NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Stock market
operations today were under the same
constraint as for several days past, and
the movement of prices again became
WaYering and uncertain after yesterdays
decided downward movement. The sharp
break in the morning, while prices of cot
ton We're slumping, and the subsequent
rally With cotton, pointed to a sympathy
between the two movements which leaves
little doubt that the collapse in cotton is
viewed with more or less apprehension
In Wall street. The general apprehension
that the long deferred crisis in the Russo
Japanese contest was at last at hand was
factor in the Stagnation in stocks here,
as well as in foreign stock markets. The
further jump in grain and the drop in cot
ton are the empirical indications of a
war outcome.
But the highly artificial conditions in
the commodity markets due to the ex-
ceSStVe speculative commitments give
them a feverish sensibility that robs them
OF safety as an index of conditions. The
most important event of the day to the
financial markets was the ten-day notice
given by the secretary of the treasury of
a demand for payment of 20 per cent of
government deposits with national banks
This calls for about $50 900, 900 payable at
New York. 1t is highly probable, there
fore, that interior government depoSitaries
will draw on their deposits with New
York banks to meet the governments call.
AS the Secretary's call says nothing of
further Withdrawals of deposits in con-
temptation, some relief was afforded from
the effect caused by limitations heard
yesterday that the first call was soon to
be followed by another for 10 per cent
more of deposits.
"Steer" Was Straight.
The conjectural estima ties of the effects
upon the money market here of the Pan
anna canal payments have counted upon
the portion to be paid directly from the
United States treasury as so much ad-
dItlonal resources released to the money
markets. The realization has been grow
ing that larger portion than at first
supposed would have to be met by with
drawal Of government deposits, and the
quiet acceptance given by the markets to
the Secretary'S call shows that its amount
had been pretty accurately foreSeen in
financial circles.
AS TO the effect on the money market
of these Withdrawals. it is clearly de-
pendent upon the skill with which the
banking in connection with the payment
is carried through. There is a general
belief that New York banks are to be
made depositaries on behalf of the foreign
stockholders of the payments from the
government, and that those banks have
made extensive investment in foreign eX-
change already to provide for the remit
tance of the sum due to foreigners. A
revival of war talk was responsible for
the sharp recession in prices just at the
close, which was therefore rather weak.
Buying of United States Steel stock at
an advance of point, which was with
out explanation, was a factor in the re-
covery of prices from the opening de-
preston.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales. par
value, $2.710,000. United States bonds

TO IMPROVE THE
TROLLEY ROAD

The Columbia and Montour trolley
road is to be extensively improved and
new power plant that will occupy a
50x5O foot building will be erected at
Berwick. In it will be installed a 200
kilowatt generator and a $50 horse
power engine. 1t will be just an aux
iliary plant. A $50 kilowatt rotary
converter will be stationed at Willow
Grove, where now there is a 100 kilo-
watt converter, and the new one will
make it possible to continue operation
even if accident should befall one
machine This work will be done
within six months
A charter has been granted for the
Berwick belt line, an extension of the
Columbia and Montour, which will
reach Nescopeck as soon as the bridge
is up. 1t will run up Market street,
Berwick, to the steel plant and will
connect at West Berwick with the
present system.

He then took the lid OF tin black

drilled two holes in it with fork and
sewed it on to the neck of the shirt
that was next to be washed. When
his washing came back he found that
she had taken the hint She had made

Mated.

Any one with half an eye could see
that he was madly in love with her,
but he had not courage enough to put
his fate to the test But she was a
young lady who knew her way about,
as the saying goes, and one night she
suggested Il game of chess. He, poor
fellow, eagerly swallowed the bait. II
he was novice at lovemaking he was
certainly no novice ut chess, and he
soon had the fair maid hopelessly
beaten.
"Ah." he exclaimed as he put her In
n hopeless corner. You're in a tight
corner now, Miss Mabel"
She looked at him with those beauti-
full eyes Of hers and then said:
II hadn't noticed any compression,
George. Have l no escape2"
"Nonc whatever" said the guileless
George. 4 shall mate you next move"
"Oh, George" said she, with a becom.
