F YES1ERDAY'S STOCK MARK EFT.
Los.e. of From One Co One and Three-
 Quarters.

Losses of From Ono Co One and Three- Quarters.
 New York, Feb. 2S.-A good start
 against depression was made by the
 stock market this morning, but the tone
 became nervous and apprehensive as
 the day wore on and in the afternoon
 there was positive weakness.
 l The nature of the selling induced
 some fears that large interests were i liquidating their holdings. The sus-
 pense felt over the coming Northern Se-
 eurities decision was an important in ] fiuence in the market and there was
 room for the opinion held by some per-
 sons that it was the dominant influ-
 ence. No decisive information could be secured here whether the court would
 hand down any decisions to-day at all.
 When the report was received that de- cions were being delivered the market showed the greatest weakness of the whole day in sympathy with break
 of ? S-4 in Northern Securities itself on the curb. Uneasness over the foreign { financial situation was revived by the report of an important banking failure in Berlin and the strength in the local exchange market gave color to the doubts felt. It is realized that Europe is not stripped of American securities
 however large the recent reduction in the floating supply there may have been. Extensive financial disturbance in Europe would be sure to preeipitate pressure upon the worlds strongest financial point, which seems to be New
 York at present. The influx of cash into New York which is making it so
 strong is viewed somewhat dubiously taken in connection with the decline in
 railroad earnings and the shrinkage in
 the country's bank clearings, pointing to decrease in business activity which is not wholly reassuring. The penden- cy of the vote on the Panama treaty
 pointed to an early call by the secre- tary of the treasury for a portion of government deposits in national banks. A further cut in the lake grain rate kept alive apprehension over the war of rates. The end of the moratorium on Baltimore obligations uncovered no. en-
 barrassinent, which caused satisfaction.
 The market closed at about the lowest
 of the day and showed losses ranging generally between i and 1 3-4 points. Southern Pacific was the most actively
 pressed for sale and number of dor mant stocks made violent declines.
 Bonds were moderately active and
 easy, Total sales par value $1,s40,OoO.

considered as a whole. Mir. Lamb has succeeded in introducing many of those little side scenes which are quaintly humorous as studies of character, and which at the same time bear direct relation to the main theme and plot of the drama. For instance, in the first act there is a scene in which genuine hayseed, a New York tough girl. fa- cetious tramp and the tough girls lover are interested The old gentleman is from the country, and he falls into the clutches of the girl at a typical New York concert hall. How he is drugged and robbed and the relations which the tramp and the parasite bear to the af- fair are most graphically told by the dramatist, the whole act being funny as well as seriously dramatic.

Briefly summarized the principal points
OF the boards report are:
THAT the fire was discovered at the
upper end OF the Sunken Meadows, and
that North Brother island was the near
est available point TO beach the steam
ship
"That the life preserving appliances In
the vessel were inadequate. but had the
Socum been supplied with double the
number not another life would have been
saved because OF the Ignorance and IN
competence OF the crew.
That there was an absolute lack OF dis
cipline on the part of the crew because
OF the negligence OF the master and OF the
pilot.
That FIRE drills had been neglected and,
had the crew been trained as the law re-
auires such disaster would have been
almost inconceivable.
That one of the crew. I'm his Ignorance,
added TO the incipient flames by throwing
thereon an empty bag which had con-
tanned charcoal.
That the chief engineer was grossly
negligent when notified OF the fire In that
he did not see that the hose had been
connected and the water turned on.
Under the law the board only took up
the conduct Of the vessels licensed
officers The other phases of the disaster
were investigated by a special commission
appointed on request OF President Roose-
welt, and consisting of Gen. Wilson OF
