FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
MARROW SWING OF PRICES.
Market Neslected-Waiting for Clearer
LIGHT on Situation.

New York, Feb. 4-The professional
limitations of the current stock mar
ket restrict the swing of prices to a
comparatively narrow range. The con-
d1tion underlying the market is clear
~ one Of neglect and of waiting for
clearer light on the situation. The
investment demand for bonds contin-
ues excellent, the large daily volume
of business in existing issues at the
stock exchange being constantly sup
plemented by successive new issues
which are quickly taken up. The ex-
tent to which this process had been
carried and the various inroads on the
cash reserves Of the banks is at last
beginning to make some impression on
money rates. rather to the satisfaction
than otherwise of the banking com
munity. Call loans did not fall below
per cent. today, and the maximum
rose to 3 per cent, which makes the
record for the new year. The renew
ed call OF the secretary of the treas
ury upon the depository funds by Feb
ruary 20 offered the ostensible reason
for the lessened inclination of lenders
to accent bids recently prevailing for
loans. There was some increase Of de-
mand on the part of borrowers as well.
With the effect Of this hardening of
money rates transferred to the foreign
exchange market to lower rates there.
foreigners have shown an increased
disposition to sell stocks in New York.
Such selling was an influence in the
early depression in the stock market
today. Consolidated Gas exerted a de-
pressing influence by a drop which es-
tablished new low price for the year,
seemingly prompted by the determine
ton of the company to make a year s
trial of the 80 cent gas law, without
further effort to contest it in litigation.
The cheaper railroad stocks again sup
piled the sustaining points in the mar
ket on IDEAL" rumors, the Gould group
being conspicuous. There was some
growth in the influence on the general
list of these special points Of strength
in the course Of the day. Bonds were
irregular. Total sales. par value, S.
$50, 900. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

William Lynn, of Chicago,
National Organizer of the Journey
men Plumbers arrived in the city
Saturday and remained until Tues
day morning. He was quite busy
during his stay and as result of
his efforts the prospects of a local
plumbers union in the near future

making a tour of the state build
ing up the Organiztion of his craft
and is meeting with success att all
points. He left for Clarksburg
Tuesday morning.
The Plumbers organization has
made rapid strides throughout the
country in the past few years and
its membership is increasing
rapidly. Besides its elevation
along the trade union lines in secur-
ing better pay, shorter hours and
the general improvement of work
ing conditions, the Plumbers I'm
ion has many fraternal and insur-
ance features, among which are
substantial sick and death benefits,
out of work and strike relief. The
death benefit will be increased to
81, 900 within the next year.

city should lose no time in getting

Labor Sunday on the Sunday

order to bring the celebration of
this day into harmony with the
general plan of organized labor the
day was changed to the second
Sunday in May. This year Labor's
Memorial Day falls on Sunday.

The day should he made of such
significance that it Will encourage
those who are today engaged in
the task of uplifting our common
humanity. Working men will
thus have an opportunity to dem
