WALL STREET NEWS
Tobacco, Hill Stocks, Union Pacific,
and Reading Head the Upward
Movement in Active Day.
BY THOMAS c. sHorwELL.

New York, Jan. Ie.-The wonderful spe-
ciaIty market that is in progress in Wall
street continued its upward swing to-day.
Tobacco shares made the most pro-
nounced gains, but the Hill stocks, Union
Pacific and Reading, headed the move
rnent, the last-named dominating the
. market at the close of the day. Nearly
all stocks were strong, and in the bond
department there was also great specu-
lative activity.
The reason for the activity given by
nearly every one was the prospect of some
extra dividend or segregation plan for
the Reading company. The favortte plan
to-day was 10 organize under one head
the various coal companies now owned
by both the Reading and the Jersey Cen
trail and distribute them as bonus TO
the Reading stockholders. This coal COM
pany could take ownership Of something
like 30 miles Of railroad track now con-
trolled by the Jersey Central in the
State of Pennsylvania, this track being
one Of the illegal features Of the present
system of ownership. Such deal would
leave the Reading company owning moth
ing but the Jersey Central trackage in
the State of New Jersey, and that would
not be illegal because the Reading sys-
TEN and the New Jersey uackage of
the Jersey Central meet end TO end and
are not parallel and competing IN any
sense.
No Alarm in Rival Camp.
Activity of the Hill stock was accom-
panied with a revival Of the report that
control. of the Western Pacific had been
secured. Strange to say. this report did
not cause any alarm in the Union Pa
Cific camp, Union Pacific advancing
along with the rest of the market. The
chief reason for suspecting the genuine
ness OF the Hill-Western Pacific rumor
was the fact that Denver remained
heavy. II the Hin people take the West
ern Pacific they will probably take the
Denver along with It, and when they
take il Union Pacific stock will probably
60 into mourning for a season
But developments in Union Pacific
to-day were such as TO show that the
system Is not going to sleep. J. ID. Far
rell, president Of the Oregon ashingtOn
Railroad and Navigation Company, an
nounced that his section Of the Union
Pacific system will be extended from
Seattle to Vancouver. This will give
the Union Pacific system a direct line
down the Pacific Coast from the great
est city in Canada to the Middle Of
Mexico, whence il win probably he eX-
tended to Panama, thus furnishing aC-
tive competition for the steamships that
may ply on the Pacific Coast All the
steamships i'm the world will thus con-
tribute TO the prosperity Of the North
and South Hartman railroad.
Money continued cheap, in fact. money
was heavy and could be borrowed at al
most any price one was willing to pay.
known movements of money Indicate a
gain of about S17.oOO,OOO by the local
hanks on the weeks movement. With
money piling up In New York so rapidly
il must be finding less to do in other
parts OF the country. and it may be that
the business boom is not so extensive as
generally believed.

Editor Colfd1 Chronicle:
have submitted my side of this ar
gument to the decision of the fair mind
ed reading public, who propose shall
sit in judgment in this case They have
the case before them for their de-
cision, namely: The chattel mortgage
law. Citizen is satisfied in his own
mind that it is an awful law. He
comes out in an article condemning it,
and tries to show eight reasons why it
is bad, and especially does he condemn
the action of T. o. Hart in the premi-
ses. l have replied to him and answer
ed all his charges, and showed that his
charges against this law are only imagi-
nary. l knock the stuffing out of him
and his objections. He employs law
yer to write for him, and said lawyer
does not attack the law, or even attempt
to reply to my argument in defense of
the law, but attacks me personally.
answer Mr.. Lawyer and Citizen, that,
being judge does not deprive me of
publishing my views on public matters
the same as any other private citizen.
| am not giving my views judicially, and
am not employed by T. o. Hart to de-
fend this subject. / am strictly giving
my own views as a private citizen.
You, Mr.. Citizen, have pronounced
my defense "slimy, skinny and scum
my" l wish to say that l am scrap
ping this thing out before the people.
| reserve my private opinion of you
and your lawyer and your silly chatter
on this thing. After giving my argu-
ments in the case you failed to even at
tempt to refute it, but only cited ex-
IRENE cases over in Texas. You fail
to tell us that this case was where a
man had already gotten the money for
his stuff, and tried to get double pay
for it. That is just what this law is
for: to enable poor man to get money
when needed, but not to protect him
when he tries to defraud.

Chattel Mortgage Controversy I'm
profitable.

For the second time we remind
our friends, who are so persistent
in what we regard as a useless
and Improbable controversy over
the merits and dement's of the
new chattel mortgage law, that
we have had enough, and we
think the Grant parish people
have had enough articles on the
subject, and we shall, for a while
at least, decline to publish fur
Their contributions on the subject.
Personally the editor thinks the
chattel mortgage was unneces-
sary, and will very likely injure
more people than it will ever
benefit. However, we have the
law, and a trial of its provisions
is the only thing that can deter
mine whether it will be hurtful
or beneficial. We think Louisi-
ana was far in advance of other
States in refusing for years to
allow a chattel mortgage. but
now we are to have a trial as te
whether or not there is any real
good in the law.

Their,Names Will be on the Tickets.
At the meeting of the Grant
Parish Democratic committee
held on August s, in reference to
DR.. j.. W.. Wilson, of ward two,
M. A. Walker, of ward five, and
Gus st. Andre, of ward six, the
committee decided that it was
without authority to endorse them
as qualified candidates for School
Director in those various wards,
on the ground that they did not
have $500 worth of property as
sessed to them as the law requir-
ed and plainly stipulated.
This action of the committee
was based on sec. a of Act 60 of
1906, srequiring that School Direc-
tors shall be assessed with $500
worth of property. 1t appears,
however, that this law has been
repealed by a late law, Act ga
of 1912, which does away with
the property qualification. This
new law was passed by the legis-
lature in July, and when the com.
mittee met August 8, they knew
nothing about it. although the
act had been promulgated for the
twenty days necessary to make
it effective throughout the State.
AS soon as this fact was made
known to A. A. Dean, chairman.
and H. G. Goodwin, secretary of
the committee. they signified
their readiness and willingness
to do all in their power to give
these parties the proper redress
to secure their rights. They &C.
