Stock Market

New York. February ..--Thc stock
market to-day had to digest the ran
ure OF Fisk & Robinson, announced
after the market closed yesterday
Manifestly there was great relish In
doing so. The primary declines, which
were within one point limits, brought
out prompt support, and recoNerles
followed Superhcially. this measured
the influence of the episode in tile
days barket. but the fresh break III
the last few minutes was clearly trace
able 10 the brooding uneasincss caused
by Ii.
The incident directed new attention
however. 10 the inert market for bonds
in general, Which has not been chec-
lively relieved Mt any stage of the
extensive speculative movement in
stocks. This condition makes a scri-
Gus flaw in tho financial situation. so
far as effective industrial trivial Is TO
be hoped.
One reason advanced by bond deal
ers for the sluggish demand for high
grade. well-securcd bond issues is the
preference of investors for Inferior
grades Offering higher return. The
high cost OF living is blamed for this
popularity in the situation. Thus far
the decline in the interest rate on
feet In tho bond market. The stock
market to-day was almost inert in
presence OF the doubts in the minds OF
speculators. sustaining effect was
caused for time by the buying of
Reading There was some further
pressure on the specialization Which
suffered most in yesterdays liTuda-
ton. The Copper group was hurt by
sharp decline in the price of Copper
in London. and unsatisfactory reports
of the general trade position of that
metal Foreign stock markets as well
as New York We're affected by this
factor.
The final break in prices came with
great suddenness. and In some cases
sensational violence. United States
steel. Southern Pacific. American
Smelling and some others sold lower
than in the period OF greatest weak

very feverish and weak.

Men and Women to Have Separate
Prayer Meetings.

at home" in church IL the women do
not worship with them, the Rev. Trigg
4. NJ. Thomas, pastor of the Eastmin-
ster Presbyterian church of Kansas
City, Mo-, has arranged to have the
men and women OF his congregation
meet In separate rooms at the weekly
prayer meetings.
II do not intend to separate my reg
ular Sunday congregations said the
Rev. Mr.. Thomas, because that serv-
Ice Is a meeting for the enlighten-
ment OF the people on the Bible By
the minister. But the Wednesday
evening prayer meeting is for heart
to heart talks on subjects OF religion
A man can sit beside his wife and
listen to a sermon, but when 1t comes
bis turn to talk In the prayer meeting
he Is silent. What want to do is to
get the men to talk on religion, and
think / have solved the problem In the
separation OF the men from the wo-
men,
