Bank Employees Do Not Rest.

The bank employees were among the
few for whom New Years day was not
one of rest. The first day is the busi-
est of the month in the banks and be-
cause the New Year is observed with
a general holiday is not an excuse for
the banks to set aside their work. The
banking houses were closed through
out the day, but pens and machines
were busy during the regular hours.

JERSEY BARS "SKIP STOPS"
Cars Must Take Passengers at All
Streets. Utility Board Rules.

Montclair. n. THE state board of
public utility commissioners has direct
eel the Public Service Railway COM
pany To abandon the skip stop method
Of operating ears In this and other
towns on the Bloomfield avenue lines.
The skip stop plan has been In effect
since April 10. when Ii was adopted at
the request OF Verona and other west
ern Essex municipalities and with the
assent OF the governing bodies of the
municipalities through which the line
operates.
In its decision the board expressed
disappointment that In its endeavor to
solve the vexatious question there was
an utter lack of cooperation from the
various municipalities affected. The
board points out that ii is obvious that
frequent stops slow up the operation
OF ears. and where any number of
stops can be eliminated the inevitable
result Is hat the cars can cover their
routes more quickly.

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Nov. 17.-Thursday's
run of cattle at the local market was
of fairly generous volume, estimate
calling for 1900 head, as against L.
SCI a week ago and 2,306 the CORE
spending day a year ago.
Outlet obtained for all grades OF
killers was reported as unaltered, al
though there was not much life to the
market and the declines quoted ear
lier in the week were still effective.
Stock cattle continued to show
more or less u~nevenness. Qualified
kinds held steady, while medium and
common grades were hard TO move
and weaker.
Another big supply of porkers
reached the local market, but de-
mand appeared to expand with the
increase in receipts. Opening sales
of mixed and heavies as we'll as the
attractive lights was judged steady,
but close was reported as weaker.
Tops for the day reached 1855, while
bulk of sales were at a spread of
$40 a. 9.55.
Sheep and lamb trade was held to
yesterdays high level and everything
useful found a ready clearance.
Feature of the trade was the sale of
yearlings at $3.50.
