advent of a woman jury and a case
is set for next month which will be
tried before a mixed jury for the
first time in the history of the coun-

the remodeling of the library for a
jury room for the women. who must
be over 81 and unmarried in order to
be eligible to serve. The law states
that the jury must be kept together
during a trial. but the authorities
are of the opinion that the rule is
liable to be somewhat amended.

Bankers Were Serene.

Bankers Were Serene.
 Officers and employees of all the big banks which loan heavily on Stock Exchange collateral were serene. They had money to put out in abundance at A per cent. on call loans and there was no greater discrimination on col lateral than on any other day of the declining movement. !. r If there was any change it was in the direction of loaning more closely ups to market prices, for as stocks go down the per centage of margin between loan value and, market value decreases. The banks greatly curtailed the amount lent on Stock Exchange collateral ac-

cording1y without calling of loans. ,


 The reduction of bank loans was ac- conpanied naturally by a reduction in loans of brokerage houses. One of the big wire houses cut down it's ob- legations to the banks by more than $2,O00.O0O. Lower market prices did not require so much money for the op- eration of the Stock Exchange ma- chinery. x @
 The March and May cotton options, which are the most speculative posi- tions in cotton just now, declined about S5 a bale. Speculators in both < stocks and cotton sold some of their cotton to protect their positions in stocks and vice versa. The net re- suit was a reduction of bank, loans on stocks and cotton both.
 ]. Financiers' Views on War.
 As to the result of the peace pro- posals there was no unanimity in banking opinion. Some bankers high in the Morgan group took Lloyd Georges speech as their text and in sisted that the war must be fought to a finish. as was the Civil War. Other bankers in the same group were of the contrary opinion, holding that peace or an armistice at least would come before the winter was over
 Other bankers, including represen- tatives of some of the most promi nent international houses, adhered to the belief that practically all of the belligerents were tired of war and that President Wilson, Secretary Lansing's reported remarks to the contrary notwithstanding, must have

 making public his request for peace terms.
 There was no such variety of opin- ion among bankers regarding the course of the stock market. That some of the war stocks might decline considerably more was of course ad-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-12-22

mitted by all, but the general belief was that the decline had pretty well run it's course for the time being at least. ! It was reported after the market closed that bankers were to hold meeting and arrange plans for support of the market today.~ Bank CTS high in the Clearing House said there was no foundation for the re- port, and added that there was not the slightest excuse for bankers conference.
 In the brokerage offices clerks were working early this morning in preparation of accounts for the Stock Exchange clearing house. The clearing house force was prepared to work all night. Thousands of men with stocks on thin margins, who had fingered for the last bit of finan- cia1 news as long as the customers rooms were open, thought bitterly of the morrow.\

A"safe and Sane Panic.''
 If there was any panic at all it was we'll characterized by a prominent banker as "safe and sane panic" ," There was excitement in the broker age offices in the fpancial district, ana in the uptown branches, a;nd -undoubt edly there was excitement, and cons fusion of. mind and such stampede to- sell as mark as panic ias interior brok-Ss craze houses as we'll. But there was no panic or fright among the members of. Stock Exchange houses or in the banks: <.
 Brokers had their accounts with. customers we'll protected, having talk en ample warning from the experience of previous big dips in stocks since; the war began. EvenHthe big wire houses, which have. most difficulty in communicating with their custom CTS, had their affairs in such good or-s der that there was not the slightest commotion in the money crowd ion the Stock Exchanged, or any urgency to secure accommodation from banks,
 Panic fear for the most part was possessed only by speculators who had made great profits in the war stocks and who dreaded that what the market had given. them the market might take away.
 Profteers Hit Hard.
 The great majority of them who sold, according to heads of half a, dozen big commission houses, were men who were not. forced ,oue of the market, but who. wanted to keep part of the profits they had gained from previous speculation. There were, of course, thousands of customers who had parlayed their accounts and were unable to put tip sthe required mar gins as stocks went down, but there was nothing at all in the sacrifice of fpaper profits or inathet dismissal of a. small. army of speculators to affect the business, brokerage or banking position.
 A readjustrnent of market prices to peace conditions, whether pending neL gotiations end in peace before spring or whether they collapse utterly, was inevitable according to bankers who have followed the trend of war con- tracts, who have noted the disappoint- ment of hundreds of manufacturing companies which have taken such contracts and who know that only the
  ceive such contracts even if the war lasts ten years or more. None of these bankers has for weeks seen anything in the future except shifting of the securities of many war companies from a war to a peace basis. Prices Above Last Years Low. l In the course of this readjustment, lit was pointed out, many industrial stocks have gone down far 1nOm their high prices, but, without exception, these stocks still rule far above the low prices of last year, before the in l tense speculation of war stocks began. Just how number of these stocks tsand with comparisons of low prices last year, high prices since January 1 1, 1915, losses from those high prices and gains from the low of 1915 by comparison with yesterdays close is shown in the. following table:

Length, about nine and one-halt
inches.
Range: Breeds in Mexico and North
America south of the barren grounds,
winters in southern half of United
States and south to Costa RIGA.
Habits and economic status: The
prairies of the upper Mississippi val
ley, with their numerous sloughs and
ponds, furnish ideal nesting places for
redwings, and consequently this re-
gion has become the great breeding
ground for the species. These prairies
pour forth the vast flocks that play
havoc with grain fields. East Of the
Appalachian range, marshes on the
shores of lakes, rivers, and estuaries
are the only available breeding sites
and, as these are comparatively few
and small, the species is much less
abundant than in. the West. Red.
wings are eminently gregarious, liv-
ing in fiocks and breeding in COM
munities. The food of the redwing
consists Of 81 per cent animal matter
and 70 per cent vegetable. Insects con-
stitute practically on~e-fourth of the
food. Beetles largely weevils, a
most harmful group amount to IL
per cent. Grasshoppers are eaten in
every month and amount to about B
per cent. Caterpillars (among them
the injurious army worm) are eaten
at all seasons and aggregate 6 per
cent. Ants, wasps, bugs, flies, dragon
flies, and spiders also are eaten. The
