Stock Activity Subsidies.

Nsm York, Feb. 2o,--The stock mar
ket has been In state Of suspended
animation during the week. New de-
yelopments have been rather adverse tc
values but the pressure TO sell has beer
insignificant. Efforts Of traders to put
prices up have demonstrated the mar
row limits OF the market In either d.
rection. The war. the railroad COM
petition over grain rates, decrease In
railroad earnings, imminence Of the
Northern Securities decision and a
number OF minor Influences overhang
the stock market and repress all specu-
lative activity.

Another mail carrier is needed in the
east end and petition will be cir
culated among the interested residents
this week praying for the desired relief
The petition will be filed with POST
master Reed, who in turn will submit
the proposal with the department at
Washington. There is little doubt that
another carrier will be appointed. Al
the present time there is but one car
rier covering the district from Schol-
fields store to the eastern limit and
residents along the line are greatly an
noyed by the service rendered The
complaint is occasioned solely by the
fact that the work is too much for one
man. Mail is often delayed in delivery

James McCabe was up before Police
Judge Anderson yesterday for disor-
ierly conduct. Ladies' residing in the
vicinity OF the Mcclure school phoned
to police headquarters that man was
annoying them and Police Captain
Gammal went to investigate. He
rounded up McCabe. The ladies COM
planned chat the man had been In the
neighborhood for several days and that
he had greatly frightened them, as well
as little children. OF course Mr. McCabe
said 1t was a case of mistaken identity,
He denied having visited the neighbor-
hood previously to the visit on which
he was arrested; said he had been en-
ployed on the Chinook and had a good
Job in sight, and that he was an honest,
hard working man, who would not for
the world be guilty of infraction Of the
law. He wanted chance to get back
to work. Judge Anderson fined him
$40, but agreed to suspend sentence on
condition that he leave the city. For
this kindness he rendered the most pro-
fuse thanks.
