NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb 27.-The professional con-
tingent was active today during the short ses-
sion Of the stock exchange which ended the
short week, and their opening showed great
variety and irregularity. The strong upward
impetus during the first hour carried prices
to the highest level since the demoralized
break at the opening of the week.
The earlier reflection of the market was a
reflection to some extent from foreign mar
kets, where the Frightening of the prospect of
settlement between Austria and Servia is
hailed as a welcome relief Operators who pro-
fessed to have read the inaugural address of
the incoming president expressed satisfaction
with it's tenor and a belief that business con-
hdence would be fostered by its contents
There were in circulation in the financial
district well defined reports that prospects
were shaping for moderation in the revision
of the tariff and that the force Of events in
the steel trade might be expected to have
their influence in that direction.
The small net changes at the end of the day
in spite Of the considerable volume of trans
actions offer strong presumptive evidence Of
sales on account among the professional trad
ers on the floor of the exchange as the prin-
cipal sources of activity.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
81, 1885, 900. Government IS coupons advanced Il
per cent on call during the week.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Special service to The Herald by Dick Bros.
& Co, members Chicago Board of Trade. Brad
bury building. Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, Feb 27.-Great nervousness was
displayed at the opening when May wheat
sold from $1.1SK to S119, the minute. July
also made new high record with the first
trades covering range from S1.05A to 81 .057.
Half an hour later both months were back
about 1 cent from the high point. After II
O clock there was second rally to within &c
Of top figures. This followed by a natur-
al reaction at the close due to quite general
profit taking in both months. The close was
a little under the Friday closing figures and
ing week. The bull leaders bought wheat mod
erately at the opening. There is less dis
position to watch for sales long wheat
from that source. Conditions developing
in such d way that many who were disbe-
levers in the advance thirty days back are
now seeing the situation in a different light
and regard the position a strong one the
world over. There are some reports here from
Texas and Kansas counties indicating doubt
ful promise Of growing wheat. 1t is hardly
reasonable to expect that favorable condi-
tions like the present will continue over the
winter wheat states for the next thirty days
1t will require but very little in the way Of
crop damage news to add greatly to the
strength under the market and increase vol
ume of outside buying.
1t seems next to impossible to get any very
decided setback to corn prices. The bears in
the local trade have made such poor head
way that they have given up the fight Re-
ceipts today were way over the estimates, but
all the corn seems to be placed readily and is
no weight on the speculative trade. We still
believe this speculative trade will give prices
a setback in profit taking in the near future
Oats trade is not showing any activity at
this time. If there develops the usual big
shipping demand during the spring months
leaders may easily go into the speculative mar
ket and start it UP, as was done three weeks
ago.
Hog products all closed at a little advance
for the day. There is persistent support in
the market which is hard to explain on any
other theory than buying of product by in
vestors on all soft spots. People in cash trade
call demand fairly good Local shorts were
buyers at times today. Hogs for Monday are
estimated at $4,000; for next week 200 0Oo

Scheme Of Old Age Pensions.
The report said that in following
the Instructions of the 1908 conven-
tion, bill had been drawn up to
provide for old-age pensions. To over
come constitutional difficulties this
had been made a bill to organize un-
der the War Office an old-age home
guard, in which no person under SIS
should be enlisted. Those enlisted
should not be possessed Of property
amounting to more than s1,50O, or
an income of more than S24C year.
Man and wife should not both be en-
listed. All enlisted should be paid
$3.50 year in quarterly instruments,
with deduction of $40 ger year for
every 800 wortl. of property in ex-
cess of 5000, and for every $40 per
annum in excess OF $50 possessed by
persons enlisted. No one enlisted
should be required to leave his or her
home for enlistment or service, their
duty being to forward annually to the
Secretary Of War a statement of
military and patriotic sentiment in
the communities in which they live.
After stating the constitutional diff
fieulties which tits plan is arranged
to overcome, and also he general
principles upon which the demand for
old-age pensions is based, the report
says that the funds for these pen
sions should be provided by tax on
property, incomes, requests and in
heritances, so far as 1t is within the
power Of the Federal Government.
The bill, as outlined in the report,
will be referred to special committee
of the convention.

TO SAVE
The 10 HOUR LAW
ILLINOIS WAGE FARMERS WORK
ING IN INTEREST OF STATUTE
DESPITE INJUNCTION ISSUED
BY JUDGE RESTRAINING IT'S
ENFORCEMENT.

The women wage earners and legal
authorities of Illinois have no idea OF
abandoning the fight to save the ten
hour law for women passed by the last
legislature of that state, notwithstand-
ing the injunction issued by Judge
Tuthill against the enforcement of the
law. Louis D. Brandeis of Boston, he
special counsel. engaged by them to
continue the fight, has gathered an
extraordinarily large amount of ma
teria1 on which to base his brief for
presentation of the case to the state
supreme court.
That the conditions in all countries
where women are compelled to work
will be presented to the Illinois iur-
lists is shown by a letter received by
Prof. Charles r. Henderson of the Uni
versity of Chicago. Professor Hender-
son has gathered large mass of ma
terial on conditions in European coun-
tries, all of which has been sent to
Brandeis in Boston at the latter's re-
quest.
Factory Conditions BAD. =
Professor Henderson travelled III Eu-
rope considerably during the past
summeh investigating the conditions
among, the, working class, He declares
that the industries of the United States
have the most advanced machinery
but when it comes to caring for the
workers who run the machines he
claims that conditions in this country
are barbarous.
Brandeis, as special counsel for the
state of Oregon, presented the SUI
preme court of the United States with
information concerning the laws gov
erntng the length of time which women
are allowed to work in foreign coun-
tries. At that time he won his case.
United states Far Behind Europe.
In speaking of foreign legislation
on this subject Mr.. Brandeis had the
following to say:
The leading countries in Europe,
in which women are largely employed
In factory or similar work, have
found it necessary to take action for
the protection Of the health and safe
ty and the public welfare, and have
enacted laws limiting the hours of la
Dor for adult women.
About two generations have eIaps-
ed since the enactment of the first
law. nj no country in which the legal
limitation upon the hours of labor for
adult women was introduced has the
law been repealed. Practically with
out exception every amendment of the
law has been in the line of strengthen
ing tn law or further reducing the
working time"
Among the European countries that
have especially up-to- date legislation
are France, Switzerland, Austria, Hol-
land and Italy

Berwyn, ten miles east of here, was
married to the daughter of a wealthy
farmer of that vicinity. Sorenson
won fame on. June is last by going
UP $500 feet In balloon and coming
down in an aeroplane of his own con-
struction. Instead of gliding gently to
the earth the aeroplane descended in
a series of somersaults and was de-
molisned, although the aviator was
not seriously hurt.
Sorenson has since that time been at
work trying to perfect his invention.
