HOPPE WINS AGAIN.
Has Little Trouble Beating
 Mayer, 5OO-163.

New York, Nov. 20.-Just prior to the opening of the handicap billiard tournament which is now in progress at the New York theater building Concert hall, Joseph Mayer, the form- CT amateur who has turned profess sional, said that Hoppe would un- doubtedly be eliminated from first honors, and there was an intimation in the statement sent out that Mayer believed he was particularly qualified to aid in bringing about the downfall of the champion. Opportunity beckon- ed Mayer last night, for was his turn to be the opponent of Hoppe. Possibly some of the Philadelphia's confidence had departed with he registering of three defeats against him in earlier games. At any rate, how we'll he succeeded in his ambi- tion of bringing defeat to Hoppe is indicated by the score, which was 500 to 33S in favor of Hoppe, who played from scratch, while Mayors total was added by an allowance of 175. The score of actual points made was thus: Hoppe, 800; Mayer, 16s. In average the champion made just the same as in his second game, 31 As, With Mayer at 10 13-15

ANOTHER BOOM IS
 LOOKED FOR SOON
Brokers Think Quietness of Market
 Only Temporary

As during the past few weeks, the Hartford Stock Exchange continues to remain quiet. In the opinion of Richter & company is it Eut lull in a general bull market and the brokers look for another boom about the first of December. The cause given for the prevailing quietude is that investors have bought heavily all fall and now, having expended most of their money, have frightened up on their purse strings since the war specialties have ceased to soar. With the approach of the January divi- dends, however, another boom is ex- pected. Today North & Judd stock was the only feature of the market. That stock is bid at 1O9 and 11O is asked, although sales have been re- ported at Ill and 112. There is but little speculation. Niles-Bement- Pond is stronger today, being quoted at 190-195. American Brass is 25S- 261. Standard Screw dropped off five points, being listed at 29O-300. Colts remains quiet. It is offered at S6O but there are no Bidders. New Departure stock quotations are 173 176, Union Manufacturing company is SO-S1, Landers is 61-63 and New Brit ain Machine stock is sO-S2. Bristol Brass is unchanged at 70-71. Ameri- can Hardware stock has not changed, the same prices prevailing as yester- day, 126-12S.

MOVIES IN PLACE OF
 RUSSIAN VODKA
Prosperity Reigns in Moscovite Prov inces, But Peasants Find Life Dull in
 Absence of John Barleycorn.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
 Stockholm, Nov. 1O.-Vodkaless Russia is unbelieVably prosperous, even in the midst of war, writes the editor of the Dagens Nyheter after a long trip through the Russian prov inces, but there is still great danger, for the peasant has as yet found noti ing to take the place of the saloon as a center of recreation and amusement. Stories are told of cases of suicide owing to the dullness of life now that the "dear little water" has been put out of reach.
 ''In the towns there has never been so much prosperity as at present." re- marks the editor. "Beggars have dis appeared from the streets and the masses are better fed and better clad than ever before.
 "It is, however, in the villages that the blessings of teetotalism are most apparent. The hundreds Of mllI1ors s formerly spent in the spirit shops now remain in the pockets of the peasants. Millions of working days, formerly wasted in drinking bouts and their after-effects, help to line the p"ckets
 "The net result is that the Russian villages so to say, roll in money. Meat formerly eaten once or twice year is becoming part of the daily fare, and dwellings and farming uten- sils and decent clothes are being pur- chased out of savings by the agricul- tural population.
 "The one danger with the increase l of economic strength is the poSS1blllty 1 of decrease of moral strength. Vod- ! ka filled avoid in the empty and lustre- less life of the peasant He wonders now how he shall spend his free time and his superfluous money.
 ''The teetotalers are alive to this danger, and already, in certain dis tricts of Russia, peoples houses are being provided, equipped with H- braries, tea, lecture and reading rooms and cinematographs
 'All this is to the good, but a big effort is essential in order to raise the intellectual and moral level of the na- ton if Russias teetotal year is to be more than little episode in her his- tory.

LONDON BENEFITS
 BY "NO TREATING"
Restrictive Ordinance Checks Drunk enness in Worlds Metropolis Es-
 peciaIly Among Women.

