New York. Dec. 30.-Holiday quiet
overshadowed the stock market. This
is the period for closing accounts.
stock taking and other operations In
cidental to the close Of the year.
Aside from activities connected with
the holiday trade, 1t is apt to be one
of the dullest periods of the year. In
the stock market proper 1t is usually
a time when every effort is made to
anticipate the effect Of January dis
bursements. This year these are es-
timated at over $220,000,000. The
question arises will the usual proper
ton of this sum come into Wall street
for permanent investment? There is
some reason to expect that 1t Will
not. The main reason Is the high
cost of living for all classes. Wheth-
er this be due to high prices, to ex.
travagance or to higher standards OF
living, matters little. People are GER
| tainly saving less, and as all new
capital must come from the nations
savings it follows that there will be
a smaller proportion applicable fol
investment purposes than usual. An
other element In the business situa
ton is that the high cost of livint
compels investors to seek and insis
upon the largest returns possible OF
investments. The same tendenc,
towards better returns arises iron
another direction-namely, that re
J duction in the supply Of hew capita
will oblige those who want it to pa
, higher rates. In short, as result Q
existing conditions, capital is goin

BIG SHIFT IN JUDGsHIPs.

Washington, Dec 50.-In every
state of the Union there will pass out
of existence today one or more Uni
ted States circuit courts. The judges
will hereafter sit on the circuit court
of appeals and the circuit court as
tribunal of original jurisdiction will
be no more. There are ssventy-sev-
en- federal circuit courtS scattered
throughout the United States, which
in the past have held sessions in PIG
cities.
Elimination of the federal circuit
court is one of the reforms provided
for in the new judiciary code enact
ed by Congress on March l of this
year to become effective on Monday.
Under the provisions of the code,
there shall be after today only the
district courts, the nine circuit courts
of appeal, and the Supreme court.
There are now twenty-nine circuit
court judges, and none of these will
lose their jobs, as they will continue
to sit in the circuit courts of appeal
and will help out the district courts
whenever necessary.
Under the new code the incomes OF
district court clerks will be restricted
to a salary of $3.50 a year. Former
ly some district court clerks, by spe
cial legislation, shared in the fees
and some received as high as $4,000
or $4,000 a year.
After today the chief justice of the
United States Supreme Court will re
ceive $4,000 per year and the asso
ciate justices s14,500 each.
Another section of the new judici
airy code provides that jurors for fed
eral courts will be summoned by reg
istered main instead of by persona
visits of deputy United States maj
shals. The government will hereafte
have six peremptory challenges in 81
lecting federal court juries instead G
three. Another reform prohibit
members of Congress from practicin
before the court of claims in Wasl
ington.
