STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Selling Movement Continued,
with Heavy Declines.

After a quiet opening which dis
played an initial degree of strength.
the stock market yesterday had an
other sinking spell and declines fol-
lowed throughout most of the list. AS
Oh other days during last week, the in
dustrials exhibited a marked degree
of weakness and sold to levels below
the recent declines in most of the is
sues of that class. Among the stand
ard stocks, Union Pacific and Reading
showed the greatest losses on the days
trading. Reading almost doubling the
loss of Union Pacific and leading in the
volume of trading all the other stocks
dealt in. Southern Pacific, on the con-
trary, was well supported and not only
resisted the downward tendency of
most of the stocks, but at the close
recorded gain for the day. American
Can issues, both preferred and COM
mon. were subjected to considerable
/ selling, and at the close of the session
each had minus sign exceeding >
points. American Tobacco WAS the
spectacle Of the day and droppDG more
than 81 points on transactions of only
about five hundred shares. Among
other stocks which were pronouncedly
weak last week and showed no i'm
provement were Goodrich, California
Petroleum, Woolworth. p. Loriliard.
Loose Wiles, Mexican Petroleum and
United States Rubber. Two exceptions
10 the list were May Department Stores
and Sears Roebuck, which yesterday
were marked up again, the former
and the latter more than ) points
From the appearance of the list as a
whole very little can be CLEANED TO
account for the irregularty Of prices,
except that several of the issues which
sold off the easiest evidently had been
held as collateral, and were forced into
the open market yesterday. Whether
this may be accepted as a sign that
the selling out process has about
reached its final effort will be demon
strated within the next few days. The
bull campaign a few days since re-
ported to have been mapped out for the
Can stocks would seem TO have lost
all inspiration. Without rumors ex
cept that a federal inquiry was being
made into American Can affairs at Bal
timore, where the company has some
interests, Can stocks at one time were
in almost demoralized condition. SO
much has developed to centre the at
at home that for the time being the
reported gradual improvement in the
Balkan situation has ceased to exercise
much potency. Ordinarily the recon-
vening of the Supreme Court would
have been Of striking interest TO Wall
Street. but yesterday. with March
still very distressing. the politicians
at Albany contemplating extreme
measures in an attempt TO regulate the
Stock Exchange and the period ar
irving when the Pujo committee will
unbosom itself on Wall Street, there
were too many distracting factors for
traders TO pay much heed to the Min
nesota rate case decision, had il been
handed down. The local money mar
ket was comparatively easy, renewal
loans being made for call money at
8 per cent Time money was also
somewhat lower.

JUST GOVERNMENT LEAGUE.
Mrs. Gets Of Massachusetts, Makes Ad-
dress Defines Democracy.

The Just Government League was
addressed yesterday afternoon by
Mrs. Gets, Of Massachusetts. and il
was matter Of regret that so few
were present TO hear such fine eX-
position of the true meaning of De-
mocracy, and to be reminded we are
falling behind in vigorous earnest
thought about questions affecting
the whole People who are supposed
TO be living under Just government
for best development of individual
life.
Mrs Gets quoted that wonderful
thinker, Theodore Parker. as saying
that the early form of Government
Theoeracy was a & lvernment by a
few people Cor all of the people.
Aristocracy a government by few
for few people, but Democracy was
government for all of the people, BY
all Of the people. Logically. women
are part Of the people, and this
country has at last awakened to the
fact that they are a large part, and
the primal instinct Of women being
house cleaning they are becoming
sweeping factors in good govern
mtnt. They are bringing out much
rubbish that has cloEged the machin-
cry and busting away at the cob-webs
that have obstructed vision and fes-
tooued shelves of wicked and UNJUST
legal literature.
Mrs Gets urged women not to be-
come discouraged because OF the slow
progress suffrage seems to be making,
reminding US that all good and teRdy
growths were slow growths, and if
We only make 1.-TWO blades OF grass
grow where only one grew before
it is a work Of benediction. A move
towards that state Of perfection pic
tured in the heart of humanity, If it
is direction we follow instead Of a
point of arrival, this need not dsunt
our desire.
The League will be addressed on
Monday next by Mrs Barret. Nation
al President of the Florence Critten-
den Mission, on a subject of direct
interest to all of the people, whether
iute rested in suffrage or not. One
can hardly afford TO miss hearing this
and we beg the readers of the Capt.
tai TO be ar the date in mind and lend
the listening ear on Monday next Mt
8 80 o clock.

