N. Y. STOCK EXCHANGE OPENED
NEW YORK. Nov. 28.—The stock exchange which
lias been closed since July 30 was re-opened today, but
for cash transactions in bonds only and with minimum
prices fixed. Contrary to expectations there was no great
rush to sell. The prices were generally a trifle lower than
in July but not at all so low as to indicate that a panicky
feeling exists. An excellent buying demand was also
noticeable and the feeling of anxiety which admittedly
existed in financial circles at the re-opening of the ex
change has almost disappeared now, a few hours after
the opening.
TURKS LEAD IN BLACK SEA
LONDON, Nov. 2S.—The occurrences in tJie Black
sea between the Russian and Turkish fleets are cloaked in j
a dense fog. It is generally admitted that the Turkish sea |
power in those wters is greater than that of the Russians
owing to the clever acquisition by Turkey of the Goeben
and Breslau. In the meantime the allied fleets are report
ed to be continuing the shelling of the Dardanelles forts
and with what is believed to be great success. The British
authorities deny that the Turks have made an entry into
Egypt but a report has come that some wounded British
soldiers have already arrived at Cairo. Italy is the coun
try which Turkey is said to have promised not to destroy
the Suez canal. But the news from the theater of wai
where Turkey is active is sure to be very limited owing to
the wild nature of the regions where the operations will
take place. This is particularly true of the districts where
the Russian and the Turk land forces meet near the Cau
casian frontier.
PARLIAMENT ANXIOUS
LONDON, Nov. 28.—The present session of the
British parliament is one of the most interesting on re
cord b«t the anxiety of the members is made evident by,
the many questions which are being daily put to ministers.
Prime Minister Asquith never answers without consult
ing Kitchener who is present in the house of lords to
answer the questions put in that chamber. No questions
an answer to which might reveal any military secrets are
receiving replies and are seldom asked. Ihe first lord of
the admiralty, Winston Churchill, is the most badly ques
tioned of the cabinet owing to the many disasters which
have occurred in the fleets, especially the one off the coast
of Chile. All the parties seem to be at the back of the
government although some individual members of the
house of commons were opposed to the war, notably Ram
sey McDonald, the leader of the labor party. Although
Lord Morley continues to sit in the house of lords he utters

nothing that could be regarded as hostile to the govern
metn from which he resigned as a protest against de
claring hostilities. Recent developements tend to create
the belief that he resigned because he foresaw that a war
in which Britain took the side of the Russians would re-,
suit in a war against Turkey and the taking of Constanti- j
nople by the czar of the allies were successful. As the
right hand man of Gladstone he always opposed the con- \
quest of Constantinople by Russia and it is thought that
he now sees threatened the very thing that he and the
grand old man of British politics had always striven!
against. The Irish question has been for the time laid;
aside but each Irish party has prevailed upon the govern
ment to make the Irish volunteers into two separate bri
gades One brigade will be composed of Irish unionists
and the other will be the Irish nationalist brigade. The
conservatives with A. J. Balfour and Bonar Law at their
head, are working in perfect harmony with the liberal
government and the labor party, now that war is on, is
working as hard as any for victory.
COMING EARLY IN SPRING
WITH DREDGING OUTFIT.
Houston Dredging Company Changes
Name and Will do Much Work.
The Houston Dredging and Hydrau
lic company has changed its name

operating near Mile 26 and in a letter
from the secretary, Edwin D. Caster
line, it is stated that early in the
spring they hope to arrive with a
dredging outfit. The secretary also
states that he expects to see big work
done on the peninsula next year.

SEWARDITES IN BELLINGHAM.
Wingfield Ervin writes from Bel
lingham that he has met several old
Seward people in that city and that
everyone out there is convinced that
Seward will be the terminal of the
government railroad. Among those
he has seen in Bellingham are Mrs.
Tillett, Sam Silverman and Assayer

tains near Bellingham on a prospect
ing tour.

Without looking at his records he says
that the number of bears killed on the
peninsula was fifteen or twenty.
Black bear have no season and the
season for brown bear opens on Nov
ember 15.
SOME PRICES GO DOWN.
Enquiries made locally show that
although the prices of some food
stuffs went up after the start of the
war there is a lowering noticeable
since. Sugar, Flour and smoked meats
went up but the first and the last
have since gone down. In the hard
ware business it is noticed that the
prices have gone up or down accord
ing to whether the articles are im
ported or domestic.
MOOSE WILL GIVE TREE
FOR CHILDREN CHRITSMAS.
Will Also Name an Annual Day For
a Regular Celebration.
At the meeting of the Moose lodge
last night it was proposed to give a
Christmas tree on Christmas night
for the children and the proposal will
undoubtedly be carried out. It is also
the intention now to name one day on
which a regular annual Moose cele
bration will be held in Seward.
I have secured the services of two
first class dressmakers, and hereafter
will conduct an up-to-date dressmak
ing parlor in connection with the
store.—MRS. ELLSWORTH.
