HORSE MARKET.

Boston, Nov. II.
The larger part of the supplies Of
the week were in secondhand horses
and the market was weak and dull
Prices on all secondhand horses ruled
lower, and for, the blemished horses
in this case there was practically o
market, as values ran under the real
working capacity and worth of the
animal in many sales. Green horses
from the West were received only in
small amounts, and it is doubtful If
all the consignments expected this
week will be received-owing to the
general tie-up in moving livestock or
anything of nature that might spread
farther the foot and mouth disease
dealers have had their carloads Of
horses held back for inspection, al
though horses themselves are con-
sidered in no danger of catching the
disease. but the cars and bedding
must be thoroughly fumigated before
shipment. What green horses came in
sold readily, but although the supply
was small there was not any advance
in values. Most of the business was
to the local trade, and very few whole
sale orders were filled.
The best heavy draft horses sold
within the same general range as
week ago from SS10Q425; medium

which has involved the whole of the
heart of Europe has made it necessary
that the United States should mob
ilize it's resources in the most effective
way possible and make her credit and
her usefulness good for the service of
the whole world 1t has created, too,
special difficulties, peculiar situations
to be dealt with, like the great en-
barrassment in selling our immense
cotton crop, which all the world needs,
but against which, for the time being,
the markets of the world are in dan
ger of being artificially shut. That sit
uation, the bankers of the country are
meeting so far as possible in bust
ness-like fashion and in the spirit OF
the new time which is opening before
u.s. The railroads of the country are
almost as much affected not SO much
because their credit is called in ques-
ton by doubt as to their earning ca
pacity. No doubt, in the light of the
new day, the problems of the railroads
will also be met and dealt with in
spirit of candor and justice.
: For the future is clear and bright
with promise of the best things While
there was agitation and suspicion and
distrust and bitter complaint of
wrong, groups and classes We're at war
with one another, did not see that
their interests were common and ssuf-
fered only when separated and
brought into conflict. Fundamental
wrongs once righted, as they may now
easily and quickly be, all differences
will clear away We are all in the
same boat, though apparently We had
forgotten it. We now know the port
for which we are bound. We shall ad-
vance and advance together with a
new spirit, a new enthusiasm, new
cordially of inspired cooperation. II
is an inspiring prospect. Our task is
to work, not for any single
interest but for all the interests of
the country as united whole.
"The future will be very different
from the past. which we shall pres
emily look back upon, / venture to
say, as if upon a bad dream. The flu
ture will be different in action and
different in spirit, time Of healing,
because a time of just dealing and
co-opera ton between men made equal
before the law in fact as well as in
name. / am speaking of this because
the new banking system seems to me
to symbolic all of it. The opening of
the federal reserve banks seems to me
to be the principal agency we have
created for the emancipation we seek.
/ heartily congratulate you upon the
part you yourself have played in its
and creation, and upon the
successful completion of the difficult
work of organization. A new day has
1awned for the beloved country whose
lasting prosperity and happiness We
so earnestly desire"

PITTSFIELD
William Wheeler Is Arraigned
In Municipal Court on Five
Charges-Is Held for
Higher Court
INTERESTING MEETING OF
PITTSFIELD TUESDAY CLUB

William Wheeler, who was brought
here Monday from Millinocket, was
arraigned before the Pittsfield munic-
ipal court Tuesday forenoon on the fol-
lowing five charges: Two for forgery,
two for obtaining goods under false
pretences and one for breaking and
entering. He was recognized by Hal
yor Prescott, clerk at the Goodwin
clothing store, as being the man who
presented forged check for $2S, sign
ed by Fred Harlow, for which he re-
ceived goods amounting to 50 and bal
ance in cash. He was recognized by
William Bigelow as the one obtaining
merchandise at the local grain store
by giving a forged check for S34 sign
ed by arl Randlett of Hartland. A re-
volver belonging to Herbert Walker
and which. Wheeler left with Fred
Harlow was recognized as the one
which was taken from the Beals-
Walker mill at the time a check book
was also stolen. Probable cause was
found Wheeler pleaded not guilty. He
was required to furnish sureties for
his appearance for $500 in each one
of the five charges amounting to $500.
When found in Millinocket he was

horses, from $1,000 210; light weight
horses, mostly seconds sold from $50
@125.
At the City Sale Stables-At J. c.
Keith's, Stevens. and Sweet Horse
Company trade was very quiet, as the
closing of the Brighton Stock Yards
took away many regular weekly buy
ers. One express carload of green
horses came in and sold readily at
steady values. There was also enter
ed fully 100 head of secondhand
horses, and on these trade was slow
and unsatisfactory.
William Hurwitz sold one carload
of green horses and 100 head of sec
onds. No orders were filled for opt
side. as the difficulty of shipment made
transportation uncertain. so that such
orders were held back. The trade
about the city was backward, and the
horses were only cleaned un by 1nak-
ing prices easy to the customers.
Farther west orders continue for
army horses, but this line of the trade
does not seem to develop into as
heavy orders as was expected a few
weeks ago.
