fAssociated Press1

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The stock
market remains largely in professional
hands and the recession in prices to-
day may be ascribed to the disappoint-
ment of the professional element over
attempts to advance prices earlier in
the week. There were several items in
the days news that were regarded as
prompting to caution in adopting as
sumption as to the future.
The threat of a general strike in Phil
adelphia, in sympathy with the street
car mems strike, cauSed anxiety, not
only for the direct effect, but for pos
sibly in1ammatory influence on the sem
timent with which other negotiations
of labor disputes may be conducted.
The statement of eastern railroad
managers giving reasons for refusal
to grant demands for increase of
wages directed attention to the general
subject and the widespread field of
such pending disputes.
The large number of reports of dam
age to the winter wheat in the south
west from the severe weather had a
dampening influence on speculative
temper and proved the growing in
fluence of the crop situation on the
securities market.
Announcement was made of one or
two important bond offerings, and a
canvass of the number of projected
issues gave the impression that new
financing must play an important part
in the money market for some time to
come. The persistent strength in the
foreign exchange market was an in
dication that further exports of gold
might be feature of next week s
markets.
The heavy volume of merchandise
imports at the port of New York and
the coming maturity of corporation
note issues, of which large portions
are held abroad. explain this move
ment.
The establishment of higher prices
for Ann Arbor issues was accompanied
by reports of the acquisition of that
system in the interests of the Edwin
Hawley group.

Charles Walsh when he informed po-

would not stand for such annoyance,
and wanted to know ii the department
would permit him to- send nice little

liceman put it.
The department heads are in a
quandary as to what action to take. in

has bitten anyone but the policeman
and has never shown any viciousness

dog simply delights in taking pieces

White Plague Death Rate is
on Decline, The Report Shows

from this cause and the crude cancer
rate, although the actual incidence OF
the disease at the various periods of
life may not have been altered ma
terially.
The distribution of cancer accord
ing to location on the body shows lit
tie change except diminution of the
residual group due to more accurate
statements of physicians. All certi-
hcates of death by cancer should
state whenever ascertainable, the site
of origin Of the disease.
Deaths from Tuberculosis Decrease.
The uniform tendency to increase
in the number Of deaths reported from
cancer is shown in the totals reported
for the registration states and cities
for 1908 and 1909. All the II states
for which data are given for the two
years showed more deaths from this
cause in the latter year, except Mary.
land and South Dakota for which
slightly diminished numbers were re-
turned. OF the SO large cities only
showed more deaths from cancer in
1908 than in 1909, and the amounts
of decrease were very small in each
case. The numerical increase in the
deaths registered from cancer was not
large for any particular state or city.
but the most impressive feature is the
widespread increase shared by all
states and cities with but few excep-
tions.
The total number Of deaths caused
by typhoid fever in the registration
area for the year 1909 was 1922,
reduction Of 653 from the number.
1875, recorded for the somewhat
smaller registration area of 1908. The
death rate fell from 1853 to % per
100, 900 estimated population.
