Trouble For Government Clerks.

Congress makes lots OF unnecessary
trouble for the government clerks,
said veteran employee. but The
worst case l know of occurred s1lae
years ago. A certain senator "s,.ed
the comptroller OF the currency to tel
him how much stock u certain man
had in national bank He was IN
formed that such information Was re-
garded as confidential and could not lie
given out
We'll see about that" said tie sell
ator. who was plainly disappointed and
displeased.
Several days later he secured the
passage Of resolution calling upon
the secretary of the treasury TO furnish
the senate with the names and holdings
Of the stockholders In all the national
banks In the country. He really want
ed TO know only the interest OF one
man I'm a bank, but he knew that he
couldn't get q resolution OF that kind
through the senate. so he included the
stockholders In all national banks. II
took the entire force of the comptrol-
ler's office several weeks to prepare the
information, and when II reached the
senate nobody paid any attention to IL
except the author Of the resolution. and
he merely looked at the mass of papers
only long enough to see about the man
he was after and then tossed the pa
pers aside IL was an immense lot OF
work for nothing. Washington Star.

The Process.
A solution Of formaldehyde should be
made in the proportion OF one pound
formaldehyde 40 per cent pure to for
ty-five gallons OF water. This amount
will treat about hundred bushels of
wheat and seventy-tve to eighty five
bushels of oats or bapey. The easiest
method of applying 6e solution is to
spread the wheat on the granary floor
and spray the solution over the seed
with common garden sprinkling can
The solution is not effective at low

YESIERDAY'S STOCK MARKE ET.
Decrease in the Rate of Activity the
 Most Striking Feature.

New York, Feb. 5.-The most striking feature of the market to-day was the decrease in the rate of activity. It is many weeks since the aggregate deal ings for a day have fallen much below the million and a half share mark, as was the case to-day. Half the days business was done during the first hour. The reason for the falling off was. clearly enough, the completion of neces- sitous selling so far as was immediately urgent, and a disinclination to renew any large buying. There was a lively selling movement during the first hour, which was natural enough in view of the unsettling effect of the break in prices of Saturday. When the dullness of the market gave notice that selling pressure was subsiding there was a slow upward swing, which became more languid the higher the level of prices reached.
 The outlook for a settlement of the wage dispute among the coal miners was regarded quite universally as dis oouraging and speculative sentiment was inclined to take for granted that a strike would occur. The anthracite coal carriers were equally weak, with the bituminous group refiecting the fear that the labor trouble, while inaugural ed among the soft-coal miners, would involve also the anthracite regions. The prospects of the money market also are regarded as not calculated to foster an active speculation. The inaugura- ton of an outgo of gold is retarted but is generally expected to occur later and to reach considerable proportions. The small engagement to-day for shipment to South America is evidence of the control of a gold supply in this market by foreign bankers. Meantime the credit requirements are expanding the loan items of the banks, and the influx of cash from the interior is likely to become less as the season advances.
 Weather conditions came in for con- sideration, but were of rather mixed effect. A snow covering for the winter wheat crop is desirable, but there were fears that the cold preceding the snow might injure the plant. Storm obstruc- tions would also tend to alter the ideal traffic conditions for railroads, which have kept down operating expenses and resulted in the strong showings of net earnings now coming to hand. The Wabash and the Hartman Pacifics made such showings to-day. The Hill railroads made ready headway against depression, and the Hartman Pacifics were helped by their December earn ings and by the reports that Union Pa
