WHAT SINGERS EARNED.

In the good old days of 200 years ago
on 50 singers and actors gave the world
their greatest efforts for what was un-
doubtedly considered excellent remun-

times Of high priced voices and talents
would seem 70 be pitifully small. And
who shall say the performers of the
past were not fully as capable as the
pampered darlings Of the present? The
highest salary paid went to Chasse,
who received 1900 livres, or $500
year, as her fixed salary, 1000 livres

Easter and 200 for bread. wine and

Upon the signing yesterday by Judge
Mayer in the Federal Court of an order
directing that the assets of the Chi

Company should be sold at foreclosure
because Of the default on the com
p'ny's $7l,353. 900 collateral trust

winch James y. Wallace is chairman,
made public its plan for distributing
the stock Of the Chicago, Rock island
& Pacific Railway, held as collateral
for the bonds. to the bondholdcrs.
The plan submitted is based on the
purchase of the pledged stock at fore
closure. and distribution to dcpositing

ditions of the plan. Of stock Of the
operating company Of par value not
less than 100 per cent Of the face value

contemplates borrowing the amount

About $25,O0O,O 600 Of the bonds have
already been deposited, and the COM
mittee emphasizes the statement that
the only way that it can bid and be
sure Of acquiring the pledged stock Of
the railway company is by having de
posted with it practically all the out
standing bonds. The committee say
further:

OPENING THE EXCHANGE
Brokerage Firm Wants Ques-
ton To Be Taken Up at Once.

In a circular sent out yesterday the
banking and brokerage firm Of John IL.
Davis & Co.. of 10 Wall ST., comments
adversely on what it calls the undue
delay in considering and planning the
establishment of organized markets
for American securities. That means
not only the reopening of the New for';
Stock Exchange, but also the reopen!nS
of the money markets TO borrowers
upon shares and bonds and other tokens
of corporate capital" continues the
letter.
For this the New York Stock EX-
change itself is quite ready. With the
same courage and promptness with
which il acted when its closing became
necessary, it since has accomplished the
complete liquidation of vast total OF
untitled contracts. has made great sacrl-
fees to sustain values without permit
ting dealings, and has cleared the Wall
Street situation of its greatest dangers.
But the resumption Of Stock Exchange
trading. even under restrictions, must
wait upon the ability and willingness
of the banks to finance purchases
with such freedom as may be necessary
TO provide approximately normal mar
ket conditions"
The time for opening the exchange IS
not yet here. says the letter. Perhaps
it will come only after decisive Ger
man defeat makes certain the outcome
Of the war and permits the opening of
Londons market: perhaps IT will be
hastened by the development of IAN un-
organized and unrestricted street mar
ket Of such size that it cannot be ig-
nored." In any event, mot only the
desirability, but the necessity, of the
reopening Of the New York Stock Ex-
change at the earliest moment consist
ent with safety should be pressed for
recognitlOn.'
