12 FINANCIAL AMD COMMERCIA} —_— MABREET WAS STRONG. New York, Nov. 16.—The stock market nade further recovery from its recent acute depression in the early part of today’'s active and varied-dealings, bu fell back sharply later. Dealings werc largely professional and suggested more general readjustment of trarders contracts. BSentiment in speculative circles seem ed to be sustained at the outset by yesterday's many declarations of diviy dend disbursements, maintenance of the high rate of production in basic indus- trials and cumulative evidence of increas- ed actlyity in many lines of business. Money conditions also favored the market's constructive side. Call loans opened at § per cent., but eased to 4 1-2 per cent. before noon and 4 per cent. in the final hour as a result of the flood of offerings from local and interior fin- ancial institutions. Rates for time ac- commodations were unchanged, but funds, especially for the shorter dates, ‘were In good supply. Leaders of the steels, equipment and motor divisions, as featured by U. S. Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and ' Stude- baker, made their usual substantial con- tributions to the session at forenoon gains of one to two points, but. these were more than cancelled later. Rails did not figure to an important extent In the day's business, although authorative advices from the principal centers of transportation reported a con- tinuance of heavy tonnage movements to Tidewater and other points of distri- bution. Some of the junior rails which are not meeting their fixed charges were under occasional selling pressure. Movements of olls were confusing, General Asphalt, for example being the objective of another severe drive on fa- wmillar rumors of adverse financial con- ditions. Other foreign olls were irregu- lar or uncertain, with many of the do- mestic group. Shippings represented the market's weakest side, International Mercantile Marine preferred soon reacting from its frm opening and suffering an extreme @ecline of almost five points to 44 .

Further heavy liquidation of the independent steels, Asphalt, Marine preferred and In- Qustrial Alcohol, finally extended to U. S. Bteel, American Can, Cord Products and numberless specialties. Net losses rang- ed from one to six points among popular stocks. Sales amounted to 1,100,000 shares. Prenounced strength was shown by Buropean_currencies, sterling rising over one oent, presumably on the outcome of the British election. The Paris rate was at its hights level in over a fortnight, Itallan and Belgian remittances rose ap- preciably and German marks were fair- 1y fitm, despite latest political and econ- smic developments in that country.

You will remember she had four or five operations during her illness and after the last one she weighed only ninety-nine pounds. -Her nerves were in.such a conditionr she could hardly sleep and her stomach so weak she could ‘scarcely retain any kind of food. Az “In fact, when she began taking ¢ her condition was such that we had grave doubts about her ever being any better. But I want to tell you that Tanlac and the Tanlac Vege- table Pllls have worked so finc that we will nev:ibe without them. My wite now eat®and sleeps like a child and is perfectly normal as to nerves and strength.

New York, CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. Chicago, Nov. 16.—Although broaden- ing of general speculative interest today led to the highest prices' yet this sea- son for all deliveries of grain exdept the December delivery of wheat, heavy profit-taking -sales brought ahout & sub- sequent reaction. Wheat closed unset- tled at 5-8c net decline to 3-8c advance with December 1.19 1-4 to 1.19 3-8 and May 1.16 1-2 to 1.16 5-8. Corn finished unchanged to 1-2¢ higher; oats unchang- ed to 1-4 off and provisions varying from 2 cents lower to 15 cents gain. Selling of wheat in the last part of the session appeared to be based large- ly on gossip that after three days ad- vance some setback was to be looked for. Besides, export conditions at the east were said to be bearish. New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore facilities be- ing talked of as practicallly blocked witl no shipping directions coming in to relieve the congestion. There were indications furthermore that grain load- ! ings on western and northwesfern roads were increasing as compared to last year. | Qfterings here, however, were readily ab- sorbed. Commission houses reported the larg- est general speculative interest in many months, and it Is was to this fact chief- ly that the decided upward swing of the wheat market during the first half of the | day was ascribed. Strength in corn values had an additional stimulating ef- fect, and ‘so, too, did reports that flour | mills ‘were -picking up cash wheat and working full.capacity to get supplies east before the clost of navigation on the Great Lakes. Assertions that rural holders of corn were showing an increasced disposition to await higher ‘prices gave the corn market * impetus upward. Big demand from feeders continued from sections where the crop was short. Oats were eased a little by liberal receipts. Sharp reduction in stocks of lard have tended t6 make the provision market average higher. X Chicago Grain Market. High. Low.

