FALLING OFF IN BUSINESS
INFLUENCE or Rank SHOWING
Special pispstch to The STIR

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February o.-Tnere was
featureless market for securities upon
the stock exchange today, and for the most
part the trading exhibited q renewal of
the irregular and reactionary tendencies
which characterised yesterdays dealings.
The transactions were In greatly reduced
volume. being conducted during the greater
part of the business session on about half
the scale Of activity that prevailed yester-
day. 1t was apparently the case that appre-
tensions with respect to the showing to be
made by the banks In their weekly state
ment of averages balances today were the
controlling influence In the dealings
Forecasts of the bank statement which
appeared during the morning Indicated
that surplus reserves might be reduced
fully so per cent from The figures reported
last Saturday. The London stock market
was likewise dull and featureless, and little
count. the arbitrage houses quite generally
quitting business few moments after the
opening Of the local market.
Speculative sentiment in London was ad-
versely influenced by the prospect that New
York might secure a large part of the gold
to arrive in London on Monday and also
by the approach Of the fortnightiy settie-
ment. There was little news over night
although the weekly reports of the mer-
camille agencies Indicated some slight i'm
pairment in the general trade Of the coun-
try as a result of the extremely severe
weather conditions prevailing in many d.
rections
Sugar Refining Strong.
Sugar Refining furnished the most strik-
ing exception to the general drift of prices,
that stock being decidedly strong with no
special news or gossip attending its course
Amalgamated Copper, the United States
Steel shares and the other industrial is
sues changed hands during the greater part
of the business session fractionally below
yesterdays closing prices, and the same
description was applicable to the dealings
in the railway list and the local traction
shares.
The bank statement made even q weaker
showing than had been commonly expected.
The decrease in actual cash amounted to
over $12OOO,OOO, a sum more than double
the largest of the preliminary estimates.
An expansion of $1,5l8, 600 was shown in the
loan account, a smaller sum than had been
reckoned upon. The changes In cash and
In loans resulted more or less closely In q
reduction in the deposit account OF Ill, 1o1, :
OOO Surplus reserves decreased ~, 2SS,OO0
and now stand at $3,446.0OOs Surplus re-
serves in the corresponding week of last
year were $5.943 900. in 1905. 81, 096,OOO and
In 1904, $2O.379,0 600.
The market weakened in all directions
after the publication Of the bank statement.

Very few could give an answer without

that they did not believe in the third term

PAUR DEMANDS MORE PAY.

Unless salary is Made $4,000,

Pittsburg. March 2A-'Fhe music com
mittee Of the Pittsburg Art Society re-
ceived a big surprise this week when
Emil Paur, conductor Of the Pittsburg
Orchestra. whose three-year contract ex-
pires this season, informed them that he
would expect salary of $1,000 a year, in
addition 10 several other concessions, If
he signs ano,t er contract Paur's salary
for the past three years has been $1,000
annually. which is moro than was paid
10 Victor Herbert. the most popular and
successful conductor the orchestra ever
had. Paur also demands an enlarged
orchestra in spite of the fact that he
already has siXty-five men, and the elm
ination OF all small cities from his road
trips.
It is scarcely likely that Paur's de-
mands Will be made. inasmuch as there IS
already some dissatisfaction. There are
rumors that Victor Herbert may be
brought back here. although Herbert has
declared that he viii not return TO Pitts
burg with the orchestra under its pres
ent management. The music committee
declares that no change in the manage
ment is contemplated.
