NEW YORK. February 3.-Price
changes in todays market. except in a
small number of issues. were extremely
limited. and the dealings showed con-
siderable ontyaction in activity in COM
parison with those of yesterday. The
market, as whole, retained, however.
the firm tone which had been exhibited
since the opening of the week. 1t is prob
ably the case that the short interest has
been materially curtailed since Monday
morning. but further operations for that
account have not been conducted upon a
large scale and liquidation seems TO be
entirely missing.
The days situation at large comprised
no striking developments bearing directly
upon the market for securities 1t was
again the case that little no attention
was paid to the progress of the anti
Japanese legislation in the far western
states, although here obviously is sub
ject possessing serious potentialities.
The renewed advance in the grain mar
ket was likewise disregarded, chiefly be-
cause the movement there was based
upon foreign rather than domestic agri-
cultural conditions.

Some Striking Movements.

After midday there was some increase
In respect OF activity chiefly in connec-
ton with the rather striking movements
scored in Chesapeake and Ohio and
Western Maryland.
Chesapeake and Ohio was actually the
most striking feature Of the days deal
ings, and the heavy and persistent buy
ing of the stock was variously accounted
for.
According to some reports the syn
dictate which recently acquired a large
block of the stock, but only minority
holding, was desireus of strengthening
its position. Other reports were to the
effect that the buying Of the stock was
Of a competitive character.
The extensive rise in Western Maryland
was attributed to the progress making
in the reorganization of the company s
affairs. and IT was said that some i'm
portant announcements in this respect
could be counted upon within a short
time. Transactions in the usually active
railway stocks were upon greatly re-
duced scale and resulted in limited huc-
tuations.
Dealings in the bond market were
maintained upon fair scale of activity.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-02-03
Money Market Unaltered.

Money market and foreign exchange
circumstances were again practically un-
altered. American shares were steady in
the London stock market, and foreign
houses were once more buyers here. al
though upon an extremely small scale.
Copper securities were particularly
strong in the London market. and Anal
gamated Copper was firm in the local
dealings. Foreign advices report some
betterment in copper trade conditions. al
though the improvement there has thus
far found no reflection locally. In fact,
a further reduction in the selling prices
for the metal was announced today.
Other firm features Of the industrial and
miscellaneous groups were American
Smelling. American Telephone and Tele-
graph and American Car and Foundry.
The United States Steel shares were COM
paratively sluggish.
The local traction issues were likewise
dull. and Brooklyn Rapid Transit failed
to give material response to the continued
rumors of the early institution of divi-
dends upon the stock.

tional advances. and ruled firm. but ex-

Birds on the Farm.

Among the farmers best friends
are the birds that visit his fields
and orchards. The good that
they do is not often appreciated.
We are certain to notice the loss
of crop through insect pests;
but when the crop is good, it sell
dom occurs to US to think that it
might have been lost but for the
good Offices of friends or favor
able conditions.
Insect enemies are almost al
ways present in sufficient num-
bers to do considerable damage
if they are not kept in check by
their enemies. One of the best
regulators of insect life is the
birds. n the winter months the
trees are thoroughly searched by
chickadees, which pick up insect
eggs and tear open cocoons and
nests. These birds eat seeds as
well, and can be attracted to the
place by being fed hayseed. suet,
and other dainty bits.
Various members of the wood
pecker family are to be seen dur
ing the winter. The flicker re-
mains in Colorado throughout
this season and busies itself hunt
ing hiding insects of all kinds.
They are especially fond of wood
boring grubs, ants, cocoons of
various insects, and eat insect
eggs whenever they are TO be
found. When we consider the
number of these small creatures
required for the meal of a bird,
and the power these have of re-
producing themselves If left un-
destroyed, we can get some idea
OF the benefit derived from this
winter work
The horned lsrks are to be
found in the fields during the
greater part of winter. While
their food consists chiefly of weed
seed, any insect which is unfor.
tunate enough to expose itself is
likely to be pounced upon.
The meadow larks return with
the early spring. and in some
parts of the state remain all win
ter. AT this season they search
everywhere for cutworms, which
form a large portion of their diet
Cutworms are among the wors
insect enemies of the farmer
They are almost always more o.
less abundant and do injury
which does not attract much at
tention because OF the small
amount. but which in the ag
gregate must be of considerable
importance.
The biackbirds often do yer,
great service eating caterpillar
from field crops, especially nea
the bodies of water where thes,
birds make their homes.
Most hawks and owls are o
distinct value to the farmer. par
ticularly the larger species. They
live chiefly on mice. rabbits anC
gophers. with a few small bird
for a relish. Great harm is Otter
done by the indiscriminate xii
ling of these birds.
