NEW YORIi STOCKS AND BONDS
Market is Largely in Professional
Hands and Values Are Lower.
NEWS IS NOT FAVORABLE
Threats of General Strike In Phila
delphia and Reports of Damage
Wheat I'naeKle Senti
ment. NEW YORK. Feb. 2.-The stock market
remains largely in professional hands and
the recession In prices today may be as
cribed to the disappointment of the pro
fessional element over the attempt to ad
vance prices earlier In the week.
There were several items In the day's
news that were regarded as prompting to
caution In adopting assumptions as to the
future. The threat of a general strike In
Philadelphia In sympathy with the street
car men's strike caused anxiety. The large
number of reports of damage to the winter
wheat crop In the southwest from the se
vere weather had a dampening Influence
on speculative temper and proved the
growing Influence of the crop situation on
the securities market. Account was taken,
also, of the reserve shown by the mercan
tile agencies in speaking of the commer
cial conditions generally.
Announcement was made of one or two
Important bond offerings and a canvass of
the number of projected issues gave the
Impression that new financing must be
playing an Important part in the money
market for some time to come. The per
sistent strength in the foreign exchange
market was an Indication that further ex
ports of gold might be a feature of next
week's markets. The heavy volume of
merchandise Imports at the port of New
York and the coming maturity of corpora
tion note issues of which large portions are
held abroad explain this movement. The
bank statement showed the cash decreased
limited to about $1,000,000 and the loan in
creases apparently due to taking over of
loans from the trust companies. The fea
ture of the statement was the heavy con
traction of $1,206,600 in the circulation
item.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $1,286,000. United States 2s and 8s
advanced and the 4s percent in the
bid price on call this week.

CATTLE While several cars of cattle
were reported in this morning there wore
not enough to make a market, prices to
day being nominally steady with yetler
day. For the week receipts have been
very much larger than for sonic time back,
as well as showing a heavy Increaso over
the corresponding week of Inst year.
While beef steors opened rather weak on
Monday, the market on Tuesday and
Wednesday advanced rapidly, prices on the
latter day especially being wildly hl.-rher.
As It became apparent that the weik's
run would be so large: buyers naturally
took the bear side on Thursday and Friday
and .pounded prices to the best of their
ability. While they succeeded in wiping
out a good share of Wednesday's advance,
still at the close of the week beef steers
are around 10loo higher than last week
and" 'the highest tnat they have been for a
long time back.
Cows and heifers participated In the
sharp advance on Tuesday and Wednesday,
and they also folt the slump on Thursday
and Friday. Still they are at the close of
the week In most cases as much as 1015c
higher than last week. Considering that
the big end of the receipts changed hands
before the .break took place, the market
has been very favorable to sellers.
It Is a difficult matter to say how much
higher strictly good to choice fleshy feed
era are, but it Is safe to quote an advance
of at' least 1520c on that kind. Feeder
buyers paid from $6 on up as high as $6.40
for choice westerns carrying considerable
flesh to be taken back into the country
and finished. The general run of fair to
medium feeders have commanded good,
firm prices all the week, and the same Is
true of fleshy yearlings. On the other
hand common and thin yearlings are lOfi'loc
lower than last week.

HOGS Only eighty loads were posted
this morning and actual supply proved to
be little different from the estimate. Moat
of the local concerns ruul good orders to
fill, howover, and there was a fajr degree
of activity to the trade from the opening.
Under the stimulating Influence of a
brisk demand and light receipts, prices
were marked up In both divisions and
practically everything sold readily at the
Improved figures. Most loads changed
hands at a nickel advance as compared
with yesterday's average market, although
there were a few scattered sales that looked
to be no better than yesterday's best time.
Quality of offerings, as a rule, was not aa
good as yesterday, a big slice of, Ihe run
consisting of mixed butcher hogs.
A wide spread of $9. 20'.). 35 bought up a
considerable portion of receipts as com
pared with yesterday's bulk of $9.15)9.30.
Tops reached $9.40, the same aa yesterday.
Today's advunce, of course, brings the
average cost up to a new high point and
the top as well Is the highest in the his
tory of the trade at this point.
For the week supply shows a dnclded
shrinkage as compared with last week's
liberal run, the decrease amounting to an
odd 12,000 head. Both local and shipping
orders were unusually liberal at the open
ing and prices advanced sharply during the
first three days. Some weakness was ap
parent Thursday owing to heavy receipts
and a more or less contracted shipping
outlet, but any loss on that 3"v ha more
than been regained. Current prices are
prtty close to Sue higher than a week ago.

