J. W. Lapsley-There has been quiet

There is no news to account for the

L. and c. Randolph-Although there
was some pronounced irregularity in the
price movements all through the first
hour the more important issues were in
brisk demand and made good gains, and
a strong tone prevailed in the majority
of the usually active issues. Union
Pacific was one OF the most prominent
features rejecting persistent accumula-

plan of dissolution will be announced
next week.
Canadian Pacific was under pressure

Be Studied.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston yes
terday appointed Charles ]. Brand. Of
Illinois, as chief of the new Division OF
Markets in the Department Of Agricul-
ture.
This division was created by an act Of
the last Congress, and the sum of 80
co was made Available for its work. The
work, according to a statement yester-
day from Secretary Houston, will be
along the lines OF the general extension
OF the cooperative method of handling
marketing. and distributing farm prod
ucts, and the elimination of waste. loss.
and unnecessary charges
Concerning the new division. Secretary
Houston said:
There has been an insistent and
growing demand that the government
take steps to help in the establishment
Of economic systems of distribution and
marketing of farm products. Congress
at the last regular session made an ap-
preparation of $1,000 to begin the work.
Importance OF Farming.
Secretary Houston and Assistant Sec
rotary Galloway recognize that the busi-
ness of farming is an important part of
the great business structure of the coun-
try, and economical methods of market
ing farm products and the supplying
of farmers with proper credit facilities
at Reasonable interest rates are the great
practical problems that must be settled
before radical Improvement in the social
and economic conditions Of country life
can be attained.
The Office of markets will, as far as
possible. be manned by experienced men.
The cotton handling and marketing
studies will be continued, and as quickly
AS possible specific work with food prod
ucts will be taken up.
Somewhat better prices for the pro-
Queer and lower costs or better products
for the consumer and manufacturer are
the aim of the work. It is a difficult
one, but much good is expected from il.
Savings in selling and handling expense
and reduction of loss through waste and
improper business organization will be
important features of the department.

Il do not look for a good bond market
until 1914, as l do not see how it is posi-
BILE to have either good bond market or
a good stock market until bank reserves
are restored and all fear removed from
the minds of the public. Between now
and then We shall have undoubtedly a
new tariff law and new banking and
currency law introduced, il not actually
passed These things will help to clarity
the financial atmosphere very much, and
whatver readjustments must take place
will be understood and arranged. These
are artificial conditions which men have
created and which men with all Of their
ingenuity will be able TO meet.
Loans are generally we'll secured.
Bonds are selling at low prices, but these
are not bad conditions in view of all of
the things that we have been expert

THE FUTURE OF COL. COCKTAILS.
What shall the builder of the Fan
ANA canal do after the accomplishment

The question seems even more VeA-
ing than does that regarding the 1u'uIe
of the country's ex-presidents. Tx
presidents are usually fitted to become
either teachers or writer's OF po,n'
occupations which provide them WIN
a means Of public expression IN olsnr
fed retirement. But Colonel Goethals
has been so much more a man OF az
tion than of words that it would seem
az If these old standbys of the ex-
president would hardly provide MIN
with the proper medium for the con-
tinued expression of his splendid per-
sonality.
It is. the tragedy of supreme achleVe-
ment that period Of anti-cl1max END
ing in death must follow. There is no
similar lob to be had as big as that
which Colonel Goethals now has and
must so soon relinquish. The COVER
norship of the canal zone has been sug-
gested; the mayor-elect OF New YORK
has been reported to be anxious that
Colonel Goethals become his ponce
commissioner; Dayton, Ohio, mas ASH

MIXED APPROPRIATIONS.

The last legislature of the state OF

something like ten or twelve mllllons

mark about the capitol costs the resi-
