After the first burst Of buying enthu-
siasm in New Haven following the IN
official announcement of plans for in
creasing the revenues OF that road, the
stock declined a point or more and be-
came dull. Some traders took this as an
indication the report was without foun-
dation and sold the stock short. When
they attempted to cover their contracts
there was paucity of offerings, and
buying for long account also was in
evidence. II recovered in the session all
that It had lost in a week of selling.

STORY OF BOLD
IMPOSTOR LIKE
TRAGI-COMEDY
With 100000 Thrust on Him
Young Engineer Sticks
to His Desk.

ROME, Dec. 10-The trial of a man
named Belassai, at Girgenti, recently
revealed a tragi-comedy which might
have been invented by Boccaccio or played
in a restoration theater, but is probably
unparalleled in real life.
Frencesco Restivo was an Italian SOL
der, who in 1918 died a prisoner in Aus
tria, leaving a mother and father, broth
er, sisters and a widow and child. For
over a year the parents and widow hoped
against hope that the authorities were
misinformed and that their beloved would
return some day.
Nevertheless when young man came
to the old people eighteen months ago
and said that Francesca was alive and
coming home they could hardly believe
the news. He said that he had come to
break the shock to them and to their
daughter-in-l law Angelina. He mentioned
that francesca had altered much in con-
sequence of his terrible sufferings as a
prisoner.
The young man was dined and feted,
but he remained only day, as he said
that he must see Angelina, who lived in
another town. As he left in the train
he confded to a friend of the family that
he himself was francesca. The news
spread like wildfre, and even the parents
and relatives believed it.
The young Notwithstanding
swindler and thief well known to the
police of north Italy-had no difficulty
In convincing Angelina that her husband
was alive He was well supplied with
personal details Of the dead man, which
he had gathered on purpose from his par
ents and friends. After some days he
told her that he was Francesca himself.
She would not believe it at first, but
Joyful letters from his parents and the
confirmation of friends, who declared that
1t was absurd to doubt him, quieted her.
Bellassai obtained a life pension as. the
returned Francesca, and Angelina con-
sented TO live with him.
Five months later Bellassai. prosperous
and secure in the love of his Angelina,
took too much wine and babbled the truth
to the Mortified woman, who denounced
him to the police.
Curiously enough, she was not believed
at first Francesco's friends and parents
were indignant. The dead soldiers father
invited Bellassai to live with him and he
did so, but Angelina's persistence i'm
pressed the pension authorities, VIII, in
quiries resulted in the trial

Wheat-Week- end realizing has APP
peared as expected and despite an alb
sence of outside trade market has dis
played frmness, possibly because of un-
doing of spreads between this market
and Winnipeg, the Winnipeg being sold
and the Chicago bought Northwest mar
kets intimate fair export business in
durams, but the only thing mentioned by
barrels flour. Liverpool and Buenos
Aires are quoted lower, especially Buenos
Aires Irrespective Of items of news re-
lating directly to the question of prices,
1t is a fact that there Is no interest dis
played by the trade at large, the mar
ket being of the ordinary holiday char
acter. Another decrease in the visible
supply on Monday is probable and will
serve to steady, If not strengthen prices.
We think the key to the situation lies in
the size Of the export trade.
Corn and Oats-Y esuerday's small ad-
vance in corn and oats eliminated what
short interest existed. leaving today 5
markets without any particular support.
The selling in both was scattered The
eaboard and outside markets continue to
mention export demand for corn. We
feel that these markets are on healthy
basis and, will in the course Of time,
present fair profits to investors.
Provisions-The labor situation at the
yards is responsible not only for an alb
sence of offerings by packing interests,
but also curtalls any investment demand
which might otherwise appear. Hogs
display strength under light receipts and
shipping demand.

BOOZE
CURFEW KEEPS
ONE GUESSING
Visitors Puzzled by Varied
Drinking Hours in the
Districts.

LONDON. Dec. 10.-The booze curfew in
London varies according to the district
so now the Londoner has to drink by
the map instead of the clock.
In PiccadiIly, the Strand and small
portion Of Oxford street you may drink
TO your hearts content until Big
Bill has tolled his fateful midnight hour.
Outside. however, of that blessed cor
don your drinks are ruthIessly snatched
away from you an hour earlier.
Even to tn Londoner this is all very
complicated. but to the transient for
eigner fl is q mystery. why" he asks,
is 1t right to drink in one section OF
oxford street while on the other side OF
the street it is a crime"
You explain to him that the other side
of the road happens to be in an other
municipal area controlled by a different
set Of licensing authorities, whose views
on the morality of drinking after eleven
at night differ from their more enlight-
ened brethren Of this side of the road.
But there was n law passed that one
could drink in London until midnight
says the foreigner. why don't they
obey the law, these licensing author
tiles 2" The Londoner can only shake
his head.
The real hootch hound in London now
goes about with a map. Some ingenious
tippler has discovered that in London,
despite restrictions. you can start on a
carouse at II o'clock In the morning and
with but one hours break drink steadily
until midnight and still keep within the
law.
Start off at Kensington, very fash
ionable suburb Of London, and continue
there until half-past three. Then take q
bus to Stoke Newington. a half hour 5
run. There you drink until 10 o'clock
and then return to the stand area and
carry on until midnight.
Another of London's little liquor mys-
teries is the fact that if you fill your
automobile with cases of Scotch, Irish or
rye nobody can stop you, but should 1t
be after o'clock at night and you ask
for few syphons of soda or few bottles
Of mineral water you will be refused; it
is Illegal to sell Linerals.
Again, one can purchase from the fash
ionable florist OF fruit store carloads Of
expensive fruit and flowers at any hour
Of the day or night, but 1t would be
"agin the law for a poor woman or a
rich one, to buy a penny roll from the
teashop next door after s o'clock
Flowers and fruit come under the head
ing Of "perishabie' and are not included
in the provisions of the early closing act.
Bread, tobacco and cigarettes are not
perishable and, therefore, cannot be
bought after o'clock at night.

