HEALTH BOARD FINDS
INSPECTION PLANS FAIL
Tour of Hospitals When Pub
Iicly HeraIded Reveals Little

The members of the board of health
believe that tours of inspection. when
publicly heralded, are useless. ~ week
ago yesterday they inspected the vari-
Gus emergency hospitals and other
branches of the board of health and
wound up in the vicinity of the park
emergency hospital. Reports had been
received by Health officer Broderick
that the ambulance from the park hos
pital was unusually slow in responding
to calls.
The members of the board decided
to test the park officials and telephoned
to the hospital of an imaginary car
accident at Ninth avenue and III street.
Then they hurried to the spot TO see
what would happen.
To their great surprise they found
the ambulance waiting for them.

INDEPENDENTS cur EACH OTHER
Stock Sentiment Shifts

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-The light and
shifting currents of the speculative
sentiment in the stock market veered
decidedly in the direction of discOur-
aigement in the course of last week and
carried values downward. The decid
ing factor was the evidence of Ian
gushing trade as exemplihed. espe-
ciauy in the iron and steel trade. The
halt in the revival OF trade had been
perceived for several weeks past.
IT was asserted that the waiting on
the formulation OF new tariff schedules
was the motive for the withholding Of
orders Insistent reports that a cut in
prices Of steel was in contemplation
were as persistently denied, the latest
denials coming from accredited official
sources until past the middle OF the
week. The reassuring effect on specu-
lative sentiment Of these assertions
was confirmed by the determined sup
port accorded the stocks Of the United
states steel corporation on the stock
market.
When the realization came TO the
stock market element on Thursday
-that the depressed conditions in the
trade were to be recognized by a price
reduction and an effort on the part Of
the leading producer to secure business
from competition the tone of the spec
ulation became semi-demoralized. The
slump in United States Steel itself was
the most conspicuous feature of the
new turn in affairs. IT was rather no.
table that the copper industrials were
comparatively stable. those stocks hav-
ing been declining for some time pre-
yiously in company with the successive
reductions going on in the price Of the
metal The clearing up Of the foreign
situation was Of important effect on all
financial markets. The definite prom
ise OF growing ease in foreign money
markets and the settlement Of interna-
ffonaI questions had put a stop to the
persistent liquidation OF foreign hold
.fngs OF American securities and had
given place to some buying in New
York on orders from abroad.

curiosity In the shape of a revolving
reading desk, but, apart from this, the
interior is not particularly interesting.

church wardens of the past been as
appreciative of art as of business. We

demolished to make room for a door

being sent TO London and cast into
