THE BLIGHT OF DEMOCRACY.

IL has been conceded that one OF
the truest and most sensitive baron
eters of tine business conditions OF The
country is the iron and steel trade.
In its activity and full employment IL
reflects the prosperous situation of
the land. and its payroll mirrors the
happiness and contentment OF labor.
In the sixteen years OF Republican
protection this country rose from third

and became speculative. Il was a

Crowds again clamored today fin front Of the offices of the Grand Rapids Furniture & Supply Corpora uons coming from all sections of the county to demand what they believe to be their rights. The prosecuting attorneys office and the police de- partment were also flooded with com plaints. who in most cases were given demanding that the company carry out their obligations to the letter
 In addition to the troubles of the Furniture company. added difficulties were encountered through the taking over Of the furniture company. of the Connecticut Cloak & Suit Company. formerly in the Connecticut National Bank building. This company recent ly closed it's doors without making any notification that the business would be closed up by the Furniture company,
 Many complaints were heard from stout women who declared that the company refused to secure suits to it them but attempted to make them take material
 Following the forcible taking of a table from the company's offices last night by two irate ustomers. the company secured severe set back when the police refused to arrest the parties and the prosecuting attorney stated that he would not issue a war rant under the conditions. The table taken to the Blue Ribbon garage across the street is still in dispute for possession.

NEW YORK EXPERT REVIEWS SITUATION .lN FINANCIAL WORLD
Directors of ''Pennsy" Prob ably Will Declare Usual Di- Vidend Next Week-Two Billions of War Loans Have Been Made Thus Far.

CThe Barron Financial News Service)
 New york, Oct. 22.--Dtrectors Of the Pennsylvania railroad will probably act on the dividend on October 2S It is not believed that there will be any change in the rate, as it has been fully earned. In August there was an in crease in net earnings compared with lest year, owing to a drastic out in expenditures; and it is safe to say that the result will be the same in the following fall and winter months. bar, ring adverse weather conditions. The number of shareholders that will par tictpate in the November dividend will be the largest in the history of the company. On September 30 the total u41mber of shareholders was 90975, OF 617 more than participated in the Au- gust ddvtdend Of the total, 43sT52 were women This is an increase of 166 over the number on the books three nonths ago.
 There have been close to $2,oe0, ,Ooo 900 Of war loans SO far completed of which Gsernany has made over half Probably some small loans haive been placed as a direct result of the war
 which have not foa1md a place in the news despatches because of the press of actual war news. In addition to loans already placed, nearly &3o0. oSo, 600 more have been authorized. or are re- poz-ted to be contemplated
 Returns for August Of fifty repre- seraaAtve ratfroads operating approxi- mateIy 16e,eoo miles in all sections of the country show aL decrease dn gross earnings of 3.10 per cent, while net earnings increased S.20 per cent This compares with 8, decrease in gross of 2.T3 per cent, and a. decrease in net of 0.e1 per cent. for July. Operating ra- tio exclusive of taxes, but including net results Of outside operations, was 68. .96 per cent, as against 6e .l2N Der cent in August, 1913
 Reduction in express rates ordered by the Interstate Commerce Conlmis- sion had only been in effect when the 1914 fiscal year Of a. majority of the railroads closed on June 80, yet the difference this is making to the roads is being shown in many annual re- ports Southern Railway reports a falling off of s1O5, 455, or 5-25 per cent, in 1914 earnings from handling ex- press matter. Missouri Pacific's rev enues from this source declined $s4, ,e11, or 8s per cent. Other roads to show substantial losses in revenue from handling express matter were the Erie, Frisco System, Louisville & Nashville, Soc Line and Kansas City Southern.
 The Consolidated Gas Co has made arrangements to pay at maturity in cash the $5, O00, GOO notes which fall due October %. A similar payment was made when s, ,0O0, 900 short time notes fell due August %. To partially reim- purse the treasury for cash paid out in retirement of the $10, DOC, 900 notes, the company has arranged a. new eight months s per cent. note issue, comprising, it isz understood, about 75 per cent. of tle notes retired.

FORSYTH DANCES DREW WE'LL ON
 OPENING NIGHT

The dance and pleasure loving part of Bridgeport who attended the open ing of the Forsyth Broadway dances at the Casino last night were treat ed with an agreeable surprise in the form of entertainment which was of fered. Over one thousand patrons wit messed one of the cleverest eShibf- tions of skill and theatrical endeavor offered in the city for many months, coInhne5 exclusively to vocal and dancing effort.
 The big hall with it's blue and gold decoration was specially lighted, and the center had been whitely polished for the oocas sion while reserved sec ttons and tables were scattered about the sides, of the hall. Speide1s or chestra played both for the dances and the professional performers brought from New York.
 Six acts were offered during the intern1fssions including two famed throughout the country and which de- serve the highest mention for their work was exceptional. Miss Rositta Manti1la, assisted by MT. Lloyd in ex- hibitions of the Love Waltz and Fox Trot were perfect examples of grace. unity and classic suggestion. It was the work of artists pre- eminent in the dancing world and places them first among the dancing-class in which they appear.

Their effort should hot be confined to the ballroom but upon the stage would emphfy the modern dances as they should be danced under decorous cir cumstances
 Lox & Fargo in exhibitions of the Waltz Artfstique and Lu Lu FHado pleased, Miss Leland, in songs, was encored to the finish while Jimmie Parker in a co1ored impersonation Of a, midget dancer scored in hard shoe dancing. The Two B's (Burt and Budd) completed the evenings enter tainment with a combination of song and dance that was highly apreclat- ed by g. warm audience
 Among those from other cities seen arnong the mana gernen4 of the occa- sion were Frank Forsyth, head of the Metropolitan Booking Co.,, New York, Herman Phillips, general business manager and formerly assistant to Martin Beck, head of the Orpheum circuit of theaters, Howard Wright, New EngfaI1d representative of the company and Frank J. Bangs of New York
 With such careful supervision of dances, l excellent orchestrafion and performers the Forsyth Broadway dances cannot fail but draw well in this city among a class which have not heretofore generally attended pub hc dances.
