Collapse Due to Unusually Heavy Selling in High Quarters Demoralizes the Market in New York.
PUZZLES WALL STREET
Pressure Directed Against Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, These se- curities Going Off Four to Six Points,

New York, Mar. 5--Liquidation on very large scale caused a collapse in today's stock market. Very demor- alized conditions marked the closing final prices in number of instances being the lowest in years. There were few news developments to &C., count for the break Tn great bulk of todays selling en-
 anated from high quarters. The pres- sure was especially directed against Southern Pacific and Atchison, those issues declining four and five-eights
 and six and half points, respective ly.
 There were other losses ranging from two to ten points, practically
 every active stock participating in
 the break. Foreign selling was some
 thing of a factor, London according to reprot unloading fully 35,000 shares, though part of this was probably for New York account.
 The opening transactions reflected some support, especially in the Hill stocks. which were recently the weak est issues. By midday, however. the selling movement was in full swing and gained increased momentum as stocks poured out
 Rallies were feeble and the signal for a fresh outburst by the short in- terest, whose operations contributed in no small measure to the days transactions, approximating 1.750,000 shares, the largest business of the year.
 A canvass of the banks and other financial institutions after the close of the market elicited the assurance that no trouble of a serious nature was pending in those quarters. Some bankers were quoted to say that the break was beneficial to the general situation.

RAILROAD BOYS GET: MORE PAY Conductors, Baggagemen, aB3s sA Brakemen and Flagmen
 Get Substantial Increase In Their Salaries. ..
ANNOUNCED TO-DAY
Increase Effects More Than 55,OO0
 Men-Offer Considerably Less Than Asked For, and Some Dis. satisfaction Expressed.

Notices were given out here to- day, it is said, announcing an in- crease in wages for conductors, bag gagemen, brakemen and fagmen on passenger and freight trains. The increases will effect 55,O0O men and are as follows:
 Conductors in passenger service gape to be granted an increase of pay q $10 per month.
 passenger brakemen are to be granted an increase of $6 per month.
 Passenger brakemen and fagmen are to be granted an increase of s5 per month.
 Freight conductors and brakemen are to be granted an increase of 10 per cent in pay on the basis of schedule prevailing on November l, 1906.
 Proportionate and equaole offers of increases in overtime pay are made part of the tender.
 The schedule Of time will remain as it was November 6, 1906.
 The trainmen have insisted upon an increase of 12 per cent in both passenger and freight service.
 This important increase in the schedules of pay was agreed upon at a meeting in Chicago ,f the man. agers' committee of forty-twc rail- roads west of that city, and in case it does prove acceptable to the em- ployes the managers will use their influences to throw the entire mat ter open to arbitration.
 yThe tender of the managers of the increase in pay is the result of conferences lasting more than month, participated in by genera! managers representing various lines, and general chairmen from each system, representing the employees involved. These conferences have just closed and the general chair men have returned to their various lines to submit the schedules of in-

THE EXPRESS STOPPED.

Falls Village folks have had the op- portunity to view that new Saturday express at short range and with deliber- ation. It arrived here Saturday nearly an hour late, but stopped instead of whizzing through town. Then 1t waited 20 minutes more for a south-bound train that didn't come. Meanwhile the pas sengers (the male ones) said things that didn't sound bit pretty and the con- ductor and brakemen tried to pacify the diamond-bedecked ladies headed for the Berkshires, by calling their attention to the famous scenery at Falls Village. But it wasn't scenery they were looking for. They wanted information as to why the train didn't move on and they were not getting it. Pretty soon the message came that the southbound train was held up at Sheffield by hot box on the cowcatcher and for the express to move along to Canaan, which it did. Of course none of us wish the road any bad luck, but we would appreciate the assurance that something trivial would happen each week that would cause that train to stop here. And it needn't stop twenty minutes, either. One would be enough.

MAHARA'S MINSTRELS.
A large and Wel.Pleased Crowd at
 the New Crawford.


 Mahara's Mnstrels at the Crawford as crowd pullers certainly justified the claims made for them and the house was sold and standing room was being bought early yesterday evening. Not one of the large crowd but will say that the show fully full filled the claim made for it, that f. is one of the best organizations of a similar type on the road Mahara's Minstrels are, beyond a doubt, ono of the best, if not the very best. min. strel troups that have appeared in El Paso in years.
 The form, get,up and program of the minstrels is just sufficiently diver sified from the ordinary run of min strel shows to give it the spice, snap and ginger of an entirely new sort of show. Ill general get-un tho show is modelled something after musical comedy, with the exception of the time-honored first part" which re mains unchanged in form, but glitter ingly new in composition.
 The troupe carries a magnificent bunch of negro voices, and not one weak point in the entire aggregation serves as disappointment. Funny George Taylor kept the crowd con- vulsed with laughter during the en. tire time he was before the audience. His simplest move or gesture was a signal for uproarous laughter from the crowd, and his song, "I'll Be Back in Minute, but I've Got to Go Now" of oA for repeated encores.
 Time Ousley, "the crazy comedian" " in song and monologue, stood nearly as high as did Taylor Tn the .estlma. tiun of the audience, and he wa re. called repeatedly. In the second part his monologue was exceptionally clev- IT and roundly applauded.
 "Cheyenne,' opening the second part of the minstrels, and participated in by six singers and dancers, lead by Lucille Collins, savored of the musical comedy and was very fine. Among the songs sung, with the ex. ception of Cheyenne" it is safe to say that not one person in Fl Paso heard one of them before. They were all new, snappy and of the melodious coon variety so popular always.
 Mahara's Minstrels will be the bill at the matinee today at the Crawford and again tonight, and The Times be. speaks for them an even larger crowd, if possible, than that which last night sat and stood through the entire per .ormance without tho slightest sign of fatigue.
 The Mahara Minstrels will be at Elk Hall Friday evening, March 18th.
