"A. & p. Opens Self Service
Market In Rockville

With the opening tomorrow (Fri-
day. of the new A. & p. self-service
market at 112 East Montgomery
avenue, Rockville now boasts of a
food market of the most modern
type. According to the management,
the modern emporium and the new
bower price policy brings a complete
food service to the county-seat and
she surrounding communities.
r. E. Duvall, formerly in charge
of the Company's store at 300 Mont
gomery Avenue, will be in charge of
the new location.
The meat department, with its
long line of modern refrigerated dis
play cases, will carry fresh meats,
smoked and salt meats, poultry and
seafood. In the produce department,
quantities of fine quality fresh fruits
and vegetables are arranged on long
tables specially built for their dis
play.
Upon entering the store, patrons
will be provided with shopping bas-
kets on wheels which may be easily
moved from one display or depart
ment to another. This method elm
mates the necessity of carrying
packages and enables the shopper to
hurry if wished, or to go on a
ieisurely shopping tour if time will
allow. Every item in the store is
plainly price-marked so the customer
can easily compare values and select
the items most suited to individual
needs. When the shopping tour is
completed, the baskets are wheeled
to the checking counters where the
purchases are totaled on an adding
machine and an itenized receipt is
given to the customer.
A. & P.'s new self-service store
will be open each Monday through
Thursday from 8 A. M. to 6 P. M.
each Friday from 8 A. M. to z
p. M. and on Saturdays from 8
A. M. to P. M. Free parking for
A. & P. customers is available in
the rear of the store.

DETROIT, Jan. S.-Hudson Motor
Car Co.'s entry into the Lowest price

dustry's area Of greatest volume pro-
duction. and. in the opinion of many
authoritative observers, should give the
motor car market considerable benefit
in the extension of competition in q
bracket that represents close, to 80
per cent of the industry's assembly

Hudson's engineers have been work.
ing on the new car for several months
and had been pointing to the begin
ming Of the new year as the date for
its formal presentation. That 1t was
announced at q time when motor car
buying has been declining was not
wholly circumstantial, for postpone
ment OF production activities would
have been simple matter for the
manufacturer.
Instead, A. E. Barit, head Of the
Hudson company, announced that it
presented an opportunity to double
the factory's working force and set
the pace in the matter Of putting men
and money back to work"
Trade observers see in the announce
ment something more than Just the
presentation of another new car. They
say it marks further step In the in
duStrys general effort at diversification
With another older company in
creasing the spread of its price range,
these observers point out. the COM

added warning that the Government
might have to take over the job.
He testified before a House sub
committee considering the commits
sions appropriations for the next

MY philosophy was and is that
the national securities exchanges
should be so organized as to be able
to take on the job of policing their
members 50 that it would be unneces-
sary for the Government to interfere
with that business and that they
should demonstrate by action that
they were SO organized
Now. that is something more than
cooperation. That is letting the ex-
changes take the leadership, with the
Government playing a residual role.
Government would keep the shot
gun. so to speak. we'll oiled, cleaned,
ready for use, but with the hope it
would never have to be used"

gin inspections for exchange men,

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-share traders
who believe the security markets
should be looking ahead to & spring
business pickup have had the Wall
Street neWsreel running against them.
Santa Claus passed up the specu-
lative markets. The Ickes- jackson
speeches against monopoly sounded in
most Wall Street ears all out of tune
with the theme of peace and good
will between business and Govern
ment. Stocks upset the hoary tradi-
ton of brisk year-end rally. Since
then President Roosevelt's messages
to Congress have struck more pleas
ing note. in the estimation of most
listeners in the financial gallery.
News Unfavorable.
But the usual January urge to stir
up speculative buying on spring
prospects and in celebration of the
passing of the old year has been hit
by series of flashes of business and
political developments-the Erie Rail-
road bond defaults, the Supreme
Court decisions against the public
utilities in P. w. A. financing Of
munipical power projects, liquidation
in railroad securities on fears Of ad-
ditional receiverships, the spotlight
thrown on unemployment in Washing
ton and the General Motors cut in
pay rolls to avoid accumulation of
unsold cars.
Under the circumstances, many
analysts hold, the stock market gen.
orally has done we'll to keep its bear.
ings along fairly steady course.
Initiation and Deflation.
Trained the last few years to ap-
praise Washington news in terms Of
imitation" or "deflation," markets ex-
perts were stumped to find pat label
for the latest Federal budget.
Some commission house commenta-
tors called it a stand-off. The Treas
ury, they noted, would have enough
cash coming in from social security
and trust fund collections and from
sale of "baby bonds" to avoid further
use of inflationary bank credit if the
deficit does not run much above the
estimated s949, 100000 for the fiscal
year ending in June. 1899. Thus no
resumption Of the deficit financing"
which had been held partly account
able for imitation sentiment the last
few years was seen in the budget es-
Inmates.
However, the loopholes left for ex-
pansion in armament and relief spend
ing raised suspicion in some quarters
the Treasury may be dipping into the
bank credit pool again before the end
of the next fiscal year, particularly
If the revenue estimates do not pan

City bank stocks declined 81 per cent
during 1887 to reach their lowest
levels since September, 1884, accord

The weighted average of II repre-
sentative issues opened the year at
62.38 and maintained an upward trend
to reach the 1887 high Of so67 or
February Is, rise of 20 per cent.
This level was the highest since Sep
tember 10, 1881, and was stimulated
by CD the prospect Of higher money
rates encouraged by decline in excess
reserves and increase in reserve re-
quirements. and CD rise in business
loans of banks.
Subsequently, however, the list
turned downward From the Febru-
ary high, the average declined stead
lily and finally found a resistance
point of 1894 on June 20, drop of
rs per cent from the high. Here the
list steadied and held within a 6O-67
range for the following three months.
After this period of stabilization
the decline was resumed in Septem-
Der. From the autumn high of 6441
on September l the average declined
"A points, or 81 per cent, to the new
1887 low of 4042 on December %.
This move was the largest decline of
