RATION OF GOOD
TIMES is SLOW WORK
Stock Market Is Stagnant, and
Only Shorts Keep Things
Going.
BETTER TIMES IN SIGHT
Greater Demand for Freight Cars
Indicates Brighter Future, but
Railway Earnings Small.

NEW YORK March s.-Progress in
the working out of the problem of re-
storation OF business and industry SO
far as it was reflected in the securities
market last week was slow and labor
ious. Market operations were much
neglected, and price movements were
sluggish and uncertain. Abstention
from the market was as marked on the
part of sellers of securities as of buy
crs. In fact a feature of the market
was a scarity Of market supplies of
stocks. The consequence was n show
Of frmness in individual stocks, even
when unfavorable developments were
announced, a safe indication Of the
sold-out condition OF the market. Be-
yond the occasional buying by uncov-.
cred shorts, however, the demand was
meagre and unlmportant. A situation
resembling stable equilibrium of prices
was the result. Speculative markets
almost Invariably arrive at suc.. state
following an upheaval, the condition
marking the arrest OF the process of
contradiction and the pause Of capital
while awaiting indication of 80 next
phase to be assumed in affairs.
Corner Turned.
Signs from the general business
world of the arrest of the shrinkage
following the financial crisis are dis
cernible in more than one direction,
and the slight improvements reported
keep alive hope that the corner has
been turned towards steady bettermefft
The action of the securities market
however, does not reflect full conf
dence in the immediate progress of i'm
provement. The mixed conditions in
the fields where the Improvement is
most shown help to explain this specu-
lative attitude. The decision OF the
Amalgamated Copper Company to re-
sumo production in the Montana min
ing mines was heralded as a positive
evidence of betterment in that trade.
The state Of the market, however. has
been unsteady. the yielding OF Copper
prices being attributed partly to the
prospect of increased output from the
resumption in Montana. Reduction OF
dividends by the Calumet and Hecla
and the Wolverine companies were
| counter-ba balancing influences on the
Copper securities. From the iron and
, steel trade came intelligence of slight
and slow Improvement. Hereabouts
the signs Of instability in the prices
of iron made modifying influence,
which kept alive uncertainty of the I'LL
innate adjustment of the price level
and deferred buyers from committing
themselves.
Statistics OF bank clearings for Feb
| ruary showed general business ac-
tivity, to be still much contracted COM
pared with previous years. and the
record of failures for February also
showed a heavy rate Of financial
! casualties,

Using Cars Now.

Reduction Of the surplus Of freight
cars on railroads makes an encourag-
ing item In the weeks summary. In
roads upon earnings of railroads are SO
severe, however, as to bring into ques-
ton future dividend return, and even
in the case of the weaker companies
the meeting OF fixed charges. The
struggles to be met in the readjust-
ment of wages in the carrying out of
economics Is viewed with dlsquiet.
Speculative sentiment is sensitive in
political developments, and to all
manifestations of governmental and
legislative measures towards corpora
tons and financial activities. The
stock market element was much dis
turbed by the Introduction of tho Hep
burn bill into Congress. proposing to
levy tax OF so cents on the transfer
of every 500 par value OF stocks.
The rates for money have tended to
relax both here and abroad The CT
feet on the investment in securities
has been slight. and opportunity is not
here regarded as favorable for the
fiotation Of new capital issues.

Word has just been received here
of the marriage of MIR. Steve Swartz
and Miss Edith Fertig. which oc-
Cured at Boulder on July Sd. The
young couple had announced their
intention of getting married on the
Fourth. but fooled their friends by
slipping away and having the cere-
mony performed ahead of time. and
keeping it secret.
The bride is former well known
resident Of La Junta. and a gradu-
ate Of the class of 1905. The groom
is well known brick layer of
Boulder. and a steady young man.
The many friends of the bride in
this city, wish the young couple a
long and happy life.

special to the Denver Republican
from Pittsburg. Pa. whom she met
but few days ago. surveying in
the wilds of northwestern Pennsyl-

1t will be some time before Pitts
burg as well as La Junta society
gets over this marriage, as Miss Lee
was known to have been engaged to
DIR. Walter E. Richie, a dentist.
who is quite well known among the
fair sex of La Junta. and who has
been practicing here for some time.
the lazy is evidently q believer in
affinities as the article further
states that her marriage to DIR.
Richie was to have taken place in
September. and that her elopement
occurred after an acquaintance Of
but eight days. during which time
the young engineer evidently paid
more attention to running q line"
of matrimOny around the young
lady than he did to running q line"
