 Legislation Now

William Lorimer on next Monday will be given an opportunity of relating to the members of the Investigating com mittee of the Senate the manner in which he secured the senatorial nomin- ation at the hands of the suffrage of Illinois.
 Senator Joseph F. Johnston. who will leave this morning for Washington, is a member of the committee appointed for the purpose of finding out whether or not the charge Is true that Lorimer landed the job after the expenditure of a fabulous sum of money.
 Senator Lorimer." said Senator John ston yesterday. will go on the stand next Monday. There is no doubt but that several days will be required to take his testimony, and it Is presumed that what he will say will tend to clear up some of the circumstances con- corning which there is doubt at the present time. 1 cannot foretell when the committee will be prepared to make it's report td- the SenatN although fol- lowing the testimony of Lorimer, there will be. little remaining to be done by the committee.

Several of the Morris avenue oushess houses were closed during a part of yes terday A few places of business were closed for the day, but the majority were open until noon. The morning trade however, was very good for the opening of the new year.

 There was an abundance of dressed fowl to be seen on the thoroughfares, for which the demand was quite brisk. Fresh eggs were plentiful at 30 cents a dozen.
 In the produce markets the receipts of two cars of oranges relieved the mar ket which had been almost exhausted With the exception of the supply of eel cry other produce seemed to be plentiful with prices strong and steady.

New York. January Wall street will begin the new year with the wish that it may be more prosperous than it was in 1911 When business is re- sumed tomorrow in the financial world after the holiday brokers will greet each other with Better luck this year. rather than the usual Happy New Year.
 The last 12 months have seen hard times in Wall street. Business was poor most of last year except for a few of the large houses A broker who has been in Wall street for 2i years said that last year was the dull- est he ever had experienced. Some brokers were forced to quit the street to earn a living. One such former broker is selling automobiles. Another is New York representative of south ern cotton concern
 Trading in stocks fell far below that of 1910, itself not good year. Not only on the stock exchange, but on the other exchanges and on the curb mar ket, the depression was felt All through. the year the public refused to purchase stocks
 There was active speculation at times among Wall street traders, but there was no general participation by the public. It was this which was felt most keenly.
 Some brokerage houses were com pelled to reduce their expenses large ly Employees were discharged, pri- vate wires were discontinued, and eX- penses were curtailed wherever pos sible.
 A few of the larger houses with the best connections were able to do q large business but for the majority con ditons were unfavoraDle.
 The years poor business conditions were generally regarded as responsible for the slump in trading. When Wall street shut up shop for 1911, with the ringing of the gong on the stock eX change at midday Saturday, a feeble cheer was given by the brokers on the floor That was the only tribute to the passing of the year, and in failing to observe the occasion with d hilarious celebration, tradition of many years standing was shattered.
 It is customary to celebrate the turn of the year by decorating the exchange with evergreen and holly, and by bring ing in a band The younger members year ended however, ih such deep gloom that nothing of the kind was at- tempted.
 On the consolidated stock exchange or little board as it IS known thero was a Christmas celebration and the produce exchange provided vaudeville entertainment and a square meal for some of the city's poor children.

and swiftness of movement to over
