BUSINESS Is IMPROVING.
Figures for Several Lines Shown by
Rureau of Statistics

Marked improvement in business condi-
tions in the United States at the close
Of the calendar year 1905 as compared
with the latter part of the previous year.
and in many cases return to normal
conditions are shown by special COM
pilations made by the bureau of statistics
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor.
Taking the value of the building per-
mits issued in sixty-three leading cities
of the country. the report shows that,
while each of the first eight months of
1908 was behind the corresponding
months of the previous year, each of the
last four months showed an improvement.
which was especially marked in November
and December.
The number of cars handled by asso-
Citations, covering practically the entire
country, was larger in December, 1903,
than in the same month of 1907. This is
taken as an assumption that general
business conditions are improving and
that the quantity of merchandise being
bought and sold and transported is in
creasing.
Similar improvement is shown in other
lines of business.

The hen got on the nerves of Mrs

founded to find twelve eggs in the hens

gate, gasping, stared at the hen; the hen,
with suspicion of a smile on her face
looked at Mrs. Applegate as if saying

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

In the sense of the presence of a pur-
chasing power and at current rates there
was absolutely no market at the meeting
Of the stock exchange today. This was
due mainly. it was thought. to the SYM
pathetic feeling with the New York mar
ket. which has not yet recovered from
the announcement made in the cut Of steel
prices by the United States Steel Com
pany. The depressing influence upon the
steel and allied securities was given a
wider range later in the day by the ru-
mors of a decision In the commodity
clause case In court, which was thought
to have an unfavorable bearing.
At any rate, whatever the causes, the
effects were unmistakable when the bro
kers came together for the daily meeting.
With the exception of gas certificates.
which developed more strength than they
have exhibited for some time. the ten
dency in regard to practically everything
on the list was to let it alone. 1t must
also be said there was not a great deal
of evidence Of much stock for sale, but
such as came on the market found that
bidders were extremely shy and kept out
Of range.
The explanation in part of the sale of
gas certificates might be found in the
fact that there was buyer who appar-
emily had an unlimited demand. or what
might be looked upon In the present
state of the market as about the same
thing, namely, a large order.
This broker gathered in at the start
thousanddollar bond and a five-hundred-
dollar bond at 11S. and then he took more
than twice that amount at 40, and still
was willing to give that figure for $4,000
or for any part thereof The bid closed
at that figure. but there was no further
offering of the bonds at any price.
After this security was passed buyers at
current prices did not materialize. One Of
the brokers had fifty shares of the pre-
ferred stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company for sale, and the
best he could do was to take 50 for It,,
although the last selling price was 9O1a.
In the case of gas stock; late values
crumbled rapidly away so that before the
close the stock was offered as low as 75ls
without result, although the asking price
Saturday was 77% and the bid 1874. The
closing figures today were 7fs4 and 76i4
asked.
Mergenthaler sold at pa, drop of from
to 6 points as compared with the figures
of a few days ago. There was no further
demand for it, even at that level. and be-
fore the close 1t was offered at 213a4. with
211E as the bid. the latter Illustrating the
prevailing caution of keeping away as far
as possible from the chance OF buying
anything.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, February 23.-ConditionS bor-
dering on panic prevailed today in the
wheat pit during the first few minutes
of the session, and prices fuctuated nerv
ously over a wide range. incidentally
touching a new high record mark for
the season for the May delivery. On
initial transactions the May delivery sold
at 11611, which is Nc above the former
top mark recorded in the previous ses-
sion. An advance of " to I'd in the
price of wheat at Liverpool inspired active
buying here at the opening, which caused
advances of HAS to 1a1c. First sales
on May were at 1864 to 116k. Several
leading commission houses were free sell
ers on the bulge, and this caused a quick
decline, May dropping to 115k.
Support by the leading bull, however,
caused a recovery to 116, and for time
the market held comparativelyly steady,
with May selling around that figure.
At the start corn prices were a shade
to Aasc higher, May opening at 655s to
65A Later the price dropped to 65la.
May oats opened Is to l4c higher at 547s
to 55c. and sold off to 54s.
Provisions opened unchanged to 5a71ac
higher.
Later in the day the wheat market made
another squirt upward, May advancing to
1.167a. During the final half hour a
heavy tone again developed on further
profit taking. The close was about steady,
with May shade higher, at 1.15A.
Tie corn market rallied later in the SEES
sion, May advancing to 665s. but weak
ened again on selling brought out by an
estimate of more than 1000 cars as the
receipts here tomorrow. May declined to
651s. The close was weak, with May off
