Quotations Of Staple Products in the
Leading Markets
stocks and Bonds--New York Financial
Review, Received Daily by Pullen, Crock
er & Co.
NEW YORK. Sept. "a.

The market today relapsed into weakness
which was even more general than on the
day when the grangers broke after 1.-THE re-
duction il Rock Islands dividend. There
was no evidence of important liquidation
but the efforts of the bears met with little
organized resistance. The change in specu-
latiye temper was due to unfayorable rum
ors regarding the probable future dividend
policy of several of the great roads while
the fresh depression in wheat called re-
newed attention to the unfortunate agli-
cultural situation. The view of the future
taken by many western railroad men and
grain operators is certainly pessimistic and
probably the conditions governing traf1c
appear with exaggerated force to them.
Nevertheless the evident serious shortage
in corn crop, the disappointing continuance
of low prices for such staples as wheat and
cotton and the doubts entertained respect
ing the ultimate operations of the new
tariff law are the elements which should
receive careful consideration. 1t is gene
rally hoped that the revivalsin manufaot
ufes now under way and the recent i'm
proyement in trade will tend to offset the
effect of deficient crops and low prices of
products. But this is question to be de-
tefInlueu ny IubuFo FailfOau returns ana
unless it becomes evident that more en-
couraging progress is to be made in earn
ings the broadening of the security market
is more unlikely. The sentiment of many
shrewd and prominent traders is Gbearish
and it has ruled to the creation of heavy
short interest in the market. Holders
show a tenacity in clinging to their stocks
an their attitude enbamasses the success
+fx,,. e., i
ton seems likely to exhibit irregularity
and nervousness until settled situation
is developed and we are inclined to ex-
pect no important movements at present
except rallies when the market is oversold

A PROTECTION BILL
Such a Tariff Measure May Be Finally
Reported to the Senate.
THERE WILL BE CHANGES, AT LEAST
While the Income Tax Will Carry, the
Whisky Bonded Period Will Be Ex-
tended and Free List Curtailed.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 10.-The develop
ments of today's work in the senate
finance subcommittee indicate that the
income tax will carry, the whisky bonded
period be extended two years longer,
and the free list much curtailed. The
committee has had in view protection
bill which will meet the revenue require
ments and prevent another resort to a
bond issue. Pursuant to this purpose
there is little doubt that the committee
has concluded to retain the income tax
and place a duty on sugar. The Louis
lana senators are so urgent in their de-
mands that the committee will find it
difficult to refuse to report favoring a
duty on sugar. The committee is con-
sidering the probability that some
changes will be insisted upon before the
house will agree to the senate bill, and
is shaping the bill accordingly. The
whisky men are working hard for an
extension of the bonded period and are
likely to succeed. The chances are the
tax will remain at the figure in the
present bill or at most not above $40.

it on steamboat Among the passen-
gers was a man who had a black rat
tlesnalze in a box with a glass top
The snake was very vicious one and
would strike the glass whenever any
one approached. The owner of the
reptile challenged anyone in the crowd
to hold his finger on the glass and
let the snake strike at it. There could
not be any danger and there was not
man who did not think it an easy thing
to do. One big fellow, who looked as
if he never knew what nerves were,
tried it first, and, after repeated at
tempts, gave it up. Then every pas
senger on the boat attempted it, and
failure followed in each case. 1t sim
ply could not be done. Instinct was
stronger than reason and will power
