Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, February 2S-The trading
In today's stock market was of Insignificant
volume and entirely devoid Of new incentive.
Traders sold stocks from time to time In
the hope Of getting them back at a lower
level as the result Of the extreme dullness.
The larger pools did little and there was a
general air Of Indifference in all parts of
the street.
Wire service is still badly crippled, and
both news and out-of-town orders are han
died with considerable delay. The lack Of
real business was clearly shown by the fire.
quent periods Of absolute stagnation.
The prospects for tomorrow's bank state
ment being helpful are not considered good,
and buying orders were Cancelled in numer-
Gus instances.
At the declines prices held Well, and there
was no liquidation beyond the occasional
tightening Of speculative accounts. The
Willingness to permit declines was about
the only novel development of the day.
This uncOnCern as to the immediate fluc-
tuations was most pronounced in stocks
Known to have strong pools committed to
the long side.
Pacific sold of easily and there was
STEADY selling in Southern Pacific down to
the lowest price since the announcement Of
the Northern Securities litigation. The
selling in Colorado Southern caused a fur
ther recession in the issues Of that COM
pany, but the holdings thus marketed were
mainly for speculative account The group
or spec1alt1es as a whole, reflected a de-
creased interest but there were no indica-
tlons that the advance movements had
been abandoned
Inc coal stocks held indifferently we'll
all OF them showing an absence of a suffi-
c1ent demand to force them into new prom
fnence. The buying of this group on all
concessions is called good.
The steel stocks were strong during the
morning, and the buying was credited to
commission houses Of the semi-investment
class.
Copper shares were dull and irregular,
and there was little desire to buy them at
any advance. The entire market reflects
very clearly the unsettling and disturbing
effect of the proposed antitrust litigation.
The increased earnings promised through
the economies of consultations are threat
ened and very ambitious and cleverly con-
ceived plan for a spring advance has been
overthrown.
The future of the market hinges largely
upon some makeshift which may delay
hostile action or circumvent the existing
law. Good judges are confident that delay
and defeat Is all that impends.

Lodge, Representatives Payne and Dalzell
and Judge Magoon and Col. Edwards of the

long conference yestsrday afternoon on the

learned Of the confefsnce. which was held

lated to the best method Of correcting that
section of the 1ssenebill which practically
provides that aH APPEALS in the cases Of
United States gsods tnported into the Phil
ippines shall bs bssn,adGto the United States
courts, the san4e as p done in the case of
appeals involving imports into the United
States 1t is htateds that the authors Of
the bill intended thatsdisputed questions in
regard to imports into the Philippines
should be adjudieatedSby the courts of the
Philippines and that plan. it Is alleged, is
entirely defeated by the provisions Of the

RIGHTS OF BoNDsMEN.
Decision Regarding sureties of the
Late Contractor Jacoby.

Late Contractor Jacoby.
Controller Tracewell has rendered an
opinion on the following Communication
from the District Commissioners:
Mr.. John Jacoby was contractor for the
grading Of Joliet street under contract with
the District of G olumbia. No. 2921 He has
since died. His executors renounce their
executorship, aeavi1n the contract in the
status of defat i. work is of great i'm
portancs. and, in th Judgment of the Com
missioners. should d promptly prosecuted
to completion. n
THE COMMISSIONERS desire to know
whether they would be authorized to ac-
cept the propositioa of the bondsmen to
complete the Work hder an agreement to
be made by which latter shall receive,
IN aaahlon 70 Che aMounts hereafter 10 oe
earned under the contract, the amounts
already due and unpaid for work done un-
der said contract; or whether 1t Is neces-
sary to readvertise and relet the work to
the lowest bidder"
The controller passes upon the inquiry as
follows:
In this state Of case, the personal repre-
sentative Of Jacoby has exactly the same
right to go ahead with the work under the
terms of the contract as Jacoby would
have If he were in full life. and no more
right; suffering the same penalties IN case
you nave not exercised your authority to
rescind and relet as would Jacoby himself
II he were completing in person the con-
tract.
If the estate Of Jacoby refuses to COM
plete the work under the terms OF the
contract and you fail to exercise your right
to rescind and relet the contract, then the
suret1es OF Jacoby have exactly the same
right to complete the work under the terms
and limitations of the contract as mad
Jacoby If he had lived, or as has his per-
sonal representative.
'You would have no authority to pay
Jacoby or his estate the retained percent
ages until the completion and acceptance
OF this work, nor have you any authority 10
pay his suretieS any such retained per-
centages until the completion and accept
ance Of the entire work. If you ever nave
authority to pay them such retained per
centages."
The controller also says:
This may seem to be hard rule but 1t
Is the only one that affords protection TO
the government or the District. 1t ire
quently happens that it is only at the end
of long and expensive litigation between TIE
sureties on bonds who complete the work
o. their principals, with such principals or
their estates, that it is known to whom be-
longs the proceeds Of such work.
However, the bondsmen are not without
remedy They may go into court aid
have these equities adjusted and ascer-
tained and then we can safely pay undcr
the order of the court. If this Is not sat
isfactOry to them they may refuse to com
plete the work and then the goVernmellt
will rescind and relet. This action would
hold the bondsmen liable to make good 20
the government all damages sustained on
account of such reletting. They are free
to bid at such reletting and can, therefore,
fully protect themselves SO far as the la"
gives them protection
