CHOP OUTLOOK HELPS VALUES t'aloa Paelflc Assames the Lead Lata la the fesslon aad the Close Is Somewhat Aalmated. KFW VfiRK. Anrll 7. The state of sus pense over the outcome of the plan for the Erie financial settlement Kept ti.d stock market in a practical deadlock to day. Opinion was on the side of he plan being made operati-e ana v. based a muc hon ' the prestige of the names connected with the plan a on any positive evidence to show tne progr? to ward success. Report indicated that de posit of the note in assent were pot ne- na- made. It ws the general conviction that absolute compliance with the terms of the olfer would be physically Impossi ble in the complete assent of all of the outstanding notes, which amount to .,&no,ono and wmcn are wioety mat- led, not only In this country tiut in Kurone. With onlv three day' notice of the method to be pursued In th- ncttle ment. It was pointed out that proleseton of a hope of hearing from all the holders before- 3 o'elook on Wednesday might be regarded as extravagant. This fact fostered the belief that means were In reserve to take rare of atich ef the maturing-note a were held out. This belief again rested on the anoarent dlecredlt tnat would attach (o eminent name In allow ing the plan to result in a fiasco, rainer than on any admission that could be se cured of the existence of such n plan. The whole episode, In fact. Is regarded confusing In it Implications th.it deter mination to rerrBtn irom marsei wn. tions until It 1 definitely disposed of wu general. The coming government crop report w a sustaining influence on price. ery sanguine hopes are entertained among the speculative element of the iilgh P"r ccntage of condition to be shown for April 1. the date covered by the report, 'ibis expectation was supplemented today by re ports or rain ana prospects or rain in mo southwest, from which the only report of possible deterioration from drouth since the date of the report of the gov ernment's agents have come. While these considerations served to some extent to hold price of stocks, they were unavmi- ng to awaaen any active oemmiu. j n.rk.i in fact un. nrofoundiy dull throughout. The growing lethargy Of the. demand for credits is not liked, pointing, a It doe, to Blackening business activ ity. Increasing demand for mercantile paper Is In effect, but the Investment de mand for securities continue practically lifeless. Prospect of heavy withdrawsla of government deposits and of possible gold exports, wnicn mtgni oe nimim reduce the supply of loanable funds, seem a ,ojd w,.n nt niiMilnAHi aroonaTst borrow er and increasing difficulty is reported In the placing or runas. i ne ii,o,"v decrease In the British Imports of Amer ican cotton for March foreshadows some change In the completion of our own for eign trade showing- for March from the heavy excess of exports shown for ' re cent months. The persistent firmness of foreign exchange rates nere is expiicn..-u from this development. Union Paclfio reported a decrease In net earning for February of-$214.41 and Southern Paclfio a decrease of $1 446.749 for the same pe riod.

Receipt of cattle this morning, while larger than yesterday, were tlll very moderate. Other eelling point alo re ported only moderate run. Still the mar ket waa lacking In snap and life, f While buyer were out In pretty fair ea ton thla morning, it wa evident that they were not a eager for supplies as yesterday, the demand being far from urgent. Tni was especially true of the heavier and higher priced kind of cattle. While the offering slowly changed hands. It took a good share of the forenoon to effect a clearance, the trade, a a whole, being better described as slow and weak, with salesmen In some case quoting It as much a lOo lower There wa quite a sprinkling of pretty good cattle In the yards, some of them good enough to sell at $7.00. While beef steer were Blow, cow and heifer were active, possibly due to the fact that receipt of that kind of cattle were very light. Everything In the way of deelrable killer sold very readily at good, strong prices. Some choice Oregon hay-fed cows. sold up to $5.60. It will be well for Shipper to understand that there Is a vast differ ence between strictly good or choice cattlo which are bringing the top prices and which have advanced very materially during; the last few weeks, and the common grades, which have advanced but very little If, any. In fact, canners are selling now about where they were when atrlctly, good cow were $1.00 per hundred lower than at the present time. Oood feeders commanded steady prices, but light stock cattle were extremely hard to move. There are a good many light stockers coming forward at the present time, while the demand, for some reason or other, Is very poor.

