sections but in thu
main these reports are uncommonly pro
missing, business being at, or above, the
normal point.
Money conditions are improved. Banl
clearings in New York increased 4s7 pei
cent over 1899 and sc per cent. ovel
1909 and outside New York 1875 and 49,,
per cent. respectively. Commercial fall
ures this week in the United States ar,
3l6 against %5 last week, 3l2 the pre-
ceding week and 500 the corresponding
week last year.

''SlDE JCpGES. "
From the Essex County Herald3

F'rom the Essex County HeraldD
In advocating retrenchment in State eX-
penses, especially court expenses, a por-
non OF the state press suggests the abOl-
ishing of the associate judges. There is
an inclination somehow to belittle or
ridlcule the services OF those judges. The
subject is treated as though they had
nothing to do and were of no use In con-
hecuon with the court, while the greater
part OF their duties are in fact incidental
TO the court The very foundation OF tn
principles on. which jurors are draw
from the ''vicinage" is that they would Doe
more likely to know about the surround
ings ana conditions of subjects to be con
sidered in court. That Very reason ot
plies to the judges Of the court. BesllD
the nearer the courts are kept TO the pc
pie and the more easy access the peop,
have to the courts and the more close!
they are related the more confidence l.

all kinds Of fru. adapted TO tho locality,

in this same announcement that Mr..
Campbell has expressed his opinion that
better apples can he grown IN Vermont
than In the famous Food river valley
OF Oregon. As respects this last aSser-
ton Il is proper and pertinent mere 70
say that It was the railroads OF oregon
cooperating with its fruit growers that
made possible the new world VIDE re-
putation and market for its apples, un-
derstand,ng OF course. first OF all, that
oregon apples are the result of intelli-
gent cultivation and honest packing
while sometimes in Vermont one sees
apples that were not intelliEently cared
for in tho growing season nor honestly
packed when harvested. That the Bos'
