NEW YoRK sTocK MARKET.

New York. Feb 11.-With an abund-
ance of money to be had at cheap rates,
and eagerly seeking an outlet for eXpen-
diture. the trading on the Stock EN-
change continues to be confined to al
most insignificant proportions aud was
further restricted to-day owing TO the
fact that tomorrow will be a holiday on
the Exchange Aside from the dealings
of the professional element, the country
seems to be waiting for Improvement in
the general trade situation. A number
Of depressing influences combining as
was the case to-day is sufficient to put
a stop almost entirely to speculation.
Much more than half the declines were
again confined to the industrials shares
which invite manipulation by their sensi-
tiveness to the prevailing antitrust SEN
timent as reflected in the acts of the leg
islative bodies. The market was heavy
and dropping almost throughout the day
under the combined influence of the re-
1ected uneasiness in London and on the
Continent over the threatened rupture
between Turkey and Greece over Crete.
The industrials showed a tendency to
advance at times to-day partly on COW
ering by shorts, sugar at one time raj
lying TO 11215, but later yielded again to
the persistent hammering of the bears
and sold off; rubber declining IL and
rubber preferred 2A, the other industri
ais reacting in sympathy. A raid on the
general list in the closing hour reduced
the price of sugar rs, and leather, pre-
ferred, 19s, from the high price Of the
day. The group showed net declines on
the day. The general list also showed
a fractional decline, though there were
elements of resistance among the rail-
ways. These rose early in the day but
fell on heavy London selling
One of the strong factors in the pres
ent outlook is the ready absorption Of
State and municipal bonds, which have
recently been floated by syndicates. 1t
is an evidence of the plentitude of capital
awaiting secure investment
The general closing OF to-day's market
was generally weak and about the lowest
of the day.
The bond market displayed heaviness
on decreased transactions which were
largely confined to the low priced mort
cages
Governments were more active and
sagged generally on realizations The
inquiry for these securities, emanates
principally from banks and individual
capitalists who are unable to seek en-
ployment for their surplus funds in the
stagnant stock speculation The sales
aggregated $130,000.
Silver certificates were dealt in. after
a long period Of neglect, at 64at for
10000 ounces.

Lady street, the engineer discovered lot Of
cars on the track, only short distance ahead
of him. He applied the air brakes in an in-
slant, reversed bis engine and then jumped to
save himself The momentum of the heavy
train was 90 great that it could not be stopped
in short distance, and the engine crashed
into the line of cars breaking off the pilot
and doing other damage to the front portion.
Engineer Murrel did everything possible to
stop bis train and then leaped for bis life just
before the crash came BE escaped unhurt
Engineer Murrell knows what a collision
means, and has stopped taking any chances.
he was one Of the engineers in the big wreck

self with great directness and vigor, relative
to the annoyances that are visited upon a
