Yesterdays stock market began with
e show OF strength and buoyancy, but be-
fore the morning hours were over the
bears had begun their attack again. Third
Avenue was weaker than ever, getting be-
low so for the first time. The steel and
iron securities were all soft" with de-
clines OF one 10 three points, as the net
result Of the day. The railway list gen
orally while declining only fractionally,
was dull and largely without interest.
Discussion of the details of the receiver
ship of the Third Avenue and unpleasant
talk of the possibility of an investigation
for evidences OF criminality in the recent
management of the system, acted as a
bad damper on all the traction securities,
and TO a certain extent on the entire mar
ket. A story that the National SteelTin
Plate Steel Hoop consolidation is not to
take place, and hints of proceedings
against the companies as trusts aided the
bears in the steel stocks. Aside from
these matters there was nothing that
could be construed as bad news and moth
ing that should have checked the upward
tendency OF the market so noticeable on
Wednesday. The news from South Africa
continued excellent, and was received in
London with great jubilation. Its effect
was so great that for the moment II de-
layed speculation, but there is every rea-
son 10 believe that today VIII see good
buying OF American securities for the Lon
don account. A number of January net
earnings statements were received yes
terday, and they were all excellent. The
bear argument that high prices would cut
all the increase out OF net earnings this
year and in most cases make them smaller
than last years, is thoroughly exploded.
The bank statement apparently will be
much Ike that of week ago, not good
one, but careful financial people express
the opinion that the fear of tight money
is without foundation. Wall Street be-
heves that the passage OF the Currency
bill Will flood the market with money at
low rates for long time TO come.
Statements OF net earnings were made
by two more of the granger group. With
that OF Atchison, given out earlier In the

AS already stated in The Times, the Dis
trct Commissioners are in favor of so
amending the police regulations as TO al

of the streets which they cross, instead
of being required TO stop on the near side.

ing TO this end was referred TO the Dis
trict Coroner a few days ago, that official
recommending the change in the most
positive terms.
The Coroner cited five deaths caused by
the cars at street crossings. and declared
his belief that three of them were due to
the present practice. Since then the COM
missionefs have had the matter under con
sideration, and two OF the three-Commis-
sioner Wight and Captain Beach-haye al
ready passed upon the question in favor of
the change. Commissioner Ross has the
matter under Amusement, and while no
less favorably inclined TO the proposition
than his colleagues, he feels the need of
acting with caution.

WINTER WHEAT PROSPECTS.
February Report of the Weather
Bureau,


The climate and crop division Of the
Weather Bureau, in its winter wheat report
for February, says:
The absence of snow protection over
the principal winter wheat States during
the greater part Of the month, with alter
nate freezing and thawing leaves wheat as
a whole at the close Of February in much
less favorable condition than It the end of
the preceding month. The reported condi-
ton of the crop at the end of February is,
however, generally satisfactory In most
sections outside of the Middle States, Ohio,
Michigan, and portions of Indiana, Mis-
souri,, and Kansas.
In Michigan and Ohio MANY repcrts OF
winter killing are received. Indicating a
more unfayorabie condition than at any
tine during the winter On the north
Pacific Coast favorable reports are re
ceiyed from Washington. Oregon. and
northern and central California, although
the crop in eastern Washington Sustained
some injury as q result OF the cold at the
close CT the month.
In southern California, where there has
been an almost total absence OF rafn, the
crop, especially the early sowni is suffering
seriously nom drought.

offerings keep small. There has been some
slight Improvement in the shipping bust
ness today, helped possibly by the new
low rates, which have been made by the
eastbound railways. Todays sales here
are at least 250.000 bushels. The business
to New England or to interior points will
probably be helped by this open reduc-
ton. Liverpool was 1-Sd higher. Seaboard
clearances were 343, GOO bushels. Liverpool
stock, only 1850. 900 bushels, decreased for
the month almost million bushels. There

the oats shipper. Receipts were 100 cars,

ances were 900 bushels.
The selling of a long line Of ribs for

visions early, from which the market re-
acted sharply or buying. led by packers,
together with good general demand. and
the closing was firm, ribs and lard show
ing a fair advance. The cash trade con-
tinues good, and this ard the light stocks

WOMEN VOTERS IN THE WEST

1t is estimated that IS, 900 women voted
tin Denver, Col, for Presidential electors.
Undoubtedly the result in the State is due
to the ballots of women. They were
courteously received at the polls and their
presence had good effect.
There were clubs of Democratic and
Republican women, and through the cam
paign they made speeches, house-to-house
canvasses and generally worked along the
same lines that men do. In many cases
women took opposite sides from their
husbands.
Besides the 5000 ballots cast by
women in Colorado it is estimated that
81 900 voted in Utah, II, 800 in Idaho and
$500 in Wyoming. This represents
about 40 per cent. Of the total vote.

A sIAMESE VIEW OF WESTERN CIVIL
IZATI0N

To see ourselves as others see us is a
good thing sometimes, even if the view
taken is scarcely a pleasant one. The
latest criticism of Western civilization by
an Eastern observer is therefore interest
ing if unpalatable. 1t comes in the shape
of an article in the Paris Figaro from the
pen of Prince Inkanthor, the heir to the
throne of Cambodia, French Protector
ate in Indo- China adjoining Burmah and
Siam. The Prince holds that European Col
onial policy must of necessity be pad, since
Europeans know. nothing of the people
they claim to civilize and govern. with
us, he says, call can live by the least ex-
penditure of effort, while in European
civilization the contrary appears to be the
case" He admits the splendor of the
Paris Exhibition, but finds the pleasure
off marred by "the struggle for existence
witnessed amongst the workmen."
He admits the splendor of the Paris
Exposition, but is not blind to the misery
on which luxury rests.
81 shall carry with me the most painful
memories of your civilization, yonr enor-
nous workshops, your suburbs of work.
men, and all your miseries. Among your
liberties, which are your glory, it seems to |
me that many of you possess above all the |
liberty to die of hunger. Your political |
are manifestations of de-
structive genius. They do not constitute |
progress, but disorganization and ruin"
Prince Inkanthor admits being much |
struck by the evidence of destructive
genius at the exhibition, but he adds
''if we ask the protection of your
armies, we do not require your admins
tration any more than your civilization" !"
He winds up by stating that all colonial
emnires have fallen because the coloniz- |
ing Powers have desired slaves and SUBJ
jects instead of allies"
