CBURCESS'S WORD NOVELTIES

Not satisfied with having added sev-
eral words and phrases to tho slang
OF the day. not to speak Of tho color
vision that brought him fame Gelett
Burgess now undertakes to enrich the
English language systematically by
placing before the public IN lcxicograph-
ical form, under the title Burgess I'm
abridged (Frederick A. Stokes Com
pany). a hundred new words to express
shades OF meaning that have occurred
to his mind. In a few cases they eug-
gest a derivation from words already
in existence or other sources familiar
to philoloeists; In much the larger
number they are now and arbitrary
creations like those OF Ro or Of chill
dren In the nursery. Many are ex-
pressive enough to deserve being
adopted, but whether any will survive
the perusal OF the little volume or not
Is n matter OF chance, as the author
knows.
The introduction is not only bright
and entertaining but betrays a broader
knowledge OF the serious facts about
language than tho author would caro-
to be suspected OF having. Each word
Is defined with absolute clearness, while
the accompanying explanations and
illustrations. with all their fun and nom
sense. make It impossible for the reader
to mistake what the author means
That meaning Is driven home In the
verses In which the word is used For
instance, ioblnk is defined as IAN un-
placeable resemblance, an uncertain
similarity. an Inaccessible memory"

was unlawful
The claim of each side that the
other was guilty of conspiracy was
not allowed. The judges held that
there was no unlawful conspiracy on
the part either of the union workers
or of the hotel and restaurant keep
ers in organizing and doing what they
could to strengthen their organiza
tons.
The Judges also refuses to enjoin
the unions from publishing or print
ing printed matter of any kind calling
attention to the fact that the bust
ness of Henrici's restaurant is not or
ganized, that a strike is on or that it
is unfair to labor.
That means that the unions have
a right to make these facts known by
publishing them, if they can find
some way to get them distributed.
The judges held that the use of
such expressions as Strike on at
Henrici's," Don't eat under police
protection" tended to intimidate, and
therefore was not peaceable argu-
ment or peaceable persuasion.
Some stress wa slaid on the evil
dence by one or two merchants on
the street that crowds gathered. The
judges said the evidence tends to
show that because of the crowds of
people assembled in Randolph street
the business of other persons in the
immediate vicinity was injured.
Yet there was evidence that the
only time the crowds gathered was
when the police made an arrest.
The language of the opinion is
vague. In enjoining picketing it
says:

ing and enjoining the defendants, and
each and every of them, from unlaw-
fully hindering, obstructing or inter-
fering with the business of the Philip

What the herein Defined means
might puzzle the wits of Philadel-
phia lawyer and it may take expert
legal analysis to get at the exact
meaning of the law laid down in the
opinion.
First, the lawyers learnedly submit
ted the law and evidence to the
judges; then the judges considered it
learnedly and rendered an opinion as
to what the law means; now the law
yers will carefully null over the
whole mess and try to figure out what
the opinion means
After that the public can take a
guess on it's own account.
If the mattresses can figure out just
what is meant by as herein Defined"
possibly they can peacefully picket
In this opinion whether they vio-
lated the law doesn't appear to be a
matter of law so much as matter of
fact. The law as quoted in the many
pages of authorities upholds the
right to peacefully picket; and these
judges found that the pickets at Hen
rici's used no violence, except that
the remarks the girls made as they
walked along Randolph street tend
ed to intimidate those addressed"
The right to boycott is apparently
upheld. Also the right to peacefully
picket. Also the right of both sides to
organize.
And the pickets can go on picket
ing in front of Henrici's if their law
yer can tell them just how to do it
lawfully.
Members of the mattresses and
bakers unions were indignant oyer
the ruling of the judges and were
quite open in their remarks concern
ing what they termed "a miserably
moor effort at iudicial Straddlinq"

WHOLESALE TRADE
 HOLDING UP WELL Prices Are Stationary ani Demand Brisk-Few
 Changes Noted

Business on Morris avenue continues to hold up well but prices are station aty. The demand is quite brisk. the sup plies are good and the merchants ap- rarently satisfied. In the fish market is found the only discordant note. Fish are scarce. They have been scarce for almost two weeks, but now that open weather is promised 1t Is expected that shipments will begin to come Yin. Prices remain stationary.
 In the poultry and egg market yester- cay there was no change. The demand continues to hold up well. but the sup plies are also holding up about two laps ahead of the demand. For this reason tlie price Is weak and a further reduc- tion before the end of the present week would occasion no surprise.
 Produce dealers are optimistic and ex- pect to receive shipments of green stuffs from Florida within the next week There is. a good demand in this market and prices are stationary.

