Record for Local
Medical Students

The results of the competitive ex-
aminations for appointments to New
York hospitals has just been an
nounced and the fact that six students
Of the Medical College of Virginia
have successfully passed the exam
nations and have received appoint
ments has attracted more than pass
ing attention in Richmond.
Appointments received by former
students of the local college are: T.
j. Flanagan and F. Finn. to Kings
county hospital; w. N. Mercer and
Joseph Smith, TO Governor hospi-
tai; A. c. Sinton. to Hudson street
hospital. and V. II. Carson. to New
York city hospital
Nearly two hundred graduates OF
the leading medicals chools of the
country were applicants for the po-
sitions. They came from such schools
as Harvard. Pennsylvania and Co
lumbia, and the fact that six stu
dents OF the local school were sue
cessful is regarded as quite a record

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION ASKS
THAT EXTENSION OF SER
VICE STOP.

NEW YORK, March 11.-Members OF
the Merchants association, OF. this city.
are waiting for reply from President
Wilson to the letter sent, asking for
his aid in stopping "unwise extension
of the parcel post" The letter was
written by William A. Marble. presi :
den of the association. 1t Is urged In
the message that the public needs the
services of the express companies,
which now are being harmed by the
postal carriers.
ut is of vital Importance says the
letter which is published In Greater
New York. the bulletin of the associa-
tion TO the business interests of this
country that fully effective means Of
quick transportation be provided and
maintained at rates Of charges as low
as economically practicable. This as
ISOLATION was chiefly instrumental in
securing, through the interstate com
merce commission, a complete recon
struction of the rates. practices and
regulations OF express companies. which
has greatly improved and lessened the
cost OF that form of service. :
'"The association has carefully ana
lyzed the parcel post service rendered
by the postoffice department The
m membership of the association Is COM
posed largely of shippers. and Is. there
fore. thoroughly familiar with the
country's needs in the matter OF quick
transportation and with the various
factors required effectively to render
such transportation service. BY rea-
son of its thorough study Of the subject
and its daily familiarity with the re-
quirements. this association is con-
WINGED that both the parcel post and
the express service are necessary for
the proper performance of the quick
transportation function. and that each
has distinctive field with which it
can operate effectively and economi-
cally for the public welfare"

NEW YORK. March 1l.-Nothing
could more clearly Illustrate the un-
certain position az the security mar
kets at the present time, and the con-
fused state of sentiment, than the
contrast between today-s dealings IN
stocks and the transactions in Tues
days session.
Both at home and abroad there
were indications on Tuesday which
encouraged some mildly optimistic
expectations. huJ those indications
vanished overnight. The Wall street
market today was distinctly heavy in
tone. although closing prices showed
irregular changes The prevailing
{ haractcr of the day was shown by a
number of substantial declines.
Trading was on a somewhat con-
;racfed scale and there was no ap-
pearance Of general pressure. but the
market acted very much as though
such frrnuess as Il had exhibited late
~ had been owing 10 the gradual re-
trarnent of long standing bearish
commitments.
The pronounced feature Of the local
dealings was tho general weakness Of

road securities This began with the
continued fall Of Western Pacific
bonds on the curb, and extended
through the Denver and Rio Grande
issues to the Missouri Pacific. Ameri-
can Sugar Refining common sold
down to the lowest price since the
1907 panic period, and although the
increase of pressure on this stock
lately seems TO have been TO a con-
siderable extent speculative, it was
explained by the rufrfors of bad bust
ness last year confirmed by the an
nua1 report made public around mid
day. This showed that the company s
