SHARP ADVANCES
IN BOND MARKET
Revival of Merger Talk Helps
Rail Liens-Some Gains
of Five Points.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December "a spec
tacular advance in Chicago Railways
first 5s was the feature of the specu-
lative part of today's bond market.
The price went up full points from
new high for the year.
Following this demonstration, there
was a rapid downward reaction In
which a good part of the gain was
lost. The incident, nevertheless, we'll
illustrates the character Of the bond
market.
Rails Very Irregular.
Among the speculative rails there
was great irregularity. st. Louis
San Francisco income IS, which
reached their high Monday of SIN,
fell off below 80 today. M. K. and T.
adjustments were firm above IS and
arund their recent high. l. G.. N. ad-
justments were likewise steady.
There was special buying of Erie
convertible d As in sympathy with
the strength in the stock. Another
bond to go up with its stock was
Chesapeake and Ohio convertible 5s.
OF the local fractions, Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit IS were in great
est demand. There was very little
response in the copper bonds to the
strength in copper stocks, although
Anaconda Copper rs were a shade
higher.
Foreign Group Heavy.
Activity in the high grade list was
found principally in the outside
market, where demand and supply
were about balanced. The New United
States Government As were quoted at
zoos to 100%. There was some
selling of Canadian Pacific As in an
tioipation of a new Offering by that
road.
Foreign bonds were inclined to be
heavy. French SIS were fractionally
lower, while the new French Is sold
at the offering price and French IN
at par.
New $1,000, 900 Power Offering.
New offerings scheduled include
$30,000,000 Canadian Pacific 20-year
Az per cent secured notes on a basis
to yield just over per cent Among
today's announcements were $5,0o0,-
900 Union Electric Light and Power
of st. Louis general 5s, due 1854. to
yield 5.07 per cent.

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, December 9.-Unabated
drought in Argentina and wintry
weather west of Chicago hoisted the
corn market today to an all-around
new record for high prices this sea-
son. Country offerings of corn here
were again light. On the upturns in
price, selling enlarged and the market
reacted to below yesterdays finish
but later rallied. The opening, which
ranged from Is to rs higher, May
12T to 1.27A, was followed by nu-
meTous fluctuations with limits of 2
cents.
Wheat sympathized with the corn
markets advance. Owing to recent
sharp gains, however, numerous
traders operated for a setback. After
opening at Il to q higher. May 1.64 Il
to 1.65 and July LASS to LASH, wheat
averaged lower, as compared with the
close yesterday.
Oats held nearly steady, starting
unchanged to % off, May 62% to 62A
and later showing slight gains.
Higher quotations on hogs rallied
the provision market from a tempo
rary decIine.

His friends who are urging his can

he be elected. He is an expert en-
balmer, thoroughly familiar with
anatomy and fully capable of Judging
the immediate causes of death such as
are usually apparent in coroner's
cases.
Being directly engaged in the un-
dertaking profession it will be neces-
Sary, merely to notify his office in
case the services of a coroner are
needed and immediate, proper and
economic attention will be forthcom-
ing in every emergency that may
arise.
Because of his sterling worth as a
man and because of his proven loyalty
to the best interests of the county, and
in. the belief that the county will re-

. Comment and Criticism

0fte nthe labor press is forced to
coment unfayorably on court deels-
ions affecting the workers, as In too
many cases the courts seem 10 place
the dollar above the man. 4 decision
which does not favor property at the
expense of human beings comes as a
welcome relief in the flood Of decis-
ions favoring the dollar.
Such a decision mas been given by
Judge Elias Bishop Of Boston in con
neetion with provision of the Massa-
chusetts 48-hour law which prohibits
the employment of women for more
than as hours a week, whether en-
ployed in more than one establish
ment or not.
In passing sentence upon employees
who had violated the law, Judge
Bishop directed attention to the fact
that the state had the police power to
pass these laws for the protection of
women and children in industry; that
the right to pass these laws had been
sustained by the United States Su-
preme Court ard had been found to
be constitutional.
Under this police power the state
regulates the number Of hours that
women and children may work and
requires that notice be posted show
ing the number of hours required.
Judge Bishop stated that if anyone
exceeds the number of hours as al
lowed by the statute, irrespective OF
whether they had a knowledge of it
or not, they were violating the laws.
He went on to say that even in the
case of girl that comes into fac
tory and says that she works at home
during the day, or any other fictitious
statement to the employer, the very
fact that she is employed elsewhere
during the day, in addition to employ
ment here evenings, makes the sec
ond employer liable; that the second
employer must have the knowledge
that women have not been employed
elsewhere during the day, and that
such women are hired by the second
employer at his peril. The Judge
further remarked that these laws
were of great Importance to the
country and State, since they were
enacted for the benefit of the health
of women and children and the pres
ervation of the race.
Labor will not be disposed to weep
over the outsing of six members OF
the New York State Police for bru-
tally beating four prisoners. The
troopers chad it coming to them
and it strikes the ordinary citizen
that they got off with light punish
ment.
The record of the New York State
Police has not been clean as regards
the use of unauthorized force and
labor believes it is about time that
brutality practiced by the troopers
was punished. Well founded charges
of brutality during the Buffalo cal
strike were brought against members
of the force but nothing was done to
punish the accused men. Apparently
a beginning has been made in Kidding
the force of men who abuse theii
positions to attack helpless prisoners
and it is to be hoped the heads OF
| the force will make it understood that
even prisoners have rights, to say
nothing of men engaged in industrial
disputes.

Feb, 1908.

This case arose over a controversy
between the Transfers Union Of
Sparta and a certain livery firm en-
blowing non-union team drivers, re-
sulting in the local Federation of La
Dor placing the firm on the unfair
list and publishing the same. The
Circuit Court of Randolph county en-
Joined the Federation from so doing
and from "going to or sending com
mites to persons to induce them to
withhold their trade from the firm"
Case was appealed to the Supreme
Court.
The Supreme Court was composed
of Justices Dunn, Cartwright, Scott,
Hand, Vickers, Carter and Farmer.
Justice Cartwright delivered the opin-
ion of the Court sustaining the injunc-
ton and holding that the giving OF
notices to perosns to withhold their
trade constituted a boycott and was
unlawful. To this opinion, two of
the seven Justices, namely, Farmer
anod Scott, dissented, holding that two
or more persons have the right to
agree that they will not trade with
another person and may give notice
that they have so agreed.

of Justices Dunn, Cartwright, Hand,
Vickers, Carter, Farmer and Scott.
Justice Cartwright delivered the opin-
ion of the Court sustaining the in
