the playing was fast and showed con-
siderable basketball practice The play
inc space being confined, the local boys
were somewhat handicapped, yet in all
fairness to our opponents we must say
THAT Peacham outplayed the boys on
the defensive game and their shooting
was far more accurate than that OF the
Wells River boys. Choate, for Peacham,
PLAYED fine basketball, out jumping
Roberts on nearly every play until ms
removal from the game on account OF
personal fouls. Mackay, who took his
place. did not show up as brilliantly
vet he was in every play. For Wells

backs. PLAYED the game of their life
Lund was taken from the game in the
last period for personal fouls, his place
being taken by Grant. Kirk, the referee,
showed the bows that he was master OF
the game throughout and showed no y.
partiality. His refereeing was a credit
to the game and should prove one OF
the big factors in popularlzing basket

accorded every courtesy that could be
extended and only the best OF feeling
prevailed between the players. About

Daily Financial Gossip
Fly HOLLAND


 New York, January (special) )-The motive behind the emergency tariff bill which the House of Representatives has adopted and which the Senate is now considering is regarded here as entirely worthy. The measure is in the real meaning of the term an emergency bill IL is spoken of as an emergency because the farmers of the United States are face to face with losses which in the aggregate will be stupendous unless they are assisted. If these losses come not only the farmers, but almost all of our industries will be affected, at least that is the reasoning pr motive which lies behind the emergency bill. Factories vii close, labor be thrown out of employment and confidence be seriously shaken. Will liam c. McAdoo formerly Secretary of the Treasury. has recently stated that the country should not and must not look with indifference upon this distress ing situation in which the farmers find themselves and for which they are not responsible. This situation is caused by the unprecedented shrinkage in value of almost all the farm products.
 MT. McAdoo furthermore says that 1t is not fair either to the farmers or to the country to dismiss this matter with the comment that as deflation has .been necessary the farmers must take their medicine along with the rest of the country The farm industry as Judge Gary pointed out recently. is basic to the life of a nation. He and others have ntinated that this industry has really a superior claim to consideration because our industrial and business life depends upon our agricultural products.
 MT. McAdoo furthermore is of the opinion that the policies which have been followed for a year or more by those who can grant credits has been too drastic. There should be now a more liberal policy about credits. Tn this view he is supported by men of such high authority as James s. Alexander. Charles H. Sabin, John l. Mitchell of Chicago and others. MT. Alexander goes so far as to intimate that in the year 1921 there will be a much more favorable utilization of credit and supply of it than was the case in the year which has just ended.
 WAS DEFLATION TOO RAPID
 Some are of the opinion that deflation which began about the first of March 1920, has been imprudently carried on. It has been too rapid. After the Civil war deflation progressed slowly and had it not been for highly developed specula- tion and the over-expansion of railroad building, the country would probably have been spared the disastrous panic of 1873 Deflation having been gradual did not cause that panic.

PRICE REWS|ONS TRADING FEATURES
 IN COTTON GOODS
New Prices Expected to Be An nounced In Few Days in PercaIes, Prints, Muslins, DenimS and CoIored
 Goods
Ky Associated Press

New fork, January 1.--The out standing feature in cotton goods trad ing during the week was the price revisiofis announced on staple and dress ginshams by the Amoskeag Man Gfacturing company, the new prices be- ing on a basis of 10Hc net for staple ginghams. These prices are lower than the trade anticipated although expectations of very low figures were generally held. A little more business of general character has been passing in odd constructions and widths of print cloths and convertibles and the finishers are begionning to have more merchandise sent to them for handling.
 In the next few days prices on per- cales, prints, muslins, denims and col ored cottons, are expected to be am nounceG to bring the market to level of value indicated by the new values on ginghams. A substantial volume of merchandise has been sold and shipped tc jobbers on memorandum and it will be charged at the new prices. While ! there is stIfi great deal of unsettle- ment and hesitation in the trade the sentiment is growing better steadily and many merchants are convinced that the bottom has about been reached in the prices likely to prevail in the next few months on staple cotton goods. small volume of new busl- ness is coming forward on wash fab rics for spring. both printed and woven. Soon after the turn of the year it is expected that some large plants will resume operations, and will opera te a little more machinery than they were running when the holiday vacations in tervened.
 Prices are: Print cloths, 2S-inch 64x64s, ekc; 64x60s, 6Bc; 3S1a inch 64X64s, S1sc; brown sheetings, south ern standards, 12s c: ticlSings, S-ounce 2lc; staple ginghams,. 101ac; deninns. 2.3Ds, 25c nominal: prints. 12Mc; dress ginshams, 15c and 17e

TENEMENTS CROWDED
Mortality In New York Last Year
 Lowest In History
Rv 1sSoc,n.es pr>.

New York, January 1-New York City during 1920 intensified it's discomforting practice of sheitering several people where only one had lived before, and oYercrowding increased with each pass ing month. But the city thrived under these conditions, the mortality rate be. ing the lowest in the history of health department records.
 A survey of the housing situation showed that of 133.o0) babies born in the metropolis last year, 100000 were born in crowded tenements. Health Commission CT Copeland estimated that the popula- ton would increase another million in 10 years and that So0,000 of these people would be compelled to shoe horn' them selves into tenements.
 Tn the fetid atmosphere of these crowd ed structures where the poor and the foreign born are huddled together, Dr. Copeland sees danger not only to the health of the country, but to it's civilza- tiou