The purpose was to discuss the present overcrowded condi- tions at the Academy. The following report of the meeting was made by the chamber of commercs officials: “The time has arrived when the town of Norwich must either build a new hign school for itself or meet the increased eXpenses to the trustees of the Norwich Academy, if they are to increase the fa- { cilities for higher education in this com- munity. If the Academy is to expand, it will mean new bulldings, more teachers and increased cost of maintenance. This increased cost of maintenance must of necessity fall upon the town of Norwich. A ~% Should the town méke use of the facili- ties of the Academy, as at present for higher education, or on the other hand should the people of Norwich have the al- ternative of building and maintaining its {own school. It goes without saying that |the town of Norwich can buy its educa- tlon much cheaper than it can provide it. Over $600,000 in private bequests have already been made to the Academy which jdoes mnot include the bulldings. ‘The Academy can reasonably take care of about 250 pupils through these bequests, but as the number of pupils has increased to three times that many and the in- | creased cost of maintenance and expenses have assumed such large proportions, the town must bear its portion of the main- tenance cost. “The situation resolvem itself into the necessity for selecting the number of pu- i pils who can attend the Academy with its present facilities, this compelling a large number of our children to seek higher education elsewhere or receive none at tall, or a reasongble assurance given to the trustees of the Academy that the town will cooperate with them to provide the necessary buildings and equipment and teachers to take care of the ever in- creasing number of pupils. ‘The cost per capita of high school edu- cation in other cities throughout Connec- ticut ranges from $120 per year per pupil to $160 per year per pupil which does inot include the investments on the buildings. Norwich at thé present time pays $50 per year per pupll. “The Academy is governed by a board of trustees and the funds donation to the expended by the trustees.. Norwich has ibeen and is particularly fortunate in hav- ing higher education provided at cost : through these bequests. The trustees of the Academy do not want to build -ad- ditional building unless the town of Nor- wich intends to pursue its present policy. therwise it would be a waste of money to-have the Academy erect new buildings, and the town to do likewise if the town should decide to erect/and maintain a high school of Its own .The question is ‘Whether the town will vote increase appro- priations to the Academy or build a high school . which will be under the direct control of the town. Something must be dpne immediately to take care of the Increasing number of high school puplls. ‘The Issue as it stands today 18 that if the Academy is to -expand arrange- ments must be made with ¢he town and if the Academy Is not to expand them it is up to th wn school board to take| ‘|immediate steps to erect a high school building to_take care of the children of Norwich. It was brought out that the out of town pupils numbering about 150 of ‘the 700 and over enrolled at present, form & very small- number compared with ;our local pupils o that even if the out | of town pupils were-eliminated the prob- jlem still faces. Norwich to provide ade- tquate facilities for a high school edu- cation. Naturally the increased number of pupils means increased expenses and increased expenses must be met by the people of Norwich. Some definite action must be taken in the very near future to take care of this problem confronting Norwich today.” Thames River: Channel.

PROPOSE 7-INCH TROUT IN STATE GAME LAWS A 7-inch limit for trout, a 10 inch lim- it for bass and a licenss for fishing were three of the most important changes ad- voted in the state game la by a con- ference in Hartford Thursday at the | state capitol, which had an attendance | of about 150 representatives of fish and game clubs-and sportsmen from all over the state. The conference held morning and aft- ernoon sessions with President Walcott of the state game and fisherles commis- slon presiding. Action taken at the con- ference was merely advisory upon what legislation It might be desirable to se- cure in the next legislature. In attendance from this city were Secretary W. W. Ives of the Norwich fish and game assoclation; Senator-elect | Hermon J. Gibbs, C. V. Pendleton, Willis | Austin, and George Dolbeare. George E. Brown and A. L. Stebbins attended from Jewett City and County Game ‘Warden R, B. Chappel and Clayton B. Smith from New London. ‘The conference went over the game laws from beginning to end advocating several important changes. These included a 7 inch Instead of a 6-inch limit on trout, a 10-inch instead of an 8-inch limit on bass and g state fishing license, the money derived from this to be used for propagation purposes. ‘The conference endorsed prohibition of the use of ferrets in any way, forbid- ding allens the use of firearms for hunt- Ing unless they are taxpayers, and,for- bidding the use of any bullet larger than a .22 long ih any rifle or -gun used in the woods. The basket limit of 20 trout need not ‘'be’ changed, in the opinion of the con- ference, nor did they advocate a slate bounty on foxes but left it ,to be paid by the towns as at present. The deer laws were discussed but no change considered advisable and the same coursé was taken on the open pond season, May-1, and the. trout season, April 1 to July 1.
