LULL IN IRON AND STEEL TRADE
ACT8 A8 DAMPER ON THE
MARKET.
NEW YORK. Dec. 2—The vloleht spec
ulative movement In tha Rock Island se
curities. which broke out yesterday, con
tinued into the early dealings today and
threw the markot Into some turmoil.
There was a notable subsidence of tho
excitement when the authorised state
ment* were made of the financial opera-
* about which the speculation cen-
d, followed by a violent break In
^ m at the end of the day. Bpeculu-
,tive enthusiasm. after rushing Into the
market during the first hour, was some
what dampened by the formal statement
of Kuhn, Loeb 4k Co., the Union Pacific
bankers, that they had withdrawn from
the St. Louis and San Francisco financ
ing which had bean taken over by Hple>
* : Co., who have acted In Hock Island
nanrlng on previous occasions. The In
cident was regarded as Involving some
show of friction rather titan an approoch-
ntent of the financial groups concorned.
The secondary effect on speculative sen
timent was harmful rather than benefi
cial. The statementa of October earn
ings of the Ifarrlman Pacifies were re
lied upon to give fresh stimulation to the
mnrket. but their publication fulled to
bring any response, their favorable char
acter have Iteen overdUeounted. A con-
tcndency was the continuance of stlffer
tendency was the continuance of stlffer
rates In the call money market.
The engagement of gold for export was
an Influence on this, the <1,500,coo to bo
forwarded to Paris tomorrow being al
ready assured of a supplement In a later
movement. Th* rate at which new bonds
are coming on the market and the evi
dence of this In today's news is calcu
lated to make an Impression on tbs
money market with the rate of absorp
tion of available capital thus Indicated.
The time money market was affected to
some extent and the tone was called
firmer. Reports of a decided lull In the
Iron and steel trade had an effect In
keeping United States Steel heavy and
the tone became weak when the report
of trade condition* appeared In the *treet.
Thl* and the disappointment ov*r the
non-effect of the ifarrlman earnings
statements In rsvlvlng demand decided
the later tendency of the mnrket down
ward*.
Ponds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, were <7.604.000.
United States bonds were unchanged
or. call.
Total sales of stocks today were l.lll,-
300 shares.

at a net advance of 3a9 points. Bairs

Tho market opened steady at un
changed prices to a decline of 3 points
and shortly after the rail showed a net
Iofh of 4ufi points on the active months
••wing to dlsuptHiIntlng cables, continued
talk of easier Interior markets, local bear
nnd scattering liquidation. Put
Wall dreet hull Interests cume to the
support of prices at tho decline, buying
considerable blocks all along tho line,
and as soon ns local sellers saw that
their offerings were making no further
Impression, they turned for c-over and
aided the Improvement during the after-
The fenture In the late trading *
i th*
relative strength, of December contracts
which, had Increased their premium over
January to a matter of <2 nolnts and the
fear of bullish dsvelonments In this ron-
nci-tlon probably contributed to the gen
eral advance.
Tho close was within a point or two of
the top. The rumor Is that there Is stIU
a big concentrated long Interest In De
cember which nets as though It was wait
ing to receive cotton on Its contracts.

private crop estimate of 11,600.0(50 hales.