Dec. 10

We have had another strong market
with continued demand for stocks at
higher prices, which confirms view
we experienced in a previous letter TINS
week, that instead of having a material
reaction here, those who sold out their
stocks in anticipation thereof would
likely be disappointed and repurchase
these stocks at the market, and thus in
augurate another upward movement and
force shorts to pay penalty.
If we may Judge from the views eX-
pressed locally, there is a failure to com
prehend the influences under the market.
The advance in the stock market since the
first of September, which has been con-
tinuous, though a little irregular at times,
is the result of two great fundamentals
the gradual improvement in business
and world conditions, politically as well
as financially. and the Other Is the vast
stores of gold accumulated In this coun-
try. We hold now "A per cent of the
in excess of three and One-half billion OF
dollars. We have credit situation created
thereL y\that makes possible the Notation
of securities of an unlimited number of
com binations, and In this connection we
want to repeat what we have suggested
to YOU many times during the past few
months, that the new world conditions
created a necessity for corporations or
vast size, economically conducted In or
der TO more successfully meet cOmpeti-
tive demand, and when there is need
son to expect that 1t will be created.
This subject IS going to play an I'M
portant part In our market during the
next year or two and will naturally re-
suit in great activity and In our opinion
a higher level Of security values.

SWINE PRICES
SUSTAIN GAINS
Trade in Cattle Still Strong
Calves Are Higher.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

With receipts light, strength lent by
the strike in Chicago and both local
packers and shippers showing good de-
mands, swine prices were 10 to 80 cents
higher in trade on the local livestock ex-
change today. The bulk OF the sales
were, however 10 20 % cents higher.
But small part of the total receipts
were lights and light mixed and there
was keen competition among the shippers
in buying these grades. Most of the light
swine brought $8.15@S.25, while some of
the light mixed sold as low as 49, with
others selling at the price of the lights.
Heavies brought $7.35 generally and
mediums $7.500765.
The bulk of sales for the day ranged
at $7.35I765.
Practically all of the receipts had been
sold at an early hour in the forenoon.
Trade in cattle was good, with receipts
light, the quality medium to fair and
most Of the local packers active. Receipts
strong generally.
Veal prices were 80 cents higher gen
orally, due to light receipts and keen
competition among the shippers with
Eastern house connections.
There was top of S14 on choice veals,
and there were many more sales at that
price than on the market of the previous
day. The bulk Of the choice veals
brought S136I1350. Good veals brought
S12G13 and mediums S10012 Other
grades brought $750M10.
With around 200 sheep and lambs on
the market, prices were steady.

NEW YORK. Dec. 10.-The cotton mar
ket, though not unusually active today.
was reasonably good one, with a de
mand for contracts that appeared to come
from trade sources. locally as well as
foreign.
There is nothing in trade reports or
statistics TO substantiate the claims of
poor trade. On the contrary, the takings
by spinners is sufficiently large in com
parison with last year to suggest very
satisfactory trade conditions, and the
reports from dry goods centers shows a
substantial volume of business is being
done right along.
But the market has recently been in
1uenced unfavorably by crop estimates
that were disappointingly large, to some,
and naturally has caused slowin Q
down in market operations. The matter
of the size of the crop will be finally
disposed Of In the coming government re-
port. and the trade should be governed
entirely by trade conditions until such
time as the new crop preparations become
a factor. As we anticipate improving
business. we continue TO recommend the
long SIDE but eonfne purchases to days
OF weak markets.

GRAIN PRICES
CLOSE LOWER
Weakness Due Principally to
Lack of Buying Power.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Grain prices were
generally lower on the short session Of
the Chicago Board of Trade today. The
weak market was due to the lack of buy
ing power and the unexpected decline in
Liverpool prices.
Provisions were irregular.

was 1sc higher at the opening at $1.15A

Nobody Wants Island
Involved in Dispute

LONDON, Dec. 10-A remarkable dis
pute has been going on for some time
tetween the colonial office and the ad-
miralty over the ownership of Ascension
Island, tiny British possession 500 miles
northwest Of st. Helena.
The island is borne upon the admir-
alty'S books as a ship-that is, it has
captain and comes under the GibraI
tar command But the admiralty doesn't
want it any longer, so they offered ii
to the colonial office. When the colonial
office learned that it costs $4,000 a year
to maintain this possession and that ii
produces nothing but turtles, the colonial
office declined the gift with thanks.
This dispute is a result of the econ
omy campaign in government depart
ments, and the admiralty wants to re-
duce expenses by getting rid Of Ascen-
sion.
