VIEWS OF THE MARKET.
How the Brokers Regard the Present
Situation.

w B. Hibbs & Co. said: 1.-THE tendency
of yesterdays market was distinctly reac-
tionary The selling movement increased
after the publication Of the bank statement
and the market closed heavy. Another call
Of Sc 600, 900 will be made by the Secretary
of the Treasury on February Is unless some
change is made in the plans prior to that
date.
'Should no change occur. and unless there
is considerable liquidation in the stock
market, there seems likelihood that in the
near future the surplus will be wiped out.
The week on the whole has been character
lied by advancing prices, but none Of the
bullish factors are. in our opinion, sufi-
GENTLY strong to offset the unsatisfactory
condition that exists in the banks"
J. B. Ward of Dick Brothers & Co. said:
Saturdays stock market continued to sag

moderate volume and reflected almost en-
tirely professional transactions. Reading,

day. 1t is hardly likely that Mondays
market will show material Improvement, as
traders will be unlikely to make extensive
commitments on the long side over the
Tuesday holiday. I expect higher prices
during the coming week, however,

market at the opening yesterday acted in
a shesitating and uncertain manner. with
prices slightly below the closing Of Friday.

f'Many Of our good railroad stocks pay
much better rates of interest at present
prices, but there is not lively demand for
them, which shows that all apprehension
regarding conditions in this country is not
yet over. The market during the past week
has had fairly good advance and slight
reaction is in order. The bank statement
not only reflects the loss of cash this week,
but corrects the figures Of last week The

NO JOB FOR PERFUMED MAN.
Chicago Employers Says That They
Don't Want Him Around.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Men in business have formed such an an
tipathy to the man who uses perfumery
or has the barber put anything on his hail
that has any fragrance in it that many
men who don't know this are unable to con-
meet with good jobs which might be theirs
If they did know it.
Even the women have become affected
In more than one Chicago business house
the stenographers have been asked to fore
go dousing a lot Of scent upon their hand
kerchiefs or blouses. A slight trace is not
disagreeable, but In some cases even the
smallest vestige is obie>.yed to.
This applies to the women. To the men
the slightest shadow of it is fatal.
It was only the other day the manager of
house in which many men are employed
was examining an applicant for position.
The applicant was neatly dressed, had a
pleasing although slightly bold appear
ance, and talked correctly and intelligently,
although trifle realistically.
SUDDENLY the manager. who had seemed to
be weighing in his mind the merits and de-
merits of the applicant, said:
Sorry, but We can't use you.'
Can you tell me why?" asked the appli-
cant; perhaps If were given an oppor-
tunity-'

But I've been given no opportunity said
the man, not knowing what was meant.
Eyes, you WERE" answered the manager,
you've been given an opportunity to cover
yourself with cheap perfumery and of that
chance you most generously have awaited
yourself. We can't use walking perfume

Other managers took the same view. They

their experience taught them that the man
who used perfumery was likely to spend in
thinking about himself time that he ought

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
RUSSIAN FAMINE REPORTS
CAUSE STRENGTH IN WHEAT.

CHICAGO, February 9.-Fresh reports OF
famine In Russia caused strong tone at
the close of todays wheat market, the final
quotations on the May delivery being up
haS. Corn was shade higher. Oats were
up as. Provisions gained "a to 10.
Early in the day the market was weak
ened by free selling on the part of pit trad
ers, who were moved by weak market at
Liverpool and an estimate of 10000, 600
bushels for the worlds total movement for
the week. About the middle of the day the
demand became much more active and
sentiment In the wheat pit became bullish.
The increase in the buying was due to
foreign advices, confirming previous reports
Of the famine in Russia.
A report from st. Petersburg said that a
large issue of government bonds had been
authorized in order to meet famine relief
requirements, while cablegrams from sew
eral European grain centers announced
purchases of wheat for shipment to Russia.
Shorts coveTed actively during the last half
hour and caused an exceedingly strong mar
ket at the close. May opened Is to Il lower,
at 79A to 1915 sold off to 791aa797s, and then
advanced to SO9saS0A. Final quotations
were at SO1has0N. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 231 600 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts were 3S5, COO bushels, against
528, 600 bushels for the corresponding day
last year, Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago
reported receipts or "a cars, against III
cars last week and 3S1 cars year ago.
The Corn Market.
The corn market was easier early in the
day because of the weakness of wheat, and
local receipts higher than had been es-
timated. The late advance in wheat caused
an improvement in the demand for corn,
and made much firmer market. The close
was firm. May opened Is to BaA' lower at
469sa4GA to 46&, sold between 463s and AZ,
and closed at 467sa47. LEGAL receipts were
Ala cars, with two of contract grade.
Oats were easy at the opening in SYM
pathy with corn and wheat but the latter
gained strength on an active demand by
commission houses and cash interests. May
opened Is to u lower at 403s to 4O1a, adj
vanced to AIS and closed at Al. Local re-
ceipts were 107 cars.
> Provisions were strong all day on free
buying by shorts and outside investors. The
principal reason for the strength was a
strong market for live hogs. At the close
May pork was up 71za1O at 1875. Lard was
up 10, at 1O.17k; ribs were ~ higher at
9.71H.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
q cars; corn, 7O3 cars; oats, 215 cars; hogs,
1900 head.

MERE MANS VIEW.

There are three glances the aver
age masculine bestows upon the
Zulu-like proportions of the fuzzy
couture of the hour.
One is admiration. That is when he
does not know her and beholds her
ensemble remotely.
The second is amused tolerance.
This is when he does know her, and
is divided between admiration for
herself and scorn for her aritficially.
The third is sheer disgust. This
is when he knows her so we'll that
he has had a chance to study the
crinky whisps and wads of false hair
sticking out all around her head. He
abhors them, He wonders, why she
wears them. But
He forgets that there are still othel

ON THE WAY-IN THE FOG"
RAILROAD WRECK
DELAYS THE MAILS

All north bound Queen & Crescent
trains were delayed several hours
yesterday as the result of a freight
wreck at Akohola about 8 o'clock in
the morning and No. 6, the fast New
Cincinnati express, due in
Hattiesburg at 1920, did not reach
here until 1920 in the afternoon.
Conductor Shedd, in charge of this
train, said that no one was injured
in the wreck, but he said that he
never saw track so thoroughly torn
up. For nearly fifty yards it was rip
ped up as if it had been in the path
of any army of invasion.
Eight freight cars loaded with
bananas were derailed and all OF
them badly damaged while three OF
four, it is said, are totally destroyed
The total loss will amount to nearly
$4,000, railroad men say.
The wreck was caused by broker
brake beam. There is slight dowr
grade at this part of the road anc
before the engineer could stop hi:
train it had gone half hundred
yards, tearing the rails from the tie
and In places dragging the ties on
of the roadbed. Two cars wer'
ditched but the others were piled OF
the track, which was not who'll,
cleared until night.
