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

CATTLE Receipts of cattle thl morning
were not very large, there being only a
moderate run for Wednesday. 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.

GROUCHY AGENT TO BLAME
Reason Assigned by Burlington for
Inability to Bay Tickets.
THIRTY PERSONS WAIT IN VAIN
4.. W. I.oorats Say th Hill Coan pa ai
ls Not Retrenching; to Ike De
gree ot Paklla lscon
Tealenee. 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." K

Dioceses or KalsTkts of
Holy Grail.
Deputy Sheriff Gardipee started out on
a quest Wednesday that made Diogenes,
the Knight of -the Holy Grail and the
other famous searcher of history look
pale and lck.
He I trying to find a shoe that will fit
the toot of Miss Cinderella Dora Buffen,
a colored aoolal queen of Ramcat alley,
who I temporarily staying; at the county
Jail to recuperate from the effect of a
diet of cocaine and morphine. Dora
hoe were badly worn and It wa decided
he muit have a new pair. -Chief Jailer
OBborne made a casual examination of th
foot and from mental tstlmatesof th di
mension decided that a No. 9, double E,
ladle' slxe, would about encase the pedal
extremities of Miss Dora comfortably.
He sent out and got a pair (his else and
Mis Dora modestly, but energetically tried
to force her foot Into one of the shoes.
After a frantic effort she found. th shoe
could be made to encase her big' to very
nicely, but there wa no room for the ret
of her foot. She turned the (hoes back snd
reluctantly admitted ahe would have to get
a larger size.
"Ah wish you would git pinted toe,"
he said, "so they won't look so bad."
"No. . E width, is about what you
want," said Jailer Osborne, and h sent
Deputy Sheriff Gardlpe out to make an
other try.
