CALLS RELATIVES
 BOLD, BAD YEGGS
Hartford Man Says Brother and Sister in-laW Held Him Up at
 Gun Point.

Pockets bulging with a roll of $30S, pay received for work in brick yard, John TorzkO of 145 Windsor street, Hartford, came all the way to New Britain yesterday in a search for ex- citement and san outing. He got both, according to his complaint to the police last night, and agreed that it was some outing and plenty of excite ment. According to his report to the police, he was held up by his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. David Torzko, in their home at 36 Grove street at the point of a brace of re- volvers and relieved of $15. This, ac- cording to police investigation, would have been after he had enjoyed some outing among New Britain saloons, made numerous patrons realize that there is real money in the world and tried to show them that he really had it by placing the bills in various de- signs on the top of several bars. The end of his "perfect day. was passed in 9 cell al police headquarters where he was placed for the safe keeping of himself and his "roll"
 The alleged robbery was reported to Policeman w. P McCue. With Po- licemen Gustave Hellberg and Michael Massey he visited the brothers house. No trace of revolvers could be found and nothing to indicate' that the al legged robbery had taken place. John insisted that, after he had been in the house for a time earlier in the even ing, his brother drew a revOlver, handed another one to his wife and then they proceeded to relieve him of the S15. The police are inclined to believe that John saw things that were not or that the liquor caused mem ories of long forgotten Jesse James adven- lures to appear.
 John had a rather hay remem- brance of his adventure this morning when he was allowed his freedom without court arraignment. With his roll of $295, all he had when he was searched at headquarters, he departed. AS he went, he said that he intended to continue his outing today but in sisted that it would be in familiar Hartford haunts. He predicted that there would be some decreased roll before he got through. Police off, cials agreed with him that there $ likely to be a considerable decrease in his "roll'', if he follows out his ex- pressed intentions

LOCAL MARKET IS SHOWING REACTIONS
Is First Big Setback Since War
 Was Declared

The local market during the past action since the war started, and be- fore going any further we wish to state that we believe that any selling of war stocks at the present level is unWise The big reactions in some of the speculative war stocks have been caused by timid holders sacrificing in an unreasOning desire to have nothing at stake. Our local stocks, which are not of the sO-called war stocks have had practically no reaction American Hardware, North S, Judd. Stanley Rule & Level, New Britain Machine and Union Manufa curing Company are all quoted at practically the same prices of ten days ago. Amer ican Hardware is quoted 137 to 139, North & Judd 94 to 97, and there are rumors on the street to the effect that some sort of a cash dividend will be Level is quoted 40 to AGO. New Bri- tain Machine is quoted 1O5 to no. Union Manufacturing Company is quoted 122 bid, 125 asked, and an ex- tra dividend in January is also ex-
 
 was paid, and as they have had a very prosperous year it is expected that the same will be paid. Stanley Works has had a decline and is quoted 1O4 to 108 Landers, Frary & Clark has dropped and is quoted "A bid, 7s asked. Bristol Brass is quoted 73 to 76 which is also a decline The stock we consider a very good purchase at the present time, Traut & Hine is quoted 60 bid, 70 asked. There have been several sales of Fafnir Bearing g Company stock ranging in price from 150 to 1853.
 There have been declines in some of the more speculative war stocks, par ticularly Standard Screw and Scovill The declines have been severe and rapid, and this reaction should cer- tainly be taken advantage of, we be- ieve. Sales of Standard Screw today have been less than 800, which is a decline of over 100 points in less than a month. ScoVill Manufacturing 2 company has declined to TAO, which is also a decline of more than 100 points In our opinion both of these stocks are a good buy today, and even though the war should come to a termination in the near future, we believe an in VestOr would lose no money on these stocks, even though bought at recent high prices. The directors of the Standard Screw company meet in Q few days to declare the January divi- dend. On October 1 twenty per cent was paid and it is expected considers ably more than this will be paid ir January.
 Scovill Manufacturing company has declared it's regular per cent. fOl January, together With the monthly extra of 10 per cent and in addition to this a 25 per cent extra dividend payable in Anglo French per cent bonds. These bonds are selling in the neighborhood of 93. If the bonds arc sold the total cash received amounts to approximately 35 per cent.

Niles Bement-Pon has had a decline from 230 to 180, the market closing 1SO bid, 190 asked. Both of these stocks we believe are selling below their intrinsic value.
 The reaction has been severe in speculative stocks. It is hardly noticed in the local stocks. We ex- pect an advance in the near future.

 QUICKLY WIPED OUT
Selling and Receipt Of German
 Note Sends Market Down

Wall Street-F'urther gains were made at today's opening of the stock market, the movement, however, run ming more to specialties than to such representative issues as figured in the rally of yesterday Central Leather, American Zinc, Chino Copper and Colorado Fuel, advanced a point or more, with fractional improvement in leading equipments petroleums, Unit ed States and allied industrials. Mod crate offerings soon wiped out most of this advantage, with heaviness in In dustrial Alcohol, Lackawanna and Crucible Steel, motors and accessOr- es. Rails also yielded to increasing pressure.
 The reaction attained substantial l proportions in the war group, being accelerated by news that Washington was in receipt of Germany's peace proposal. Losses ranged from two to seven points, industrial alcohol mak- ing the extreme decline, with two to three in prominent equipments, muni- tions motors, marines and United States Steel
 Closing-Feeble rallies in the la ter dealings were soon swept aside, many new records being made among specialties. The closing was demor- alized. Total sales were estimated at 2,3OO,O0O shares.
