The Best Poultry Food.

Any article of food offered in markets Of
today must show good results or it cannot
long hold the trade. This is especially true
of Poultry Foods, for with the recent rapid
development of the poultry industry there have
arisen many so called foods which have been
proven nearly worthless. Pages Perfected
Poultry Food" has stood the test of time
Rev. J. L. Dodge of Springfield, Mass, ex-
presses the very general sentiment in regard
to this food in the following letter: 81 know
that Pages Perfected Poultry Food Is
ahead of any thing ever put on the market"
Any sending his address on a postal
card to c. s. Page, Hyde Park, VT, and
mentioning this paper, will receive by mail,
free, postpaid, a sample package of pages

QUIT RAILROAD BOARDS.
Notable Action by New York Finan
cial Firm.

NEW YORK. February 28.-Members OF
the firm OF Kuhn. Loeb & Co., have
determined to retire from all railroad boards
in which the firm is represented, 1t was
announced today. The reason given for
this step is steadily increasing difficulty
which the members of the firm have been
experiencing in meeting the demands Of
their own business and at the same time
giving the necessary time and attention to
the performance of their duties as directors
OF corporations. Jacob H. Schiff Is the
head of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
Pursuant OF this policy members of the
firm on Wednesday last resigned from the
following boards: Union Pacific Railroad
Company, Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern, Chicago
and Alton, Denver and Rio Grande, North
ern Securities Company, Oregon Short Line
railroad, Oregon Railroad and Navigation
Company, Rio Grande Western railroad
Southern Pacific Company, Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and number of SUBJ
sidiary corporations.
1t is understood that members of the
firm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., have not retired
from the boards Of the various banks trust
companies and similar corporations with
which they are now Identified.

THE LONDON MARKET.
Kaff1r Trouble Affected London Opera
lions Last Week.

lions Last Week.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, February 26.-The stock ex-
change operations this week have been re-
stricted considerably by the trouble in the
Kaffir market. Possible pesslmistic news
from the AIgeciras conference also had a
influence in the market has sprung from
the rather unpleasant situation In South
Africa created by the governments policy
respecting Chinese labor and Winston
Churchilrs statement that nothing would
be done by the government to disturb exist
ing labor conditions until May. 1907, caused
slight improvement in the tone of the
Kaffir market but reaction took place when
to imply that the final settlement of the
South African labor question was likely to
be prolonged considerably beyond the date
Of the establishment of a responsible gov
eminent in the Transvaal.
Practically all departments have been af-
fected more or less by the Kaffir trouble.
Consols and other glt-edged stocks have
been sold to meet the differences in the
Kaff1r market and close slightly uunder last
Saturdays figures. Foreign government Sc
curities have been neglected A significant
thing in quotations for the week Is the
steadiness Of French and German bonds.
Evidently fnanciers in London are not
much impressed by the war talk emanating
from Algeciras. British rails seem to have
had about the same experience as consols.
About all of them are lower than last
week. but the shrfnkage has not been very
heavy. Americans have been weak, the
news from Wall street not having been of
an encouraging nature. The money market
conditions have shown little change, and
the talk now is that easy money may not
come before April.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, February 26.-Because of re-
ports of colder weather in the southwest.
May wheat advanced to S21a here today, but
soon eased off to s21s.
May corn, higher cables and small
local receipts, sold up to 43ssa431a and then
declined to 43A-
Good demand and decreased arrivals sent
May oats up to 305sa30%.
May provisions opened weak: pork at
15.321a, lard at 1874 and ribs at S.071aaS 10.
The wheat market became weaker as the
session advanced, the chief factor being
the weakness OF the Minneapolis market.
The low point for May was reached at sly
aS19s. The close was weak, with May
down 9sa% at S15s.
Corn prices eased off trifle In sympathy
with wheat After May had touched 1895

Bradstreet's Review.

Bradstreets review of the week says:
'Springlike weather stimulates jobbng
distribution. inducing a larger volume OF
home trade and also helping retail business
In spring and summer fabrics. Crop prep
aratfons are going forward actively. and
at the south some actual planting has been
done. Shipments on orders are heavier
than ever before, and no complaints of
freight congestion heard. AT practi-
cafy all points early and long spring
season Is predicted
AT the same time there is an ar of con-
servatism as to the more distant future.
due mainly to the larger stocks Of winter
goods carried over, and also because of the
recent heavy drop In raw cotton, making
buyers for next season cautious in placing
orders. Like conditions are noted in the
leading industries. Iron and steel produc-
ton. while of unprecedented volume, Is
largely for the first half of the years re-
qurements, for future orders being of
lighter volume. Just how much of this is
due to the uncertainties of the coal strike
situation is not clear. but that this is a
factor is unquestionable.
Many commodities show an ca sing tone.
this being especially noticeable in bread
stuffs. cotton, hides and lines of produce az
fected by weather conditions. On the other
hand. the season favorS active building, and
lumber. brick and hardware. among others,
are very strong. 1t is noted that wool Is
very strong, and dealings in the new west
ern clip are checked by high prices.
fair slack retail trade in winter goods at
the north and holding of cotton at the
south being drawbacks. Money has shown
a tendency to work firmer. Bank clearfngs

coed all previous February aggregates.

Money Market Active.

Money market conditions remained active,
although money on call was in fairly liberal
supply during the active borrowing period
between 4 and Az per cent.
The banks have started the clearing
house week with loss to the subtreasury
amounting TO more than 81 400 600, and the
latter was a creditor at today's clearing
house settlement to the extent OF more
than 81 100000. This does not argue favor
ably for next Saturdays bank statement.
particularly as the end of the month will

Sterling exchange was steady and there
was little alteration in the rates of ex-
change on New York at interior points.
The interest taken in the opening of the
conference between the anthracite operators
ond the mine workers committee had no
particular influence the anthracite coal
stocks which were firm with particular ami
nation in Reading.
The bituminous coal stocks the other
hand were dull and comparatively heavy
according TO the prevailing views that there
is a greater possibility of a strike In the
bitumInous than in the anthacite fields.
The days actual news relating to partcu-
lar stocks was confined to the large num-
Der of earnings statements which were re-
ported and practically all of which showed
further heavy increases.

NEW YORK, February 26.-The two
stocks which were the leading features OF
interest In Saturdays dealings retained
their position of comparative Importance
in today's stock market, which, however,
was on the whole broader and tirmer imam
IL has ben for some days past. The Sc
curities IN question were Union Pacinc anu
Consolidated Gas, Union PACING was oy
far the most active feature OF the mar

In a fashion which could only De con-

dicating that with the passage OF sioit
space Of time. some definite announcements
will be Forthcoming with regard TO the
much discussed distribution OF speciai
profits to the shareholders. AS has been
the case heretofore, however, inquiries as
to dates and details met with nothing more
than evasive answers.
The Consolidated Gas securities continued
under severe pressure during the greater
part of the business session. There was, TO
be sure, quite a sharp rally in the stock
soon after the opening of business, put IL
was observed that the convertible stocks
and bonds did not participate at all In the
recovery in the stock, and the selling move
ment in the latter was later vigorously re-
sumed. The decline in these issues, 1t Is
hardly necessary to say, was accounted 1or
through last weeks action by the state
commission fixing the selling price for the
companies product in this borough at 50
cents per thousand feet.
The general market was remarkably I'M
affected by the continued pressure upon
the Consolidated Gas issues While the to-

as compared with those of the early part
OF the month. they were still above recent
