Money now entering a period of world-wide ease, and, as far as this country is concerned, the lack of initiative in trade and industry is likely to make the abundance of funds somewhat embarrassing.

The impression hag gained ground that the conditions followed the 1807 panic may to some extent be repeated now. Circumstances then, it will be recalled, encouraged people to use the stock market as means of investment for their funds which had been set free by the dulness in mercantile and industrial pursuits. There can be no question that a lot of money usually devoted to other purposes was invested in the stock market and that the large volume of these investments was most effective in bringing about the recovery from the panic prices.

For over two years a report of a special committed has been before the town, but the voters have shown no disposition to hasten decisi on the matter. In fact the committee, of which Judge Samut R. Cutler is chairman, has taken tha ground that It iru better to allow ample time or thorough deliberation before deciding to either accept or reject Xhn plan. A town meeting last August ordered the report printed and distriouted and assigned for consideration at the fall meeting. Since then the selectmen have appointed a second commute which is prepared to recommend other changes Copies of this latter committee report were put in tiie hand of a few of the voters yesterday.

Reports from the large corporations show a general Increase In the number of stockholders In the past year. This, in view of the unsatisfactory' Impression made by the stock market in that time, is rather surprising. It indicates that while the large banking and other interests have been liquidating the small individual investors have been steadily buying This change of ownership is a matter of distinct importance in an analysis of stock market prospects. It is axiomatic that the wider the distribution of the securities of the great railroads and the great industrial corporations of the country, the smaller must be the floating supply which is liable at any moment to be thrown on the market in a panic or other crisis.

Tne industrial work is merely substituted for the regular manual training, drawing and arithmetic courses.

It includes, however, mechanical drawing and shop arithmetic and there is no interference with regular preparation for high schcola During the first year the work of this class in the Agassiz district, was confined to 60 boys of grade 6, but its success has led to an expansion into a three year course, now participated in by 50 boys from grade 6, 44 boys from grade 7, and 38 boys from ties for 6th grade weaving, 2HC heldles woi iu aiso nave x-e puwe. uo oiomantaru cnhnic im sinnHnn I the Diesent svbtem at any aine tne 1 Maine Central. 930 Mass Elec Cos. 447 do pr 2570 Mass Gas 373 do pr. 64 52 31 11 22 ..210 210 210 ..20 18 18 2 ..87 84 S3 2 90 89 89 1 94 93 w93 ..9 7 8 -1 ..224 224 224 2 ..5 SB 6 6 6 1H1U0 do pr 73 400 Detroit 53 480O Distilling 33 3O0 tc A 11 200 do pr 22 100 Dn Pont Pow or.

The class was next organized Into different groups from two to six boys each, each group performing one of the several operations involved in the making of the box or the cover. The different 'parts were assembled, inspected, packed and counted bv other boys In groups who were assisted by the teachers who acted as foremen.

When 750 of these boxes were completed, they were packed and made ready for the supply wagon. These lessons gave the boys an insight on five points of superiority of the industrial method: Greater economy In the use or material, much time saved, increased skill, standard of accomplishment and that agood box could not be produced if any group of boys did bad work. the success in the manufacture of the first boxes the interest of the tor Agassiz school, 2400 card catalog oiortunuy tor ainenamg me auiuu boxes for elementary schools. i the council by the calling of a general All the product of the classes Is being town meeting. gent manner.

To this extent the large increase in the stockholders' list of the American Sugar Refining company, the Union Pacific, the Pennsylvania, the Steel corporation and other large companies, whose statistics have recently become available, is of great importance. This growth of small Investments is a result of the recent development of the old lot business, into which so many of the large stock exchange firms now are specializing. The shippers have presented their case before the interstate commerce commission in opposition to the Increase in freight transportation rates proposed by the railroads. Thfe matter is now ready for the commission. Most people who follow railroad affairs are convinced that a fair advance in charges will be permitted, though by no means the full amounts that the railroads requested.

