STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
New York City Bonds FaII-Othcr
 Unfayorahlc Incidents

New York, Fob lL-Dullness and op- pression overhung the stock market to- day. The active operations which prompted price declines were largely at the hands of room traders. The sentl- ment which prompted their attitude was, however, quite generally preva- lent and was a fair reflection of the interpretation placed on immediate events in the financial district and the lack of hopefulness of early better ment Much had been hoped from the successful sale of New York city bonds as a stimualting force on the securities market To-day confirmed the impress sion of Saturday that the events have fallen flat The impression was height ened by the action of the bonds them selves, which are dealt in when is- sued at the stock exchange. The price reacted more than a point from the first quotations in the new securities made on Saturday and the older also was quite unresponsive to the appar- ent demonsu ation of the mortgages. This result is undeniably disappointing. There were some special incidents in the days happenings which had dis turbing effect. New force was given to the fear of tEe governments pros ecution of the Hartman railroad group by the steps taken against the South ern Pacific for relating offenses.
 The copper securities, including Am crlcan Smelting, were under special pressure in connection with another sharp decline in the price of copper both here and in London and Ameri- can Smelling touched new low level for the year Gloomy reports were current of the copper trade outlook.
 A reduction in the price of refined sugar during the day was announced. The report of the net earnings of the Erie for the December quarter. show ing the previous years surplus con verted into a heavy deficit, explained the past weakness in the securities of that company. Railroad traffic ofic- ials in their usual weekly statement of views for publication were not reported in cheerful strain over the present state of traffic or the promises for tho immediate future. Some of the days depression came from foreign inf1uenc- es. The Macedonian question, an inn portant failure of a Scotch engineering firm, and professed apprehension over the relations between the United States and Japan were amongst these.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales par valie, S3.352,000
 L. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

The holders of railroad stocks have reason to be discouraged over the slow response that is being made by the item of operating costs to the decided fall in gross earnings. The feature of all of the monthly reports issued yes terday was the great expansion in ex- penses coincident with the heavy con traction in revenues. This was espe- cially pronounced in the statements made by the Erie and the Missouri Pacific, although in the case of the latter, the returns covered conditions Of nearly four months ago

Chief influencing factors which tend ed to depress stocks were the suit against Southern Pacific for alleged re- bates, rumor of new $50 900 bond issue by Union Pacific, and various suggestions regarding possible friction between the United States and Japen which might result in war. The last incident was ridiculed by Wall street though is was a fruitful topic of con versation. Probably the controversies of political campaign had quite as much as anything else to do with the selling of stocks by speculative inter- ests.

NEWSPAPER CRITICISM

Wincing under the exposures made
by the New Orleans Morning World,
Chief of Police Whitaker, of that city,
made a murderous attack on Editor
Leveque in the editorial rooms of
the World Thursday night. Two
shots were fired, neither of which
took effect.
Without a full knowledge of the
case, it can generally be said that
when public official attacks a news
paper editor for criticism of his con-
duct, the official has been hit in a
vulnerable spot If the charges are
untrue, they are powerless to injure
a public official, whose conduct is
more or less in the limelight at all
times.
A newspaper cannot indulge in false
charges and maintain its standing in
the community, which is of the great
est Importance to a newspaper, and
especially to a new one, as is the
World.
The murderous attack of the police
inspector, as he is officially known
in New Orleans, proves that he is
unfit for his office, and proves one
of the charges made by the World to
the effect that Whitaker was a
bully"
1t is strictly within the province of
a newspaper to criticise the acts of
public officials The way for them
to escape criticism is to so conduct
themselves as to need no admonition.
One fearless newspaper is Of more
value to the community than any other
one agency in reforming a corrupt
administration.
If the chief resented the charge
of the World that he was "black-
guard and bully" there was better
way to prove it's falsity than the one
taken.

FIXING UP FOR THE CENSUS

AS the time for taking the Census
OF 1910 approaches, a number of Sou
thern cities are hustling to make as
good a showing as possible. Since
the last census, the ambitious cities
have been steadily adding to their
figures by estimates based on school
census, directories, or other semi
official counts of a part of the popu-
lation.
Atlanta and Birmingham will run
a close race, the latter city having
made great strides in the last year
or two, in influx of immigrants and
in annexation of population. Both
are under prohibition and are thus
placed on equal footing on that
line. Both are aiming at figures that
will put them in a class in far-away
speaking distance of New Orleans,
which has been without a possible
competitor in the matter of popula-
ton in Southern cities since the
beginning of things.
AS an example of the lengths to
which the determination to show up
well in the census leads, the city
of Memphis, Tenn, before the last
census, annexed the greater part of
Shelby county, including swamps
and frogs. To police and improve such
a large area, even indifferently, has
been drain on the taxpayers. so
that the city almost overreached it
self in the desire to swell up in the
census.
OF course Americas will show a
large gain in population since the
census of 1900, though no new terri
tory will be taken in to accomplish
This result The city is compactly
built and the outlying districts are
not very densely populated. Still
with the completion of the new
street car system, the city will take
on new life at and beyond the termini
of the line, the easy access to
the business district making an ex-
| tension of the residence zone
The coming census will be the
most interesting one of all to the
South, as it will reflect the growth
/ in population of the most prosperous
decade in the history of this section
The showing will have a marked eff
feet on the country at large and will
| encourage the already marked trend
of immigration to this section, rath-
err than to the West.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Under the new ruling of the United
States Postal Department, which went
into effect on January /, 1908, daily
newspapers are prohibited, under
penalty, from sending papers by mail
to subscribers who are more than
three months in arrears. Under this
law it will be necessary for the
Times Recorder, in common with
other newspapers, to require all sub
scribers receiving their papers by
mail to keep their subscriptions paid
up to at least within three months. In
accordance with this, statements will
be mailed in a few days to all who
are more than three months in ar
rears, requesting remittances to
bring their subscriptions within the
limits laid down by the pOstOffice de-
partment at Washington.

man who has ever entered that hotel

Gotscha Bey, an Albanian, for in
citing his people to rebel against the
Government at C0nstantinople was

He is a harmless looking man, with
a gentle voice, which he can use in
six languages. He has one aim in
life-the liberation of Turkish dom
inion, and it is to further these aims
that he is in this country.
He said
Our country as we'll as others I'M

ces, minerals, wood and farm lands.
But the mines cannot be worked, the
forests felled or the fields titled just
because the Government forbids it,
fearing the introduction of modern
ideas, which might lead to revolu-
ton. A party known as Young

how far behind is Turkey, is quietly
