 The spread of the curb's ticker service began immediately after the move. Today there are ap- proximately 2,OOO tickers in various cities and new ones are being in stalled rapidly to meet the nations new demand for financial news. Cities to be supplied very soon in- clude Richmond, Louisville, Akron, Columbus, Youngstown, Minneapolis and Milwaukee.

The price of a seat on the curb has risen from $S,0o0 in 1921 to about $190,000 This increase, amounting to about 5 ,000 per cent, is directly the re- suit of increased participation by the public in stock trading.

NEW YORK, April 8.-The New York curb market, which was a homeless crowd of street brokers eight years ago, has settled down and made of itself a national in- stitution.
 One by one cities as far west as St. Louis have been linked by di- rect wire with the floor of the curb market and plans are under way to extend services to the Pa cific coast and southward to the tip of Florida. Fifty important cities in the north, east and mid dle west now have minute-b -by-min- ute access to the curbs record of stock and bond transactions.

SEWARD CRAFT LOST BUT ALL
 ABOARD SAVED
M. s. Discoverer Wrecked Sunday Morning Pas
 sengers Landed Safely

The motorship Discoverer, Capt
 H. Berger, operating between Sew ard and Illiamna, was wrecked at 1:30 am, Sunday and it's passen- gers forced to take to life boats, according to cablegrams received here today. Whether the ship can be salvaged or is a total loss was not revealed, and no details of the accident were given.
 One telegram, from Seldovia, re- ceived at local headquarters of the Alaska G m e Commission from Warden Cadwallader, one of the boats passengers said: "Motorship Discoverer hit rock 1:30 am. today Sunday. Fifty left in lifeboats arrived Seldovia today" It is be- lieved here that the number of pas sengers given, 50, is an error as the accommodations could not care for so large a crowd
 B. B. Green, local merchandise broker who was enroute to Kodiak aboard the ship, telegraphed Mrs. Green here that he had lost every thing except the clothes he was wearing. This indicates that the boat either went down or was in an precarious condition since it was impossible for him to save any of his grips or trunks.
 Local U. s. Custom House au- thorities were without any official on the wreck late this af- ternoon.
 The Discoveror has been operat- ing in Cook Inlet and Alaska Pe- waters for several years. It was recently rebuilt, enlarged and new motors installed.

APPROPRIATIONS
 TOTAL. MAY SET
 SKY HIGH MARK
Special and General Ap- propriations May Sur
 pass Revenue

If all special appropriation meas ures that have been introduced in the Legislature up to date are en- acted into law, and the budget estimates for general and special appropriations yet to be covered by measures to be introduced are allowed in full, the total of all money bills will amount to $2,- 789, 9,837 This is $725,77 in excess of the estimated revenues for the current biennium.
 Despite the fact that the Treas ury reported a net cash balance of $l ,239, ASA on hand March 31 last, it is evident that some shaving of appropriations must be done by the Ways and Means Committee if the Territory doesn't face the hiennium beginning March 31, 1881 with deficit ahead because there will not be enough left in Treasury to conduct business with until tax receipts begin to come in for that year.
 Up to now special appropriations have been introduced carrying total of S183,594, and general ap- propriations aggregating $218,493 In the first class mentioned, the First Division is seeking $13, ,705, the Second S52,2OO, the Third s94,- 900, and the Fourth S32, ,789 In the budget there are estimates totaling S2,237,740 yet to be provided for. In addition to this, if the increased pensions and school refund bills are enacted as passed by the House and Senate respectively, $150,000 additional must be provided
 These are some of the statistics which have been bothering the Ways and Means Committee. It is almost certain that other bills seek ing grants will be introduced be- fore the session ends.
 Pending the return Of the joint legislative Investigating committee from Sitka there will be no busi- ness of importance transacted by the members remaining. They are meeting in the respective houses but no measures are being taken up as neither branch has a quorum. The Pioneers Home Committee is expected to return here tomorrow night.

 Opinion in the Big Ten seems to be focusing on this change espec- ially. Both Sam Barry of Iowa and Nels Norgen of Chicago, are outspoken on the subject.
 It is true that the extreme dis advantage of the less tall centers would be capitalized One may read fly suspect tliht the schools with no tall centers might favor this rule. In all fairness, it would give the -sized player his herit- age of the game.
 Shall we
 Elevate The Baskets?
 There is some talk of an eleva- tion of the baskets from their present height of 10 feet to a height of l2 feet. Such change would lessen the overwhelming ad- vantage that the extraordinary tall player now has in tipping and bat ting the ball into the basket. Now that the days of low ceilings in gymnasiums is past, the increased height of the basket would prove

 Lower Ranks
 In the lower diplomatic rank of minister those appointed from civ- il life have served not more than seven or eight yerrs in their pres- ent position. Some have had pre- gious diplomatic experience, such as Laurits S Swenson of Minneapo- lis, minister to Norway, who has been minister to Denmark, Swltz- erland and once before to Norway.

 The ambassadors and ministers require an annual expenditure of s631 800 in salaries. That it is ex- pected some of them will come home and be replaced by other men is indicated by a provision of $44,000 for transportation in the

 Of course the final diagnoses and the prescribed remedies will be up to the rules surgeons. who will meet in New York some two weeks later.
 In the meantime the American basketball mind is asking: Shall we

 Sentiment seems to be crystaliz- ing against the tip-off at center. However, prevailing sentim nt seems to be for the preservation of the tip-off at the beginning of each half. During the game the side scored upon would have po-

also those who will advocate the evaluation of the field goal and in the moving of the free throw line would encourage fouling- that the players would foul easily, for they would not expect free throws from the 2o-foot line to overbalance the field goals for three points each. Of course the present personal foul rule would curb this danger to a marked extent.
