far as the government printing
office is concerned.
Its groaning presses are turning
out copies OF hundreds Of bills

Already some 600 bills have
been delivered TO house clerks and

NEW YORK, December 24-Transit

group Of companies recorded con-
tinued gains over last year, as shown
by the Transit Journal indicator,
which stands at 101.63, as compared
with the corresponding week in 1888.
This is a slight reduction from
the figure for the week ending De-

Trends for the week were generally

Central West farmers are selling

said. The condition, he said, has
reached such proportions In the last
week as to become serious concern
to the entire industry.
UNLESS farmers realize at once the
folly Of their present frenzied mar
