tors contributed to an early advance in
prices Initial impulse came from the
London market where prices advanced
on the cheerful feeling engenderd by
the forward movement of British
troops in South Africa. London was a
buyer here at the opening, but the de-
mand from that source was satisfied
with the taking of $4,000 to 10000
shares. The iron and steel group ad-
vanced in company in the morning I'M
der the active bidding up OF professional
traders American Steel and Wire ris-
ing to within fraction of sixty. Ten
nessee Coal rose an extreme IA. The
impulse to these stocks came from the
allegations contained in pending law
suit regarding the enormous profits of
the steel trade for the. past year. and
assertions of the likelihood Of still
larger returns for the current year. The
strength in Sugar was based upon
rather vague rumors. of coming adj
vance in the price Of the product, and
resumption Of operations by refineries
recently closed down. But the strength
from these causes was not well main
tanned in face Of the apathy of the de-
mand and the notable weakness in
some special stocks. A break of ga
in Third avenue was due to the an
nouncement by a banking house of its
withdrawal of a proposed loan to this
company This caused sharp sympa-
thetic declines in the other local trac-
ton stocks, the iron and steel stocks
and Sugar and in fact unsettled the
whole list Railroad stocks lost their
early gains, but became dull and not
ably firm near to last nights level Of
prices. All reports continue to reflect
high level of prosperous business activ-
ity and an unprecedented level Of rail-
road earnings But this very activity
in business arouses question whether
the prosperous use Of money thus in
volved is not likely to deplete the sup
ply of funds available for speculative
purposes. No better explanation has
been found of last weeks enormous
loan expansion than the demand for
mercantile uses which is known to be
on very large scale. Rates for call
loans still continue easy, but only the
choicest grades Of mercantile paper can
be placed now as low as per cent,
5 per cent. Time loans for sixty days
are also in large demand at 1-2 per
cent. The sub-treasury has already alb
sorbed over $1600,0O0 from the market
this week and the course Of New York
exchange at interior points gives little
hope Of any gain in cash from those
sources. Taking into account the re-
cent tendency towards large expansion
of loans, a further large inroad upon
surplus reserves is regarded as inevita-
BILE in the coming bank statement
Bonds continued on a fairly large
scale in point Of business and price
changes were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $2135,O00.

FOR JouRNEYMEN PLUMBERS.

| A Movement on Foot for an Ordinance
Requiring Them to Procure Licenses.
There will be introduced into the COM
mon council soon an ordinance provid-
ing for the licensing Of journeymen
plumbers. This matter has been under
consideration by, many OF the plumbers
of the city for some time and the evil
effects of allowing incompetent men to
go about the city doing plumbing work
have been frequently brought to their
attention until at last some regulation
of the matter is considered advisable.
The majority of the cities of the coun-
try already have ordinances requiring
journeymen to secure licenses before
they are allowed to do plumbing work
and 1t Is now thought to be high time
that like action was taken here.
Aside from the fact that much defic-
tive plumbing Is liable to result from
allowing the work to be done by unli
censed workmen, there is also the objec-
tion--a strong one to regular plumbers
that men who are machinists or of a
natural mechanical bent are permitted
to do odd jobs at plumbing during the
hours when they are not employed at
their regular vocations, thus taking con-
siderable work from plumbers by
trade.
The ordinance which is to be present.
ed will probably include provisions for
the establishment of commission to
examine applicants for licenses and to
issue licenses.
The master plumbers are already re-
quired to have licenses and to secure
them must pass examinations which are
purely theoretical. The movement now
on foot contemplates for journeymen
plumbers an examination not only in
theoretical branches Of their work, but
also a practical test. The ordinance
will probably include provision for a
small fee of one dollar or two dollars
for a license, the license to hold good
for year and to require renewal each
year.
One of the movers in the matter is
Councilman James K. Rowland and it
is probable that he will, at the request
of others interested in the adoption of
the ordinance, present it to the common
council.

"soGGY" Il SANDERS
GREAT

"Soggy" Sanders, a noted full blood
Cherokee, who has held office ever since
he was old enough, talks the English
language brokenly, When United
States Senators Jones of Arkansas and
Platt, of Connecticut, were here at Tar
lequah about eight years ago, investi-
eating and looking into Indian mat
tiers, they held a meeting in the opera
house and made speeches to the Chero-
kee Senators and Councillors, advising
them to take their lands in severalty
and change their manner of government
to become Territory or State of. the
Union. They also told the indians that
the Dawes Commission would soon be
down among them to treat for some
changes the Federal Government de-
sired in the Indian Territory; that they
came among them as friends to advise
them for their best interests.
After they had finished their talks
"Soggy," who was an attentive listener
for their remarks had been interpret
ed into Cherokeen by an interpreter
"Soggy" arose slowly and in very dig
nified and courteous manner said he
would like to make a few remarks.

to hear him. Said Sanders:
"Yesh, it is great frien's-all time
good frien' to Injun is white man, when
he want it some mo- Injun Ian. White
mans who jus talk put me in min Of
a story l once heard it, Man goih to

said it dat lawyers, and he gave it dat
lawyers moneye-$1,000 Den dat law
yers he tell 1t dat prisoner: You go
shoot it yourself in bed. OATS what
white mans want it here now--he want
it Chuluckee Injun to kill hisse'f.'

down the house, and the staid old Unit

THE COLLEGE BONE MAN.

