NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK Feb. 16.-The stock market to-
day proved itself unready to follow the ad-
vance of yesterday, and thus disappointed the
hopes OF the speculation The later hours of
the session today saw conditions as stagnant
as at any time last week.
The Londond market led the way. AS the
foreign situation was largely influenced IN
shaping speculative sentiment yesterday IN
New York, the contrary movement there To-Day
was of important sympathetic effect. The re-
duction in the official discount rate of the
Imperial Bank of Germany confirmed the I'M
pr ession of the downward course of the in
teresr rates abroad and the promise Of a po-
tential source Of demand for investment which
grows out of accumulations in banking re-
serves.
The indication thus given of the course of the
money markets was confirmed in a convincing
way of the news that the trust companies IN
New York were sending out notlces 10 oepos-
itors of the interest paid on deposits. Inc
ate of interest paid by these institutions on
different classes of deposits has ranged from 3
to per cent, and has served as potent rae
tor to draw in deposits from all over the
country.
With the prevailing low rates for money and
the legal reserve requirements up 10 10 per
cent of deposits which was imposed on the
trust companies on February 1, they find them
selves unable to use these funds on terms that
will reimburse them for such high rates 10 the
depositors.
The supply of new issues of bonds continues
very large The market had under discussion
today $40, 00O 900 Austrian loan an Irish land
purchase loan, a New York city SlO,OOO 0GO cor
porate stock issue, and a coming Burlington
bond issue of probably $50 900, 900 or upward
Whether owing to these large prospective re
ouirements or from mere sympathy with the
tone of the market the bond division today
was inclined to droop. The heaVlness OF the
Erie issues had some influence on this result
The passing of the years interest on the
Texas & Pacific second incomes was another
unfavorable influence on the bond market al
though that influence is Of the class with rev
qualifications of a bond properly so-called.
The Indifferent rumors of coming cut IN
steel prices led to a thorough canvass OF the
authorities in the trade.
The reported illness of the president Of the
American Smelling and Refining company mill
tated against its stock, and with sympathetic
effect elsewhere.

CHARGES AGAINST POLICE
SURGEON WILEY ARE MADE
Civil Service Commission Sets March
as Date for Trial of
Doctor

Charges against Assistant Police Sur
geon Edwin S. Wiley were presented
to the civil service commission last
night, and DR.. Wiley's trial fixed for
Tuesday, March 9. 1t is expected this
trial will take some time, as both sides
have a number of witnesses to exam
inc.
The charges are preferred by Henry
l.. Hathaway, son Of Henry Hathaway,
ST., and it is on the treatment of his
father by DR.. Wiley that the charges
are based.
Mr.. Hathaway charges that a week
ago his father was knocked down by a
carriage and his skull farctured. He
says the injured man was taken to the
central station and there pronounced
drunk by DR.. Wiley and thrown into
the drunk tank. 1t was not until some
time later that the real condition of
Mr.. Hathaway was detected and he
was taken into the receiving hospital
and treated. He was later sent to the
county hospital, and it was several days
before he recovered consciousness.
1t is charged DR.. Wiley is incompe-
tent, and Mr.. Hathaway asks his re-
mOval.
Henry Hathaway, who was run down
by hanson cab at Seventh and Olive
streets, died at the county hospital
last night of his injuries. Hathaway,
who was more than so years old, was
crossing the street at Seventh and
Olive streets on the way to his hotel
when he was struck and knocked down
by cab of the WestIake stables
driven by E. M. Hough.

IMPROVED PASTURAGE
CAUSES DROP IN BUTTER
EGGS DECLINE AN ADDITIONAL
TWO CENTS
Retailers Blk Egg Consumers with
Stiff Prices-M exican Toma-
toes Decline

AS a direct result of the rains and conse-
quent improved condition of pasturage, butter
declined 212c two-pound roll in the Los An
geles market yesterday. The new quotation
for creamery extra butter is 7214c, and for
frsts 6715c.
There was an additional drop of &c in the
selling price of local eggs, bringing the quota
tion to 25Q26c dozen. The buying price was
lowered Sc. to 22c a dozen.
With the big drop in eggs to more than 15c
a dozen in the past ten days the retail price,
it is declared, has. not followed the wholesale
price. Many retail dealers sofd eggs yester-
day at 40c dozen, and bilked the unwary in
consequence. Fresh ranch eggs could have
been retailed with profit at 30QS5c and the
square dealers sold within this range.
Mexican tomatoes declined to $1.7542 a
basket. Other vegetables were unchanged.
The demand for citrus fruit improved, and
dealers predicted a steady business for the
next month
Apples continued to be good sellers. Bananas
were scarce and firm at 412c pound.
Halibut supplied the fish market. Other fish
were scarce. Game was also scarce.
