FRICES DROP DURING SESSION American meltlnsT Leads Decline aad Railroad Isaaea Deellae en Reports In Decrease of Net Ftmlngs. NEW YORK. Feb. 5-Today s market ,aVt evidence that demand for .?,, "h"1 come practically to a stand still. Such a market tends to give Way from Inanition and the drop of prices early In the day was quite evidently ot this nature. The selling pressure wns en hanced later by increased professional op erations on the short side. This demon stration was encouraged by the manifest lack of support in the market, marking the apparent abandonment of the policy of sustaining prices which had been at tributed to the powerful banks and cap Itallsta In association, either bv tacit or formal acrrecment. The assigned motive for tho support of the market by the large financial inter ests Is the Importance of fostering the growth of confidence In securities and awakening a demand which will help to further the flotation of new Issues In con templation to meet financial requirements which confront many large corporations. This policy was not In evidence today, cer tainly, and the bearish professionals showed growing boldness In following up their advantage. American Smelting was ft center of attack and Its decline was In fluential in undermining the whole mar ket. The professed motive for the selling of the stock was the formation of plans for competition in business by allied In terest In the metal mining Industry. . There was nothing in the news of the day to constitute an effective stay for values, and several Items were construed as posi tive factors of depression. Such was tho reiiort of the discharge of lo.oiiO men by the Baldwin Locomotive works and the official intimation that a total shut down of that Important Industrial concern was in contemplation, following a change In present conditions of demand for Us pro duct. Railroad equipment industrials as a group naturally showed the effect of this Information. , Additional reports of net earnings for .December offered little proailse of re sources In hand by railroads for pushing expenditures. Compared with December of 1906, the percentage decreases In some of the Important railroad systems today. Reported net earnings for December were: Southern Pacific, 21 per cent; Union Pa cific, 10 per cent; Norfolk and Western, 42 per cent; Lehigh Valley, 32 per cent, and for the six months ending December 31, Louisville and Nashville reports a decrease of 2H per cent compared with tho previous year. A summary of results from forty four roads previously reporting for Dee cember shows an average shrinkage in net earnings in tho-same comparison of 21.80 per cent. Discussion of the dividends prospects was not cheerful. In the face or these returns, and several of the Indus trials were the object of unfavorable esti mates or a more specific kind. Borne f mo selling or stocks and, to some extent, of bonds which appears occasionally in the market Is attributed to closing out of bank or trust company loans In the final clearing up of the affairs of those Insti tutions which, were helped through the panic period. Home hardening of the time jnoney market was perceptible today and foreign exchange rates continued to decline. A remarkable feature, of the price movement of stocks was 'the unin terrupted nature of the decline. Even at the laat there was, no resiliency and last prices were commonly the lowest. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, 11,840,00. United States bonds were unchanged on call. V Number ot sales and quotations of atAtk war il tallows: gain. High. Low. Close.

AC the same time advices from all selling points were very favorable, so that the market here opened In good season In the morning and the great big bulk of all the killing cattle cnanged hands at an early hour. Beef steers were In very good demand and generally 10c higher than yesterday. Packer all seemed to want cattle and, fearing possibly that the storm might re duce receipts the remainder of the week, they were all out and bought freely. Some good steers sold as high as 15.45. cows and heifer participated In tne gen eral advance on killing cattle, selling 10a higher than yesterday, with the trade quite active at the advance. Practically every thing In sight changed hand at an early nour. The market on feeders was very slow and dull, a i apt to be the caae during the prevalence of a bad storm. The cattle looked bad, as might be expected after rain and sleet storm, and there did not appear to be very many country buyers. Hence it would be safe not only to quote the market as slow, but a much a Hie lower, with light alocker hardly moving at all.

That even In the effort of the railroad company to economise at station In thl west the Burlington railroad ha made no change In either agents or operator whlck will Inconvenience the traveling publlo ant shippers, waa the assertion ot George W Loomls, assistant general manager of ttu Burlington lines, when dispatche wer read to him telling of the alleged Incon venience. "We have reduced our force at the de pot only where there waa not enougl business to retain the usual force," said Mr. Loomls. "I have heard of no com plaint at any talion." ' ' Mr. Looml waa read a report from Broken BoW, which ald "thirty men from Broken Bow clamored for ticket at Merna Sunday morning to make the; trip home by rail and were told by the agent that the night operator had been laid oft and he could not sell the ticket, though It wa then almost an hour until train time." "I have heard nothing of the agent at Merna refusing to sell ticket. Merna I a hamlet and It I likely we have reduced our force there, but I could not teO without looking at the payroll." Not on Ordera of H. "I It on order of th road that where there I but one man at the station , lie hall not aell ticket except during hi own hour?" "The Burlington haa issued no such or der. It such a thing happened It wa probably because the agent waa grouchy." "Do you tolerate- such grouchy agent on your road?'' ' "We certainly flo not." '' "Are all your station open half an hour before the arrival and departure of your passenger train, the same as they have always been?" ' . " .. ' "They certainly are. . Tou may ay for the Burlington railroad that wa have suf ficient force at all station where our train stop to do the business, to aell the tickets and receive the frieght. W have only reduced forces where a lack of busi ness made It possible and justified u In economising."
