LOCAL SHARE MARKET. THE CITY MAN WHO

A QUIET WEEK BUT PRICES MAINTAINED..

MESSRS. BENJAMIN & POTTS' REVIEW.

Messrs Benjamin & Potts, in their report on the local share market dated yesterday, state:-

The past week in our local market has again been a quiet one, but in spite of the small volume of busi- ness doing, prices have been well maintained, and the demand for the principal stocks, remains un- abated.

Women reach maturity earlier than men, and this may be urged as a reason for giving the votes at least not later than the other sex. Certainly no one in these days would suggest that the superficial "differences which distinguish the sexes should determine the right to exercise the franchise. Modern con- ditions have favoured the evolution

And some she-women (this specification is not American, but Homeric) are more efficient citizens than the majority of men. This is an argument for disfranchising some men, not for" cafranchising all women. It is still possible to hold that on an average women are less likely to be useful politicians than men.

It is not at all likely that the women will all vote the same way. There will not be a woman's vote, any more than a man's vote. But some effects may be traceable. The average of manly beauty in the House of Commons is likely to show B small increnat. The Catholie and Anglo-Catholic vote will be somewhat more important. Masculine luxuries, especially al cohol, will be indulgently treated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. There may be some tendency to sentimental or emo- tional legislation. But the power of women is not exercised mainly through the vote; and there is a real danger that in grasping at what they think their rights women may lose their privilegea, which are much more valuable to them.
