Citation.
Disposition of the Bears.
One feature showing in the market
at the weeks end touches the dispo-
sition Of bear operators to feel OUT
the preferred stocks of various In
dustrial corporations. They started
in on Republic Steel preferred and
have since devoted themselves rather
alertly to nagging processes against
Central Leather preferred. American
Wooden preferred. Pressed Steel Car
preferred and other issues of similar
status. It Is urged by those who make
these attacks that there has been vir-
tually no liquidation in the industrial
preferred shares, while in the preferred
rather than in the common stocks there
are holdings by pools which have been
unable to get out at a profit 1t will
not be surprising if this line of at
week and perhaps aggressively against
at least two of the preferred issues
named.
In United States Steel common stock
there has accumulated a short inter-
est much beyond anything recently ap-
preached. Brokerage houses credited
with being close to influential elements
in the steel trust itself are discovered
as sellers of steel common-but there
are some suspicious souls inclined to
believe that this detected selling was
really arranged for detection, so as to
seduce the trading element upon the
stock exchange into further short sales.
But whether 1T be that trap is set
or that the new selling represents ac-
tual liquidation, it may be put down as
sure that exceptional transactions in
the steel quarter are apart from what
goes on in the general market. Rail-
way reports forecast to be very gloomy
turn out encouraging. Net railway
traffic results for the first two months
of 1912 will make no such bad show
ing as was popularity predicted.
I believe-as over and over again
urged in this review-that the large
money, the substantial profits, in our
current market are going to be reap
ed by those who buy the low priced
stocks.

Railway Managers Cheerful.

What in the railway world is to be
taken as most significant is that railroad
managers themselves are beginning to
talk confidently Of the outlook. They
were all blue couple Of months ago
and had been bluue for months before.
Now their calculations swing vigorously
over to the side of cheerfulness. 1t at
tests their sincerity in their new views
that they are beginning to make prep
arations for equipment expenditures be-
yond the record for a half dozen years.
There are hints that J. p. Morgan Is
to return from Europe earlier than origi-
naEy contemplated-may be here before
the end of March-will be here personally
to champion the investment interests Of
the country. in SO far as they may be
the object of market assault.

Coal Strike Possibility.

Far and away the most troublesome
factor in the business situation has to do
with the possibility Of coal strike in
this country. Much is made of the diffi-
culties in the same trade abroad, but
what occurs there cannot Immediately
have much influence here-while the until
mate effect of a continuous British coal
strike would necessarily be to the adj
vantage of business America, for while
labor union interdict, there would open
opportunities for marketing American
goods abroad while English manufacture
ing Industries were under handicap.
In so far as our own coal situation
Is concerned there is less Likelihood OF
actual conflict between labor and CAPT.
tai than the wiseacres were so freely
predicting before New Year. Conces-
sions which seemed impossible then
have now, become mutually feasible,

PASSING OF THE VOTING MACHINE.

L is not unlikely that the voting machine will be discarded
in Buffalo, too. At the late election the requirement of
the law that presidential electors should be voted for sepa-
rately compelled a readjustment of the voting machines so that
a distinct manipulation of the mechanism was required in order
to register the vote for electors separately. The result was that
six thousand voters neglected to vote for presidential electors,
not understanding the manipulation of the machine. New Jer.
sy discarded the voting machine for several reasons, among
them this Acknowledgement of the voter. But the principal
objection lies in the fact that in machine voting the elector does
not handle a ballot and has to rely on an unknown mechanism
hidden in a box to do the voting for him. No voter who has
voted On a voting machine can swear that his vote was recorded.
He doesn't know, and cannot know. The ballot should be secret,
but there should be no mystery between the voter and his ballot.

TRoLLEY sERXYcE DURING cHRLsTMAsTLDE

n 4 is important for Newark storekeepers that there should be
ample trolley accommodations between the city and neigh
- boring places during the season of holiday buying. Thou.
sands of people come to Newark during the season and many
from long distances covered by the trolley. If the car service is
infrequent and the cars crowded this trade is discouraged and is
largely kept away. Having control of the principal avenues of
transportation in and out of a city, a trolley company can do
much to help or injure local trade, and it's policy should look to
benefits. Enterprise during the holiday season also fnuTes to
the advantage of the company, for it tends to increase the traffic
at all other periods of the year.

PARCELS POST ADVANTAGES.

w the public gets a taste of the parcels post system,
wv to be inaugurated New Years Day, they will begin to
" realize the benefits they have so long been denied
through express company and railroad influences at Washing
ton, and they will demand a parcels post such as England and
Germany have, and they will get it, too. Beyond doubt the
new system, faulty as it is, will materially help to cheaper the
cost of living; as butter and poultry and other products of the
farm can be obtained by parcels post up to eleven pounds, COM
munication can at once be established between the farmer and
the city consumer, to the advantage of both. Within the first
gone a parcel of five pounds can be carried for seventeen cents
and eleven pounds for thirty-fve cents, and it is within that
zone that the principal traffic will be done. Country people
living fifty miles from Newark can obtain their purchases by
mail or telephone in the same way.

THE CONSPIRACY ON EGGS.

YN HE cold storage houses in Hudson county and in New York
city are fairly bursting with eggs, withheld from market
to keep at artificial prices. The hope that the continued
moderate weather would force the egg monopoEsts to let go
their hold is not likely to be realized. But why cOnspiracies of
this kind against the common veal should be permitted by the
law passes understanding. No other country is cursed with
monopoies OF all the neeessaries of life. In Germany, where
the Standard Oil Company has obtained a hold but not a mo-
nopoly, the government is about to knock it out. Conspiracies
such as we see on every hand in the United States would be
prosecuted criminaly in Europe. Why do they exist unchecked
in this country? Why should 100000, 900 eggs be kept stored
in Hudson county to make artificial famine prices for the people

SITES FOR MclNERATINd PLANTS.

A FTER the city authorities shall have decided upon the
- erection of four garbage incinerating plants it will then
4 = be requisite to find locations for the plants. In all such
cases the question Of locality is the most serious feature of the
proposition, as the Newark Board of Health can testify after
it's vain hunt for a site for a contagious disease hospital. Some
years ago a private company, organized to carry on q garbage
reduction plant, was deferred from the business by the same
difficulty. Garbage reduction plants should be conveniently
placed to save long haulage. In what neighborhood, except in
the meadows, will there not be protest and opposition by resi-
dents and propertvowners? But probably after experience with
a single plant on the meadows has demonstrated its inofensye
character opposition elsewhere will be placated. The benefits
Of the system TO be introduced will appeal strongly to local
sentiment.

A BETTER DETECTIVE SYSTEM NEEDED

TH HE shocking crime of a negro in the outskirts of Trenton
this week, of which a young woman was the victim, calls
attention eanew to the imperfections of the police de-
tective system in New Jersey, if ii may be described as a system.
There is no State detective authority and only a few of the
larger municipalities maintain a detective force. These are
mostly composed merely of detailed policemen without any de
tective skill. When a great crime occurs in one of the smaller
municipalities precious time is lost, possible clues are obIiterated
and the case is in the hands of bungers. As a result the criminal
usually escapes and the crime goes UNPUBLISHED. With a we'll
organized State and municipal detective system in New Jersey
the fend searched for in Mercer would probably now be in
