at least thirty-five miles an hour,
while the other had attained speed
equaling fifteen miles an hour The

uine market, especially for securities.

BILE strength Of conditions or an en-

most active railroad stocks, which

have never fallen since that date
lower than $40. SO, nor risen above
$50. IS per share.
The Industrials all report a slightly
lower range of prices, except for iron
and steel products. Prices of wool
have declined an average of. "a per
cent within the month of February,
presumably because of the failure of
the proposed tariff bill, which included
duties on wool. Reports are frequent
that many of the largest mills are
about to stop production for time,
in order to give the market opportun-
ity to clear itself.
Speculation in breadstuffs has not
been particularly active, nor has the
change in prices been important.

MRS. Booth and myself have not
come here tonight to allude to the re-
