COMMENT ON MARKET.

G. Bowie Chapman, of e. +. Hutton &
To-day brought forth some real
liquidation, not only from tired holders
but from those who do not like the out

selling was seen i'm Atchison. Baltimore

specialtes where there was but little
short interest, creating sharp declines.
II is true that professionals sold stocks.

market and these operations We're not a

view of reports of further messages from
Washington and continued gloomy trade
reports This was sufficient 20 keep buy

ably the only feature IN the market
worthy OF attention was the strength I'm

MONEY IS FIRMER IN LONDON
Baltimore and Ohio and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Lead List, Although
Dany Roads Hit by Light Traffic So
Far This season-Money Higher.

New York, Feb. although to-day's
stock market was a good deal duller than
Il was yesterday, the total number OF
'.shares Of stocks turned over being but
16.oo0 as against yesterdays 404. 900. weak
IsSqess in the market was more pronounced,
prices declining under a seeming pauclty
OF buying power, although offerings Of
stocks were limited.
Something OF the same phenomnon was
exhibited, too. in the foreign markets,
where heaviness, if not exactly weak
mss, was again the rule. Money was once
more frmer n London by reason Of the
recurrence OF larger demands for funds,
indications of impending appeals TO the
money market and because OF current
re2aymen;s OF foreign loans; and ali the
leading foreign houses were affected by
ths same influence.
Prices here although firm at the outset,
soon fell under the lead Of sharp declines
IN two or three issues, and an impression
became general that much of the selling
OF stocks represented liquidation, rather
taap mere sDec0TGtion, for the fall.
Lowest at the Close.
The market during the day displayed
little resilieney, and quotations at the
close were at the days lowest figures
or at but trinlng advances therefrom,
particular features Of weakness being the
Baltimore and Ohio and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit stocks although considerable
declines were made by all standard shares.
Renewed stories of a reduction of the
1 next dividend distribution on Baltimore
land Ohio stock was probably more re-
sponsiole for the decline in this quarter
No reason was advanced for a rather un-
usua! fall in the price OF Twin City Rapid
Traasi; stock, and pressure upon the Nor
folk and Western, Reading, Delaware and
Hudson. ana tho shares of some of the
other eoai carrying railroad companies
was apparently referable to the circum-
stance that sales of coal in the winter sea-
son thus far have been below The normal
quantity.
American Ice Securities stock fell for
obvious reasons. and the .act attracted
very little attention.
Money May Be Higher.
Aside from these special causes general
reasons for the fall IN the market to-day
seemed to be largely in the nature of ex-
plantations which were hunted for rather
than those that were definitely IN evil
dence. More or less was heard OF sup
posed indications that the tide Of the
money situation was once more beginning
10 turn in the direction of higher rates.
II was also thought that to-morrow's
return from banks might perhaps be un-
1aVorably affected In this respect that
the money paid in by the banks to the
subtreasurer under the last call for re-
turn OF public Funds figured to but small.
If any, extent in last weeks bank state
j ment and would be wholly exhibited in
this weeks return. While il was regared
as not at all unlikely that the trust COM
panies had been Withdrawing money from
the banks in considerable volume this
week owing to their desire to make IS
favorable a showing as possible in the
conditions Tomorrow

teous ms well as brilliant. lie may even
be a salubrityn without bein~ intel
lectual or brilliant, so that from this is
proved the truth of Mr.. Bangs asser.
tion that a person may be celebrity
without being "salubrity,' and vice
versa. The speaker mentioned one
celebrity who could not be classed
among the salubritiesn and told an
amusing anecdote to back up his char
acterization. For the most part. how
ever, his talk dwelt with celebrities of
the salubrious type, and his stories of
incidents based on a personal acquaint-
ance with such people as the late Ian
Maclaren. A. Conan Doyle. Richard
Harding Davis, George AIDE, Chauncey
NJ. Depew. and the most strenuous
salubrity" of them all. Theodore
Roosevelt, were really delightful. Most
of the stories Were humorous. a few of
them were extremely pathetic. All of
them were cleverly and interestingly
told, and made one feel that Mr.. Bangs
himself must be q true salubrityo to
have gained such Joyous and whole
some outlook on the world.
The speaker was introduced by Mrs.
Clarke c. Fits. president of the club,
and previous to the talk Frederick c.
Adams sang group of songs.

