Special Dfspdtch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. February cot is believed
that the market for the balance + the week
will show a hesitating and irregular ten
dency. Now that most of the adverse ru-
mors In circulation during the last two
days have been cleared up the forthcoming
Hartman Investigation is spoken of as
the chief factor in the market from the
speculative viewpoint. The more conserva-
tive interests are still confident that moth
ing of serious character will be disclosed
at any of the hearings. On the part, how
ever. of the active speculative element there
Is considerable genuine apprehension that
the market will receive a serious setback
before the investigation is completed.
So far it has been impossible to get def
mite information as to the principal matters
that will be taken UP by counsel for the
interstate commerce commission. There Is
good reason for believing that the Chi
cago and Alton situation will be gone into
thoroughly from the time the company was
reorganized up to the date at least on
which the agreement between the Hartman
and Rock Island interests was made for an
alternating control and operation of the
property. Some men who are In a position
to have good Information said that the re-
organization Of the Chicago and Alton Of
fers possibilities for testimony Of an I'M
favorable character. 1t remains to be seen
whether the alleged facts will be disclosed
at the hearing.
Men who take q more optimistic view of
the effect OF the investigation expressed the
opinion that 1t will portray more clearly
the strong position of the Union Pacific and
will bring to light an additional amount
Of valuable assets of which the street, as a
whole, has no definite knowledge If, as
result of the disclosures made at the inter-
state commerce commission investigation
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific are
separated. as to ownership and operation,
these interests claim that steps have al
ready been taken to fully protect the vari-
Gus properties.

Hearing Continued.

The Interstate commerce commission to-
day continued the hearing Of Frye and
Bruhn against the Northern Pacific rail-
road. The case involves the charges on
live hogs from the middle west to the Pa
cific coast. Mr.. Frye was on the stand
yesterday and most of today and the case
probably will continue for the rest of the
day. The trend Of the complaint was that
the service Of the railroads was poor, the
rates exorbitant and that the big packing
establishments were given preferential
rates to the detrinient Of the compliments.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. February 20.-After practi-
cally all of the active issues had scored
further declines of one point and ever dur
ing the first hour of business the stock
market became much steader. and the
early losses were in large mea-ure recov-
cred. Price movements throughout the day
were. however. characterized by great
irregularity and no little feverishness.
on the other hand, the market was not
subjected to the urgent pressure which was
observed in the dealings In m my stocks
yesterday. and n large part of the selling
today appeared to represent operations for
the short account. There was very sharp
contraction in the volume of business, and.
as was the case yesterday. a few stocks
furnished an undue proportion of the total
transactions.
The day was fortunately free from the
disturbing. even II absurd rumors, which
were In circulation yesterday. but con-
lecture continued extremely active as to
the sources from which there came yester
days liquidation, particularly in Union Pa
Cifc. Naturally the surmises in this respect
had to go unsatished There was a very
large borrowing demand for Union Pacific
in the loan market for stocks, but Wall
street was not disposed on this account to
take 1t for granted that yesterdays selling
represented operations for the short ac
count.
Discussion conferred mainly upon the pros
pect of the passage of the Aldrich financial
bill, and at one time during the morning
reports were in circulation that the outlook
for the measure was by no means as hope
full as ii was early in the week. Private dis
patches from Washington were. however.
still insistent to the effect that the bill
would surely pass the Senate, possibly this
afternoon, and that its chances for passing
the House were still very good.

Gossip Over Hartman Probe.


The approaching investigation of the Har-
riman system by the interstate commerce
commission also received the usual amount
of attention. although. of course. there was
nothing novel to be ELECTED in that direc-
ton.
The London stock market was generally
steady. with pronounced strength in the
copper stocks, but American Securities
opened and closed weak after enjoying an
intervening rally. On the early decline in
the local stock market. however foreign
houses were buyers here TO the extent of
about 10000 shares

sions of the money market and sterling ex-
change rates were virtually unchanged

adverse balance upon Saturdays bank state
ment came in for little comment.
Special Pressure on Wabash.
Price movements in the market at large
were characterized by a good deal of uni
formity. the various departments showing
declining and rallying tendency. A rather
sharp break in the Wabash issues gave a
somewhat conspicuous position in the mar
ket to those securities, although there was
nothing at all definite to account of the
special pressure in that direction.
AS usual the bulk of the transactions in
the railway list arose from the transactions
in Union Pacific, Reading. Pennsylvania
st. Paul. Rock Island and Canadian Pacific.
The Industrial and miscellaneous issues
were relatively firmer than the railway list
and Pressed Steel Car was exceptionally
firm in connection with the handsome an
nual report of the company made public to-
day.

The Monaco Of the March

Apparently the Presidents enthusiasm
has placed the army in the embarrassing
position of driving away that very neces-
sary factor of military efficiency. the con-
tinuoUs-service soldier. II is found that
many enlisted men are expressing their
discomfort with the army, and many Of
those who should re-enlist are i'm the at
titude Of waiting patiently until they can
be relieved Of the obligation of military
service. This condition Of affairs seems to
be due to the fact that the practice
marches which the President imposed on
the army has hardened" the men only
in one particular 1t has failed to accom-
plish the athletic results expected of it.
and has contributed to a determination TO
get away from II all as soon as possible.
There are now weekly marches for every
military unit, no matter whether it is sta
toned in the tropics or in the country
where in winter, its members must plod
through deep SHOWS. For the infantry
there must be twelve miles of marching
every week and for the cavalry and field
artillery fifteen miles Then, every month
there must be a three-day march, during
which the troops must camp out twice.
while once a year there must be service
in the field for twenty-one days contin-
uously This amounts to a hardship in
the minds of the enlisted men, and they
are applying their own remedv-the most
effective of ala refusal TO re-enlist.
An example of the discomfort which is
created by this situation IS furnished at
neighboring Fort Myer. the troops from
which have 10 perform much escort duty

Calming International Iinenism-

Secretary Roots yeiled caution 20 the
American press respecting its treatment
Of the japanese situation has been fol-
lowed by official advice from the homo
office Of the Tokyo government TO Jana
nese sensational journalists that it would
be wise for them to abstain from the
publication Of any matter Of an infamma-

these may have a certain value. they can

10 accept Secretary Roots assurance
that there is no japanese situation other
than one of amity. but that assurance
needs the important qualification that
this government is engaged in treaty ne
