from him the seIectTnen have not ex-
pI1cftly refused payment although at
their last meeting they 1ntorna11y
gave Mr.. Bloomer to understand that
to them of his appointment they did
not see how they could accord him Of
ffcial recognition At the same time
they had some time previously accord
ed him such recognition by placing
at his disposal the amount of the ap-
Precipitation noted by the annual town
sequence bills presented to the super
visor for road work were paid by the
town treasurer after being approved
by Mr. Boomer, the claimS%be1ng thus
sefectmen without being passed upon
BY them in detail. Here is one OF
the inconsistencies of the case. pn-
der these circumstances there natural
" suggests itself the inquiry why the
supervisor did not secure payment of
his own claim by the same process he
other bills contracted by him. Why
aid he feel called upon to approach
the seIectmen on the subject? Still
another Inconsistency and conun-
drIitu.
However, Mr.. Blooner proceeded to
repair the informality of which the
selectmen complained by securing
from J. H. Jennings, secretary of the
special committee that hired him, a
document certifying to his appoint
Trienf and to the fact that his compen-
satfon was to be $500 for the year or
esq 66 monthly. First SeIectman San
for6 received the document ON Tues
day of this week and assents to the
Proposition that it removes the pre-
vioIIsIv existing objection to the
f,oard's, entire official recognition of
MI BIooner. Hence it might be in
sgrred that the board at their next

Saturday of this month will promptly
execute and hand to Mr.. Bloomer an
order for his long referred salary

NAVY SNOBBERY DENIED

Il place absolutely no credence." de-
clared Secretary Daniels. 'tn these tales
Of widespread snobbishness In the navy
there may be few snobs In the service.
but the percentage is no greater than in
other professions, and l regret exceeding
iy that contrary impression appears to
obtain In some sections.
The great majority Of the officers OF
the navy are gentlemen. not snobs. They
do everything possible to uphold the
honor and traditions of the service, and I
greatly deplore the criticism and COM
ments which former members Of the per-
sonnet OF the navy are reported to have
made. These criticisms cannot do any
good. and they can do q lot OF harm by
disappearing conditions
Mr.. Daniels remarks were based on
charges recently published by Arthur
Middleton Of this city, former assistant
paymas;er in the navy, Of the alleged
existence in the navy OF snobbery, social
caste. drinking, gambling. disrespect OF
women. Although Mr.. Middleton was not
in the navy very long. he made cruises
on the Pacific coast on the cruiser Dem
Yer and the gunboat yorktown.

LONDON MARKET.

LONDON, October Money was in
increased demand today, and discount
rates were firmer on the withdrawal
of $5.75O.OOO gold for shipment to
Egypt Germany bought the bulk Of
the s., $50 900 South African gold offered
in the open market yesterday.
The market Is discussing an early adj
vance I'm Che bank rate, but In view of the
disbursement Of dividends shortly. the
strong position of the bank and the pos
sibility Of a reduction in the German
bank rate it is hardly likely that our
rate will advance yet, unless America
takes gold from this center.
The stock market was quiet and gen.
orally firmer in the forenoon on better
Paris buying and local covering. which
caused an Improvement in many in
stances but the market closed below the
best. Consols were lower on the large
gold exports. but copper shares We're
supported on rumors Of favorable sta
tistics. Rio Tintos were strong leaders.
American securities after a steady
opening advanced under the lead of
Union Pacific.

SHOWS MARKED DECREASE.
Stock Exchange Business for Nine
Months Suffers by Comparison.

NEW YORK. october 1.-Business on
the stock exchange for the nine months
Of the calendar year ending yesterday
showed a marked falling off in COM
parison with the corresponding period Of
1912, despite the greater activity and
general price advances Of the last few
weeks.
At the close of yesterdays session a
total Of approximately 65OOO,OO0 shares
was recorded for the first three-quarters
Of the year, while bond sales aggregated
about $685., 100000. These totals represent
a decrease of about 81 100000 shares and
$185, Co., 600 bonds compared with the
same period last year.
To an extent, however. these figures
are considered misleading, for the reason
that under the policy OF reform in
augurated by the exchange early in the
year the daily operations OF the past few
months are believed to represent more
actual business than was transacted In
former years, when manipulation often
was a fragrant character.
Brokers view the outlook as more hope
full than some months ago. This is in
dicated in the partial recovery Of the
price of stock exchange seats from their
low price Of the midyear.
Conservatism is still the keynote, and
that attitude may be expected to con-
tinue pending a better understanding OF
the tariff and currency bills and other
potent factors.
