REACTION SETS
IN, AND LOSSES
ARE SUSTAINED

New York, Nov. 1S.-On the
stock exchange today shippings
and coppers, especially Mercantile
Marien preferred. American Smelt-
ing and Anaconda, together Win
numerous utilities and obscure
equipments, sustained the list dur
ing the first hour but a general re-
action set in before noon. Mexican
Petroleum fell 2ss. General As
phalt 2 and Industrial Alcohol
added another point TO its early
loss. Motors, feathers. tobaccos,
sugars. textiles, chemicals and
chain store issues were lower by
1 to 2 points Rails moved slug
gishIy, showing no material change.
Call money opened and renewed
into next week at AZ per cent.
Uncertain price tendencies, due
to specifis causes, characterized
the early trading in the stock mar
ket today. Central railroad of New
Jersey rose 10 points on two trans
actions, presumably on the advan-
tageous sale of its coal properties.
Industrial Alcohol fell "a points
as a result Of suspension of the
dividend announced after the close
OF yesterdays session. In general
the list was inclined to react, oils,
motors, equipments and tobaccos
recording losses extending from
fractions TO one point. Shippings,
sugars and several of the promi-
nent steels and coppers were firm.

GERMANS WORK
WILLINGLY IN
FRENCH MINES

London.-Whiting Williams. for
merly vice president of the Hydrau-
lie Steel company of Cleveland.
Ohio, who had spent several years
studying the labor problems by
working as a laborer in England
and America, worked all last sum
mer as a student in the mines and
steel plants of France and the
Sarre.
While on a visit to London he
has Just given some interesting in
formation about the German min
ers who are working for French
owners and officials in that terri
tory now under French control as
a result of the war. Mr.. Williams
stated he expected to find consider
able unwillingness to produce coal
for the benefit of the French but
he found no such thing.
The German miners. he said. are
1o-eiTing in France the equivalent
9. nIOre than twice the number of
L-fks received by German miners
L I'll !,ULr district They are
,.tf-ng Immensely more than the
!-vn and steel workers in German
Companies
The German miner is the cock
Ct the whole industrial walk in the
Sarre," said Mr. Williams.
a number of German workers
condGaG in me as a mining student
working along with them that they
we're better paid and better treat
Cd than when the mines were op-
Grated by Prussian state officials.
It seems TO me entirely prob
able that the plebiscite TO be taken
by the Sarre population about Is
years hence, Nill make the Sarre
either French or neutral, like Lux
embourg"
Mr. Williams reports that unem-
ployment seems considerably less
IN France than in Great Britain or
America He attributes this in part
TO the fact that 100000 French
workers are still under arms.
IN Germany. he said. the wages
have hardly kept up with the 1000
per cent increase in the cost of Iiv-
ing Peoples such as teachers
small property holders. federal
employees and those in the railway
anu postofioe service have been
tremendously hard hit" because
tnelr wages have hardly increased
more than SEQ per cent
II appears to me all wrong tC
say mat Germany has got back tc
normal and is busy and prosper.
Gus said Mr.. Williams. THE rea
Iact IS that German mines anC
mis- are running simply because
germany has not yet started TO gel
o1ck 70 normal. Her goods are solo
aoroad simply by reason of the ad
rantage arising from a currency
which Is constantly depreCfating

BIG DEMAND FOR.
OLDER ISSUES
OF IT. S. STAMPS

London. Several American
stamp collectors have been in
Lordon lately eagerly trying TO Sc
cure the pick of English collections
OF United States stamps. One rea-
son for the present boom in Ameri-
can stamps, well-known London
stamp dealer explains, is the fact
that the older issues are remarka-
bly, we'll engraved.
Americans this dealer contin-
ued are particularly keen on is
sues depicting scenes in their ma
ticnal history.
The 24-cent issue Of 1863 shows
a picture of the signing OF the Dec
laration of Independence. 1t is so
excellent a specimen of the en-
graVer's art that its present quota
ton is pounds, unused, and 2
pounds, used.
"A few specimens of this stamp
are worth 100 pounds, for a quaint
reason By inadvertence, a very
small number were originally print
ed with the picture upside down;
and the few still existing fetch the
enhanced figure.
The 60-cent stamp of the 1859
issue, with no enclosing, and
brown gum, bearing a picture of
Abraham Lincoln. is in great de
mand at 90 pounds
Quite n little romance was at
tached to the sale of an old stamp
to an American collector the other
cay.
Looking through one of the Is
volumes of our largest collection,
he suddenly caught sight of an old
envelope bearing an 1S47 George
Washington stamp.
THAT is certainly remarkable"
he exclaimed. That letter is ad-
dressed to my grandmother; and II
was written by my grandfather be-
fore their marriage"
He promptly bought it at a high
price as a matter of sentiment"

MUST KEEP DEPOT WARM
Bill in House Would Provide Comfor,
for SPECTATORS.

Representative Potter of Linn coun-
ty doesn't believe the boys and girls
in the grass towns should walk to the
depot every day just to see the trains
go snorting thru to the big towns
Consequently he has introduced a bill
in the house which would compel ey-
cry railroad to operate at least one
passenger train a day each way which
would stop at all stations
Under the legislative plan which
Potter proposes, there will also be q
station agent in every town and he or
she will keep the depot open for the
convenience of the customers and
spectators. Most of the enthusiasm
of waiting for the afternoon train is
dampened during the winter months
unless the station agent opens the de-
pot and provides a good fire So Pot
ter's bill provides both for service and
convenience.
In the senate a companion bill has
oeen introduced by Senator D. A. N
