"At the end of the year its stockholders had changed but little, yet 129,000,000 shares had been 'traded "The stook of the St Paul road was listed at 5116,348,000, yet the trades amounted to 1149,277,000, "and the prices ranged from 99 to 117 a share. There was no reason for this fluctuation, there was but little change in ownership. "The Reading road's capital stock amounted to $42,800,000, yet the trades were twenty-live times that, or more than $1,144,000,000. Stock exchange brokers pretended to sell three times the entire capital stock of the Lehigh Valley road and passed back and forth $119,000,000 of Great Northern stock, when there was but little change of ownership."

"Short selling" on the New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade and cotton, produce and stock exchanges generally was attacked by Senator Cummins in the senate yesterday as one of the "greatest vices" of the day, and as "a menace that threatens the industrial and financial strength of the country" Supporting an amendment he had ottered to the tariff bill, proposing a 10 per cent tax on all trades where the 6eller did not actually own the property sold, Mr Cummins, backed by several other Republican senators, delivered a vigorous criticism of stock and produce exchange operations and urged that congress do its utmost to discourage or prohibit fictitious trading, which he characterized as "gambling." See Cotton Gambling The Cummins amendment was offered as' a substitute for the cotton futures tax proposed by Senator Clarke of Arkansas, which would impose a tax of one-tenth of 1 cent a pound on all trades in cotton for future delivery. Senator Clarke argued that the New York Cotton Exchange, controlling the price for the whole world, "and its parasite," the New Orleans exchange, were no more than gambling institutions. Actual deliveries of cotton on the New York exchange, he said, were only one-half of 1 per cent of the sales.

He said he had county to secure serum known to be standard. Several herds in the vicinity of Princeton were vaccinated some time ago and today Mr Bliss is finding out how many of the hogs have survived. It is eaid that on many farms throughout the county not a hog is to be found, the farmers having sold them to shippers rather than run the risk of having them die from the cholera. On Friday evening as a part of the campaign against the ravages of the plague, Mr Bliss will address the members of the Jersey Ridge grange at the Jersey Ridge school house on hog cholera and the care of hogs.
