 ON BLocK ISLAND BEACR

Days of long ago were recalled Sun day afternoon by a Norwich man who spent the day on the ocean side of Block Island. Go back few years and 1t was more or less common sight to see pad ding in the waters of beaches or lakes, elderly women, who although they could not enjoy the pleasures of swimming. dc not hesitate to go of by themselves ard out of sight of the public. take of tnciF shoes and stocking and let their feet ped- dle in the water.
 This was the sight seen Sunday at Block Island: three elderly women. all of whom would tip the scaiss at over goo pounds, had taken of their shoes ana stockings and with skirts ne.d o1 high were in padding. The surf was high. at times was higher ,han their skirts. and the antics they went through to escaps soaking afforded considerable nirth for those who were watching .he m>rmnidE on the beach

 Tn volume, the trading paralleled That of the previous day, but dealings wefe broader. Many substantial advances were scored, although these, with few exceptions, were limited to speculative ts- sues favored by professional interests.
 Encouragement was expressed at the refusal of the signal men to join the ranks of the railroad strikers and the IT, regular, if somewhat moderate recovery of foreign exchanges followed reassur- ing advices respecting the German sitl- atien.
 The money market contributed it's share to the days moEe hopeful aspects, call loans opening at per cent. as com pared with yesterdays first quotation of first quotation of 1-2 per cent. The rate eased to 1-2 per cent in the final hour, when private offerings were made a shade under that figure.

 Speaking at the town hall at Andove1 Monday night. Commissions of Nctcs Vehicles Robbins 3. Stoeckel made rhs statement that there were twenty-ons less motor vehicle accidents resulting ID fatalities in Connecticut during the nrg half of this year than in the correa bonding period of 192I.-
 Out Of Sixty-seven persons killed il such accidents this year. fifty-three verg occupants Of automobiles involved. Thert were 3,sss general accidents reported is the six months ended June 30. as conn pared to AHA in the first S.r< of las year. Commissioner Stoeckei said thzs the increase could be attributed co tho fact that thorough reporting system had been established during the past year whereas, formerly many general acc. dents were not reported.
 The statistics for the first hAr of a.t year showed encouras sing results of tAt organized efforts being made sthroukaou, the state to reduce traffic hazards, be- ginning with the safety campaign con ducted last September by local govern nents cooperating with the motor re hicle. highway and state poke depart ments.
 The commissioner gave the totals Q: i fatal motor accidents for the frs. sis months of the past three years. .incird. ing the present. as follows: IT n 1se5 sS in 1921: ST in 1922. He said that th. records thus far this year showed con siderable less serious accidents and q ] substantial increase in minor accidents and th!s he believed. was because of inc fact that acciderSs that were serious I have .nveriably brought them promptly to the attention of the department in | the past year. whereas the inadeqrzts reporting system that existed hitherto permitted many of the lesser accidents to escape the notice of the department

NEW YORK. January THE most
interesting feature OF the first week
Of the new year in the financial mar
kets was the drop in money rates
after the release of large January
interest and dividend payments
Call loans fell to 31a per cent, the
lowest rate since last July, and time
funds extending into the second
quarter of the year were made at a
fraction under 5 per cent on seasoned
collateral.
Dealings in stocks were active and
broad, but a. combination of liquida-
ton and short selling caused SUBJ
stantial recessions in almost every
branch of the list. Rails were free
from pressure, but the demand for
those issues was so small as to play
no part in the weeks operations
Short selling was invited by the

WHEAT MARKET UPSET
BY FINANCIAL TROUBLES

CHICAGO. January 7.-Severe dis
turbance of the wheat market this
week resulted from financial diff
culties that led to big bank merger
here. On one day, the price of wheat
fell ~ cents. Compared with week
ago wheat this morning was on 3h
to Az cents, corn down 5h to 5H
cents and oats lower, Y to u cents.
Provisions showed net gains of 2
to IL cents.
Nervousness in the wheat market
was partly due to Wagner failure
which had preceded by only few
DAYS the troubles of the Fort Dear

peared that the bank merger would
have no special effect on grain values.
but heavy liquidating sales of wheat
place, and false rumors became cur
rent that various board of trade
houses were insolvent. Excited SELL
ing and wild margin-calling followed,
and on the downward sweep OF the
market July wheat went under 81,
making a low record for the season, q
record sharply in contrast with $1.6s
for May wheat a year ago.
Readiness with which all margin
calling had been met brought about
rallies in the wheat market on subse-
ouent days with the help OF enlarged
milling demand here and at st. Louis,
Kansas City and Minneapolis as well.
Only part of the losses In the furry,
however, were thus overcome.
Corn and oats received better sup

WEEKS COTTON MARKET
NERVOUS AND UNSETTLED

(. NEW YORK. January THE cot
ton market has been nervous ana
unsettled during the past week. with
prices losing a good part OF the pre-
holiday advances. March contracts
here sold uD to 1920 when the market
reopened for business last Tuesday
morning, which made an advance OF
over cents per pound as compared
with the low levels of last November.
The price almost Immediately weak
ened under realizing or liquidation,
however, and broke TO 1898 for
March deliveries during today's trad
ing. The selling on this decline has
been attributed chiefly to liquidation
and pressure from New Orleans, Wall
Street and local sources.
There has been some scattereu
southern selling, but local brokers
have reported comparatively Few
offerings from that source, and the
weakness has loen considered more
largely the result OF reaction from
pre-holiday optimism than of any
increased pressure. in the spot mar
kets. The change Of feeling from the
extremely hopeful view of general
trade prospects responsible for the
late old-year advances to one of ner-
vousness and uncertainty appeared to
ments reported In Chicago over New
Year. following the assignment Of a
large private wire house just before
the holiday and the easier ruling or
foreign exchange rates.
In addition to that uncon1rmed
rumors have been circulating OF
difficulties in the trade at Man
chester and Of business troubles In
the local goods markets.
