NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Trading ap-
preached near the level of stagnation
in the stock market today. 1t was not
until the last half-hOur of the session
that the first sale in either Sugar or
Manhattan was recorded. Up to that
time there had been only one or two
transactions in United States Steel.
The movement of prices in such a mar
ket can have little significance unless
Of q negative character.
The selling pressure which was not
able yesterday was relaxed today, and
there was even some evidence of sup
port here and there. especially. in the
Gould group, in which Wabash pre-
ferred was lifted nearly point. Cen
eral Electric rose further on alleged ex-
pectations of benefits to stockholders
to accrue from the purchase of the
Stanley Electric company, perhaps by
new stock subscription rights. Ameri-
can Smelling advanced an additional
"a, with intimations that the i'm
prOvement in the silver market was to
the advantage of the company. The
signing of the protocols for the sub
mission of the Venezuelan vote to The
Hague arbitration court was cited as
reason for some of the buying.
Erie Liquidation Checked.
The liquidation of the Erie seems to
the new convertible bonds when and
where issued at 80, as compared with
the proposed issue price to stockhold-
ers at 81 1-2.
Prices receded fraction on the ap-
pearance of the bank statement, but
the market steadied again. The loan in
crease Of 81, 274,000 is not excessive
compared with other years in the cor
responding week. It is believed that
some of the borrowing has been for the
purpose Of repaying foreign obiga
tions, which can now be done to adj
vantage. The surplus of $15,529,57
compared with $13,560,850 at this time
last year, and $12,S52,450 two years
ago.
The movement of bond prices has
been irregular this week, and the prin-
cipal activity has been in speculative
issues. The large dealings in st. Louis
& San Francisco fund As were attribut-
ed to the dissolution Of the underwrit-
ing syndicate. United States IS, cou-
pons and new As, registered, declined
IA, the old as, IL, and the Is / is,
as compared with the closing call Of
last week.

market closed at 76c for May and 1850

Freight Handlers Called Out and Thea1
President Says He Will Give the
Road q Fight.

Chicago June 25.-Chicago and Al
ton freight handlers have been called
out on strike because of the discharge
of two Of their number. Only half Of
them obeyed the summons. Superin-
tendent Jarrett, of the Alton, said Of
the strike: I'VE will not take back the
two men on whose account the st:ike
was called. The places of the strik-
ers will be filled"
"Will there be a general strike In
Chica go?" he was asked. I" think not, y
lie replied, hut it is unsafe to predict.
l believe the men do not want to
strike
President Curran, of the Freight
Handlers union. when seen by re-
porter. declared that he would call out
every f.eight handler on the Alton
system. They have been looking for
a fight" he said. land now am going
to give 1t to them"
There is no question of wages In the
controversy. as less than a month ago
all the roads signed new wage scale
granting the freight handlers a sub
stantial increase In wages Curran
says the men were discharged because
they were labor leaders. The railway
management denies this.

Russia Indirectly Tells tbs President
"Don't You Forward That Petition"

Washington, June 27.-The Russian
government has learned with profound
regret of the intention of the Wash
ingtOn authorities to forward to St
Petersbu. g a petition from United
Statesan Jews relative to Russia's
treatment of her Jewish subjects. 1t
is yet hoped that the United States
will appreciate the Russian view of
the case. The Associated
Press already has stated the Russian
position regarding what is considered
outside interference in the internal af-
fairs of Russia.
That position continues to be held,
and the Associated Press is further
permitted to say that Riddle, the Unit
ed States charge. when lie presents the
petition at the Russian foreign Office
will be received with the same corCial-
ity always accorded United States
envoy. In returning the petition to
Riddle the officials will assure him
that Russia cherishes no i'll will toward
the United States. and that the action
1t takes with respect to the petition
is necessary in view of Russia's un-
alterable policy of ie-raining from in
tie ference i'm the internal affairs of 9th
er powers, and insisting on similar
treatment for itself
The Russian government hopes its
firmness in the matter will not be mis-
understood. but in view of the an
nOuncement of its position weeks ago
is surprised at the developments which
will force reiteration of its views.
1t is believed on good authority that
the majority Of the cabinet is averse
to the petition and will advise Presi-
dent Roosevelt to reconsider his in
tention to send the petition through
our charge d'affaires at ST. Peters
burg. Count Cassini is very active in
the premises, moving, CT course, un-
der directions from his government.
President Roosevelt is firm In the
matter, ant 1t is this that gives i'm
portance to the situation. Hitherto
he has insisted upon carrying out his
own diplomacy when fully convinced
Of the justice Of his cause, even against
the advice # Secretary Hay. 1t can
be said tn: Secretary Hay does not
approve the forwarding of the petition
to st. Petersburg
