MARKET CONFIDENCE GENERAL
Stock Market Goes Slowly, but Opt
mistic Tone Prevails.
SPECTATORS ARE NOT ACTIVE
Failure of Trust Company without
Influence on Prices, which
Close at Beet Notch of
the Week.

NEW YORK. Jan. S-Stock market oper-
atoms tot the new years opening week
showed a tentative disposition in the specu-
lation and not much participation OUT
side of professional ranks The summing
up Of the past years record and the com
ing years prospects in numerous reviews
had the effect Of tempering hopes Tor the
future by the remembrance Of the past
disappOintments.
Confidence in the ultimate outcome OF
the opening year was fairly general over
the probable period of the reaction OF
the latter part of last year. Suggestions
that business might still be kept within
by the necessities Of the credit situation,
available capital SUPPLIES and retrench-
ments of operating and producing costs
were not calculated to incite to fresh de-
partures in speculation.
Apparently some expection had been felt
that these doubtful factors might induce
a degree OF positive depression and
short interest remaining uncovered was
the consequence. The demand to cover
market. The marks Of retrenchment and
economy so generally in force, while mark
ing halt Of enterprise and progress are
recognized as the correctives for what Is
lacking in conditions.
RecuperatiOn Evident.
The progress of recuperatlon already
shows in the money market. An expanding
volume of bond dealings a. d n rising tend
hope for better terms for new issues which
must shortly become necessary than
was thought possible last foil. Such symp-
toms Of replenishment of the supply Of
capital seeking Investment point to a
means Of paramount Importance for relief
from the deadlock which had brought en-
terprise to a state of suspense.
The further progress or cessation Of these
symptoms OF the investment demand from
fresh capital will be watched with keen
attention for the decisive effect likely to
be exercised on speculative Initiative.
Failure of the trust company here yes
terday was without influence on the stock
market, which closed at best prices Of
the week. The embarrassment of this in
stiution is believed to date back to the
panice of 1907, when It's position was ad-
mittedly precarious.

"A Tablet be Set Up at Fort Trumbull for Captain Shapley-The Quarterly Change of Police Beats is More Satisfying to the Mayor Than to the Patrol 

Although the rumor that there is to be an all-the-year-round hotel in the Pequot colony ard partially on the site of the old Peauot house, and to be one of the most modern hotels within the saltwater view, is in part denied. the fact remains that there is certainly something doing in that faShiona- ble section and that there will be di- vulging of the whole scheme before the present season of 1911 comes to an end There is report current that the entire plot of land fronting on Pequot avenue and including the Palmer, Learned, and Pequot house site prop erty down as far as the Jones resi- dence, at G1enwood avenue, and ex- tending back and including the Kirk land and Pequot properties on Glen Chappell street, are all to come under one ownership, perhaps a syndicate This would give one extensive tract of land extending clear back to Montauk avenue, and would mean the elimina tion of Chappell street It would make an ideal site for an immense hotel with spacious grounds and include a sea and country view that would be unsurpassed on the Atlantic coast. Rumors of this class are invariably lacking in verifcatien for as rule plans to the public much in advance of actual operations.
 Not long ago the Pequot company composed in the main of Senator Frank E. Brandegee, owner of the PeQuot house site, acquired by pur- chase the Gibert property in the rear. and in the rear of this property and continuing on to Montauk avenue is the Kirkland place. The Kirklands are now having a new home construct ed at the4corner of Gardner and Mon tauk avenues, which is plain indication that they are to abandon their pleas ant, spacious home for the new. The Kirkland property also occupies almost one side of ChappelI street. North of this property and adjoining the same is the Learned property, and the sew eral cottages owned by the Learneds are being removed and 1t is said that the location of the Learned residence property, fronting on Pequot avenue nue, is the former Hall property. now the cottages in ChAppen street are very few, and they could be readily acquired.
 The parties named, with the addi- tion of Morton F. Plant and a few other citizens of proninence and wealth and proxresSfveness, would make very strong syndicate, and that iss about the size Of the makeup, according to the current ruinors. The extensive hotel ruzttdrz would be one that would be easy 6f solution, if con-

buy oranges and peanuts from a Nor wich wholesale firm. He says he can not buy first class fruit in New Lon- don, as none is obtainable, but had to pay the price of first class goods for a second class article, and that his customers had to do likewise. He was dissatisfied and so were his customers but now the retailer is happy and so are his customers. as they are enabled to get the best products of the orange groves purchased but not grown in the Rose of New England.
 The local dealer says that it must cost more to land oranges in Norwich than in New London, still he can buy first class fruit in Norwich for the same price that is charged for an in ferior grade in New London, and he has therefore transferred his trade in that particular line to Norwich. This same dealer declares that in the sew eral lines of goods carried in his bus- mess, aside from fruit. that he can get better goods from Norwich houses and at no increase in price than he much to spend his good money that should go into the tills of New Lon- don dealers to Norwich firms, but de- clares that he must do it to maintain his local trade that demands the best goods obtainable, the customers ob- jecting to paying the highest prices for inferior goods. This is a matter that ought to receive the attention of the New London board of trade and the New London business mems as- sociation; but perhaps this cannot be done consistently, as it is alleged that some of the officers and members of both booming organizations, or organ izations of boomers, do not as rule patronize home merchants. and per- haps for reasons similar to that given by the dealer in fruits.

has voted to perpetuate the memory of Shapley on a tablet of bronze. The magazine Is all that is left of the original fort, and therefore it's gran ite front is the most fitting place for the memorial tablet. It is well that this patriotic organization came into existence and with 1t the Daughters and the Children of the American Rev. olution, that the names of the Heroes of Seventeen Seventy Six might have perpetual perpetuation.
 Although in existence but a com paratively few years the good york of tho kindred organizations is in ev fdence all over the country and it is of the character that is everlasting. In the near future a committee will be selected to arrange for the erection and the dedication of Shapley and the obtaining of the federal government the required permission to place the tablet within the fort reservation.
 The now system of changing the beats of the police quarterly is evi- dentIy satisfying to the mayor and to the police committee, for the plan is to be continued and there will be ari- other change to go into effect Sat- urday. There will be a complete change with the exception of the re- tentlon of Officer Walter as night keeper of the police station; and Off, ASAAOOAA1AA same beat at the Peduot that he has patrolled ever since he gave up the work of handling stone to swinging a night stick. Once leaving the station after reporting for duty, he is not heard from at police quarters until he reports for duty the next evening, unless he happens to want the patrol wagon. which is almost as rare an event as the flying of the American flag from the staff on the roof of the city hall. Ever since the police signal system became useless he has no way of reporting at intervals to headquar- ters, and as his residence is ill the Pequot section he is not required to walk to the police station at four o'clock in the morning to. report off duty, or anything; else. It is well that he is thoroughly reliable officer, or such a condition might not be for the best interests of the police force.
 It may be all right to make tlSese changes quarterly, but there are some who do not think that the public is best served by these frequent changes, as officers are shifted just as they
