NEW YORK, February 2O.-rhe course
OF prices in today's stock market reflected
the same lack OF conviction which has
characterized the trading throughout the
week. Many traders hesitated to sell
stocks. but were equally unwilling to buy.
There are too many important transactions
pending to admit of accurate Interpretation
since majority OF them are novel and all
have an important bearing the future OF
the security markets.
The steel consolidation Is extremely
vague. in the matter OF immediate conse-
quences. even upon the eve of the detailed
announcement The preferred stocks OF the
older companies are apparently in firm
position, and from usually reliable sources
comes the announcement that the common
shares will be handled In a manner entire
~ equitable. The daily trading shows q
marked preference for the preferred shares
and only an Indifferent inquiry for the
common.
There is nothing definite to go on. and
been discounted to the profit of either ac.
count for the simple reason that there has
never been billion-dollar operation to
pattern after The announcement may fall
nat IN speculative sense but its influence

Inc resignation OF President Perkins OF

Rock Island and Atchison were adversely
influenced by the published reports Of A
clash with Union Pacific In the matter of
southwestern extension.
1t would seem unlikely that the several

are the Keynote to unprecedented pros.
perity. Union Pacific cannot antagonize
either OF the properties mentioned without
reckoning with a powerful eastern combis
nation.
The immediate effect. however. was to
make Rock Island somewhat conspicuously
heavy, while Union Pacific was one of the
strongest features OF the day. Minneapolis
and st. Louis gave evidence OF new buy.

Loneliness and Health.

"A medical journal has of late been
discoursing on the indigestion of lone
illness. By this title is meant to be in
Dictated the disorders of digestion which
are believed to follow the practice of
taking ones meals in solitary state.
The topic is by no means an uninter-
esting one. Thousands of men and wo-
men living alone are compelled to take
their meals for the most part without
company. Week in and week out they
feed themselves without soul to talk
to, and the medical journal devotes it's
energies to showing that the practice
is not one that is likely to be conducive
to digestion, to proper bodily nourish-
ment or to health. The solitary man
soon tires of merely eating, and, if he is
not of a literary turn of mind, his tend
ency is to hurry through his meals to
escape from his loneliness into the So
ciety of his fellow men. Herein, it is
held, lies danger to health.

Pound FOOIfahnesR.

One of the cOmmOnest forms of pound
foolishness is countenanced by many
high authorities. This is the purchase
of certain household provisions in large
quantities. Few writer's on domestic
topics fail to lay stress upon the econ
Omy of buying groceries in bulk. That
sugar and -four, potatoes and apples
should be bought by the half or whole
barrel, cereals by the case, butter by
the tub and other things in like proper
ton is one of the early precepts in the
Young Housekeeper's Complete Guide
to Domestic Economy"
The ignorant young things buy the
provisions first and the experience aft
erward. The -four grows musty, the
cereals develop weevils, the potatoes
and apples rot long before they can be
eaten, and the cook exercises a lavish
ness in the use of the butter and sugar
she would never show were they bought
in such limited amounts that the house
keeper could hold close watch over
them. Even after these events the
young mistress feels as if she were alb
solutely reckless and no manager at all
when she so far departs from house
hold law as to buy food in small guam
tities.-Independent.

,hnnge to Change a Quarter.


GLOW much does it take to change a
uuarter?" asked the bartender. '"Twen-
ty-five cents, Ell? Not ON your life. 1t
takes seventy cents to do the trick.
How many ways do you suppose a
quarter dcllar can be changed? Just
exactly eleven. A fellow of limited
means may like the jingle of coin in
his clothes. In that event you can give
him twenty-five pennies or twenty pen
MES and one nickel. He may like to
have a little sprinkling of silver in his
clothes, and you can accommodate him
with fifteen pennies and dime or ten
pennies, a dime and a nickel
eff he prefers to have change handy
for a beer and a car fare, why, fifteen
pennies and two nickels will fix him
up, and if he wants a cigar in addition,
besides having a little stock of cash
in his jeans, give him ten pennies and
three nickels. That makes six ways.
Now, then, fellow with a quarter can
trade it off for five pennies and two
dimes, five pennies and four nickels,
two dimes and one nickel, one dime
and three nickels or five nickels, just
as he prefers. And to accommodate
him in any way that he might select
you have to possess twenty-five pen
MES, two dimes and five nickels-sev-
enty cents in all. "-Philadelphia Rec
