 The proposition is of the utmost bene[ not alone to Eastern Connecti- cut, but to all portions of the com monwealth, and there is no doubt that the committee room will be filled that the committee room will be filled with advocates of the measure.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR.
There Was an Undertone of Caution
 Due to international Situation.

New York, Feb. s2.-For a brief to- days's market gave promise of retrieving much of the ground lost in yesterdays severe and general setback, stocks displaying comparative strength towards forenoon, after an irregular opening
 Except for the first and final hours, operations were on a moderate scale, the aggregate being only little more than half of yesterdays large turn over. The undertone of caution indi- cated that the uncertainties respecting relations between Washington and Berlin still remained the foremost factor.
 The heaviness of the last hour was Iaccentuated by a steady offering of high grade investment rails, which yielded with unexpected ease St. Paul, Reading, Northern Pacific and Erie second preferred fell three points each, Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific 4 and New York Central almost six points, with one to two points in other transportation issues of usual prom1n- ence.
 U. S. Steel at one time was as high as 1O4 Is. 3-4 over yesterdays clos closing at small fraction over its minimum Other shares of the same class lost to 4 points, with to for oils, to for motors and ship ple's Gas. Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which developed weakness prior to the recent slump, lost six points, selling down to 6s 1-2, it's lowest price since 1910. American Tobacco featured the high priced industria1s. dropping 13 points on one sale. Total sales amounted to 1,S0o.000 shares
 An early rise of 1-2 points in Amer ican Beet Sugar was later explained by the increased and extra dividends declared on that stock. Republic Irons extraordinary statement for 1916, showing net profits three times in excess of the previous year, was in keeping with recent exhibits of simi lar industrial corporations.
 Angio-Freneh 5's and United King dog 1-2s were again depressed to new low records, with heajviness in do- mestic issues. Total sales (par value) aggregated S4,26o 900. U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.