Much interest therefore centers in the initial decision of the rate question soon to be rendered by the commissioners, as it is taken for granted that that decision Will be indicative of future nnei Rowland ZUW do 1st pr 48 44 44 4 300 do 2d pr 35 3 34 -3 9800 Gen Elec Co. -6 14100 Goldfleld Con 8V4 8 8 19700 Gr Northern 120 121 3 3000 Gr Ore 59 55 56 3 1200 Illinois Central. .134 129 129H 4 1970S Inter-Metro 20 18 19 1 13500 do pr 55 51 52 3 9000 113 108 100 4 425 do pr 121 121 121 2300 Inter Paper 13 12 13 1 T0O0 do pr 57 55 55 1 125 Michigan Min 4 3 3 1 35 Minn Gen 120 120 120 1 260 Mohawk 48 45 45 3 50 Cotton Yarn. 112 110 110 2 35 do pr. 110 109 110 146 Telephone.

Hill's prediction of industrial disaster and of a long period of Creasing unemployment, and Me filing of the federal government's suit containing many unexpectedly startling charges against the Sugar Trust, gave the stock market at the outset of 'last week a shock from which it did not recover. It is true that Mj Hill subsequently repudiated the interview that had been attributed to hiro, but the opinions expressed were so completely in line with his well-krown views that his disavowal which appeared Wednesday morning was not uken seriously.

The general interpretation of the Incident was that Mr Hill had expressed himself in a confidential way for the edification of some young journalist whose energy and enthusiasm outweighed his descretion. Mr Hill lias in the past proven himself a rather accurate prophet. The original interview of last week contained practically nothing that he had not previously, and very recently, uttered or written, including his. well-Juiown belief that individual and national extravagance is rearing a pyramid that must soon collapse- Probably the truth is that the financial situation was as a whole acutely vulnerable and was merely awaiting some shock such as Mr Hill furnished. It may be that Mr Hill is getting greater credit or discredit for his influence on the market than he deserves, for.

coincident with his alleged Inter -viewfteame the filing by the district attorney of New York of the government's suit charging the American sugar refining company with being a combination or conspiracy in restraint of interstate trade. The sensational accusations in the petition against the ugar trust were bound to have an unsettling influence upon the holders of Industrial securities generally. It is, therefore, difficult to appraise the relative share in the week's depression contributed by Mr Hill on the one hand and the sugar trust proceedings on the other. The striking features in the suit against the sugar trust were the charges that financial transactions or a highly surprising and questionable character had been employed for the personal advantage of the leaders of the old management of the company. In other words, the government not only thai the sugar trust constitutes a combination and conspiracy In restraint of trade, but that, it was organized and extended by questionable methods.

Hence, not alone the corporation itself, but all the interests directly or Indirectly connected with the organization are made defendants in the wit- The customs frauds anfi the more petty pilfering of JTater from the city of New York than: have been proved against the sugar company have prejudiced the public against that corporation, and it Is possible that, as the trial develops, the old management of the company may not prove thoroughly subject to condemnation as the government's petition alleges and the public generally believes. Nevertheless, when the government charges that Ex-Pres Havemeyer received $10,000,000 In Btoek as a gift from a company which the sugar trust was seeking to control, the stockholders in industrial combinations which are subject to one-man domination are likely to ask whether they are receiving their full rights as partners in the enterprise. The unsavory developments In connection with the sugar trust have naturally again brought to the foreground the Standard oil and American tobacco cases which the supreme court is soon to decide. These cases appear to pro-ride the bears with material whenever other sources of Inspiration give out. The situation recalls the trite remark usually attributed to old "Wash" Connor, that market news does not "cause" ther reducing production and elimlnat-: Ing competition, there Is a strong feel-i ins that lower prices must prevail for some products before there is recovery Klec ...107 105 105'i 10 do pr 102 102 102 2933 Shannon 12 11 11 515 Shattuck 23 23 23 550 So Uttth S.

A year ago the market was highly extlted over these cases, and even bankers of international prominence declared that the entire industrial fabric of the country was dependent upon tlm decisions. The changes in the supreme court have made a rehearing necessary nd the changes, including the appointment of Gov Hughes as a member of the supreme court bench and probably as its chief justice, have greatly moderated the apprehension as to the practical effects of the decisions when they hall finally be rendered.
