oring to widen the field of their en-
deavors.

CREDIT OF ]. S.
SHOWN GOOD BY
new b0ND|SSUE
Average Price Bid on Pan
anna Bonds Higher Than
Foreign Loans; Small In
vestors Get the Bulk.

Washington, D. c.. June 49, An
nouncement may be made late today
of the investors who bid successfully
for the new 3 per cent $50,000, 900
Panama loan.
AS the tabulating has progressed
1t has become more apparent that
most of the issue will go to indi-
viduals, trustees of estates, schools
and public institutions rather than to
banks. Treasury officials felt they had
been vindicated in their prediction
that there was a public demand for q
government guaranteed form Of in
vestment.
Although the treasury will realize
about SCI, 100000 from the sale, they
will reimburse the cash drawer for
only about q third Of what has been
advanced on the building OF the Pan
anna canal The proceeds Of this loan,
however, will strengthen the working
balance to probably $90.000,000 and
no immediate issue OF more bonds
seems probable. There are still $780,
100000 Of the same sort oe bonds
available for issue, according to law.
The government will deliver the
bonds at the direction of the buyers.
AS the bonds are. dated June 1st. the
coupon form will be delivered with the
first interest coupon clipped on and a
treasury check for the proper amount
of interest will be mailed to the hold
ers.
Some lively trading in the bonds is
expected on the New York curb dur
ing the coming week. One estimate Is
that $8,O00,000 of the securities were
sold during the last month, for deltv-
cry when issued, some at prices
higher than 103.
With the addition of this $4,000, 900
issue the bonded indebtedness OF the
United States is increased to $685.
00O, 900. OF that, $720,0OO,000 draws in
terest at 2 per cent; $114,000,000 at 3
per cent and $11s,00o,000 at per
cent.
Most Of thos bonds, with the excep-
ton of this newest issue, were held by
national banks and are used as the
basis of note circulation. Banks may
use the new bonds as security for
public deposits. There is limited de-
mand for them for that purpose.
Credit Of U. 8. 10 High.
The average price of $102.60 bid is
taken to indicate that the credit of
the United States is higher than that
of England, Germany or France.
where government securities are sell
ing at discount.
In the thousands of bids received
many irregular ones could not be con-
sidreed. One man In Leadsburg, Pa,
bid for the whole issue and enclosed
his note. The treasury officials think
they surrounded the issue with safe
guards which made "shoestring" bids
impossible.
The next move in sight In the gov
ernment's finances will be the refund
ing Of the Spanish war loan of which
$64, 100000 is still outstanding.
It Is due now and payable until
1918. 1t probably will be refunded by
another issue of Panama bonds, but
undoubtedly not within another year.

VIOLENCE BY STRIKING
 GARBAGE COLLECTORS
Bricks and Other Missiles Thrown from Roofs at Workers.

New York, Nov. 3.-Street Commits sfoner William Edwards sought today to break the strike declared by over 2,500 striking garbage collectors, but
 was worsted. With thirty strike breakers he tried to move some of the garbage carts which have remain ed idle since last night because the men refuse to do night work. and notwithstanding they were heavily guarded by police, they met with riot ous treatment by. strikers or their sympa thiZers. In front of one stable a shower of bricks and other missiles was thrown from nearby roofs, some of the assallants being women. Four policemen were knocked down and others were slightly hurt, and the strike breakers were put to rout. The fort to move garbage tonight was abandoned.
 Edwards sent appeals tonight to the loyalty of his force of 2,500 street sweepers and sent offers of jobs as cart drivers to more than 5000 labor CTS on the civil service waiting list. He said he would have 100 policemen on guard at each of the 25 stables to- morrow and an effort would again be made to move garbage which is ac- rapidly on all the city's streets Edwards suggested the men ace which much delay in removing; the garbage would entail, but the weather holding cooi and with brisk winds there is yet no great danger, Edwards said.

 Spread a Little Change to chanae
 Sentiment"
 Lantz said he met Corwin on tho street in Springfield while the dead win asked him as to the possibilitv or the combination of democrats and re- puhlicans. Lantz told Corvin, he said, that the only men who possibly could be elected by such a combination were Speaker Shurtleff and Mir. I.orimer. Lantz then quoted Corwin as saying:

8. & M. TAXES DOUBLED
 IN NEW HAMPSHIRE Railroad Commissioners Are Also Try9 ing to Reduce the Rates.

Boston, Nov. 9.-Besides voting t& expend $5,000, 900 for additional land aG the Portland Me, terminal, the stock holders of the Boston and Maine rail- road at 6 special meeting today learned many interesting facts relative to the company.
 President Mellen told the stockhoid- CTS that the greatest obstacle he had to overcome was in New Hampshire. The Boston and Maine had purchased roads in that state and had raised rates. Tho New Hampshire railroad commission CTS had doubled the taxes on the BOs- ton and Maine and were now seeking to reduce these rates.
 President Mellen estimated the foat- ing debt of the Boston and Maine at between s6,00O.000 and S70O0,000. H9 said that before July l, 1912, the com pany must have $10O0O,00O to pay this debt and to provide for improvements, as the Boston and Maine must keep in the same relative position as the Maine Central. Every time that the Maine Central increases its stock and makes improvements he said, the Boston ana Maine must reach down into It's treas ury and pay 52 ner cent. of the costss as that is the proportion of the Maine Central stock which it owns
 Tn conclusion MT. Mellen said: 'I ex- pect at the next annual meeting of thd to have a much better statement, as we intend to keep eN~ penses down."
 SubseauentIy to the stockholdersf meeting the directors of the road mel and declared the regular quarterly dividend of one per cent.
