WALL STREET NEWS
Close of Market Indicates
Lower Prices To-day.
ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SELLING
In First Hour 100000 Shares of
Days Total Turnover OF 1,O37, 900
Change Hands-Decline in United
States Steel Common Less Than on
Monday-Reaetion in Copper.

New York, Feb. s.-To-day's stock mar
ket was substantially in the nature Of
drawn battle between whatever forces
there are. both Of a direct and indirect
sort, making on. the one hand. for fur
ther deposition IN values. and on the 9th
er for a recovery. Whether designedly OF
not. the market closed this afternoon IN
4 way to indicate that lower prices might
be seen tomorrow morning.
The final prices then made were nearly
al the lowest Of the day, and broad
selling movement was in progress. There
fore, to-day, partly as the result OF re-
newed liquidation, either by frightened
holders Of stocks OF those who were com
pened 70 sell on account OF exhausted
margins. and partly because Of the re-
newal OF a violent and determined bear
attack, prices generally opened at a low
ct level than those seen at any time on
the day before. These first prices proved
70 be, however, the days lowest in pref
" nearly all Instances.
Rise Bitterly Contested.
From then on during the first hour Of
business the market in the main display
ed an advancing tendency, although the
rise was bitterly contested, and it was
obvious that an enormous amount OF
selling OF stock was going on. In this
first hour $4,000 shares Of the days total
turnover Of 1,O37,000 shares were bought
and sold
If no brisk or decided rallying move
ment was obvious, II was yet clear that
a greater amount OF buying had been
stimulated, and by noon the prominent
stocks were from one to two points
higher than they were at the beginning
Of the stock exchange session. The mar
ket held this rise with much frmness
until the last half hour Of the day, when
another slump occurred, principally. as
seemed, because OF sharp reaction in
the Amalgamated Copper and American
Smelling and Refining, rather than any
resumption of general selling. and closed
feverish and unsettled.
Recovering Movement Less.
Developments were differently con-
strued In Wall street comment, the diff
ference being generally owing to the in
dividuaI market position Of the various
judges. Spectators hostile to the mar
ket declared the recovering movement in
stocks had been altogether less than it
should have been, considering the eX-
IRENE decentralization Of the day before,
and that it was mostly due to q retire
ment Of short contracts, which was
rather easily affected
Those committed TO the advance argued
prices were presenting determined re-
sistance 10 attack, and where such at
tacks were productive of an enormous
loss Of stock. In the case Of United
States Steel common, for instance, it was
pointed out that that stock made a net
' decline to-day Of but one-quarter Of
per cent, as compared with a decline
yesterday Of four and half points. al
though yesterdays sales Of the stock
were comparatively little IN excess OF
those of to-day.

The earning power or the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad is being studied with
more than ordinary interest in local fnan-
ciaI circles. owing 10 the close community
between that property and the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, which owns s306O0.O00.
or 81 per cent Of the former company's
capital stock Of s60.O00.O00
AS IS well known the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Is controlled by Henry Wal
ters. Michael Jenkins, and Waldo New
conner, of Baltimore, and their associates.
Many millions Of dollars Of local capital
are invested IN tho stocks and bonds Of
the road. and any distribution Of stock
of the Louisville and Nashville, as has
been frequently reported recently, would
very materially benefit the parent COM
pany.
The statement. therefore, that the Louis
vile and Nashville IN the first six months
OF its fiscal year earned approximately
10 per cent on its shares will be received
in no city with more satisfaction than In
this city.

LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

II appears from news given out In New
York that the project of combining the
Western Maryland Railroad. the Wheeling
and Lake Erie and the Wabash-Pitts-
burg Terminal railroads has been aban-
doned owing to the attitude OF the domi-
nant interests In the latter properties.
But II is still considered likely that the
three roads may be merged into single
system after the reorganization Of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie and the Wabash
Pittsburg Terminal.
Should such a deal be consummated II
will not in any way affect the traffic
alliance which has been entered into be
tween the Western Maryland and the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie. Benjamin +.
Bush. president Of the Western Maryland
Railroad, also is president OF the COM
pany operating the coal mines owned by
the Misunderstanding Terminal.
The fact that Blair & Co. Of New York
who managed tho syndicate which under
wrote the issue Of Western Maryland com
mon stock. are taking leading part in
the reorganization of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie and tho Wabash Pittshurg
Terminal strengthens the belief that the
plan 10 merge the three lines will even
tually be consummated

Free Remedy For ] : We Weak Bowels

There are two forms of bodily cleanliness, the external and the in- ternal. The one is for your pride in yourself; the other for your life and health. Both are important, but of vastly more importance in the long run is the internal cleanliness.

unlyer.lty Glee Club

The University of Alabama Glee Club will sing at the Jefferson theatre tomor- row night. The Glee Club has become an established institution at the university and counts as one of the most popular organization 1t boasts. It appeals to the very best elements in a college boys nature and therefore the finest sort of fellows apply for the Glee Club.
 The team is selected from a large num- Der of applicants, this year the number was larger than ever before, and 1t stands to reason that the men chosen must be capital fellows as well as good singers. The boys come from all over the state and are remarkably representative of the best the state affords. They are the kind Of boys that people are always glad to see and Birmingham will find pleasure in extending the club g. hearty welcome on this occasion. as 1t has in the past. There are many old university men in this city who will have the cookies of their hearts warmed considerably by sight of the boys from their alma mater and hearing them sing the jolly songs of col lege days. An excellent programme is as . sured for this year and this city is likely to show marked appreciation.
 The Gadsden Journal had this to say: sIt was select audience that braved the rigorous weather last evening, but they were amply repaid by a repertoire of artistically rendered musical numbers on the part of the University of Alabama Glee Club, that was most highly pleas ing, if the numerous encores are any Indication.
 with little material for a club to ytart with last fall, the musical director of the club has turned out an organiza- tion that is both credit to the institu- ton which it represents, as well as composite musical body that works well in harmonious choral numbers while the individual and quartet work was excep- tionally fine.
 Tn spite of house that was too de- ci6edly cold for comfort the boys held the rapt attention of an audience that was, in sympathy with their different numbers.
 The Beautiful Blue Danube Values by the club was very well rendered. in- deed The singers were in good voice. and put feeling in their words and notes that struck a responsive chord in fhe breasts of the auditors. s
 s'The college songs were rendered with an exuberance of spirit with which such songs should be given.
 .. The Grasshopper,' a descriptive bit of grand opera closed the performance. which was far beyond that usually att tempted by glee clubs. VI
 MT Tom Garner, the musical director, presided at the piano with his usual grace and cleverness of touch and his different interpretations of the numbers in which he accomplished the soloists showed him to be finished master of the instru- nient. sf.

loved friend of the coal miners

she told the representative of The
Times, you can count on your
fingers the men who have this
country in their absolute grasp.
They can precipitate a panic; they
can scare or starve us all into
submission, but they will not for
long, according to my notion.
For although they give lis

asserting a little independence,
we will not always be fooled.

MOTHER JONES SAYINGS

This country is as unjust
ly ruled by wealth as Portu-
gal was by its aristocratic des-
pots.
If the present conditions
are allowed to continue,
America will be far worse
off few years hence than
Portugal ever was.
If the present undercur-
rent of social unrest is not
stayed a terrible revolution
will sweep this country with
in five years. 1t is coming
faster than we even dare
suspect.
This country is on the
brink of just such a condition
that brought about the fall of
Rome. The children are re
fleeing the terrible slave
conditions under which they
are produced. Not one child
in 5000 is born optimistic.
They are defeated by their in
heritance before they start in
to live.
