At A STANDSI|LL
Is Demand For Stocks--Professicna
Operations Yesterday Enhanced
Selling Pressure.

New York, Feb 5.-Today's market
gave early evidence that the demand
| for stocks had come practically to q
standstill. Selling pressure was en-
HANGED later by increased professional
Operations en- the short side. American
Smelling was the center of attack and
Its decline was influential in under
mining the whole warket. The pro
fessed motive for selling the stock
was the formation OF plans for compe
tition in business by allied interest
| In the metal mining industry. There
was nothing in the news of the day ia
and several items were construed as
positive factors of depression. Such
| was the report of the discharge of ten
| thousand men by the Baldwin Locomo-
! tive Works and the official intimation
that total shutdown of that import
ant Industrial concern was in contem-
plation failing to change in the pres
ent condition of the demand for its
llIOuuClS. hdiiiohu equipment lHuuS'
trials as a group naturally showed the
effect of this information. Additional
reports of net earnings for December
|otfered little premise of resources il
hand by railroads for pushing eXpendi.
lures. Compared with December In
1906 the percentage Of decreases in
some important railroad systems to-
day reporting net earnings for Deem
Der were: Y
Southern Pacific q per cent; Union
Pacific, 10; Norfolk and Western, ~;
Lehigh Valley, 80; and for six months
ending December 81. Louisville and
Nashville reports decrease OF % per
cent, compared with the previous year.
The summary of results from A roads
previously reporting for the Deem
Der average shrinkage in net earnings
in the same comparison of 2r,G0 per
cent. Discussion OF tho dividend pros
pect was not cheerful in the face of
these returns and several industrials
were the object of unfavorable esti-
mates of more specified kind.
Some hardening of the time money
market was perceptible today and for
eign exchange rates continued to de-
cline. The remarkable feature of the
price movement of stocks was the un
interrupted nature of the decline
Even at the last, when room traders
are accustomed to take the days pro-
fits by covering short contracts, there
was no resiliency and the last prices
were commonly the lowest.

Novel Engineering Idea.

The novel idea of German mining
engineer is an endless rope band as a
pump in boreholes. This absorbs a
large quantity of Oil. or salt and acid
solutions. and the liquid is squeezed
out between rollers as the rope is
drawn upward. As the only weight
to be lifted is that of the liquid on
the ascending side the method is sug.
gested as economical for draining
-aiues as well as pumping oil.

City Council this afternoon adopted an
ordinance combining the sales of IL.
quor on prescription to one drug store.
present licenses to continue ten days.
The single drug firm to be licensed
by payment of $40 quarterly is yet to
be selected. The ordinance also re-
quires the chief of police to inspect
the prescription files monthly and pub
lish the number given by each physi-
clan. his name and the total amoHnt
OF liquor prescribed by same. 1t also
provides that the names OF all patients
who procure more than half q gallon
during the month shall be published.
The ordinance was recommended by
the Guilford County Medical Society.
owing to alleged abuse OF the present

charge that it will only benefit the
Virginia mail order liquor houses by
transferring trade to them from

According to reliable reports, the spe-
cial committee OF the board of school
trustees, appointed to investigate a re-
cent controversy between Superinten-
dent of Schools w. c. Morton and Pro-
lessor j. w. rinsley, principal OF the
High School. has decided to recon-
mend that Professor Tinsley be re-
moved from his position. 1t Is under-
stood further that the committee will
report that both officials were equally
at fault, and 1t is possible that steps
against the superintendent may be
taken before the State Board of Edit
cation.
superintendent Morton and Profes-
scr Tinsley had a row In the High
School building several days ago, and
some pretty harsh language was used.
Mr.. Morton preferred chages against
the pincipai, and Mr.. L. w. Huffman
n member of the board. was the prin-
cipal witness. 1t Is generally believed
that an adverse report upon the work
of Professor Tinsley, made by Profes.
SO Morton to the school boad, was re-
spsnsible for the trouble.

EXPLOSION ON SHIP
Three Negroes Killed and Vessel IL
Practically Ruined.

Three Negroes h1lIcd nn0 NeeSel ~
Practically Ruined.
PHILAL4 .rHIA, Pa, June 2o.-As
the result Of an explosion on the HAM
burg American line freight steamship
Arcadia, as she lay in her berth at
the Washington Avenue Wharf Della
ware River, to-day. three negro steve
dorcs are dead. and q score Of other
workmen are injured.
The Arcadia arrived here yesterday
from Hamburg. The explosion. the
cause OF which is not definitely known,
occurred In the after hatch. while
twenty five stevedores were in the hold
unloading the cargo, which was OF
general character. Fire followed the
explosion, and the steamer was Sc
riously damaged before the flames
were extinguished. In the effort to
put out the 1i. the Arcadia was
practically ..ied with water.
Many theories as to the cause of
the accident have been advanced. One
OF them is that bomb or internal
macnine may have been hidden in the
hold. Men who are familiar with
steamships believe. hover, that
spontaneous combustion.' due to the
generation of gases from the damp
ness In the hold, caused the explo-
sion.
The injured. the majority of whom
arc negroes, Will recov
