firm until tho latter part of tha session,
' when 'prices again declined on profit uik
i Ing salea. Liberal primary recelpta also
softened the market somewhat. Another
rally took place in. the last few minutes
of trading, on the report that forty-five
boatloads had been taken at New York

NEW TORK. Feb. .-The stw.:k market
today was less affected by the evl.lencej
of the contracted stage to which traffic
ana industry has failen, although those
evidences continue to accumulate. The
stock market was. In fact, unresponsive
io an yin ing and ror much or the time was
lethargic. Brief excursions Into one or
the other account by professional room
traders were responsible for the wavering
fluctuatlona of prices, but these ventures
were never carried far and were retraced
almost as soon as taken. TTie general pub
lic and. so far aa could be discerned, the
Important class of capital Interests were
profoundly Indifferent to the market. The
dullness and Indifference fairly represents
the present uncertainty of the world of
capital and finance over the future.
The further curtailment of Iron output
during January without preventing some
further accumulation of stocks and a rate
of production at the end-of the month
which promises a further reduction are
convincing proof that tne shrinkage in
the iron and steel trade ahown by the
United States Steel corporation's repOrt
of earnings for the last quarter of last
year is still In progi-ess. Reports of rail
road gross earnings from the late reports
coming to hand from day to day reflect
the failing off in traffic and measures of
economy for a commensurate reduction of
expenses indicate the decline still going
on In the wage fund In course of distribu
tion with the necessary consequence of
diminishing consumptive demand for com
modities. The official intimation of the
intention of the Illinois Central to offer
probably I30.hoo.ooo of new securities, which
are expected to take the form of equip
ment uotes, was regarded as evidence of
the temporary expedients to which cor
poratlona are forced still to resort for the
raising of needed capital.
The publication of the weekly return of
the bank of England served to check the
rising course of Investment securities In
the London market, although the decline
In the banks gold holdings' It due to
repayment of obligations to the Bank of
France Incurred during our own demands
upon the London supplies during the crisis
here. The simultaneous return of the Bank
nf France shows a eorresixmdlng benefit
from this movement. The French bank
note issues also are substantially con
tracted and its credits reduced. Discounts
advanced in London In response to thi
showing. The fall In sterling exchange
here was checked, but our money market
was unaffected. Price changes at the end
of the day were unimportant.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value. I2.066.mn). United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

("today, an even luo loads, about 2.3"0 head.
ana tne quality or the cattle was about the
same as it has been all the week. Owing
to the fact that supplies were lighter than
expected and reports from eastern markets
fairly favorable, the market showed a bet
ter tone and prices were a shade higher on
all desirable beeves. On the short-ted and
only partly-fatted cattle there was very
little competition from feeder buyer and
prices were not more than steady. Some
very choice handy weight cattle brought
16.56. the highest prices paid in several
weeks. In general values are lx&25c
higher than the close of last week and
there la a good, healthy feeling In the
trade.
Offerings of cows and heifers were com
paratively light, and aa both local packers
and outside buyers had good orders te fill
the market was active and stronger for
anything calculated to bring out competi
tion. The advanee on cows this week has
been pretty close to 26c on an average.
Veal calves were dull and unchanged and
the market for bulla, stags, etc., waa very
quiet, with prices about steady.
Rough weather has had a demoralising
Influence on the stocker and feeder trade
and prices have declined sharply this week
in the face of an advance in fat cattle.
The best fleshy feeders are selling lag-JOc
lower than last week, while the decline i n
the common, light and medium weight
grades has been aa much as 254340c. The
volume of trading waa very light today, In
fact it has been comparatively light all tho
week and the feeling is generally rather
bearish.

F. H. Stow, mnnnger of the-V'nlon Tele
phone Const rticlion company. w-McTt la In
stalling the plant of the Independent Tale
phone company .In .Omaha, received wore
Thursday morning that the ctrurtg had al
lowed the merger of the Oregon Trust fnm
pany and the American National bank ol
Portland. wlUvh means those banks will
be permitted to reopen- for haalneas and
that the IV26.000 of the construction Oram
pany's funds tied up In these Institutions
ts released and will be available for work
in the further 00m pie t ran of the Omaha
plant.
The t'nlon Telephone Construction com
pany had t3X,Ua) ia funds tied, up 'in' tha
Oregon Trust company when It closed Its
doors a couple of months aire, and -this
fact, has seriously hindered he work In
Omaha because ot lack ot available funds.
It forced the company" to ask the city for
the return of CS.OH) bonus which had been
put up aa a guarantee of food faith rn tbe
construction et-.tne independent plant In
Omaha. ,
"The telephone bonds held by these west
ern banks have been the means ef saving
the banks," said Mr. Stow.," "The tele
phone company- bonds were aerep'ahte to
the heavy depositor In lieu bf their de
posits to the extent that all were taken
up. The bank' carried something like 1600,
000 of the Independent Telephone company
bonds and they proved to be "most excel
lent collateral in this emergency.
"The company will now be able to push
the Installation- ef 'pbenea much faster
than it could when hampered for funds,
although the fact that we have been able
to contlnne tha work. J a faca of havtng
I325.000 tied up In the northwest speaks
pretty well for the company."

"Oh, we get lots of sympethy, but wg

"We will get more snow, though, be

see twelve Inches more before the winter

"Thl weather we are having right now

Instead ot sending a carload of Oinalian's
to the west to look for new trade, the Real

mittee test the possibility of sending- a
tralnload of Omaha ns east to advertise

The advertising committee of the ex

a three hour session, during which all

Tho committee will get out many thousands
of slips telling of Omaha, at once and ask
all business men to use them aa enclosure

The committee consists of F, D. Wead,
Byron Hastings, W. H. Green, and C. F.

with the committee on invitation, and sev

prepared.
The Real Estate Exchange proposes to
go Into the work of advertising. Omaha tor
all that It la worth, and a literary bureau,
with a salaried man In oharge. may be the
result, but the ' committee propose to do
something at k-ast once- a month, beside

thing which will be done. ,