ADVANCE IN PRICES
 0F GRAIN STOPPED
Reports That New Corn
 From Argentine in Gal weston Disputed

Chicago. March 24.-The advance in prices for grain was stopped today by reports that new corn from Argentine was already at the wTarves in Gal weston. These reports were later dis puted.
 After reaching a new high level for 1914, the corn market closed nervous at the same as last night to 14c down. The outcome in wheat and oats CO., incided both unchanged to ismlc off In provisions there was a net decline of 21s @10c.
 Before word came that some of the new Argentine was actually almost at the doors of hard pressed consumers in Texas and northward to Nebraska and Missouri, many bull spectators seemed determined to lift the corn in a way that would be long remembered. The ef- fort, however. made a' tempting offer for other holders to unload and to realize profits This was done in whole sale fashion. and when the Galveston reports became current number of belated longs found themselves sacri- feed on stop-loss orders, the action of which had previously appeared a re- mote chance.
 Fear was expressed by one authority that Argentine corn had been over bought for Galveston. It was said that q single concern had purchased S00.000 bushels to arrive there and that other firms had booked similar amounts. On the other hand, primary receipts today throughout the United States were only 4s,oo0 bushels as against 4,422,0o0 on the corresponding date last year. Dry weather advices from Kansas and also from Minnesota and North Dakota helped it upward, while corn was ad- vancing, but the big spill in the courser grain, wheat quickly receded. There was no export demand and the mills were not buyers.
 Oats merely initiated the behavior of corn. Shipping call was light.
 It was a tame market in provisions. Moderate selling by packers near the end of the day brought on the final downturn.
 Future quotations were as follows:

MARKET UP 4PO|NTS ID 4 POINTS LOWER
Realizing Causes Moderate Reaction in the Late
 Trading

New York, March 24.-There was re- newed demand from old crop shorts in cotton today and May contracts sold back to about the high point of yes terday. Realizing caused moderate re- actions iii the late trading, however, with the close steady. net points high CT to points lower
 New crcp positions were relatively quiet and easy during the entire day, although reports from Dallas stated southwestern crop preparations were delayed and that much of the seed was turning out unfavorable for planting. Liverpool and local shorts were consid- cred the best buyers of May and July contracts, particularly of May and that position led advances, selling about 32 points over July at one time. Reports Of a good demand for rejectlons in tho local stock were circulating and prob ably helpe1 the advance in connection with reports of a better trade in Man. chester, and the relatively steady rul- ing of the Liverpool market.
 The mariSet opened steady at un- changed prices tc an advance of 3 poihis III Itspo1St lo tIe cdDltS. f1uC- tuations were some what irregular right after tho cali ano there seemed to be quite good deal of realizing around 1a.25e for May. This selling came chief ly through wire houses, with southern and western connections, but was grad ually absorbed by old crop shorts, who also took local offerings for reaction. which were chiefly for July delivery.
 Early sellers probably anticipated the demand for old crops would taper off rapidly after the close of Liverpool but some of the most active early May buyers continued to buy late in the forenoon and the continuance of this demand started covering ;by local shorts. Old crop months sold to 10 points net higher in consequence but the new crop failed to follow the ad- vance and the general list reacted some to points from the best in the late trading. Demand from May shorts was less active toward the close, while there were increased offerings attributed to Wall street longs.

SMALL GAINS MADE AT OUTSET IN STOCKS
Demand Falls Off, Market Possessing None of Vigor
 of Preceding Session

New York, March 24.--The demand for stocks fell off today. and the market possessed none of the vigor of the pre- ceding session. Various obscure stocks fluctuated widely, but among the stand ard shares variations were Insignificant.
 Small gains were made at the outset. London. which was more cheerful over the latest aspects of the Ulster crisis, came into this market as buyer, and took away about 10000 shares. This buy ing served to hold up the list for a time, but traders took advantage of the rise to take profits on long stock. The mani fest curtailment of buying encourage the shorts, and the market lost it's opening advantage. But little was accomplished other than to check the upturn The uii- dertone was too strong to permit of ex- tensive bear selling. During the latter part of the day the market was dull and lifeless.
 Weakness again developed among some of the specialties. Rumely issues resumed their decline, making new low records at g points for the common and 25ssc for the preferred. Active liquidation of corn products shares was caused by the re- mark of President Bedford at the annual meeting of the company that if the cor porat ation were dissolved as result of the governments suit the common stock would not be worth cent ana that the value of the preferred would be doubt ful. Corn products preferred slumped over points and the common about half as much

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 4.--(Specia1) 1)--In spite or advance trade reports from Manchester, the near deliveries here and In Liverpool are maintained on a high level as compared with the new crop. To some extent this Is due to the covering of n short interest. but in n large sense it must be due to a small CT supply of cotton at the mills. be- cause spinners are looking for lower prices in the new crop
 Today we see again a demand for the early deliveries, which causes them to close higher and the new crop lower We believe a very large portion Of the May shorts have covered but there seems to be more of the arbitrage trans- actions still open.
