This iiuiniwr won by far the best of tho season and was thoroughly enjoyed by several hundred people. However the coat of the lyceum, which Is an Ellison-, White, production, has Iwwn sn i much, morn than the door recelptui that the guarantors will have toj pay nearly two hundred dollars to! . muko up the fltiJHon'H deficit, and It Is very doubtful If 1'nlon hooks another chautaimun or lyceuin forj next year. It seems to be the opln-i Inn that the public will not sup port this kind of entertainment, enpeclully at the prices which must be charged In order for the local committee, to- come out' even. It was hoped that tho final attraction, which conslslerl o( two vocalists, q 'tenor and a wiprano, a violinist and n planlHt, vould be a .good draw ing curd, but hide of interest, the stormy wen I her and bnskelhiill games In l.a Urnmle and Imbler, In which local players participated all combined to cut down the door recelpiH with the result that n large deficit stares the committee In tH face. - - - Thn Men's Athletic Association lias on Indoor baseball team that was challenged by "Jess" Spencer boys, culled the "KverHharps; Hunduy afternoon Ihe two nines crosHi'd bals at the. gym and the pencil boys wero defeated 4(1 to II hy ILutehinson's "Athletes."

Great Consolidation Forecast By Babson BAI3SON PARK, Miuw. (Special) ! When (llHcusHkng tho prauent stock market situation Hoger W. 1 UohHou, toduy, pointed out. tho ; prohiihlllty of various indu.strlul consoMdatlonn, and oiiMlncd thn ! beiiei'lis cxpi'etcd from I hem. j '((wing to, the rapid rise In; slock market prices since tho eh-c I Ion, and noting recent errut ic ; conditions, many wonder If the mnrket has not seen Its highest I prices," flnys the stal Isllclan. "Tile most experienced observers, how-, evor. do not believe the highest prices have yet been reached and givb for their reasons the Jmprov- d domestic situation, the plentl- fulness of moiiev' for legit iiuute purposes, the rest oral ion of Ku- ropc, and Ihe conservative admin istration in Washington. All these favorable conditions exist yet there Is another Impending development which may be even a greater fac tor than any of thes ementloned. ; I have in mind the probability of a number nf'consolidations among tho industrials, as well as the, rail -rOadw, during l!J2f. If tho market has already 'discounted these con solidations, then It may be around top prices; lull otherwise many slocks should go higher before the present bull market culminates. ConMitildatioii.s Follow Panics "Tho first Indus! rial depression this country ever witnessed was In the itiiti unci tho Tlrst, consolidations came at (he clpw.f lbM-iuw slon. Tlie fact Is that Ihese con solidations paved the way for bet ter times (hat followed. The next great depression came in the fids and this was followed hy further consolidations and tho first great hull market. These consolidations especially affected (ho banks which had grown up like, mushrooms In Ihe twenty years previous.

Tills in turn was fol lowed by ft third era of consolida tions. This time railroads were prominent. Thn next great . de pression came In the !iiin at 1 lie time of Ihe Hryan free silver scare. Tills culminated wi!h the Hpaiiish American war and was followed bv I he first consolidation era of thn Industrials, It was in (his pe riod that Ihe United Hlates Steel corporation, Amalgamated Copper company. American Woolen com pany nnd various other Industrials were put together. In conjunction with Ihese consolidations (he mar ket rose to great heights culmin ating In UMifl. In (his study it la interesting to note that these eras! have occurred about twenty years apart, or one to each generation, j Therefore, as far as statistics aro : concerned, we, are. on this twenty j year basis, ready for. another era of such consolidations, although I do not give this as my reason for feeling that Biith an era Is now approaching.,, v K sponsion Verlod) Ttcsitlts. "Tho real reason for such con solidations is that during n, period of prosperity a largo number of new concerns,. In every line of h illness, spring up, old concerns expand, and almost every Industry becomes Inflated and spreads out. This results- In a total producing tfaiMiclby In excess of normal de munds. .During tho depression which occording'to tho law of ac tion and reaction is bound In fol low each industry gets into a poKlllon where It Is making no money, and Is subject to cut throat competition. Tlie only way out 'Is to reduce overhead, eliminate un necessary competition, and pro duce nnd sell economically. This Comfuiiahlu I Men Noyes Uarlier Shop. BURGESS 1S08 Jrlfrnoa An. can be accomplished only through consolidations which, when prop erly consummated, reduce the cost both of manufacturing und selling. There Is no reason why jthe present yeur should bo un ex ception .to tho rule. History la bound to repeat Itself, and the stage Is now set in utmost all In dustries for such consolfdutions. It Is true that bunk clearings are higher toduy und that a greut quuntlty of goods are being con sumed, but the average manufac turer Is now making little profit owing to the bigh cost of manu facturing und selling. This condi tion cannot continue indefinitely and, If such consolidations do not take place, then the weak concerns will bo eliminated through bank ruptcy. Hull Consolidations Seen "Of course consolidations of the railroads Is now being anticipated by all. Itoth the government and the security owners are united upon the need for such combina tion. Tho main thing blocking these railroad consolidations seems to be tlm fear of . certain railroad officials, attorneys, anil specialists who may lose their Jobs us a re sult. However, I hose consolida tions are Inevitable and the uctlon of the rails on the stock exchange Is now discounting thern. Con solidations amongst the Industrials, however, are Just -as surely ahead of us. This will be accelerated by foreign competition. Personal ly I do not fear foreign competi tion bo fur, as the next year or two Is concerned, as It will take V: ti ro ne some lime to get organized in dustrially so that it can Hhlo low cost goods in large M'lantH les. The real foreign competition wilt come three to five years from now; and when this conies, It will come with a vengeance, Wise are those manufacturers who refuse to wait hut who now get together ami pre pare for it by reducing overhead, lowering costs on ma nu fact uring. and by developing efilehyii sale organizations abroad as well as at home. Mr. Tlahson referred specifical ly to the possibility of drastic con solidations In t he automobile lu lus! ry, the shoo and lent her in dustry, the texille Industry, "den- eral business," ho concluded, " Is now again above the normal line, registering & per cciQ compared with 12 per cent below normal six months ago.
