THE STOCK MARKET Bears Meet Little Success in Attempt to Depress

 To-day.

First prices for most stocks were higher, some of the gains being 1-2 to 3-4 point. Strong issues were Smelt- CTS Union Pacific. Reading and United States Steel. With drive" against Amalgamated Copper, as a result of the weak condition of the metal market and reported light demand, the bears tried to depress the general market But they made little head way. After Amalgamated Copper reached a point to 45 5-S and Smelt- ing the same amount to 5 5-S, there was a general rally But at midday trading became very dull and. it looked as if the market had reached its nat ural level for the time being Early in the afternoon leading issues were moderately higher than Mondays closing figures.

The news of the day which Wall street interpreted as encouraging was the advices from Washington alleging that both houses of congress are like ly to take early action to pass the Ald- rich bill in modified form, and that the discussions are likely to be shorter than was supposed Of course, there Is nothing definite along this line at the present time, but Wall street likes to believe reports according as 1t wants stocks to go up or down.

From a stock market point of view the position of Amalgamated Copper is weak so long as supplies of the metal continue at high water mark here and abroad. For while last month it looked as though these sup plies might be reduced, as Germany and France both took advantage of the 13-cent price of stock up. But the industrial depression abroad has made it unwfse for consumers to overload themselves even at such bargain quo tations. Consequently export demand is steadily falling. This demand has been sustaining feature in the mark ct, and, without it, metal prices are now back approximately to the 1907 level This makes some people more bearish on Amalgamated now than they have been at any time

It is a little early to estimate the in- fiuenee on tho general bond market of the successful New York city sale. So far that incident has not stimulated either businegs or prices. The special weakness of a few issues, like Inter- Met 1-2s, and some members of the Gould group, have stood out proml- hently in a rather quiet market.

Exchange brokers oversold the mar ket on the idea that there would be heavy foreign placement of the city bonds. But it turns out that bids were too low to secure as large portion as was desired. On this account there was heavy covering of demand ster- ling to-day and a rise of about 1-2c. This operation partially offset the nor nal response of the market to high ~ rate here for money.

SCIENTIFIC TEST
IDAHO TIMBER
UNIVERSITY WILL CONDUCT
TESTS FOR THE GOVERNMENT
SEEKING DEFINITE INF0RMA-
TI0N ON RELATIVE VALUES.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The
State University of Idaho, located
at Moscow, has just entered into a
cooperative agreement with the
en- a series of tests to determine the
relative value of the commercial
timbers of the state. All the tests
will be made at he university in ac-
cordance with the methods used by
the government, and at least once a
year a testing engineer of the forest
service will make a careful inspec-
ton and report upon the progress of
the work.
These tests will be of considerable
value in ascertaining for what pur-
poses and uses the timbers of Idaho
are best adapted. Bridge stringers
will be tested to determine the fit
ness of different special for the con-
struction of trestles and bridges; the
spike-holding power will also be in
vestigated to determine just what
species can be advantageously used
for railroad ties, and tests will be
made to determine the relative hard
ness, which property is very impor.
tant in material used for paving
brooks. The forest service at othel
laboratories in various parts of the
country is making tests on impor
tant timbers from other sections
and by corporations with the serv
| ice the university will secure results
which will furnish an accurate basis
for comparing Idaho timber will
timber from other states.
At this period, when the suppl,
of different species which practica
utilization has shown to be wei
adapted to the needs of various in
dustries is being rapidly exhausted
substitutes for the disappearing
species are being eagerly sought
The timber tests as carried on b.
the government are designed t
show how hard, tough, stiff an
strong different woods are, in thi
way making it possible to determin
intelligently what special will bes
serve as substitutes for the one

The feature of the council meet
ing last night was the announce
ment made by l.. l.. Haynes of the
Idaho Brick company that in the
event the city decides to pave it's
streets with brick his company
would be prepared to furnish the
paving brick at a cost much less
than it would be possible to bring
brick from outside points.
Mr.. Haynes explained that he had
not yet manufactured vitrified brick.
but had made such tests with h.s
material as would assure him that it
would vitrify and by the installa-
tion of a special repressing machine
the company would be prepared to
manufacture the street paving
product
Mr.. Haynes was preceded by En-
gineer G. L. Sawyer of Seattle, whc
told of the experience of other cities
in securing the best material fol-
street paving purposes. Mr.. Saw

NOT FAVORABLE
TO SALARY CUT.
CITY ADMINISTRATION STANDS
FOR ONLY SUCH REDUCTIONS
AS WILL NOT MAR THE EFFI-
CIENCY OF THE SERVICE.

1T is not the policy of the city
administration to reduce the wages
of any OF it's employees below what Is
necessary to provide living" said
Mayor Heitfeld today, when asked
relative to the payment of $50 to
Street Superintendent Payne and
$3.50 for the salaries in the city at
torney's office.
"The question of a reduction in
the city's operating expense has oeen
before the council at various times,
and it has always been the policy
of the administration to curta1I
wherever possible, without interfer-
ing with the efficiency of the serv-
ice. The general discussion of re-
duction in salaries which has been
before the people for the past sew
eral weeks has not been acted upon
by the council further than the pas
sing of a motion instructing the
heads of the various departments to
make any curtailments possible.
''This action was carried out ana
from the reports last night it will be
seen that a saving of several hum
dred dollars has been made in re-
/ duction in the number of men er1-
rloved in the street and engineering
departments.
"At one time it was suggested
that general reduction in salaries
would be necessary to prevent the
existence of a deficiency before the
close of the fiscal year, but the re-
cent sale of water bonds has elimi-
mated that possibility, and as I
have said, the administration is not
favorable to the reduction of wages
below living scale.
because of an emergency exist
ing last fall, the council trans
ferred several thousand dollars from
the general to the water fund, ex-
pecting to reimburse the general
fund when the sale of the water
bonds was negotiated The panic
striking the country at the time the
bonds were placed on the market
4. prevented the sale. and the talk OF
proportionate reduction in salaries
was discussed at time when Il was
feared the general fund would not
{ be reimbursed. The bonds have sincs
been sold, and before any official ac-
tion taken relative to general re-
: duetion in salaries"
I The emergency referred to by
5 Mayor Heitfeld consisted of the me-
t cessity of purchasing pipe and equip
e ment for the water department,
t which should be paid for by the
: funds secured from the bond issue
t The money was loaned from the gem
e oral fund to make these purchases
i. and now that the sale of bonds has
been negotiated, will be returned.
The proposed reduction in the at
torney's Office was at the time wher
it was not expected the city wouIt
have funds with which to complete
2 the codihcation Of the ordinances
but this embarrassment has ais
been relieved with the restoration o
the funds from the water depart
ment, and the evtra work in this Of
fee will be completed within a shor
time.
( 1t is expected a material reduction

news office and the engineers fore
will be made within few weeks