London, Nov. 14-Oficial police ap- proval is given to the no-treating or dinance in a report from the head quarters of the Metropolitan police on it's workings from October II (when it went into effect) to Novem- Der 1. The police report generally that less drink is being sold, fewer people visit the saloons ,and those who do stay for shorter time than before, and there is less drunken ness, especially among women. Tho served, the police say, in all the 12,0OO licensed places in the London area. The report says, in par:
 There is a consensus of opinion among the superintendents of all di- visions that drunkenness generally, and among women in particular, has decreased.
 "A marked diminution in the num- Der of women and children standing outside public houses drinking has been noticed and in many districts the practice has ceased altogether.
 Police have ivariably found fewer people on licensed premises and tendency to make shorter stays has been observed
 Practically no breaches of order have occurred, and licenses and their servants have shown at all times their Willingness to assist the police."

ginning of the war. This seems like a big sum, but when thinking of war it appears to be necessary to talk in billions instead of millions as form erly. Large as the sums advanced may be our lending abilities have by no means reached their limit, and our foreign obligau uons have been ma tcrially diminished
 Profit Taking Lowers Prices.
 There has been further hesitancy in the upward movement chiefly ow- ing to continued liquidation. The re- cent phenomenal rise was naturally followed by extensive profit taking among early buyers Many of these realizations were made at higher levels than exist today, and new buy CTS were readily in evidences; so the general market still wears healthy aspect, the technical position having been considerably improved by the reduction of a somewhat excessive long interest. Attention has been more or less diverted from the war stocks to railroads and industrials which naturally move more slowly and less spectacularly than the high ly sensitized war group. The invest ment demand continues active; hav- ing absorbed large sums of high grade bonds which are sh owing consider able hardening in values. In two weeks congress will open and public attention will probably be concen- trated upon the solution of such prob lems as preparedness, public revenue, shipping, tariff, etc. Many of the old issues which were of a depressing nature have been completely over- shadowed by the war. The nation is thinking more deeply than at any time since the Civil war. Public opinion is less hostile to capital, fact which removes a depressing jn- fiuence of long standing. The rail- roads it should also be remembered, are carrying big traffic at better rates than formerly, the results for October and November promising to be exceptionally satisfactory.

Bombardment of Gorizia.

Rome, Nov. 19, via Paris, Nov 20 :25 a. m.-The Italian bombardment oE'Austrian positions in and around Gor1zia continues with unabated vigor according to the official statement is- sued today at the headquarters of the Z general staff. The text of the com munication follows:
 All along the front the artillery duel continues. Our guns dispersed enemy marching columns in the Astico zone and in the upper 'Cordevole; it destroyed shelters on Mittagskofel (GaiD; it bombarded barracks at Gorizia, and also swept numerous enemy batteries posted on heights to | the east of the city and others hidden in orchards and gardens near the city.

"On the Carso Plateau our in- farfry renewed it's attacks yesterday with success, especially in the Monte San Michele zone, where the Perugia brigade succeeded in conquering all 1.-the ground which slopes from the fthird summit of the mountain to the kIsonzo between Petsano and Bosh- Pchini. Afterwards driven from that
 
 coryter attacked in its turn and re- conquered the lost trenches. Through Sout the night the enemy renewed furious assaults, succeeding seven times in reaching our lines. He was moved down seven times by the &C., curate fire of our artillery and rifles and was hurled back in disorder with enormous losses. Then, worn out but indomitable, the brave fusilliers of the n29th regiment, their feet swathed in Handbags, burst into the enemy trenches in the darkness, completely dispersing the defenders and taking 175 prisoners besides abundant war material.

FINANCIAL NEWS,
MUCH LIQUIDATION
 MAKES PRICES LOW
Wall Street Sees Ebb in Demand
 for SpeCialtieS

New York, Nov. 20, Wall St., 1o.30 a. m.-The lethargy and lower price trend which marked yesterdays trad ing was continued today, war shares and automobile issues being especially heavy. Almost the sole exception was Mercantile Marine preferred, which recovered a point of its recent decline. Canadian Pacific was a point lower at 182 1-2, with very slight changes in other rails. Tennessee Copper, which ranks as war stock, was down 3-4 at 56. U. s. Steel made a nomi- ral recession on light offerings.
 New York, Nov. 20.-Steady liqut- dation today caused numerous stocks to decline to lowest prices of the week. Dealings were light, and SUD- port was often lacking, especially in war shares, where greatest heaviness was reflected. There were no defin- ite overnight developments to account for the general recessions. Even rails, which recently manifested a stronger tendency, lost ground with the more speculative issues. Some substan- tial recoyeries were made later, Texas Company suddenly advancing 10h to 2O3. The closing was irregular. Bonds were firm.

Who Holds MOnaStir?

London, Nov. 20, 7:s5 a. m.-An Athens despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co.,, filed Friday, says Ser bian troops at Monastir succeeded yesterday, "in advancing to a dis tance of seven kilometres (about 42-3 miles.) The telegram adds tha t the intentions towards Morlastir of the Bulgarians who have occupied Prilep are unknown
 Denys Cochin, minister without portfolio in the French cabinet, has left for Salonk after an interview with King Constantine.
 The reference to the Serb advance at Monastir is rather cryptic. Un- official advices yesterday were that town had been occupied by the Bull gars. The advance may have been made before the town finally was abandoned or it may mean that Mon- astir still is in the possession of the Serbians and that the Bulgars have been repulsed.
