I recently sounded q warning
not to becpme unduly influenced
by either favorable or unfavor-
able developments during the
coming months. Such a warn
ing seemed needed because too
many people were becoming
blindly, unreasonably optimistic.
Also / had q feeling that we
would witness irregular hap
penings. And we are.
Think of It'll On Friday thir-
teen stocks on the New York
Stock Exchange broke to new
low records for the year, while
on the same day five stocks
reached new high records for
he year.
Since sthe middle of October
the average fall in stocks has
exceeded 10 points. Last weeks
decline approximated 2 points.
From the years high level,
bonds are now down 4 per cent.
They also were weakish last
week.
Talk of irregularity. Could
anything be more irregular than
the fluctuations of stocks or
companies declaring huge stock
dividends or special cash pay
ments or increased regular
rates?
Such announcements by some
directors have caused immediate
advances in quotations; other
stocks have celebrated simi-
lar news by promptly declining;
still others have, market-wise,
ignored such news.
Irregularity has not been con-
fined to the security markets.
The rising tendency in the
steel industry has apparently
been checked, and prices are
now described as more inclined
to sag than soar.
Railroad traffic was break
ing all records two or three
weeks ago. Now it has de-
creased appreciably.
Copper was sluggish for quite
q while; now sales are announced
at as high as IA cents a pound.

 Realizing that the circus is pri- marily a children's entertainment and that circus day is one of the most im- portant events in child's life, we gave the little ones first consideration when business conditions warranted a price reduction. l have always felt that the price of 50 cents charged for children's tickets by all the big shows during the past few years has been a hardship on many a poor kiddie. While we are not philanthropists, we do not expect to increase our revenue by the change.

Danielson Man Charged With Murdering Wife Talks Non-
 chalantly

Laughing and talking rather non ehalantly with police officers, while he smoked one cigarette after auoth- CT, Erie Welcher of Danielson was brought from Brooklyn jail May 27 morning and in the Killingly town court was put to plea on the charge of first degree murder. Through his attorney, Charles L. Torrey, he de- murred to the charge. Judge W. Fenner Woodward found probable cause for holding Welcher and he was bound over to the next term of the Superior court having criminal jurisdiction. He was not admitted to bail and must stay in jail until the date for his trial.
 Deputy Sheriff Charles F. Aver and Chief of Police John Mcfarland of Danielson took Weleher back and forth to jail. Welcher, by the way, being the man who is accused with being responsible for the death of his wife. who for nearly three weeks lin- eered between life and death because of bichloride of mercury poisoning, said to have been given her by her husband. The officers found Welcher an affable companion, fact that sur prised them when they considered the grave situation in which Welcher now finds himself.
