Whatever may be the rule in his

This is a curious world and 'busi-

That is why there are many of our

And any number of rascals ca

There was the case of Lorimer.
Lorimer was a lovely husband. An
ideal father. A director of Y. M. c. AS.
and pillar of the sanctuary.
And was really honest in all these

factorily explained even to the United

green goods-when the eight hour bill
for women in the industries and occu-
pations is brought on the carpet.
1t will hit a good many of them.
But not nearly as hard as the latter

And when it's digested you never

Eight hours is certainly long enough

R. R. Commission FavOrs
Advance in B. and M. Rates;
Asks for New Directorate

BOSTON, Dec. 1--we are clearly
of the opinion that there should be a
substantial advance now provided
that such additional revenue can be
obtained without imposing upon the
public unjust and unreasonable trans
poratation charges, and provided fur
Their than some assurance can be
given that the money will be pru-
IDENTIFY expended in the public inter-
est
This is the declaration of the con-
ference of railroad commissioners
upon the proposition of the Boston
and Maine railroad to increase its
rates. The report of the conference
was made public last night by the
Public Service Commission.
Counsel for the company says
the report claimed that such in
crease should amount to at least
$5,000000 per year To this we do not
assent. 1t cannot be known until the
property is once more efficiently OPP
Grated and until it's leasehold lines
have been valued how much the adj
vance should be-"
The commission says that the at
tempt of the New Haven road to get
control of the Boston and Maine has
proved disastrous and the effect is
still obvious in the operating cost Of
the Boston and Maine Company.
1t also asserts that new directorates
are needed for the road as, while
there have been few individual
changes recently, the majority of the
membership is the same today that it
was year ago. This is not re-
assuring the report continues, "be-
cause If these gentlemen have in re-
cent times given any actual atten-
ton to the management of these
properties, their failure to see and to
do is evidence of their conspicuous
want of fitness for the place. The
deplorable showing of the roads
finances is due in a large part to
Encouragement"
The commissioners representing the
four Northern New England States
through which the Boston and Maine
operates conferred with Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty in
order that uniformity of opinion and
action might be established between
the federal board and the various
state boards. The Interstate Com
merce Commission has no authority
to approve in advance a schedule Of
rates, and cannot, therefore, permit
an advance. The railroad must first
lille its schedule, which will then be
examined and corrected by the COM
mission. The report of the commits
sloners has. therefore, no official
standing, but merely reflects what, in
their judgment, is the most advisable
thinS Tor the railroad to do.

Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The cotton
market was very active and unset
tied during today's early trading.
Gables were lower than due and the
local market opened easy at de-
cline of 10 to II points under heavy
liquidation or bear pressure. This
break carried January contracts off
to 1858 or the lowest price reached
in the local market since the same
delivery sold at 1885 toward the end
of October and stop orders were
evidently executed at the decline.
There was active demand from re-
cent sellers around the initial prices,
however. while there also appeared
to be some trade buying and prices
rallied several points from the low
est before the end of the first hour.
| Liverpool was buyer on the open
ing decline here, presumably I'M
doing of straddles at the widend diff
frences.
The census supply and distribution
figures may have contributed to the
carly weakness. A rally of 6 or Z
points toward the end of the first
hour was followed by renewed liqui-
dation. which carried prices 18 to 20
points net lower, and the market at
midday was still unsettled, although
prices We're 5 or G points up from
the lowest.
The failure of demand to broaden
on rallies of six or eight points from
the lowest inspired renewed general
selling during the early afternoon
which may also have been encour-
aged by runners of large private gin
ming returns. Active months sold
about 26 to 81 points net lower.

Grain Market

CHICAGO. Dec 15.-Larger world
shipments to the United Kingdom
than had been expected made the
wheat market today lean to the bear
side. Another influence against the
bulls was the fact that the Missouri
crop report gave the condition of win
ter wheat as 100 against 81 in Decem-
Der last year. There also were as
sertions that the quality of the crop
in North Argentina had turned out
better than a year ago. Prices started
Is to u lower. and after a slight re-
action they fell again.
A big decrease in the visible supply
helped afterward to bring about an
advance. The close was firm, I'M
changed to Il higher.
Nearly 500 carloads of new corn
were inspected for tedays market.
Prices weakened under the pressure
of such a large supply and showed
but little power to rally. The open
ing was unchanged to k@as off. A
subsequent small upturn soon disap-
peared.
Later, however, improved demand
from big interests led to a recovery.
The close was firm, a shade lower to
h@A higher compared with Satur-
day night.
Oats had sagglng tendency with
corn. Offerings, however, were only
scattered.
Although provisions displayed much
activity, the market went decidedly
lower on account of plentiful hog
receipts. First sales were 2ts to zoe.
down. and there was an additional
drop later

MARKET IS WEAK
IN CLOSING HOUR
Liquidation of Telephone and
Telegraph Shares Carries
Down List Swiftly.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-New Haven
rose nearly a point on active buying
at the opening today. The rest of the
list was lower. Canadian Pacific, the
weakest stock. lost "a. American
Telephone dropped rs to 114ss, new
low point. Rock Island preferred lost
one.
II a. m.-Uncertainty over the spec
ulative outlook and recurrent ltquida-
ton in American Telephone weakened
the market, after a good rally mad
been effected. American Telephone
broke s points, and other shares also
made new low prices for the move
ment.
Noon-Individua stocks were in
nuenced by special considerations,
but the movement generally 1ndl-
Gated growth of bearish sentiment.
New Haven, however, exhibited eX-
eeptional strength. its support COM
ing chiefly from the shorts, who found
il difficult to borrow the stock
Bonds were irregular.
D. m-Tendency of the market to
become oversold caused some recoV-
cry. which ran to a point in Amerl-
can Telephone. Success Of bear
drives on recent rallies restricted the
advance in the general list to small
proportions
D. m.-Renewed slump in Ameri-
can Telephone to II was discouraging
Ia bullish expectations in view of the
comparative steadiness of the after
noon market. Western Union broke
under the June figure to So. The Eff
feet elsewhere of this weakness was
trivial except in Canadian Pacific,
which was down points.
d. m.-The market closed weak.
Bear traders redoubled their enorts
when it was seen the recovery IN the
general market was not enduring
foundation of the telephone and tele-
graph shares carried down the list
swiftly to the days low figures.

London Stock Market

LONDON, Dec. 15-Money was in
good demand and discount rates were
steady today.
The stock market commenced the
week dull and hesitating and eased
off gradually on small but persistent
local and foreign selling. The closing
was weak, with consols about the
only steady exceptions. Mexican rails
were affected by the latest political
news.
American securities We're dull dur
ing the early trading. Prices opened
fraction higher, but sagged under
realizing during the first hour. Later
New York offerings added to the
heaviness and the list continued to
decline, with Canadian Pacific lead
ing. The closing was easy.
