Foreigners to AmericuS.

The arrival in Americas of carload
of Russians andsItalians to take the
place of the striking machinist and
boiler makers in the Seaboard railway
shops in that city was unexpected,
and was surprise to the strikers,
though the men declare the. imported
!aborcrs are not qualified for the work
required, and declare the movement
will amount to nothing.
The railway officials and Pinkerton
detectives rushed the imported non
unionists into the company's shops,
where they are quartered, and the
company provided bedding and cooking
utensils. 1t is said that none of the
foreigners speak English. The strik,

ever, and will lay their grievances be-
fore the general meeting of Americas

this is not probable. 1t is possible, for

RULED BY IRREGULARIFY
The Markets Uncertainty Due TO
Professional Operations.
Light Trading in Many Usually
Prominent shares One of the Days
Features - Delaware and Hudson

of the UnfavornbIe Bank Statement

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The stock market
displayed considerable irregularity today,
which was partly attributable to opera
tons by the professional traders to en-
phasize their expectations of an unfa
yorable bank statement
Counter influences included a higher
market for American railway securities
in London and improved financial condi-
lions at that centre and in the domestic
market further developments of strength
in some of the hish-priced investment
shares. notably Delaware and Hudson and
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy.
The first mentioned stock scored a fur
Their advance of points, closing at the
highest figure. The dealings in il were
comparatively large and were accompa

the company had been secured by New
York Central interests on a substantial
dividend guaranteed.
Opening prices we're in the main above
Fridays closing figures, and in many
cases fairly spirited tendency toward
improvement was discernible. Selling by
the traders, however, soon caused recess
sions. their operations being favored to
an extent by uncertainty regarding the
outcome of litigation in opposition TO the
acquisition OF the Guggenheim properties
by the American Smelling and Refining
Company.
After the publication of the bank state
ment, the market became decidedly irreg-
ular. A feature of the market was the
very light trading in a number of the
usually prominent shares. In the ordi
nsrily active railway list the only stock
in which there was noteworthy activity
was Chics %, Burlington and Quincy,
which, on transactions of little less than
100, 900 shares recorded an extreme i'm
provement of 3-S per cent. At a slight
recession from the highest price, the stock
left of at a net improvement of 1 as per
cent.
Usually active stocks that received only
moderate attention but closed a point or
more lower than yesterday included
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Union Pacific
common, Reading second preferred and
ST. Paul.
The iron and steel stocks were only
moderately dealt in and closed at recess
sions extending 10 is in Federal Steel

group are likely to profit especially by

near future. The plan started with this

consideration of this figure will show how
important it will be to the anthracite Sc

is an example of what can be done with
a stock when conditions are favorable.

A temporary injunction was placed on
the Shelters Company yesterday against
the issuance of the new stock necessary
to the completion of the deal with the
Guggenheimer people. People who have
been well informed regarding the affairs
of the company do not attach much impor-
lance to the matter, and are talking most
hopefully regarding the outlook for both
the common and the preferred securities
of the company.
The earnings of the Northern Pacific for
the first week OF February show an in
crease of 1000. The Pacific securities
are among those that the bears have been
picking out for a big slump in the imme-
date future. If their information is as
good regarding these stocks as 1t has been
regarding Burlington it seems probable
that new high prices will be reached by
them before the end OF February. 1t is
interesting to note that the St. Paul deal,
which was given up two weeks ago. is not
