Court, that her husband. Angelo NJ
Mascetti. SO frequently asserted
what he believed to be his sacred
privilege, that OF beating her, she

and have one child. After moving
to this city, states Mrs. Msscetti.
her husband began to abuse her
either with his fists or any con-
venient weapon.
He is obsessed. states Mrs Mas

fromthe Financial Ticker

Inxestigations in active market chan
nels suggest that speculative sentiment
is inclined to .emphasize the impor-
tance OF the latest movement to fix
! prices upon all commodities, accord
ing to wires received from New York
yesterday by W. B. Hibbs & Co.
Until developments in this connec-
ttion become more explicit 1t is likely
that conspicuous reference to the mat
ter will induce profit-taking on demon
strations of strength.
There Is a good deal of gossip around
the Street suggesting Washington op-
position to certain plans of the Inter-
national Mercantile Marine Company.
the dispatches continue. This is the
hitch" referred to in rumors. The
trading element Of the Street has been
so often whipsawed by Marine pre-
ferred that 1t is giving the stock a wide
berth. go.
Floor traders seem to be inclined to
look for creeping. upward market in
which the best policy will be to buy
on moderate recessions, with the in
tention of taking fair. profits during
subsequent advances. The tendency is
to run quickly and to trade for short
turns as a rule.
There is little doubt that Austria has
all the war it wants, comments a we'll
known source. but whether a separate
peace can be brought about is a very
doubtful factor. 1t is apparent that
the eyes of the speculative element are
turned expectantly toward Vienna.
where 1t is said the failure to make
the italian Offensive more effective has
reacted strongly In favor of the ending
of the war without delay.
The selling OF about 10000 shares
of United States Steel yesterday on
the New York Stock Exchange by
house which bought 10000 shares
about a week ago at prices ranging
between SO and 90 when there was
so much bear pressure on IL, has
caused rumors to circulate that
there is some doubt now as to
whether the full extra per cent
dividend will be declared on the
stock when the directors meet jan
uary 90. Some think this extra div
idend may now be cut to only l per
cent in consequence of the coal sit
uation closing down so many of the
plants anu NhS lHe
railroad traffic. and also the improb-
ability of steel and iron prices be-
ing increased. One firm which
bought 10000 shares of the stock
during the forenoon Tuesday is said
to have sold it out during the aft
ernoon.
Regular dividends were yesterday
declared on Diamond Match, Penn
sylvania Railroad. and Norfolk and
Western Railroad. The regular
quarterly dividend was declared on
S. o. of Indiana, together with an
extra dividend of per cent, pay
able February 2S. to stockholders
of record February 4.
With the approach of the United
States Steel dividend meeting to be
held Tuesday. January 90, there is
naturally a good deal OF discussion
about the dividend prospect on the
common stock. A trader on the
New York curb offered to wager
that the dividend would be reduced.
When this offer was repeated in the
stock exchange lobby. however,
many on the floor were eager to
bet that the dividend will be at the
regular II per cent rate.
