There are signs of unrest, not «»nl.v among railroad employes, but in the steel and several other industries. In many eases the present high cost of living is the basis for increased demands, but a determination to secure as large returns as possible is probably an equal motive for these demands. The general trend of valii**1r*oThmnd1tief» Is nfftrtn ds, Yind the necessary process f»f adjustment to the higher cost of doing business and living is perplexing and uncomfortable. Food and clothing are now very high, with little prospect of declining until the next harvest brings relief, as it probably will. The present high prices for cotton, grain and other products should induce very large crops during 1910, assuming that no disasters interfere. The acreage Special to The Spirit, NEW YORK. Doe. 20.—As the year draws to a close there is an improved undertone in financial circles. Uneasiness is gradually disappearing-, and a more hopeful feeling: prevails*. Congress has beert in session for nearly lwo weeks, and thus far there are no indications of seriously hostile legislation against either corporations or railroads. Presdciit Taft is shortly to issue two messages, one dealing with the railroads and another with large corporations. Nothing js yet known concerning the President's purposes on these subjects, but his well known views, which have been repeatedly expressed in the past, afford assurance that no radical proposals will be offered. It is not likely that the railroads will object to any reasonable regulation, nor are the corporations likely to resist a rational application • >f the anti-monopoly law. A good deal of discussion may be anticipated, and more or less radical talk may be • xpected, but no disturbing legislation seems probable at this date. The rational action of the courts, moreover. in recent anti-trust matters Is assuring, and in all probability new legislation will in due time be shaped to more closely conform with the action of the courts. pusLic mmi ran leopoid The .stat sale for the production opened this morning: and the indications are that the production will be greeted tonight by a biff house.

"In exceptional cases the government awards HO per cent but more usually 30 to 35 per cent. All the other claims were before the solicitor but the fact thai mine was upheld speaks for itself." Parr was seen at his home last night and confirmed the report that Mr. Osborne had acted favorably on his claim and that Mr. Loeb had ratified the decision. 7" he re is some confiiction of statutes concerning payments of this character, but it is said that in any event Parr will receive 30 per cent of tin amount named, or approximately ■f 700,000. Parr is not the only claimant for the award. He has had a serious rival in Edwin L.

Mr. Loeb approve-* the claim only after a thorough investigation by Harrison Osborne, solicitor of the customs. lie held that the claim was valid in that Parr on November 20, 1907, discovered a steel spring which was used by the company's checkers lo influence the weight of draughts of sugar adversely. This laid bare the scheme to defraud, and it was dm to the evidence obtained as the consequence of the events of November 20 that the jury in the civil suit against the company last spring gave a verdict of guilty, which was followed by the paying of the penalty, $135,4 86.- 32 and the restitution of $2,000,000 following. « A --onllng to the Ktatut**s resu1;iTing such awards.
