Details OF a stock market campaign
are of interest only to the expert.
Briefly. Wolf arranged for subscrip-
tions at par In the sum of $125, O00, 900
to start the ball rolling when the
stock should appear on the market.
The ball rolled. Shares were 81 900
each. but by an ingenious arrange

vised any one could buy an inter est

Quoted his advertising campaign, and
under his skillful guidance. aided by
suggestions from Wolf, the dollars
came out of forgotten corners. "A
thousand dollars now will make you
rich In old age'-this was the bait
that drew the bank accounts. From
every quarter of the globe little
stream of dollars issued, joining with
others and sweeping down in roar
ing flood on the offices OF the Tunnel
company. Day after day and week
after week the golden torrent swelled
and grew, and as fast as II came Wolf
devised means to put 1t to work where
each dollar OF the millions might earn
few cents before 1t was swallowed
up in the hole that Allan was driving
through the heart OF the earth.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Mild weather
over the greater part of the winter
crop belt tended today to prevent any
decided rally in wheat. Besides. there
were predictions of larger world ship
ments. Fair buying developed. but
the market was not responsive. Prices
started a shade to u lower, recov-
cred to q trifie above last nights
level and then sagged again.
Talk of small reserves on farms in
the Dakotas and Minnesota gave a
little help afterward to the bulls. So
also did the almost complete lack of
snow protection in the winter belt.
Closing prices were firm, % to Y above
last night.
Forecasts of lower temperature
West overcame weakness in corn.
Trade, however, was only of a scat
tered demand. The market at the out
set varied from " lower to a like
amount up, and then hardened to a
moderate extent.
Falling off in country sales aided
the bull side, but the effect failed to
last. The close was easy, B@A net
lower to Il advance.
Commission orders to purchase oats
at any decline made that grain firm.
Brokers found such instructions diff
ficult to fulfil.
Provisions were inclined to case off
with hogs, but sellers were checked
by signs that a material setback
would bring out adequate support.
First sales ranged from 21aQ5 off to
a shade advance, with slight set
back later.

Cotton Market

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-the cotton
market showed continued nervous
ness this morning. The opening was
steady at a decline of one point on
December, but generally one or two
higher in response to relatively steady
cables. There appeared no important
demand, however. and prices weak
ened under Wall Street and southern
selling with active months to net
lower during the first hour. Talk of
large ginning returns from the Cen
sus Bureau tomorrow may have been
partly responsible for the selling.
Otherwise the talk around the ring
reflected no special factor beyond an
unfavorable view of general trade
conditions, while reports from the
South claimed that interior holders
showed continued firmness late yes
terday.
January was relatively weak later
In the morning under liquidation,
which may have been inspired by the
steadily increasing local stock, and
the general list broke to net loss
of 10 to IA points. Rallies of or 4
points followed on covering, put the
market was still more or less unset
tied at midday.
Prices ruled 4 or points up from
the lowest during the early afternoon
on a scattering demand which was
supposed to be mostly In the way of
covering. Weekend figures were
considered about a standoff, and gen.
eral business was quiet.

At CLOSING HOUR
Advance Continues to the End
With Largely Increased
Dealings.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-All the
speculative fayorites were bid up at
the opening today. There was a lively
demand, and the leading shares were
taken In large blocks. Canadian Pa
cific made the best gain, amounting
to 2ss. Advances of point or more
were registered in New Haven, Read
ing, Union Pacific, Erie first pre-
ferred, Western Union and Wool
worth.
IL a. m.-Evening up of short con-
tracts carried the upward movement
considerably further. Practically all
of the well-known shares reached
levels between and 2 points higher
before the demand abated.
Noon-Advices respecting monetary
conditions abroad were more favora-
BILE, and the easier tone of day-to-
day accommodations in the home
market assisted operations on the
long side. Canadian Pacific, which
was exceptionally weak yesterday,
led the RISE and large number of
representative shares advanced In
striking fashion.
Bonds were firm.
p. m.-Spasmodic short covering
put the list higher here and there,
but the general average was not SEN
sibly altered. Business was on a
steadily diminishing scale.

The Star intends to work for a.
remedy in this matter and that means
carrying the case to the Legislature
when it convenes at Trenton on jan
uary IS of next year, at which time
it will try and convince the law
makers that If they are sincere in
their desire to help reduce the high
cost of living they will pass remedial
legislation so as to relieve the people
OF a burden that they are unjustly
carrying.
That it is within the power of the
Legislature to pass such laws that
there Is no doubt in the minds of
members of the legal fraternity, and
as point in question, the following
decision, State VS.. Organ Sc Ark 267:
THE ownership of fish is in the
State for the benefit of its people in
common, and the Legislature has the
right to permit individuals to catch
them upon such terms and conditions
as II may impose and to restrict the
property acquired in them when
caught to such an extent as it deems
proper. 1t may prohibit catching
them entirely. or for specified sea-
son, or 1t may permit them to be
caught for the use of the person who
hAe1hOS thAC Ittltti anu WilAlhDtu IuS
right to sell them or ship them for
sale"
Having established the right OF the
State to control the sale of the fish,
the court ends its duty, but the people
find that the price of fish is steadily
advancing, and they can't use the de-
cision as a means of filing the mar
ket basket, which Is surely getting
lighter and lighter as the commodities
grow heavier In price. 1t might also
be stated that the Star will not use
the decision quoted as weapon to
fight the pound nets, as 1t believes
that they are necessity and 1t has
no fight against them, but it Is I'M
equivocally opposed to the system
whereby the people are compelled to
pay exorbitant prices for that which
is theirs in the first place, and to pay
that pound of flesh to men who have
no connection with the State or Its
people.

filed with the State Fish and Game

A rural politician was asked by his

one day to dig the potatoes in the
garden. He consented, and after dig
ging few minutes he returned to
the house, and in the presence of his
two sons said he had found a coin.
He washed the dirt off, and 1t proved
to be a quarter. He put it in his
jeans and went back to work. Pres
emily he went to the house and told
the family he had found another coin;
this time it was half dollar. He
put it in his jeans.
Il have worked pretty hard" said
he to his wife; ST guess I'll take a

When he awoke he found that the
boys had dug all the rest of the
potatoes. But they found no coins