Two young men who must have been
medical students, boarded an Angora
car late Sunday night with a fully
articulated skeleton, whose bones rat
tied somewhat greweemely as they
walked to the forward end of the car
and gravely seated themselves with
them. Between the grinning teeth of
the skeleton was a cigarette and a
derby hat adorned it's shining skull The
car was rather crowded, and the other
passengers gazed in open mouthed as
tonishment at the strange spectacle.
The two young fellows, however, pre-
tended to be unconscious of their sur
roundings, and held such converse with
the skeleton as, TOO bad you didn't
wear your macintosh, Bill. I'm afraid
you'll catch cold' Or Say. Bill, bet
ter throw away your cigarette or the
conductor will put you off"
When the conductor came through for
the fares one of the young men handed
him Is cents, and he rang up three fares
without a word of comment At Six
teenth street, Il young girl entered the
car and looked around for seat Here,
Bill" exclaimed one of the students,
where's your gallantry? Get up and
give the lady a seat" Then he yalked
the skeleton out of it's place and set 1t
on his knees The girl gave a screech,
fled to the back platform and insisted
that the conductor stop the car and put
her off. Gee! BILL remarked the stu
dent, gazing reproachfully into the
skeletons face, you've deteriorlf ID
You used to be quite a lady's man"
Then everybody laughed.-Philada LA

Doubtful and CONFLICTING Speculative
Opinion Over Outlook foG Erisss.
New York, Feb 15.-The movement
of prices in the stock market to-day
reflected very clearly the doubtful and
conflicting speculative opinion over the
outlook for prices, The opinion reflect
ed was almost wholly that of profess
sional operators in stocks, as they We're
the only ones who took any notable
part in the trading. The general public
persisted in keeping out of the stock

prompted by their disappointment over
the failure of any general demand for

the Meeting to be Held Next Month,
The regular monthly meeting of the
New Haven Business Mems association
was held in the rooms Of the chamber
of commerce last evening. There was a
small attendance, and some business
that was to have been transacted was
postponed until the next regular meet
ing of the association. The minutes Of
the annual meeting were read by the
new secretary, George M Adkins, and
We're accepted.
Communications were then read by
the secretary from men who have been
invited to be present at the annual
meeting of the association to be held on
Tuesday, February a. President John
M. Hall of the Consolidated road, Rev.
DR.. Levi Gilbert and c. C. Shayne, pres
ident of the mercantile and manufact-
urers' board of trade of New York, have
consented to be present, and doubtless
they will be on the toast list. w. Bourke
Cochran of New York and Mayor Dris-
coll have also been invited to be present,
but word from them has not yet been
received The banquet will doubtless be
great success and the committee, con-
ssting of H. A. Linsley, e. l. Atwater,
w. Fl. Hazel, w. J. Wright and F. ].
Earle, is leaving no stone unturned to
make it brilliant event.
Attorney Edwin s. Thomas, counsel
for the association, read his annual re-
port, which showed that during the past
year $3,99261 had been collected The
number of claims settled through the
counsel We're 1856 and on account 1877.
The number of firms making claims
were twenty-five. Attorney Thomas re-
port was accepted by the association.
The question regarding the strengthen
ing of the department of debts and debt
ors was discussed and it was voted to
inform each member with regard to the
Importance and benefit Of the depart
meft 20 that 1t may be strengthened in
the' near future. rt1
The. question of the telephone rates
was then taken up and discussed at
length. Mr.. Judson Mr.. Law and Mr..
Earle were the principal debaters on the
subject, and each expressed opinions ON
why the telephone rates should be re-
duced. No member of the committee
that was appointed to look into the
matter was present last night, so moth
ing of great Importance was said. The
committee Is composed of F. j. Linsley,
e. I. Atwater and M. E. Cosgrove, and
it was understood that their consulta-
ton with the Southern New England
Telephone company would be reported
upon last night.
There was no discussion in regard to
the half holiday that has been proposed
by some local firms and no mention was
made of the proposition of early closing
on Mondays.
: 1t was voted that the matter of the
injustice of the present fares on the
street railroads would be discussed at
the next meeting of the association,

his hand with a gesture which stood for
goodbye"
He had scarcely finished speaking when
a workman who had reached his staging
but who was pulling one of the great
sheets used 10 keep paint from dripping
on the heads of the passengers below,
stepped back too far, and fell sprawling
out of the staging.
Hardly a soul but the porter and the
reporter saw, but their shout turned every
head upward. The man struck across the
three insulated electric light wires some
four feet below the staging and they sag
ged and gave, and then tossed him up
on the return spring almost to the hight
from which he started. The man had
sense enough left to grasp desperately al
the ironwork. and. with the aid of other
men, hauled himself painfully back 10 the
grder.
He had to be helped down after all. and
then il was found the scrapiug and br;iis-
ing would be better attended to in a hos
pital. The emergency received him, and
found Commissions all over his legs and
body with plenty of abrasions where
wire and girder had scraped.
