Look for Narrow Market.

The following analysis OF the New York
market situation was received late yes
terday afternoon by W. p. Hibbs & Co.
from New York correspondent:
THE absence of any startling news or
other developments in the foreign situa-
tion from the close Of business on Satur-
day caused a continuation from the COW
ering movement among the shorts from
the opening of business today, which
started Saturday morning. With not much
further local selling, pressure from either
the bear element or in the way of fresh
liquidation and little new outside selling,
prices developed in advancing tendency
throughout the general list on these more
favorable general trading conditions. But
after prices had been carried up l to 2
points on the average for the general rail-
road list and the more active industrial
stocks, the recovery in prices was checked
with the demand from the shorts run
ming out and little new further buying
from outside sources coming in. The to-
tai transactions up to l o'clock for the
general list were only 213.0O shares. This
very small volume of business in the main
reflected the narrow and professional
character Of the market. Trading during
the balance of the day was even duller
than during the forenoon. Sentiment is
very unsettled over the continued great
uncertainty of the general foreign situa-
ton and particularly as regards the out
come OF present tense relations with Ger
many over the submarine question. In
usually the best informed quarters the
opinion prevails we are now IN a drifting
position, and that as a consequence moth
ing better than a narrow irregular trad
ers' market of a very narrow character
is to be looked for"

AN EVIDENCE OF WEAKNESS.

The most vigorous stand which the
dislodged from the village of Poelca-
pelle during Haig's latest drive, was
from a position in a brewery. With
machine guns they made a desperate
defence, but they were compelled to
withdraw. This, more than any ru-
more of revolt in the army or navy,
impresses us with the truth of the re-
ported slackening in German morale.
When a bunch of Germans can be
driven out of a brewery they must be,
indeed, in sore straits.

"ANTHONY IN WONDERLAND"
COMING TO APOLLO MONDAY

Henry Miller will appear at the
Apollo Theatre on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday next, in Anthony in
Wonderland" a whimsical comedy by
the Irish author. Monckton Hoffe,
which was played at the Prince of
Wales Theatre in London last season
with Charles Hawtrey in the leading
role. Mr.. Miller presented it for a
short time during his stock season
in San Francisco last summer.
There is nothing profound" runs
the announcement, "about Anthony in
Wonderland but there is much that
is distinctly novel. MI. Miller is seen
as Anthony Silvertree, a rather set
tied sort of bachelor, whose relatives
are bound to marry him off that he
may inherit a large fortune. The
trouble is he has never met the right
girl. He has seer her in the paint
ings of Romney and Reynolds, and
even in the -curly-haired heroines OF
the movies, but never in real life.
How he finally does meet her, Incl
dentally, through the aid of the movies
is told in the course of a fantastical
and out of the beaten track play"
In Mr.. Miller's supporting company
are Joseph Kilgour, Florence Shirley,
John L. Shine, Marguerite st. John,
George Riddell, Hilda Darlington, Har-
ry Mckee, Will H. Gregory, E. L.
Duane, Clay Clement, Gordon Morris,

WINTER INACTIVITY NEAR.

Snow has fallen in Northern Maine;
and snow is daily expected in Nor
thern France, which is substantially
in the same latitude. Before winter
quarters are necessary, the Allied
commanders seek to establish them
selves upon lines whence they can
come down upon the Boche with the
melting SHOWS of springtime. And
when that time comes the sweeping
tide of Allied success will have swol-
len to victorious proportions by the
American contingent.

NEW LEAGUE WITH
LARGE INFLUENCE.

The Presidents published CORE
spondence with Cardinal Gibbons and
the activity of His Eminence in the
formation of the League for National
Unity have given to that organization
an initial impetus which will carry it
far. 1t is not to be doubted that the
venerable churchman speaks for a
wide clientele whose helpful activities
in war work have already demonstrate
ed, not only in the practical and ethi-
cal move of the Knights of Columbus
to provide club houses for their broth
ers in cantonment, but in many other
ways.

NEWSPAPERS HARD HIT.

There is no one business that has
been hit as hard by the wal condi-
tons as the newspapers. Every item
that enters into the publication of a
paper has increased from SO to 200 per
cent, while subscription prices, espe-
cially in the weekly newspapers, has
not been increased nearly a like am
cunt, and the advertising rates, some
of which are fixed by law, have not
been increased. The publisher, there
fore, has been forced to bear the
brunt of the increased costs, while
persons engaged in other lines of bust
ness have merely passed the increase
along to their customers. making just
as great a profit as ever before.
The Cape May Court House Ca
zette, formerly one of the most pros
porous of the newspapers in Cape May
County, has evidently felt the pinch of
wartime prices, for under date of Oc-
tober l, Editor Cooper makes the fol-
lowing announcement:
After conducting the Gazette at
a dead loss for the past nine
months loss so serious as to
threaten the very existence of the
paper, the publisher has very re-
luctantly decided to increase the
subscription price to One Dollar
and Fifty Cents per annum, the
new rate to take effect November
LIST, 1917.
The Cape May County Times, pub
lished at Sea Isle City, says they in
creased their subscription price over a
year ago, and despite this has gone
behind a tidy sum in actual cash, dur
ing the period of which Editor Cooper
speaks. This despite the fact that the
subscription list is larger than ever
before, and the advertising patronage
better.
We feel much like Editor Fisher, of
the Ocean County (Tons River) Cour-
Ter, who says in a recent editorial:
There is not a newspaper in the
county that has not 'been up
against it good and proper" the
past few months. Everybody likes
to air his own grievances to the
public, and as so many people
seek the aid of the newspaper to
tell their troubles to the world,
univ xrOYIInJ+ - 10 fo;, Co., +La
newspapers to unburden their sor-
rows to the general public?
labor conditions in such an unsettled
state that printers are almost impos-
sible to get. There is scarcely a shop
in this section that has not lost one
or two men since the CONSUMPTION,
and n publisher at least, has recent
ly been compelled to get out four sep
arate editions of his paper with as
many different forces.
To add to the troubles which are be-
setting the craft, the mails have be-
come so d~emoralized through the ex-
ira burden of war, that newspapers
are apt to reach subscribers any old
time, goodness knows when, and ex-
press service is as bad, and worse,
than the mail.
These are truly troublesome times.
But since we are all called upon to do
our bit, W must grin and bear it..