The members of the Methodist

earned their dollar will be expected
to bring,it and tell how they earned it,.
There will be a musical program, after
which refreshments will be served.
The situation in the local milk
market remains practically the same as
it did nj the latter part of last week,
and by the men who are handling milk
as local agents on the car routes for the
rival Boston companies il is said that
the volume continues to increase rather
than decrease. Especially is this true
of the towns between Bellows Falls
and Brattleboro, for the amounts taken
on during the trip down the valley are
taxing the capacity of the ear to its
utmost. From the local market the two
rival dairy companies, Alden Brothers
and the Boston Dairy company, are
continuing to carry out about 40 cans
of milk daily, and the supply will
probably be continued indefinitely.

AMERICAN MUSIC.

Even the severest critic of American music-and most of the critics vie with each other for this title-cannot deny the presence of an extraordinary and ever-increasing creative impulse in American musical art. While, for req sons to be considered few American works in large forms come to general public performance, and scarcely to local, every year witnesses a notable increase of orchestral works, chamber music, piano and vocal works in large forms, and other compositions by American composers. Of smaller piano compositions and songs, the seasons bring forth an appalling quantity, and too often. it is true, an appalling quail ity as well; yet in the midst of this saturnalia appear many works of true distinction, of breadth and beauty, works infinitely in advance of those usually chosen to represent American music on artists programmes. And from time to time an American opera rises from the composers conscious ness to completion-never to perform ance-and sinks again into a mysteri- ous obscurity, oblivion. or temporary neglect,-we are fain to know which, Arthur Farwell, in the February At lantic

Knights of Pythias Celebrated Friday Night in Feastins and Story Telling.

Phoenix lodge No. 2, Knights of Py- thias. enjoyed an evenings entertain ment Friday night that it will long remember for it's stories and songs A large number of Knights visiting in the City were present. The menu of the banquet was not very elaborate but the after dinner speaking was elaborate to magnificent degree. J. H Langston acted as toastmaster and very ably filled the station. He gave a short address, referring to the birth of Pythianism. and introduced the various speakers with good will.
 Knight F. D. Lane representing the insurance department of the supreme lodge gave an interesting address fol- lowed by a good story. Others to give talks or tell stories were Knight Jones of Iowa, Knight Stevens of Oregon. Knight Zollinger of ohio and Knight Bargman of Indiana.
 Knight Morris of Oklahoma gave an entertainment of tricks and ventril- oquism. Knight Kinney, the inimita- ble lrishman of Phoenix lodge No. 2, made one of the evenings hits by singing a real Irish sOgn in real Irish dialect. Knights Cisney, Kane. Smith. Stauffer, Eaton. Hoefer and Evans were also among the prime actors of the evenings show.

Direct Lighting by Gasoline.

Direct lighting by gasoline is as far advanced today over the smoking gas oline flare light of l5 years ago as the electric lamp now used is ahead of the first incandescent electric lamp invented by Thomas Edison.
 Today incandescent gasoline gas lamps, fed by the direct system, are used in thousands of homes and busi- ness places. The system which is now considered safe. efficient and econom- ical is as follows:
 Any number of fixtures or chande- Hers, almost identically the same as the common gas fixtures. with the addition of a generator. can be lighted or turned out at will Each burner has it's separate generator and shut off valve, which makes 1t possible to turn the light up and down. This generator. usually placed just above the light. where it is heated by the light itself changes the gasoline as 1t passes through it into gas fit for burning on the mantles. On the large inverted arc lights, which have from 2,00O to 5000 candle power, the gener- ator is placed in a vertical position just below the mantles and is heated by the heat concentrated within the globe.
 The generator is a brass or copper tube, from a quarter to half inch in
