necessities of the treasury, and an
equitable adjustment of exorbitant du-

lation and control of combinations of
capital.

BAD EFFECT OF THE COTTON BREAK AMI
PENNSYLVANIA LOAN

BAD EFFECT OF THE COTTON BREAK AND
PENNSYLVANIA: LOAN.
The Waldorf-AstOria gossip says: The
announcement that the Pennsylvania COM
pany has borrowed $4,000, 900, has unques-
tionably depressed sentiment Even among
people who have been steadfast bulls it
has caused "a revision of speculative views
and dashed the hopes Of these who have
looked for substantial rise. These OBJ
servers feel that for the time being the
most that can be expected in way Of inn
provement is rallies, one of which should
be near, for the short interest is becoming
extended.
The further big drop in cotton was q
factor and is said to have caused a good
deal Of selling of stock by people who lost
heavily by the great fall In the prices of
the staple the last two days. Aside from
this, according to observant brokers, there
was little liquidation, what there was be-
ing speculative.
President Cassatt says the money Dor
rowed by Pennsylvania is to be used for
providing for expenditures already made
for similar work to be done this year, and
! that the loan will be permanently financed
before its maturity. The money is not
to be used to purchase or control any
properties or syndicates connected with
other systems. <

Minneap polls Chamber Of Commerce, Feb.
S.-Wheat was very excited to-day. SELL
ing up and down by quick sharp changes
The news was warlike. Traders were
much at sea- 1t was realized that war
might come over Sunday. Hence the pit
was the center of a lively trade made UP
OF buying by those who look for wild
opening on Monday in case fight Is re-
ported or anything more serious develops
In the general situation, and those VINO
had long wheat and were afraid to stand
over Sunday for fear that the market may
open down in case there is no bad news.
Minneapolis May wheat sold on the curb
at 54Ac, opened at 1913 @94c, and broke to
e2& @92|c. A rumor came along by wire
to the effect that the Japanese minister at
ST. Petersburg had asked for his pass
ports, and May went to 931sc In one jump.
The close was on reaction to 92Bc.
In Chicago wheat opened wild and high
ar chiefly because Of the decline Of 5-l6
I'm consols and the filling Of some buying
orders but later 1t was more steady
with moderate general trade. Northwest
receipts small and cables without especial
change Chicago said it is a war market
las well as a congested one, and hard
one to guess. There was very moderate
realizing in all the pits on the early
bulges.. this is the reason why prices
dropped down some Later there was fair

afraid something or other would come
up to radically change values, and 80

A GOOD PLACE TO AVOID

der of Burma, there is a tribe called the
Wild Was. These people propitiate with
human skulls the demons whom they wor
ship. Outside every village in their coun-
try there are many posts, all in one line,
decked with human skulls. A niche is cut
in the back of each post, with ledge on
which the skull can rest and grin thru Il
hole in front of it. Every village has a
dozen and some as many as hundred Of
these head posts. Fresh skulls are in spe-
cial request at harvest time, and are pur-
chased for large sums, those of distin-
guished visitors being particularly desired.
