CUTS OFF BUCKET SHOPS
western Union Witldraws Service
From Ten Cities.

New York, July S.-Without expIana-
ton and without warning the Western
Union Telegraph company has discon-
tinued its service to brokers in ten
cities OF this state and Pennsylvania.
The cities affected are:
Plttsburg and Johnstown, Pa; SYRIA
ouse, ithaca, Rome, Utica, Gloversdale,
Auburn, WATERFOWL and Cortland of
this state.
Company officials took the stand that
under advice of counsel they could not
discuss the companys policy. Oficers
or the New York Stock Exchange de-
| NED that the cut in service was in any
way 1nstigated by them or that they
Rad any knowledge of it. Officers of
the consolidated Stock Exchange, the
little board could not be found
There were many sabterranean rumors
that the company was acting on the
ADVICE OF some one in Washington sup
posed to be close to the attitude of
the attorney generals office, but these
could not be confirmed
Hitherto the Western Union has al
ways taken the stand that as a COM
mon carrier, it had no right to refuse
any business offered it, providing such
business was conducted in decent Ian
guage. In fact the company argued
earnestly that any attempt by it to in
vestigate the private affairs of it's Gus
toners would be inquisitorial and in
On Its Own Initiative.
Washington, July SIT was on it's
own initiative, not on orders from the
department of justice here, that the
Western Union has discontinued it's
service to a number of stock brokers
offices in New York state and else
where. This was the declaration made
by an officer of the department of JUS
tice who played a prominent part in
the recent raids made by the depart
ment. He said the department would
have no right to order the telegraph
TO discontinue its service less it could
prove that it had broken some federal
statute and this had not been done.
Injunction Granted.
Baltimore, July S.-A preliminary in
junction has been granted in the cir
cult court restraining the Western I'm
ion Telegraph company from discon-
tInuing service to the E. HEREFORD COM
ljany, stock brokers.
The bill of complaint stated the tele-
graph company agrees to furnish the
Hereford company its service by the
year. Receipts filed with the bill show
that the Hereford company paid $7,526
for the service this month.
To Avoid Trouble.
New York, July 8.-President Clowery
of the Western Union, when seen at his
home in Tarrytown, answered questions
by indirection only.
What Induced your directors to take
this action?' he was asked.
Have you been following the stir the
grand jury has been making down in
Washington he replied in counter
query. IF you have, you will know
about ell we know
President Clowrey's reply is to be in
terpreted in the light of the fact that
The Western Union was recently indict-
ed by the federal grand jury in Wash
irgton for furnishing alleged bucket
shop with quotations on stocks.

SELLING PUSHED
In Stock Market for
Many Different Causes
Liquidation Not Always Because
Of Untav0rabIe News.
FavorabIes Advices Are Coming
From Most Branches Of Industry.

New York, Jan. 16.-The pressure to
liquidate speculative holdings Of stocks.
which carried prices downward in last
weeks stock market was not always
accounted for by unfavorable news.
The selling was pushed on good news
as well, indicating the conviction OF
holders, that the level of prices had al
ready anticipated the advantages de-
rived from those happenings. There
We're other events which inspired dis
trust and increased the selling pres
sure on the market. A general motive
assigned for the liquidations was the
disappointment that a general public
demand for stocks had not developed
with the distribution of profits to sup
ply funds available for Investment. 1t
was believed that holders of stocks
through considerable period, who had
been awaiting the expected January
demand to sell to advantage, were
pressed by the stringency in the money
market to reduce their commitments.
The money stringency abated ma
terially in New York and there was a
world wide relaxation of money rates
and a substantial recuperation in the
Noiibisi'iif- VI tiN e>ASett iikl al iCsSlNS
banks abroad The pressure to sell
stocks diminished as this relaxation
progressed and there was no aggressive
demand awakened. The necessity of
preparing for other demands for money
in prospect was the supposed cause of
this abstention from re-entering the
securities market on the part of large
speculative operators.
In New York large payments must
be made shortly of subscriptions to
new capital issues. Belated prepara-
tons by syndicates for making these
payments played an important part in
the squeeze in the money market with
which the year opened. 1t is evident,
also, that large sums are being en-
barked in enterprises which have no
representation in the listed securities
OF the stock market but for which large
issues of bonds and stocks in the ag-
gregate are made. Light and traction
and telephone merger and great irri-
cation projects are amongst the enter
prises of this character
Favorable advices come from most
branches of industry. The substantial
reduction in surplus stocks of refined
preston in that trade
Much of the stock liquidation of the
early part of the week was believed
to be due to adjustments of accounts
necessitated by the disciplinary meas
ures administered to those connected
with the market furry in Rock Island
and the moral effects of that episode
The deeper causes underlying the re-
action were nevertheless generally rec
ognized. The question of the relation
between the national government and
the corporations was kept in a promi-
nent place by the Introduction of bills
in Congress embodying Pres ident
Taft's recommendations and by con-
ferences between Union Pacific and
government officials to consider the
settlement of the suits to dissolve the
Hartman merger.

Eveninu Service.

The hall was filled Sunday night, full
ly 1900 people being present.
Rev. 3. p. Hope. pastor of the Win
throp Street Baptist church, read the
Scripture and offered prayer. DR.. Gray
preached from the text, Behold the
whole city came out to Him
and hesought Him to depart out of
their coasts"
There is nothing very remarkable
about the text. 1t simply states that
Jesus was asked not to stay in a GER
tain place and He did not stay there.
He never remains where He is not
wanted; He will stay in no heart that
does not want Him; no one can compel
a person to accept Christ.
"The whole city came out to see Je-
sus after His miracle and asked Him to
go away. There are people in this audi
ence who have said to Him the same
thing. go away These people ancient
ly asked Him to go away because they
had lost a few swine and were fearful
of losing more. Everything in your
life that is sinful is represented by the
swine. You can't have Christ in your
life and the swine at the same time.
You can't have salvation and a pig
pen IN your heart at the same time.
You are to choose tonight between sin
and righteousness, between swine and
salvation
At the close of the sermon Dr. Gray
in a very clear, candid appeal, invited
all who would accept Christ to mani
fest. Scores responded to this invitation
Yesterday. In the afternoon meeting
many men came forward for prayer
ard in the evening service there was
general response to the invitation Of