Of course, only a part, very likely a small part, of the claim entered against the government have justice as a basis. In order to find out the truth of things tha government occasionally Is obliged to spend many times the amount of money In volved. One of '.(be mot curlou claim caaes ever known to congre waa that of Be nora Feliciana Mendlola, who lived at Angeles, Pampagria, Philippine Island. The aenora rented a house to Uncle Sam for the use ot some of his teamsters. When the mule-driving contingent moved out ot the house after a short occupancy tha scnora declared under oath that some of the siding board were mlaalnT from the kitchen wall, and she aaked for $JO0 In gold to repay her for the damage to her property. This case of Senora Feliciana Mendlola fills fourteen page of a house of repre sentatives document. It contains a long letter from the secretary of war on the question, of the value of kitchen siding, another letter from the quartermaster general of the United States, and fifty three communications from army officers and civilians of various ranks and condi tion. A' board of officers was convened to pass on the validity of the senora's claim. The board was In sesalon for day, many of its members coming from a lone dis tance to attend. On teamster, William Langworthy by name, swore that th senora's kitchen sidings were chewed up and eaten by red ants. Teamster Bum. mervtlle swore thaf, in his opinion, the boards dropped out of place by their own weight. Teamter Pickle said: "Them boards wss punk.,.'' , The trrny board which sat on the caae thought It. was very doubtful In strict justice If Senora Feliciana should ba al lowed any money, but finally th member granted her the sum of $.10 In gold. This action, of course, waa not final, but th committees of war claim in house and senate approved the finding. The senora received $30. and doubt less It cava twf soino satisfaction, lo know that Unci Sam had apent about $1,000 to gel aulhuf.ty to pay for a kitchen siding which CHICAGO BANK DEPOSITS 60ARAMTEE0 CITIZENS BANK TRUST CO. aABTX.BSTZX.Z.a, OKI tat Depository.

C0NFESSI0NS0F SIGNALMAN Responsible Railroad F.mploye Dl eaaaea Various Causes of Acctdeat. The third paper entitled "Th Confes sions of Railroad Bignalman," by J. O. Fagan, appears In the April lsu ot tha Atlantic. This number deals with loyalty loyalty of the men to the management and vice versa. There follow some significant paragraph. At the present day when an accident hap pens on a railroad and lives Of passengers are sacrificed by reason ot the carelessness or neglect of employes, practically the whole moral and financial responsibility ts Immediately assumed by the manage ment. Considering the division of power, does this adjustment of responsibility ap peal to any fair-minded person T It has occurred to some of us that If we or our organisations were assessed In hard cash In -proportion to our responsibility for ome of these preventable accident, the casualty lists on our railroads -would very quickly assume microscopic proportions. An "Em ployes' Liability Act" would, of course, b looked upon as art absurdity, and yet If unprejudiced judges were to analyse a few of our accidents they would quickly conclude that the Idea Is sanely and soberly logical. They would simply consider the matter In the light of fair and square tax ation with unmistakable and ample rep resentation. It must not be forgotten that the manifestation of power by railroad labor Is to be looked for' not so much In the wording of schedules and agreements as It Is in what the managements of rail roads under pressure feel constrained to ref rain-from cTolngv- Loyalty then, as applied to the railroad , service, means the safety of the traveling public In so far as tha human safeguards .an be depended upon. Again, comparing ihe service as It actually ts with what It night be, loyalty means the elimination ot numerous petty delays and at times serious blockades which, at the present day on many railroads, ar so annoying to the traveling public. As an illustration let us take the follow ing Incident, which Is almost an everyday occurrence: . Freight train No. 1. pulls Into a yard a few miles outside the terminal. Tha train and engine crew are on overtime; that Is to say, every hour they remain out on the road means a great many dollars In wages over and above their regular pay. Before long another freight train. No. 3, over takes No. L Instead' of pulling Into tha yard and doing its work In turn, this sec ond train runs up the main line and backs In ahead of train No. 1, thus putting It 'In a pocket. In this way train No. 1 Is de layed three or four hour, thus causing the engine to be lat for tha return service, and altogether entails upon the railroad an . extra and entirely unnecessary expense of perhaps $60. . Tou will find in our railroad offices an exact record and working history ot every piece of equipment from a splks to a lo comotive. Every draw-bar, every coupler, every passenger' coach, and pracllcajly every englne-Ure has to ' give an account of Itself. Th performances of these "parts" are carefully Scrutlnlied and watched. You will be shown all sort of diagrams, charts, and volumes of ststlatlc going to hoW the care and expense de voted to equipment and machinery. But ir you happen to ask for a few human statistics you are likely to be disappointed. For Instance, If a certain train crew runs a freight train 200 times a year, breaking seventy drsw-bars and upon different oc casions delaying thirty-seven passenger trains, and another crew under very similar conditions pulls out only thirteen draw bars and delays only nine passenger trains, you may consider the records quite Im portant, but in the railroad offices you will find no statistics ot this nature, no com parative statements and diagram illus trative of the workmanship and character of different men and of th value and sig nificance of the human element In the run ning of a rsjlrosd. In a word, you will Infer from your Investigation that If It Isn't a machine or a plec ot machinery it Isn't worth bothering about. Wo railroad people at th present day are suffering from a very peculiar form of mental blindness. Ferhap the point will be more comprehensible it w call It "de partment paralylg.'t Our vision seems to be strictly limited to our own departments or spheres of action. In this way svery department on a railroad I loyal to lUelf and mora or les forgetful of the other de partment. Why People Get Fat.
