DE LA BoLsA DE NUEyA YORK

ltrabajadores de los mueles y carga-
dores en- Puerto Rico, segun Sc dice,
Ehan sido suplementadas por una, huel-

La prensa de Washington avisa que
Tel Procurador General, ha dado aviso

azucar al por mayor v &c. por libra
para los detallistas.
Azlcar Refnado
A parte de las revisiones hacia arri-
Eba en- los precios del azicar refinado,
no ha habido cannbios en- la, situacion.
Hay atifl una denianda muy actiya por
ell az1car de muchas secciones con-
tin1a con urgencia. Mientras que los
refinadores continuan hacienda asig-
naciofies al comercio, la cantidad de
azucar asignada contin1a siendo insu-
Efciente para las necesidades.
Sc dice que a pedimento del Pro-
curador General de los Estados Uni
dos, la comision refinadora especial
sobre la distribution en- cooperation
con los intereses para las conservas,
ha estado tratando y trabajando pa
racontrar algtn rnetodo que asegure
a los de las conseryas tener az1car
suficiente durante los proximos cinco
meses para sus necesidades. No Sc
ha llegado todavfa a ningi1n plan de-
fnitivo pero Sc cree Sc tomara algu-
ma accion para ayudar estas indus

una preston durante la semana v los

ftimo viernes. La preston ha sido de-
bida en- su mayor parte liquidacie-
mes largas Y a cubrirse en- contra del
cafe, en- existencia en- el mercado por
falta de apoyo. La accion del mer-
cado tambien indic6 que el alza de la
lsemana pasada fue debido en- su ma
yor parte a haber cubierto los cortos
ly la elimination de los intereses
Itambi6n cortos que APPARENT teriente mo
lvieron e apoyo principal del nercado.
No hubo nada particular en las noti-
fcias, Ia tendencia fue facil promovida
por el sentimiento inesta en- los mer-
cados de existencias v algodon. AL

| lbuyeron a largos de. Europa. Conti-
n1a la speculation de fuera que Sc
hacia notar por SUI ausencia v apare-
ce el sentimiento de ser algo incier-
/ to, con la mayoria del comercio que

cados primitivos. Rio continta mos

bien es verdad que ha habido. poca

Los cables del Brasil informan que
los importadores americanos han com

 Before the doors were closed Cur tain staged a sale that was unique. Prices were slashed on every article, and among the articles oeffred and which eventually found a purchaser were few beautifully made ivory and pearl inIaid rouette wheels.

 DANIEL B. JOHNSON,
 Fire Marshal. The insane suggestion of a lighted window candle for Christmas Eve, was slated today by the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
 John H. Stedman, of Rochester. N. Y., has originated what he calls a 'tChrist-Candle'' movement and has sent out a pamphlet urging that it be adopted in all the homes of the coun- try. This highly dangerous bit of sentimentality is based upon the 'told tradition" that "a lighted candle set in the window on Christmas Eve will guide the Babe of Bethlehem to your home that he may bring you happi- ness rms suggestion mas peen published by magazine of national circulation.
 The last time that a proposition analogous to this was put forth was in December, 1917, when the Ameri- can Re- Cross suggested that paper Red Cross service flags" be placed in all windows with a lighted candle -ehird them. The National Board of Fire Underwriters immediately called the attention of the Washing ton headquarters of the American Red Cross to the fact that a lighted

 Castor itself is a double star, which

CUT WORKING HOURS

Worcester, Dec. 21. - The Norton Company, manufacturers of abrasives, maintaining the largest factory here, has inaugurated a new work scale, cutting the working days of the week down to five, four and three.
 Four ti- i-ousand operatives are en- ployed. Single men, until further mo- tice, will work three days a week married men without children, four days, and married men with children five days.
 Lack of orders is given as the req son for the reduction.
