"New fha~en's" Boom

Says the Boston News Bureau: It is little wonder that New Haven shares should respond to the upward move ment i'll railroad issues. It is in some degree a war stock in that its rails serve the arsenals of this country-Bridge- port, Providence, New Haven, Spring. field, Ansonia, Waterbury, Hartford, Torrington, etc. These cities are verit- able beehives of industry. Nothing approaching present day activity was ever before witnessed in these cities. Day and night forces are keeping the wheels humming and it all means freight and lot of it for New Haven.
 While September appears in point of gross 10 have been one of the biggest months in the road $ history-referring of course to steam railroad revenue there is nothing to indicate a let-up and much to indicate a steady expan- sion in freight earnings while the war lasts.
 Many lines of industry, particularly those engaged in war munition manu- facture, are building additions as fast as the bricks and mortar can be put together-all of which means more raw material coming into Southern New England and more finished goods going out.
 A conservative Boston banker says he expects to see New Haven earn per cent. during the fiscal year to June 30 next. He argues that the labor em- ployment in the cities above mentioned is easily 150 per cent. Of normal with all that this means in larger freight and passenger receipts.

Whole Country Will Benefit.

The gigantic foreign war loan, ir the opinion of one downtown banker, will mean period of prosperity for this country. This credit loan, he states, will remain in this country to pay for supplies which will be pur- chased here. It will stimulate all branches of business, he thinks, and prove vertiable boon. Not a penny of the loan will leave the United States. It will stay here and will pay for supplies and manufactured articles "Made in U. s.

Killed Himself.

William Cole, of Danbury, 57 years old, committed suicide early Wednes day morning by shooting himself in his right temple. Dependency caused by worry over financial troubles is said to be the cause. Cole came to Danbury from Newark, N. J., the day before, where he had been living for sometime. A note to his sister, Mrs. Leon Jen- nings. designated how his property should be distributed.

one OF the first signs OF II has been
the rise In the stocks of all companies
obtaining war contracts. This rise has
not been confined to securities listed on
the exchange. for It's most violent mani
festations have shown themselves in un.
listed properties.
The stock OF the Du Pont Powder
Company, which was selling at about
10. has risen to zoo and fallen back
again to about 500, Had this luctuation
taken place upon the floor OF the en-
change and been advertised by the tick .r
the attack upon that institution would
have been intensified. but being consum-
mated unobstrusively it has caused 10
comment.
I'VE are told by one conservative pub
~licatlon that the great volume OF the
transactions recorded Is in Itself a
scandal and that the profits upon which
these violent changes In price are based
have not yet been secured.
The mangitude OF the transactions is
due to the fact that New York Is a great
world market and that the number OF
individucD who are buying and selling
there H. enormous. Speculation Is always
an act OF anticipation. and II profits had
been secured and big dividends estab-
lished investors would take these prop
critics out W the market and speculation
would disappear.

President n. @. s. Noble OF the New

siraint of the movement would not stop

In civil val times. ne said. and the re-
fusal of the Stock Exchange at that
