lows Admiral Dcwey's Gail for
the Oregon at Manila.

New York Feb. 24.-Today's stock mar
ket was made up of number of irregular
movements in special stocks, and the deal
ings at large We're chiefly noteworthy for
the irregularitly and uncertainty of tone
that marked the trading. As was the case
yesterday, the days circumstance fur
nished no direct incentive to specu alive
activity in either direction. At the open
ing of business, indeed. strong tone was
apparent, which was for the most part a
reflection of the advances reported in the
London market for american stocks, but
the noted irregularity soon developed, and
during the remainder of the day the mar
ket was wholly lacking in uniformity OF
movement Notwithstanding its unc 5rtain
tone, the dealings in the market attained
a fairly large total, and were well distrib-
uted. Commission houses did business on
both sides of the account representing out
side business.
AS has been the case for some time the
uncertainty in regard to the showing to be
made by the banks in their weekly state
ment served today to restrict active trad
ing for the long account, and the indus
trial stocks We're the most active features
of the market They We're generally firm.

this division of the market, both advance
ing on representations of favorable trade
conditions, which seem well founded in
fact. In Sugar Refining the erratic move
ments shown reflected on the one hand the
current belief that the dividend next month
would be reduced or passed, and on the
other apprehensions of a characteristic
move against the short interest prior to
the directors meeting. American Tobacco
struck new high level in the forenoon,
but 1t later reacted on profit realizing
sales following the completion of the ar
rangement for the control of the Compel
ing concerns There was also a rapid ad-
vance in Consolidated Gas and Brooklyn
and Union Gas.
Notwithstanding the very encouraging
statement OF earnings made by the St
Paul for the third week of February. the
granger stocks We're barely steady. and
Pacific stocks again reflected almost con-
tinuous, though not urgent, pressure The
anthracite coal shares were also rather

HARD TIMES FOR THE TALENT.

ners in Three Days.
New Orleans, Feb. 2i.-The downfall Of
five favorites and two wins by Dupee, a
colcred jockey, were the features OF to-
days races. 1t is so seldom that negro
! jockey wins here that two in one day for
| one of them causes comment. Dupee,
| Lynch, and Gatewood are the only col
ored boys riding here. and Dupee is the
only one who has any winning mounts to
his credit.
If the favorites keep on going down the
talent will soon be in a state of bank
ruptcy. In the last three days but three
favorites have crossed the wire first. Clay
Pointer was the only one to do the trick
today. Aunt Maggie, in the third, led the
field from start to finish. As good as 10
to / was laid against her. In the second
race the winner turned up in Colonel
Eads, at tai. In the firth race it was

left for the East last night to begin work
at once as jockey in the service of the
Dryers. While here Michael was coached

Edward Hanlon is decidedly in favor Of
the change from 235 TO 2S5 feet as the dis
lance necessary for a home run hit over
fence Said he:
The Boston Club has had a big advantage over
other clubs for years IA that short left field fence.

because Of that fence. People little realize what

uce hundreds Of hours every season irving to put
halls over that short fence. and they have the
trick down fine In number Of close games
have seen them drop flies oycr that fence with
several men On bases that won the game then
and there, when on amy other grounds in the
League the fly would have been easy out for
any good left fielder.

to a permanently higher level. deserved
by their earnings. -.

The American Steel and Wire securities
seem to be of this class. Within the la t
two days they have been marked up in
price rapidly. Both stocks were features
OF the trading yesterday, the common ad-
vancins to 50 1-2 from "a, and the preferred
to SO Ia from 81. This is the first move
ment OF any consequence that has taken
place in the stocks, and the opinion was
expressed in good quarters yesterday that
much higher prices will be attained By
them before the clique behind them has
finished. The company is earning the full
per cent to which the preferred stock is
entitled. and in addition it is estimated
something like per cent on the common
stock. 1t has practical monopoly on the
steel wire business of the country, and an
immense foreign trade. which is growing
all the time. These are the merits of the
company itself as an investment field, and
apparently the showing is an excellent
one. AS to the securities, il cannot be
doubted that the people who now own the
stock intend to sell it to the public at
much higher prices than the present if
possible. They bought it at a low figure,
and wish to float it at a good profit. Up
to the present time the public has not in
vested heavily.

Yesterday witnessed continuance of
the bear raid begun on Thursday. Prices
were sold off consistently and continually
all day short selling and profit taking
combining to force them down all the way
from a fraction to three or four points
At the close there were no Indications
that pointed to turn upward again for
more than short reaction and it is now
the opinion OF some of the best people In
the street that prices may go two or three
points lower. At the beginning of the
movement on Thursday II simply a
bear raid taking advantage of the condi-
ton of the market technically. Yester-
days news from Manila however was
recognized to be an actual disturbing fac
tor, and people who had determined TO
hold stocks against any attack of the
bears. decided when they read Admiral
Deweys telegram to realize on their hold
ings. Despite this fact. however. 1t is not
generally believed that stocks are to have
any very serious tumble. But people will
wait before buying stocks until the actual
condition of affairs in the Philippines be-
comes more clear.
One of the noticeable features of the
decline of the last two days has been the
fact that the standard railroad stocks have
been the ones 10 suffer most, while the
only stocks to make gains have been in
the Industrial group. There are many
people in the street who fit this fact into
the prediction that the industrials will be
active during the coming two months,
somewhat to the detriment of the high
priced railroad stocks. The exact posi-
ton that the securities of the many new
industrial corporations are to take in the
business of Wall Street is as yet matter
of much doubt. 1t is realized that some
of the new trusts are enormously over
capitalized And n further fact which is
to be remembered is that 1t Is difficult to
discriminate between the good properties
and the others that have been created to
get money out of the public on the
strength of the generally growing con-
fidence Past experience has shown con-
clusively that in, a strong bull market.
backed by general prosperity and cheap
money. the public buys the good securi-
ties and the bad indiscrminately. 1t is
good advice not to buy any of the indus
trial stocks Such a course is eminently
safe. and in the long run will prove the
most profitable despite the violent iluc-
tuations upward of this class of securities
at times. But there are undoubtedly good
business propositions among the trusts
lately launched, and there are, without
doubt, some of their stocks that will attain

The situation is without precedent.
Business has never been better on the
whole; in some great industries the gain is
astonishing. Exports surpass last years as
much as imports though the excess over
imports then was heavy. Failures are
smaller than last year and smaller than in
either of six years past. Stocks are
stronger, the average for the active rail-
way securities being a little higher. and
for trusts much more. owing to the ex-
traordinary advance of s4S.75 in Tobacco.
