 WEEKLY LETTER

The stock market has been un- settled and irregular, awaiting Wash ington developments, but also in huenced considerably by the high money rates, which have been rang ing from Q per cent. to , per cent. for cali funds. There appears to be q scarcity of funds for Wall Street activities, and this is expected to make for continued irreguIarity and eros s-currents.
 The Washington Government has informed the state governors through Secretary of War Baker that the Federal authorities will supply troops or demand to maintain order and suppress violence. This assurance should go far toward checking strike tendencies, most of which seem to be agitated by the foreign element.
 Voting on the Peace Treaty has commenced, and it is expected that ratification will take place soon with a number of reservations. Other large countries are awaiting the action of this nation. A sugar short age is threatening and buying of the sugar stocks has been one of the market features.
 Railroad executives have refused to make application for higher freight rates, holding that as the Govern II:ent controls the situation it is it's duty to act. A monthly deficit of $76, coo is now reported by the railroads under Government opera ton.
 The management of the Grea | Northern Ky. seams to be in strong hands with the election of MT. Ralph Eudd to the presidency. Progress is reported in he railroad legislation and it is hoped that favorable deveI- cpments may be reported in the Sen ate soon. September quarterly earn zngs of the Republic Steel Co. are a! he rate of SIP annually.

 IDEAS UNDERGO GREAT CHANCE

Paris, Oct. 11.-(By The A. P.)-Pre- mier Clemenceau's former hostility to priests and anything religious is well known, but the old premier has un- dergone an evolution in his ideas con- corning the clergy. M. Clemenceau's s home in Rue Franklin is immediately adjacent to the building occupied by a religious community, the fathers of St. Louis, who boasted of a wonderful garden with a majestic plane tree, the huge leaves of which completely darkened the window of the Premier S private office. Clemenceau sent a note to Father Tregard, intimating that the removal of the plane tree would be greatly appreciated.
 The priest did not reply; the plane tree still remained and Clemenceau renewed his request. Finally, the priest called upon the premief.
 Please do me the favor of having this tree removed" pleaded Clemen- ceau. Tt obstructs my vision o1 heaven"
 So pious a, wish could not remain unanswered, and the tree came down.
