WASHINGTON STOCKS
DULL DURING WEEK
Lack of Buying Power Re-
sponSible for Inactive
Market.

The Washington stock market dur
ing the week has been so near a
standstin that IL is difficult to fashion
a line Of comment that viii fit, unless
one should fan back upon the hack
neyed phrase % nothing doing.D
Business at every session was pure
~ nominal, the attending brokers
having only small orders TO fill and
none of them Offering any pressure
to sell.
On the whole, prices on the most
active stocks have suffered a slow de-
cline during the past six days. Some
Of the railroads are about a point be-
low the quotations of last Monday
morning, others have had smaller de-
clines. and some OF the bank shares.
when they nave been brought near
the trading point, have shaved of
few dollars from the bid prices.
Buying nf bonds during the week
has been small. though at each meet
ing Of the exchange there has been
more. or less call for them that could
not be satisfied. So it has been in
a measure with stocks II has been
next to impossible TO get them at pre-
vailing prices, and brokers who have
shown any inclination TO purchase
nave nAdut an eAoIA 10 etdL down
the price before taking them on.
There Is no reason in the nature OF
things for such condition. Money
is plentiful in the city banks, stocks
are intrinsicaIly low, and every wind
IS favorable to greater activity
There is simply the lack OF buying
power TO stiffen the market. and fl
looks now as though this state Of az
fairs might continue, at least during
this week. IF not longer.
The time is at hand when the brok-
ers will be seeking their vacations,
and IL was stated by one of them yes
terday that II things did not liven up
this week he would get out OF town
10 the Northern fishing grounds,
where he could enjoy a little fun and
let business take care Of itself for a
month.
Last year at this time the younger
brokers Of the exchange were form
ing their alleged pool to force up the
price Of Gas stock, and then and later
in the summer there was always some
excitement when the regular call
reached Washington Gas But this
year there is not even that diversion
to give an Interest to the market, so
that at the moment Il appears that
there is nothing In sight but a dull
market and slowly crumbliug prices.

BURMESE RAT TRAPS
ARE WATER lars

Rats may readily be induced 10 Jump
or drop into any receptacle. especially
as it affords them adequate conceal
ment and they do this without one
lingering suspicion OF their inability
20 reach the only existing outlet when
the time for retreat approaches.
Thus traps on this principle NAV
readily be designed and are obviously
preferable 10 our rat traps when the
animals are numerous
In Burmah. where the rats are a per
feet pest. they use a Jar trap, which
IS thus described b. a traveller:
The common p, gu Jar I used was
about IL or 2 feet deep and IA or Is
inches broad, and a hole was punched
in the shoulder just large enough for
a rat 20 enter.
There was about 6 or inches OF
paddy (rice in husk) in the far. which
was then buried TO within about s inch
es Of the top The mouth OF the far
WAS then closed with a board and q
Stone
"A quantity Of old timber toists and
straw were IN the oUthouse, and no
end OF rat holes everywhere around"
With this cOntrivance he caught
seventy-twO rats IN one night. The
rats can readily enter, but they can
not climb the smooth sides Of the Jar

SUCCESS OF RECENT EVENT
STIRS INTEREST
NEXT ONE TO BE OPEN TO ALL
COAST AMATEURS
Expected. That Entries Will Come from
Stanford, Berkeley and Olympic
Club of San Franclsco-L. A.
A. C. to Hold Race

The second long distance run to Ven
ice under the auspices of the Los Ange-
les Athletic club will be held the fore
noon of New Years day. Without
doubt the event will be the biggest and
most successful athletic event ever
held in the west. 1t will be open TO all
amateurs in California, and even now
there are rumors that many represent
atives from Stanford and Berkeley, in
addition to the crack distance men of
the olympic club of San Francisco,
will be on hand to compete for the
trophies. There will be an entrance fee
of 50 required Of each man, out of
which so cents will be retained by the
committee to pay for the actual ex-
penses OF the race. If an entrant starts
in the race he will be refunded $1.60,
and If he does not start the money will
go to the long distance running fund.
The rules and general conditions of the
next race, including the course, will be
the same as prevailed in Wednesdays
race.
All of the boys gained much valuable
knowledge from the race wednesday,,
which will stand them in good stead in
the next event. Particularly the fact
that none of the boys, with the excep-
ton of Dietrich, ran an Individual race
until nearly the ten-nlile mark. The
pace at the start was slower one
than any of the boys had been used to,
even in training. For about seven
miles the boys remained punched. each
fearing to make the pace. In the next
race it Is probably that each partici-
pant will run his own race from the
start. No doubt the time of 2:01 :30
will be lowered considerably.

train these men systematically In an
effort to uphold the athletic standard
of the club by winning the next race.
Without exception, each of the contest
ants in the race Wednesday has ex-
pressed his intention to enter the next

the race was the fact that none of the
men suffered any i'll effects from the
long run.
General comment upon the whole af-
fair Is to the effect that 1t was one of
the biggest athletic events that ever
was pulled off in the southland. The
| course was lined with thousands of
| spectators, and as each runner came
along he received many words of en-
couragement and praise. 1t was proved
yesterday that the general public is
| quick to recognize the fact that run
ming race. such as was pulled off, is
without a peer in the whole list of
| sports. There is not that element of
| chance that is SO prevalent in the box
ing game. There is no prettier sight
than the constant machine-like move
ment of the different runners as they
plug along the road, some stopping oc-
casionally, some walking and others
keeping steadily on. always hoping for
the lead.
