ThomastOn was it's birthplace. The
50th year of the regiment commences
Sept. 8. 1910. Co. 3 of the regiment
was enlisted largely from Knox coun-
ty. Two of the regimental command
ers were Thomaston men. BY General
Order of War Department, No. 10
1S65) the regiment is entitled to enroll
on its flag the name of three more bat
ties than any other of 4047 regiments
in the War of the Rebellion, and its
losses of killed and MORALLY wounded
We're 10 more men and one more officer
than any other cavalry regiment in the
entire Union Army. All of these events
which occurred more than a genera
ton ago, should prompt the citizens of
Thomaston and Rockland to welcome
the surviving veterans in an appropri-
ate manner. The president OF the
association is Elbridge Burton of
Thomaston, whose 39th birthday was

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Feb. 15.-The stock market
gave additional evidence today of sinking
INTO dulnesS and apathy. The profession
al element strains all its resources to
keep up the movement of prices, but the
withdrawal of outside participation in the
dealings adds to the difficulty of the at
tempt. The situation is summed llp in the
fact that urgent liquidation has ceased to
press upon the market while no DISPOSE
ton makes itself manifest to accumulate
stocks with sufficient determination to
carry prices upwards and hold them
there.
The desire to see the definition of the
scope of the Sherman antitrust law
which shall emanate from the supreme
court decision in the American Tobacco
and Standard Oil cases is the accepted
motive for refrainng from large commit
ments in the market on the part of cap
itaists of the class which makes the
great speculative movements.
Besides that influence there is a normal
subsistence to a resting point in the mar
ket after the wider fluctuations of the
active speculation which followed the i'm
portant liquidation movement since the
hrst of the present year From the low
prices of Monday of last week, marking
the elimination of that liquidation the
rebound has been substantial, reaching to
over II points in Reading, which led the
recovery. Efforts to extend the recovery
centered on that stock today. The profess
sional operators who were conducting the
movement found insufficient demand to
absorb profit taking sales and took warn
ing from this fact. of the limitation of
that market. Finding themselves almost
alone in the buying of stocks they desst-
ed and allowed the dealings to lapse into
condition of semi-stagnation.
Foreign influences Were not definitely in
favor of advancing prices. The assem-
bling of the new British Parliament
brings into play the influence of the new
political program to be formulated. A
rise in the private discount rate in Ber-
lin and the prospect of heavy loan issues
in Paris in the reha Utilization of flood dam
age had some reflected influence here
from foreign markets. More attention
was paid to these on account of the hope
that is growing up of an improved de-
mand for American corporation bonds on
the part of foreigners. Spectators were
disappointed that the Canadian Pacific
dividend was not raised and there was a
sharp break in that stock in London.
The diminishing force of the current of
the price movement was seen in the hes
itating uncertainty of the narrowing fluc-
tuationS.
Bonds were steady Total sales mar
value, $2.510000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
