Republican A, p. Leased wireI

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-New high rec ords In commerce and industry for the month of November, with manufac- turers and traders pressed to the ut most to supply enormous demands are shown in a review of conditions made public here tonight by Pierce Jav chairman of the Federal reserve bank or New York. The report states that the further advance in prices which be- gan three months ago, has developed into widespread and rather specu;a i've movement in commodities and se curities
 Referring to the high cost of living Mir. Jay says:
 me average salaried man finds if burdensome to meet the additional cost or such necessities as food, clothing. footwear and coal Merchants and large buyers of raw materials are uncertain ana anxious about making large impor- tant commitments. Manufacturers of standard goods which sell at standard rates may be obliged to revise estab- lished terms"
 Pointing out that labor IS fully em- ployed at high wages, the review adds:
 Tt is noted that saving is common enough among the foreign element but often remarked that other wOrkmen generally are spending too freely for luXuries and not taking advantage of .an unusual opportunity to lay some thing by for rainy day"
 Comparing statistics of October, 1916, with the same month year ago, it is shown that building in New York City represented Sl1.542.SS0, an increase of S2.150,255. and failures in New York state numbered 153 with liabilities of H,S43.6S1. a decrease of i3S failures and S6,113.510 in liabilities
 With the approach uf winter the la bor situation is expected to be some what easier as certain outside activities will close during cold weather the statement declares.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. l.--The state department is awaiting with quiet con fidence the response of the entente governments to it's presentation of the reasons why Count Tarnowski, the newly appointed Austrian ambassador. and his suit, should be given safe con duct on his mission to the United States Although the department did not make a specific request for such safe conduct. preferring to point out what is regarded as an inalienable right rather than to appear as seeking favor. 1t was felt that the position taken by the British government when 1t sought and secured the release of the confederate commissioners seized by the United States during the civil war. would make it impossible for that gov ernment in particular to attempt to deny the right of neutral state to maintain full and free diplomatic re- rations with a belligerent state.
 It is assumed, however, that Great Britain may base it's acquiesance in this case on a desire to accommodate friendly neutral state without com hitting herself specifically to q rec ognition of the academic right of free movements on the high sea of dplo- matic representatives of belligerent

There is just about one real com plaint existing relative to trout fish
 ing in these parts and that has to do
 with the highness of the water. As general thing, fishermen after the "speckled fellows" have met with excellent luck. It seems to be the prevalent opinion that with the lower ! ing of the waters, say along in early
 May, the results forthcoming will take rank with those of other years
 when the strings were long and the fish big.
 Stafford high school will have no baseball team this year, with the possible exception of the putting to- gether of an aggregation for a game with Rockville high school. The material available for whipping 8 nine into shape is far from promising, which caused the decision of not having team this season. Athletic activities will be directed toward the welding of strong track team as the timber for such team is unusually good. The first meet that the track representatives will participate in will be that of the Stafford Athletic association on Memorial day.

The. annual parish meeting for election of. officers will be held on the evening of the first Thursday in May. A supper and social for the choir will; be given very soon, when an availablei evening can be found. u
 The Easter services at the Congre- gational church drew large congre- gations both morning and evening. The auditorium was attractively deco. rated with palms, Bermuda lilies. white azaleas and spiraea. Rev. L. Rees, taking as subject "The] Spiritual Interpretation of Easter, preached an inspiring and helpful sermon.
