The Army of Doctors.

According to a writer in Leslie's Month
ly, there are about 100000 doctors in the
United States or about one for every $50
people IT has been approximately esti-
mated that the average yearly income of
these men Is $3.50, or that the public in the
country pays $3.50, 900 annually for med
ical attendance, emitting entirely the
money spent for patent medicines. which
bring millions of dollars to manufacture
ers, or the amount spent for doctors
prescriptions or paid to quacks and COM
mercial doctors. The preparation for the
practice of medicine that gives a man
good standing In the profession means an
expense of, literally speaking, $1,000 for
four years In a reputable medical school,
81, 900 for general expenses during two
years hospital service. and perhaps an
other $1,000 for setting up in practice.
The well known specialist receives some
large prices for his work, but In exactly
the same proportion the value of the time
he gives away is Increased. There proba-
bly, Is not doctor in the country who
makes 100000 regularly every year. those
who make $4,000 are mere handful, and
the average physician, 1t should be re-
membered has an income of $3.50.

BULL LEADER SELLS
COTTON IN PERSON
Market Forced Downward Amid
Sensational Rum0rS
TRADING SOMEWHAT QUIET
The Far Eastern Situation Is Still a
Source of Apprehension Among
Smaller Lones-ciose for
the Day Was Steady.

New York, February 16.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
to 10 points on cable covering and some
buying on the reaction theory that was
encouraged by better cables than expect
ed, and strong buliish advices from the
spot markets and smaller receipts esti-
mated for the day. Following the call,
trading was quiet
There seemed little demand from the big
bulls, and the closing of the New Orleans
market for the Mardi Gras may have
had some effect in curtailing local ac-
tivity. There was some selling for south
ern account, and 1t was reported that
the local bull leader was selling through
brokers, but generally speaking, the mar
ket ruled steady to firm until around
midday, when March was selling at 1890;
May at 1923 and July at "a, showing
net advances of 37942 points.
At this level the local bull leader began
selling in person. the room following;
there was considerable liquidation from
outside sources, and the market was
forced rapidly downward. The decline
was accompanied by rumors of a sensa-
tional character, such as have been cir
culating of late without any apparent
foundation, but which have had no little
influence on market sentiment and before
the decline was checked prices had broken
through the low level of yesterday with
March reaching r. "a, May .66 and July
1916 this being a decline of from So to
IS points from the best of the session, and
a net loss on the options in question of Is
to 10 points.
At this level the local bull leader bought
July, and there was enough room cover
Ing to rally the market from the lowest
The close was steady at an advance OF 8
points to a decline of IA. Sales were esti-
mated at 100000 bales. Port receipts for
the day were only about half of last
years, but interior receipts were very full
the source of considerable apprehension
and the far eastern situation is still
among the smaller longs.
Receipts at all ports today, 1920 bales
against 27422 last week and 33176 last
year. For the week, 10000 against 127, 772

BUSINESS DONE
IN FIRST HOUR
Character of the Stock Market
is Unchanged
TRADERS TAKE PROFITS
Steel Preferred Was Heavy All Day
and Helped to Discourage the
Attempts to Lift
Prices.

New York. February 1.-THE amount
of business done in stocks today was
slightly larger than yesterday, but the
character of the market was unchanged.
All of the increase in business was done
the first hour. The sales in that time
reached almost as many shares as for the
whole day yesterday This was a buying
movement, largely confined to the New
York public utilities, and which was with
out explanation in any news develop
ment.
It was regarded as an effort on the part
of party of traders to awaken the mar
ket into some animation and start
prices to moving. One or two railroad
stocks were included in the movement.
1t failed entirely to attract any following
and was abandoned prices being allowed
to drift slowly back to last nights level.
or below it, when the traders took their
profits.
United States Steel preferred was heavy
at all times, and this helped to discour-
age the attempts to lift prices. The SELL
ing of that stock had no other explana-
ton than the superstition that specula-
tive line was being disposed of. Amalga-
mated copper seemed also to suffer from
some speculative profit-taking, but har-
dened after the announcement OF the
declaration of a dividend Of $40 per share
on Calumet and Heckla, which doubled
the rate declared in the corresponding
period of last year.
Wall street has an abundant supply OF
war news, but the naval activity indi-
Gated IN these market advices seems to
have little effect on prices. The declining
tendency of railroad earnings Is a sub
ject of much discussion. Gross earnings
for the first week in February shows de-
clines in the average, and complaints by
railroad officials of the continued storm
blockades point to the restriction of busi-
ness.
The fact that the decrease from last
years level is more than accounted for
by the decline In the earnings OF the
trunk lines and western railroads. Is a
point in confederation of the contention
that storm blockades are the explanation,
rather than a falling off in available traf-
fc. But the fact that the ratio of the de-
cline in earnings has shown steady pro-
gress since 1t began last summer give
ground to misgivings.
The bond market was exceedingly dull
but quite steady.
Total sales, par value, H,2950OO. United
States bonds unchanged on call.

LOCAL MARKETS.

There was no change reported in spot
cotton yesterday. The market closed quiet
and steady with nothing doing
With few exceptions stocks and bonds
were steady.
Staple groceries are firm with the ex-
ception of dry salt meats which are
quoted * cent lower. All other lines are
steady.
No price changes are noted in fruit and
produce. A fair business was reported
yesterday, with peanuts the feature of
the day. The market was well supplied
Fruits continue active and there was
some game on sale yesterday. There was
nothing of special interest along the ave-
nue.
Eggs closed steady and unchanged at
"a to % cents per dozen. Poultry is a
minus quantity and produce is not espe-
cially active.

Caldwell 6 Wards Cotton Letter.

By Miller & Co.
New York, February 16.-The bears got
in their work in time to have the last
blow at the market during the afternoon,
forcing it down about so points from the
high prices, though 1t closed l to points
above last night. New Orleans is closed
today, due to mardi gras festivities but
there have been some good selling orders
from there and every thing points to
disposition on the part of the bulls both
here and In New Orleans to let the bear
crowd sell themselves into a hole, thus
forming another large short interest so
that there will be something to gain when
the bulls shall again force prices up.
Trade at present is very limited but as
the market declines 1t seems to make
more bear friends. Spots show decline
from quarter to half cent, New York
spots being quoted at 1880. The demand
for spots in southern interior towns is re-
ported good with both locals and foreign
spinners good bidders. We feel that this
decline is only temporary and much high
err prices will prevail On New York's
close tonight Liverpool is due to come
about IT points down Wednesday.

some cases point or more. The trading
was professional and little buying for
long account occurred, SO far as 1t was
possible to bulge A short "snealSing"
seems to be on, and If no further adverse
news develops the bull contingent under
the leadership of the Waldorf crowd may
be able to push up the list a little fur

ever that some good selling orders will
be hit on the way up and in that case
will throw 1t down a little. st. Paul

New York. February 16.-After opening

sharply. This made gain of 40 points