Daily—Facta Regarding
the Service.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.—Touching
the heart of the agricultural commu
nities In every state of the union, the
annual report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General I*. V. Detlrawr,
made public tonight, announces In-
craised usefulness of the rural froe
delivery service and tho unprecedent
ed bringing of the work of th« bu
reau up to dnto and recommends ru
ral delivery of packages of eleven
pounds maximum at a special postage
and the uniforming of rural carrier*.
The package provision suggested re-
Quires congressional legislation and Is
designed to be effective between the
distributing pnstofflce and tho patrons
of any rural rout© emanating from
sueh postoffice.
Benefit of Packago Provision.
Such a service, according to the re
port. would benefit alike the rural de
livery jntruns and local merchants
without injurylng or competing with
any other service. ' It .-an he given."
adda Mr. DeOraw, "with the facili
ties now employed and would mate
rially Increase the revenues of the
department. A special reduced rate
of postage for merchandise carried
only by rural carriers would unques
tionably be of materlnl value In the
retail merchants on rural routes and
nt rural delivery distributing centers
as wall as enhance tho Influence ol
the rural service in making Ilf© tn
the country more •attractive."
Package Service Demanded.
Rural carriers at present are not!
permitted 10 carry for hire any mut-|
ter of packagn that Is mailable, but :
congress Increased tho salaries of th-‘
carrier*. The demand for a pa Icage
aervlco by them, fostered In the first
years of rural free delivery, still ex
ists. It should bo ntaL according tn
Mr. DeOraw. not In the old way,
which i>ermlttcd the use of the gov
ernment's agency for private gain, Uut
by the establishment of a system for
the carrlngo of merchnndDo by rural
carriers at such ratua aw will be a fab
compensation for the service perform
ed. the revenues to he credited to Ho*
postal receipts. Patrons and mer
chants. he adds, deslr© to have small
puck'igcs delivered by rural curiin,
but will not pay tho present fourth
class rale, which Is prohibitive as ap
plied to this class of service.
Carriers Pass 3.000.000 Homes.
The rural curriers In the service
of which Mr. DeGraw W tho head,
dally pe.sa 3,900,000 hofneH, ond he re
commend* once more the adoption of
a uniform suitable to the conditions
under which they must work ns un
doubtedly adding to the dignity and
efficiency of the rural service. Their
high qJUindard of efficiency Is attested
by the f4<*t' that only 145 carriers out
of a total number of 39.143 were dr<-
mlssed for cause during the past year.
Roads Bslng 'improved.
Rural delivery Is how In operation on
945.417 miles of road, over which ’car*
rlers are required to travel dally. Of
these roads *5.000 miles are mndudsm,
these roads *5.000 miles are macadam.

lahed 170.632.143 haa been expended

officials and patrons are notified wh
ever repairs aro necessary on rural nuten.
More work has been done on such public
highways and more expenditures made!
In their Improvement during the pnat
B >ar than In any previous year In the
story of rural delivery and the official |
reports received clearly Indicate that In
terest In road Improvement la being gen
erally manifested throughout tho country.
Service Appropriations.
The estimate of appropriations neces- |
sary for this service for the next AsthI
year, ns submitted by Assistant Post-
master General DeGraw Is 136.24S.000, an
Increase of <678,000 over the current ap

ABRUZZI-ELKINS
MATCH REALLY OFF
TURIN. July. Dec. 2.-G*h# engage
ment between the Duke of the Abrusxl
and Mies Katherine Klklns, df West
Virginia, Is hraken off, according to a
confirmed report here.
Perhaps It l« more accurate to gay
that there never wai a formal be
trothal, but only an understanding
that If certain conditions could be
complied, with on both sides the young
people would become engaged, and
that now, It being recognised that
compliance with some of the condi
tion" Is Impossible, the lover* have
agreed that they can nevor marry.
The duke takes the nipture very
much to heart. He had Just obtained
an unusually long-leave nf absence-
three month*;—from his naval duties,
with permission to g$ abroad. He had
arranged to go to America and ex
ported to wed Mis* Klkln* soon after
the Christmas holidays.. Instead, he
ha" slipped away from home and Is
seeking to forgot his disappointment
In life thrilling diversion of climbing
the loftiest nips.
Hit* Unhepplnsas.
Before he went away his Intimates
gathered from what .little he had tn
say to them on the subject that he
lattt mtteh of his unhappiness to the
American pres*. He believes that
their report" of the contemplated mnr-
rlofa contributed very largely to tha
brruklng off of the mntch, specially
those articles which aro regarded hg
his family ns slurring, If not actually
attacking, Italian royalty.
Th« newspaper" of tho United
States wan not sufficiently Impressed
to suit sumo members of King vic
tor** clan with the extreme honor
which would cumo to the houxe of
Klklns through an alliance wUh the
house of Huvoy—even a left-handed
nlllance, which was the only one
dowager Queen Margherlta. the real
financial head of the court, woulu con-
Royatty Offended.
Those members of the royal family
who looked with favor If not approval
upon tho union are said to have hern
highly offended hy stories published
In America. Knowledge of that was
enough to cause a revulsion of feel
ing among those courtiers who had
been disposed to smllo on a match It
was aupi»oaed the king and young
quern had consented to. Ho t*.'! op-
