FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
STEEL TRADE DEVELOPMENTS.
Responsible for Halt In Stock Speeu-
 Iatien--WhoIe Market Affected.

New York, Feb. 1s-Ths latest de- vslopments in the iron and steel trade have resulted in great confusion of opinion over possible consequences. This state of confusion was respon- sibls for the halt in speculative &C., tivity in the stock market late today The belief is common that a large waiting requirement exists in the steel trade which will come out with signs of revival in industry. The policy of the United States Steel corporation in holding prices up to this time has been based on the assumption that other causes than unduiy high prices have deferred this demand and that it would develop as soon without cutting prices to attract it. The present move seems to belle that assumption and to point to the conclusion, at least, that the leading interest was losing more of the lessened current volume of business than its managers believe it can afford Now the question ac- lively canvassed is whether the open market for steel which has been de- termined on will overcome other ob- stacles to the demand and set the in dustry promptly on its feet. The state ment was current that the leading steel makers had canvassed the rail- roads in the country thoroughly with a view to ascertain what volume of orders for steel rails would be brought by a cut from BPS to $25 a ton. The result was reported to show a failure to bring out the amount of arders deemed necessary to justify the ac- tion. In this case the great deterrent to present action fin placing orders is said to be the uncertainties of the tariff changes and the likelihood that a new adjustment of prices must be made anyhow when the new duties are fixed. The realization that the same difficulty must apply in greater or less degree to the market for all steel prod ucts comphcates the whole problem The liquidation of United States Steel continued on a very large scale both for home and foreign markets today The whole market was affected but in varying degrees. The copper indus trials showed more sympathy with United States Steel today than yes terday. This was partly accounted for by reports of another drastic reduc- tion in the price at which leading pro- ducers were offering refined copper. On the other hand there were points of resistance in the railroad list The S1uthern Pacific bond issue. although expected in an indefinite way, came as a surprise in many of its details. The $82.000.000 to be offered proved larger than generally looked for The decision to offer the issue to stock holders at a price designed to form privilege seemed to be taken in it's favor The two Hartman stocks were inclined to frmness after the bond is- sue was announced. The money mar ket was not materially affected by the estimates of the weeks currency movement which indicated unimport- ant cash net changes. Bonds were ir- regular. Total sales. par value, S4 16,G0O. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Great Things Expected of Sensational

Sensational time is freely predicted by all trainers and railbirds at the two minute track at Memphis, Tenn. for The Harvester, the four year old trotter fin charge of Ed Geers, the noted driver.

He then went to his winter home, where he has enjoyed uninter- rupted health and prosperity as the nearly 40 trotters or pacers.
 No speed has been attempted vet by Geers with the young phenom, but the manner in which he has responded to the mild work administered has fm- pressed florsemen with the fact that The Harvester Is the same level. head ed, fBigh-bred race horse that he was during the campaign, except that he fs grander looking now.

 No decision was given by the ref cree. but it was the opinion of a ma jority of the members that Driscoll was entitled to the honors.
 At the conclusion of the contest both men were in good condition and could probably have gone on for many more rounds. The experts who watched their every move were a unit in saw ing that nothing short of a twent or twenty -1ve-round go would be suffi- cient to determine a decisive superi- ority of either man. There was not much betting done on the outcome.

TWENTY TEAMS OF
 SIX-DAY PEDESTRIANS
Race in Madison Square Garden, Start
 ing March 7th.

As the. purpose of the management of the six-day pedestrian race which starts midnight March l, in Madison Square Garden, New York, is to hold the contest down to a field of not more than twenty picked teams great care is Eeing exercised in the final selection of the men from the hundred or more applicants already listed as probable contestants.
 Among the prominent foreign teams who have signed the agreement for [ 2 race the most noteworthy combination is Eduardo Cibot and Louis Orphee. the very best pedestrians that could Ee found in France to represent their na - tive country. Cibot is an endurance performer of great reputation and his partner, Orphee, equally well known. was a ccmpetitcr in the 155 kilometer road race recently held from Rouen to Paris.
 Another notable foreign entry is tdat of Ferri. the champion distance run ner and walker of Italy, who holds the record of having beaten Dorando Pic tr1, the famous Italian Marathon race runner.
 The final choice of the teams to ~sp- resent England and Germany Is being held in abeyance until tests which are to reduce the selection to a matter of actual performance have been made
 The combination which has arouse l comment in the pairing of the Ameri- can entries Is Mike Spring, the Mara thon and long distance runner, with Ed Adams, the veteran road and en- durance racer. Spring has made a great record in amateur pedestrian races in New York and has only re- gently entered the professional ranks, while Adams, known as the winner of the 1900 miles road race from Mime apolis to New York. two years ago. is considered an excellent mate for the fleet Spring.

SECOND LoNG8oAT IN
 CARLISLE INDIAN STUDENT.
Te~anins, the Hopi Indian, Shows Promise eff Great Form as Distance Runner.

Carlisle, Pa. Feb. 16.-Lewis Few anina- the youthful Hopi stdent at the carlisle Indian school, who has Jumped into fame in the last year because of his remarkable long distance running. is an odd Individual. He came to the Carlisle school two years ago. with eleven other Hopis or Moqui Indians. from northern Arizona. Lewis. as a boy, had often followed the govern ment mail carrier on foot over the Arizona plains, and was an adept at the popular pastime among the Moqui youth who raced on set courses around the mountains where their homes lay, kicking small football before them as they progressed. He was the only one cf his trfte to take an interest in ath- letics at Carlisle. He learned English very slowly, but came up to the ordi- nary academic standard, considering his opportunities.
 Indian CDiIch Warner allowed rim t1 try at two miles during the summer of 1907. Increasing this distance, Warner discovered Tewanina's unusual ability as long distance. runner. It Is sup posed that mountain climbing at his home has given him his remarkable wind. At the Olympic Marathon in London Tcwanina who had baday swOl- len knees. and who evidently suffered agonies throughout the race, came IT. ninth. had he been In good condition what he would have done is more than problematical. He was handicapped severely by rain and mud in the Yon- kers, N. Y. Mara hon, and won the big Pastice club race of ten miles in New York city with ease over a big field.
 Tewanina weighs 110 and IS about , feet inches tall. His features are somewhat wizened. but he has lum1- nous brown eyes. He is very popular with his schoolmates here and is hailed enthusiastically when he runs. He Is taciturn to an unusual degree, but, ac- cording to his scnoolmates. that is not due to moroseness, but rather to nat ural modesty or diffidence. Mike Mur- phy, the Pennsylvania trainer, has picked Tewanina as one of the greatest of prospective American runners, say ing that he will unquestionably make the country's best ten-miler if proper ly trained

the train would be put on inside of

were at work on the matter but had
not decided whether the new train
