RATES in
MANY TRADES
DECLINE

Great uncertainty prevails in the
ocean freight arsi charter markets
and 1t is the opinion OF some shining
interests that the reaction from the
highest levels has set in, says the
New York Journal of Commerce. DE.
clines in rates are reported in practi-
cally all trades. with the number OF
charters closed restricted by the posi-.
bility of a continued slump. In sew.
eral cases, 1t is said, ships have had
to seek cargo, with the result that
rates oouted are very irregular. In
some instances this has been attribut-
ed to the freight congestion on the
railroads. which still maintain strict
embargoes on export freight.
Just what the cause is or what fu-
ture developments will be it is impoe-
sible at the present time to say, but
certainly the declines have been great
er than would be warranted merely
by the seasonal falling off in demand
for space. Last year during the nor
mally dull months there was no such
reaction as this.
The greatest reduction has occur
red In rates to the United Kingdom,
due to. the control over shipping eU
ercised by the British government,
The last rate definitely reported on
grain TO the United Kingdom was t2s,
but offers at IS are now in the mar
ket with no takers, one interest stated.
The regulation of the British gov
eminent providing that any ship TAX.
ing on bunker coal at a British port
must guarantee to return with cargo
to Great Britain is said to have re-
stricted the number Of vessels in this
trade.
Similar declines have been noted
in rates to the French Atlantic, al
though not in the same proportion. To
the Far East the softening of rates is
explained as result of there being a
greater amount Of tonnage engaged
in trade from the West Coast, while
less cargo is available here. The de-
mand for case oil has fallen off sharp
iy from this quarter and the rate has
been cut materially. Another cause
operating to create an easier tendency
on the Far East route is that ships
chartered for voyages to Vladivostok,
depending largely upon continued
heavy shipments Of government cargo
to that port, have found these orders
cnrtailed.
"A leading factor in the decline.
shipping interests said, is that high
prices and freights have greatly cur
tailed purchases here. The probabil.
ity that the war will end within a
year, which is the Interpretation plac-
ed upon recent occurrences and state
ments, has also had an effect along
these lines. 1t was asserted. The r.
regularity Of the situation is seen in
the fact that trade interests today
take opposing views and do not agree
as to existing conditions"

Tho Pagan Halloween.

No small number of people are so
1nsufficiently informed as to suppose
that Halloween or All Hallow's is a
calendar festival Of the church. The
truth, as one should refer from the
fantastic pranks and festivities that
accompany it, is that it is not feast
at all, but is supposed to have had
It's origin in paganism. Certainly
there is nothing in the church observ-
ance Of the ensuing day Of All Saints
as to have originated such extraordin-
airy notions as are connected with the
festival or such remarkable practices
as those by which it is usually distin-
guished even in America, which has
supposedly shaken off most of the
unworthy traditions OF mother coun-
tries and fatherlands. Some of the
old world ceremonies of Halloween
are Of light and sportive character.
but unfortunately few of these have
crossed the Atlantic, and in their
places we have instituted some others
that are of the species of humor called
'the practical joke" An idea formerly
entertained respecting Halloween
was that it was of all others the time
when supernatural influences prevail;
that it was the night when spirits
walk abroad, when the immaterial
principle in humanity, spirit, separates
itself from it's fleshly tenement and
wanders abroad through the realms
of space. and woe betide the spirit
which after it's wanderings, fails to
find its earthly casket or belated by
day light returns to find 1t with an
other occupant and is doomed to wan.
der about for another twelve months
until it can take advantage OF some
other absentee and slip into the un.
occupied tenement before the return
of it's owner. In Scotland popular
belief ascribes to children born on
Halloween the possession of the
mysterious faculty of seeing (second
sfght), and holding converse with SUI
pernatural beings. Among the emf
nent men who believed that certain
persons possessed the gift was Rob-
ert Dale Owen, who wrote FOOTBALLS
On the Boundaries OF Another World"
