COMMERCE
WALL STREET.

New York. Jan. San attempt was
made to start the New Year with an
advance in prices of stocks as a dem
onstration of cheerful confidence IL
the opening prospect. Immediately,
however, the higher price encountered
selling orders sufficient to turn them
downward. fhe rate for call loans
had risen early in the day higher thar
was touched in the whole Of last year,
and in fact, the year before. which
ran into the a~iter-panic depression
following the disappearance of the
none stringency In January OF 1908
The highest call loan rate in that
month was 9 per cent compared with
today's IA per cent.
The bank statement published after
the close of the stock market on Fri
day made clear the reason for the
construction of supplies in today
money market. The surplus reserve
WAS depleted to a slender remnant,
while the huge money settlements are
stlll to be provided for. In large part,
Reduction of loans by the clearing
house institutions was thus made i'm
perative.
The great private banking house
most largely concerned with the finan-
cial operations OF the principal rail-
road and industrial corporations OF
the country have given such evidence
OF abundant rash in the re.
cent past as to imply ample AFFINITY 10
relieve 4 furry in the money market
Absence of such relief today prompted
an inference that higher rates Tor
their money was more desired by
these powerful sources than higher
prices for stocks.
AS the same forces have been cred
tied with fostering the long speculative
movement in the past year there was
q %corrollary inference that extensive
Uouidation Of their stock holdings had
been already effected.
In other directions the speculation
saw encouragement. Railroad presi-
dents were in consultation with Presi-
dent Taft to voice their opposition 70
his proposed recommendations for ek-
tending the power of the interstate
m commission over the fali-
roads.
An effect was produced by reports
of differences between the unfted
states Steel on the whole list Was con-
sidera Bile. The large III the
annual summing up of conditions by
the great authorities in economics to
inc high cost Of living gave added
force to the wage question.
The special weakness Of United
states Steel, Reading and Union Pa
,ific contrasted with the resistance
shown By Rock Island, Chesapeake a
ohio and Amalgamated copper point
"a to a divergence OF sentiment in the
snacultive forces but the forces of re-
action nroved predominant and the
weakness became quite acute win ihs

Women's Looks in Business.

An attractive, slender figure, a
bright, healthy appearance, an alert
bearing and graceful ease of move
ment-these are beauties and person
al advantages which women in bust
ness do we'll to cultivate and preserve.
They are often a passport to success
when applying for a situation, while
the young woman with a clumsy fig
ure, sallow complexion, and slow
movements has much smaller
chance. There is also the question of
health. Stout persons, as rule, are
more inclined to the common ailments
of everyday life than those who are
slim and ION the move;" and obesity
a disease in itself, brings others in
Its train. Plumpness is often very
charming. 1t is when the plumpness
turns into real, undoubted fairness that
there is cause for alarm. Neglected
fairness will soon mean chronic ODE.

PIGEONS FIGURE IN HISTORY
Down Through All the Ages They
Have Been Made the Ser
wants Of Men.

, Doubtless you admire the pretty,
graceful creatures that perch upon the
caves of your house, or daintily trip
across your yard, but did you ever
think what factor they have been in
the history of the world?
/, Pigeons, as commonplace as they
appear, are characters of antiquity,
the Household says. We hear of them
when the waters of the deluge covered
the face of the earth. when the faith
full dove flew from the hand of Noah
and returned to her master, bearing
the significant olive branch. Dove Is
the Anglo-Saxon name; pigeon, the
Norman name
During the fifth Egyptian dynasty,
5000 years before Christ, it was the
fashion to domesticate pigeons, and to
train them as carriers and messen-
gers. The promptness with which
Caesar was informed of the rebellfons
in Gaul, and thereby enabled to cross
the Alps before those uprisings could
possess the entire province, was due
to the use of carrier pigeons. In the
crusades these birds were skillful and
faithful messengers.
The price of handsome pair of
pigeons in ancient Rome was not a
trifle, for Axius, Roman knight, once
sold pair Of pigeons for 40 denarii-
about G13 in English money, and
about $65 in our currency. At that
time, too, they were by far the swift
est conveyers of news and were much
in demand at the celebration of the
Olympic games.
! Among the many pathetic incidents
connected with the Imprisonment of
Mary Queen of Scots, she begs earn
estly for pigeon, and writes in let
ter: Il beg you to procure for me some
pigeons. l wish to rear them in
cages; it will be such pastime for a
prisoner