SHEKP The market was practically bare

on a Saturday and values remained nomi
nally steady.
Supply for the week shows a decrease of
5.000 or S.OuO head as compared with last
week's run, but what receipts have lacked
In numbers they have more than made up
in quality. More finished rlaxsea" of botn
sheep and Iambs were received during the
last few days than during any week since
the opening of the fed Heuaon. Packers

Killers have wanted good material at all

and yearlings was especially urgent and
prices soared to the highest levels ever

ewns topped at $7 20. with several bunchea
going at $7 00 and better. Wethers have
been In rather limited supply, the best kind

Bohemians for
Recognition as
aepariue Kacc
Protest Against Being; Listed in Com
ing Census Under Head of
"Austrian."
.
CHICAGO. Feb. 26. -In the last f .if i
much excitement has been caused am
nofrfe
Hthemlans In the United States by the
statement of Mr. Hotchklss, census man
ager for the First district of Illinois, that
In accordance with the derision of congress
to Indicate political Instead of racial di
visions In the next federal census, they are
to be designated as Auatrlans Instead of
Bohemians. The Bohemian congressman,
Mr. A. J. Sabath, was almost burled under
telegrams from all parts of the United
States protesting against such a course.
A great number of Bohemians In tne
United States are naturalized cltizrns or
citizens by birth, the rest having made at
least their declarations of Intention to be
come citizens. Having thus renounced for.
ever all allegiance and fidelity to the em
peror of Austria, they cannot, of course,
recognize the political adherence so re
nounced. They acknowledge, only the racial
division, because they keep In sacred re
membrance their old country, with it
great history and with Its literature and art
of high standing, is their pride, In the
same manner as the Irish In the United
States always remember their native land.
Being exclusively Americans of Bohemian
origin, they never want to be called Aus
trlans. The Austrian monarchy was born from
the ruins of the old German empire only
100 years ago. Originally in the middle
ages there existed only little of tha Mar
gravate of Ost-Mark and a few Alpine
dukedoms which were nearly lost sight
of In the splendor of their neighbor, the
kingdom of Bohemia. The Introduction of
tho Hapsburg dynasty In 12S2 united tho. j
Austrian territory, but still for a long time '
this Austria was without any great hls-
! torlcal significance, because the kingdom
of Bohemia, under Charles IV, In
the times of lius-s:te wars and under George
of Podebrad. absorbed all the attention of
the world. In 1626 Ferdlnend I, archduke
of Austria, as husband of Anna, Bister of
Louis, king of Bohemia, was elected king
of Bohemia, and since then the kingdom
has been under rulers of tho Hapsburg
dynasty. In 1804 Francis II declared him
self emperor of Austria, so that his title
would not be inferior to the Imperial title
of Napoleon I, But until now tho emperor
of Austria has been ruler of Bohemia only
as king of Bohemia. His title contains
expressly this designation. Take, for ex
ample, the treaty between the - United
States and Auatro-IIungary from September
20. 1S70, signed by John Jay on the part of
the United States, which begins with tha
following words: "His majesty, tha em
peror of Austria, king of Bohemia, etc."
The Bohemians never renounced thlr
political Independence, and their rights
hHve been also several times recognized
even by the present emperor. Thus an
Imperial message, addressed to the Diet of
Prague on September 14, 1871, stated that
the sovereign Francis' Joseph I. In con
sideration of the former constitutional po
sition or Bohemia, and remembering t V
power and glory which Its crown had.l
ferred on his ancestors gladly rr
the rights of tho kingdom of Boht
was willing to confirm this state i
taking the coronation oath. From 187 ' '
iivtw i rirnr,ii.u,D ui .OUIiejIllH, HUP1 IHIt-
Ing oath In the Parllument In Vienna,
makes a solemn declaration that he entera
the Relchsrath without any prejudice to
the Czech political view to the effect that
Bohemia, with Moravia and Silesia, con
stitute a separata' state under the rule ot
the same sovereign as Austria and Huor.

Congressman Sabath acted at once tipffn
the protects of his countrymen and got a
firm promise of the census bureau that the
decision of congress which has been arrived
at for the fienefit of the Hebrews will havo
no application to the Bohemians In the
United States. Nevertheless the Bohemians
(Czech) will closely watch the course
of the census and will oppose any attempt
to change them Into "Austrlans."
