stock bought in Nebraska last fall is
depreciating and that buyers will lose
heavily. AT Lincoln spudS have beer
selling at 60c q bushel, and peddlers
dispose of stock at prices that do not
mean profits.
The potato situation in Maine has i'm
proved from the standpoint of shippers
and receivers Demand has been ac-
tive in New York for Maine spuds al
$1.S5 to $1.90, and $1.75 for western
spuds Receivers in New York expect
that the receipts will continue of good
volume if the weather conditions re-
main favorable. but the inpiries be-
ing received for stock indicate that
there will also be continuation of the
active demand. 1t is generally under
stood that there are liberal holdings
of stock still in Maine by reason of the
fact that the car situation has retarded
shipments right along through the sea-
son. but holders there are rather tirm
in their views regarding the price
situation, owing to the fact that prin-
cipal markets are not over well sup

NEW YORK Feb. 2S.-There was an
abrupt reversal of sentiment from that
of yesterday in the stock market today
as there was on Tuesday from that of
Monday Todays sharp recoveres
placed prices quite generally on a level
with the best prices touched in the re-
certainty of the speculative sentiment
is clearly defined in these numerous
and abrupt changes in the course of
accounted for by any new develop
ments as have been the other move
ments of the week.
Several items of news that might
have received discouraging interpre-
tation were ignored An important
part will be allowed naturally to the
covering operations of the bears In
working q rally after so considerable
decline as has occurred. There was,
besides, an appearance of support for
the market and of accumulation of i'm
portant accounts which determined the
bears in buying to cover their shorts.
Some influence was attributed to the
adjournment of the interstate COM
merce commissions hearing in this
city But opinions in the Wall street
district of the bad effects on securities
threatened as a result of that hearing
were not altered but rather emphasized
by the later phases of the inVestiga-
tion. 1t is therefore believed to be i'm
possible that the widespread publicity
given to the hearing shall not awaken
some distrust upon the part of the in
vestors and ordinary holders of securi-
ties with methods in use among the
high financial powers revealed with the
progress of the industry: Commission
houses profess a conviction that the
public cannot be induced to buy stocks
while these revelations are fresh in
mind.
It is feared also that chances of en-
listing foreign capital in issues of
American companies would be decidedly
impaired by the distrust aroused by the
results of the investigation.

road employees in the west and north

Importance was given the highly

pressed by authorities in that trade of

in trade is calculated to go far in quiet
ing the apprehensions of a contraction
in general business owing to the great
an index of business conditions as a
whole.
Money was 'firmer today, both on call
and on time. There was supposed to
be some closing of loans following on

which will be unusually large.

Decree to Stop Clerks Marrying Brings
New Project-some Male AppM-
cants Said to Be Wealthy

Special to The Herald.
CHIPPEW.L FALLS, Wis, Feb %.
"A local mercantile firm has obtained
so much notoriety from the enforce
ment of an order prohibiting female
clerks to marry within the first year
of their employment that it has de-
cided to establish a matrimonial annex
as a feature of its other business.
Cupid has for some time made such
raVages among the female clerks of
the establishment that members of the
firm, believing that drastic methods
were required, issued the prohibitory
order. This fact was announced in the
local papers and telegraphed to out
side papers. with the result that they
were swamped with applications from
far and near by old maids and young
ma1dens. widows, sod and grass, who
were willing to try to withstand the
allurements of the position. This fact,
too, was duly chronicled by the news
gathererS, and now q second deluge
of epistles has begun to pour in, this
time from eligible bachelors and Wild
overs who are seeking their souls af-
finity and feel sure that she is to be
found among some of the applicants
for clerkships.
The department store proprietors at
first were annoyed at the notoriety
their prohibitory order had secured for
them, but, as this had no effect upon
the flood of applications from both
sources, they have at last decided to
establish mail order marriage bureau
and furnish the would-be benedicts
with the addresses of their fair appli-
cants for positions in their store.
Some of the male applicants are said
to be wealthy and have inclosed pho
tographs of themselves. One letter
from a farmer writing from Glendale,
~ D., is as follows:
81 see by the Twin City papers that
you are being bothered to some extent
with widows and old maids. This is
not the case up in this part of the
world. Now, gentlemen, if you will
do me a great favor L will call you
forever blessed. 1 am looking for a
true old maid or fine looking widow
to take the happiness of life with me.
| am worth from $4,000 to $25, 900,
have a good home and 4SO acres of
land. Just show this to some good.
true woman and tell her to write"
one true old maid, one widow (sod),
and one widow (grass) have been duly
consigned to the inquirer and the cor
respondence has been begun.
