Upward Movement of Week
Past Stopped Today.
PRICES SUFFER DECLINE
Urgency of Liquidation Nor Pressure
to Cover Shown.
FLUCTUATIONS ARE NARROW
Missouri Pacific Prominent in the
Trading-Advance Later Carried
Some Stocks to High Levels.
PRICES SUFFER DECLINE
FLUCTUATIONS ARE NARROW

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. March 1.-THE fairly rapid
upward movement of stocks during this
week past was succeeded this morning by
a period of quiet, foreshadowed by the
events of yesterday, when for the first
time in several days prices suffered de-
cline. The mornings market showed
neither urgency of liquidation nor pressure
TO cover short sales. 1t was firm and
steady. with no appearance of irregular
ity. Transactions during the morning
were on smaller scale than has been
the rule lately. and fluctuations were
naturally narrower. 1t was a market
that afforded more satisfaction to the
comparatively small bullish element than
to the large outstanding short interest
Missouri Pacific stood out in the trad
ing because of its abrupt advance or
nearly three points In the dull morning S
trading. There was no suspicion in finan-
cial circles of any new developments in
the Gould properties. and the advance in
Missouri Pacific was simply credited to
short covering operations.
There was a report from Washington
today that several railroads in Kansas.
including the Missouri Pacific, were join
ing in an action to have the maximum
tariff regulation edict of the state rail-
road commission declared confiscatory,
and so prevent its going into operation.
But any possible effect Of such an action
on Missouri Pacific is negligible in the
present situation Of the road.
Strong Upward Movement Later.
In the later morning there was gen.
eral advance in the market that carried
up such stocks as Union Pacific, Read
ing. Pennsylvania and other recognized
leaders. to the highest levels they have
reached on the present movement. The
market was strong and the upward move
ment broad and sustained.
The reason for the advance might have
been found in two causes: one, the Sold
out condition of the market, and the other
a report that the President, as mentioned,
was in favor of allowing the railroads to
advance their freight rates, and even de-
sirous of seeing such an action accom-
plished in order that there should be no
cut in the wages of labor.
1t is believed that before long the
presidents OF number Of the leading
trunk lines of the country will apply to
the interstate commerce commission for
permission to make horizontal advance
in freight rates and that the commission
will agree to the proposition.

THE suPERANNUAT1oN CLAUSE.
Senate Will Substitute That In Last
Years Appropriation Bill.

The "sunerannuation clause in the
legislative, executive and judicial appro-
pria ton bill, affecting government CLERKS
will be reported to the Senate by the ap-
propriations committee in practically the
same ineffective form as it was enacted
last year.
The subcommittee. consisting OF Sena-
tors Cullum. Warner, Hemenway, Teller
and Daniel, which is considering the
present bill, has stricken out the section
which was put in the bill in the House
few weeks ago, and which was more
drastic than even the House committee
has advocated heretofore. Last year S
section of the bill. as passed, has been
substituted as a whole. This is the pro-
vision that 1.-The appropriations herein
made for the officers. clerks and persons
employed in the public service shall not
be available for the compensation OF any
persons incapacitated otherwise than tenn
porarily for performing such service, ana
the heads Of departments shall cause
this provision to be enforced
The otherwise than temporarily phrase,
as it is called, was invented by the Senate
subcommittee a number of years ago 10
annul the effect of the House provision.
1t has been expected all along that the
Senate would do as Of old in dealing with
this subject at the present session. put
the fact that more drastic and diHer-
emily Worded section came over from the
House a few weeks ago gave rise to the
question as to exactly how the thing could
be done. The subcommittee, in SUBSTITUTE
ing as a whole the corresponding section
of the act of last year, took the bull by
the horns.
The subcommittee will probably be ready
to report on the bill this week. and it is
expected that the full committee will
meet and indorse this report to the Senate
at once.
No opposition to the approximation
clause" as it will be reported by the
committee, is anticipated on the floor Of
the Senate.
