Market SUMMARY.
Movements Of Price Are Alternateal
Up and Down.

New York. Nov. S.-Speculators In
stock marked time this week waiting
developments to give them definite
lead. Sentiment was still bearish but
the recent decline appeared to have
discounted the effect of overhangfng
unfavorable influences SO far as they
could be gagged. The movement of
prices was alternately up and down
and no changes in most cases were
small.
The uncertain status Of this country s
relation with MEXICO continued to ex-
ercise an important influence on specu-
lation. Traders we're unwilling to take
on stocks in view of the fact that some
sudden development in the Mexican SIT
uation might upset the market. Re-
ports from the steel and iron trade also
figured largely in restricting specula-
ton. Further reductions in prices were
made, operations were curtailed In some
case and incoming business was said
to be small.
The one favorable development of the
week from the standpoint Of the spec
ulator, was the relaxation in money
rates following the squeeze at the end
Of October. Call funds were lowered
materially. The effect of this tendency.
however, was limited, inasmuch as 1t
was recognized that last weeks furry
in money was due merely to monthend
financing and that a return to easier
conditions this week was virtually GER
tain.

PEPPERS At VASSAR.
1t Has Been Necessary to Double
Force OF Night Watchmen.

Poughkeepsie, Nov. s. "Peeping
Toms" who have been appearing
nightly about Vassar college have so
alarmed the girls that the manage
ment has put on a double force of night
watchmen to patrol the grounds. Each
member of the guard Is armed with a
revolver, a club and an electric flash
light. A number of men have been
amusing themselves by climbing the
trees surrounding the dormitories and
peeping through the windows.
Recently a young man whose name
has been withheld was caught. Heads
Of departments were called and he was
arraigned before them at once. They
learned that he belonged to a good
family living near the campus and he
was permitted to go upon his promise
to confine his calls to the daytime. Tho
arrest did not put an end to the nuis-
ance and the plan of doubling the night
guards was adopted.

ground owned by the city and let on long
leases to owners Of buildings thereon,
these two sources contributing more than

MAY REQUEST BOOTH
TO RESIGN OFFICE
Plan of McReynolds May Re-
suit in Elimination of Dis
trict Attorney.

Leaders OF the Utah Democracy see
in the declaration of United States
Attorney General j, G. MeRcynods to
reorganize the staff Of district attor-
neys throughout the United States the
probability of an immediate request
from the department of justice for the
resignation of District Attorney Hiram
Z. Booth of Salt Lake
The term of office of Colonel Booth
does not expire until late next June.
Local Democrats, however, have placed
in the hands of Mr.. McReynolds evi-
dence tending to show the connection
of Booth with the federal bunch politI-
cal machine in Utah and they expect
in view of the announcement of the
plans of the attorney general that in
the general revision of the staff OF
district attorneys Booth will be one of
the first to go.
According to a press dispatch from
Washington, officials of the department
of Justice pointed out that some Of the
federal attorneys now holding Office
were purely political appointees and
that it was the intention Of the attor-
ney general to request their resigna
tions and strengthen the government
service with new men wherever neccs.

unexpired terms
1t is announced that it is Il part of
the attorney general S policy to have
high grade lawyers us United States
attorneys, particularly that they may
be called upon by the department. at
Washington to aid in investigating
trusts and enforcing the Sherman law.
Democratic leaders locally declare
that Colonel Booth is undoubtedly
among those whom the attorney gen
eral will ask to rosign, They say that
in view of the evidence that has been
submitted TO the national administra-
tion and the department Of justice the
attorney general must look on Booth 8
as purely political and
they believe that within short time
it will be announced that Booth g res
gnation is requested. Colonel Booth |

Only two Democrats are applicants
for the office of district attorney. They

whc succeeded in escaping, gave the
alarm, and the rescue parties wore inn
mediately organized. Little hope, how