NEW TROLLEY WIRE
ON THE SHORT LINE
Great Improvement Rapidly Near
ing Completion.
STEEL CARS FINISHED.
Road To Change From Alternating To
Direct Current First OF Year in
Time for Legislature.

With the completion of the new
trolley wire this week, the Annapo-
lie Short Line has concluded one of
the most interesting pieces OF work
attempted in this vicinity for some
time Such has been the interest
aroused among the operators Of
high-speed electric railroads through
out the country that representatives
Of the principle trade papers Of
this and other countries have sent
representatives to view the work.
The mere striuging of copper troll
ley wire is not such an unusual event
as 10 cause any particular interest,
but the problem presented to the
railroad company in renewing or re-
placing the worn trolley wire was a
new problem, necessitating, as it did,
the maintainauce Of the regular
schedule of passenger trains while
the work was being carried on. To
do this night work was necessary.
An engine pulled the new steel
trolley wire into position for the force
which later fastened the wire into
place. This latter force worked from
the top of box cars, on which scat
fold had been built aud lights were
supplied by a gasoline engine ard
generetor in one of the cars. Hang
ers, fastertrs used in connecting Tire
messenger wire, old trolley wire and
new steel wire, toge ther were place.
in position by the men working on top
of the cars.
The copper wire was pc rmitted to
renal because of its conductivity of
electricity and the steel wire, which
was placed two inches below it, re-
ceives the contact of the psntogrsph.
This morning all Of the steel wire
was placed from Camden yard, Balti-
more, to the Annapolis yard. The
other improvements are being push
ed to rapid completion. The new
sub-station at Jones' Station is be-
ing equipped with new machinery in
preparation for the change from al
ternating to direct current the first
of the year.
New feeder wire is being placed
ana within few days all of the new
ran JULIUS VIII DG CUAIHACNEQ= ne
new cars, all steel, modern in equip
men, comfortable and pleasing in
design and particularly suited to
high speed travel are practically com
pltted. Mr.. T. c. Cherry, general
manager, Mr.. d. E. Grouse, engineer,
and Mr.. +. Scott Arnold, general
passenger agent, have been to Spring
field, Mass, making the final inspec-
tion of the cars.
Tomorrow Mr. F. E. Gould, spec
ial agent of the road, will go TO
Springfield after the first shipment
of new cars. All of the electrical
apparatus has been placed in them
and they will travel on their own
trucks, being of standard design and
conforming TO the standard set by the
Master Car Builders Association.
When the new cars are placed in oper-
alton the first of the year the Short
Line will be an all-steel line, with
steel cars, steel trolley wire and
steel rails.

weeks ago. one by Alderman Parkin-
sou and another by Alderman Rus
sell. Mayor Strange referred both
Of the measures TO the consideration
Of the Committee on Resolutions,
composed OF Aldermen Parkinson,
Linthicum and Russell. Because Of
features embodied in one. and not in
the other resolution, a compromise
measure was finally argeed upon
and favorably reported to the Council
last night.
That the midshipmen at the Naval
Academy would have the opportunity
of studying the practical part of the
manufacture Of material for the
construction of ships OF the Navy, is
one % the advantages set forth in
favor Of establishing the proposed
plant in this city. The resolution
further points out that the Govern
ment now owns a tract of land near
the Naval Acads my, with excellent
railrc ad and water facilities, where
the plant could be built
Under the resolution the Mayor
is empowered to appoint committee
Of ten prominent citizens to formu-
late plans for presentation to the

Congress may designate to select the
site for the said armor plate plant, and
tell of the advantages of Annapolis for
the factory. Mayor Strange is desig-
mated ex-officio chairman of this COM
mittee. He has not yet appointed
the other members.

tanned in communication lrom the
Women's Civic League, through Mrs.
John w. Martin, chairman, tor the
erection of such a fountain in the
public square of Market Space The
project originated entirely with the
Civic League and the members of
the organization have been showered
with praise as a result.
The que stion Of proposed repairs

Committee on Streets with power TO
act, providing the costs of the re-
pairs will not exceed $50 Likewise
the Committee on Public Buildings
was empowered to act on the request
{ f AssistantFire Marshall Moss for the
erection Of door leading to the stair
way of the Rescue Hose Company s
quarters on West street. The plac.
ing of this door is regarded as a
necessity in order to keep down the
Odors from the stables.
The Council rece ived and filed the
reports Of the several city officials
tor the month of November, and
passed the usual order approprjating
