NEW YORK, April S.-Loud cries of
hard times are going up from Wall
street. Business has not been so dull
in wears as it is now. The outside
public will not speculate and Wall
street without lambs is poor place
for pickings so far as the professionals
are concerned
There have been many periods of
dullness in the financial district but
none so protracted as the one that is
now agonizing members of the stock
exchange and their forces. On only one
day in the last six weeks have the
transactions been above 100000 shares,
and the average during tins period is
not much over 100000 shares daily.
This business has to be divided among
1900 members and several hundred diff
ferent firms whose running expenses
range from $4,000 10 $350,000 per an
mum. Some Of these firms employ in
their New York Offices alone rs to 100
clerks
il has frequently been the experience
of dozens of houses that they have not

D. Rockefeller Preserves His
Store Of Wealth.
MARVEL OF CONSTRUCTIONS
Repository Estimated to Contain
Stocks and Bonds Worth Two
Hundred Million Dollars.

BY Leased Wire TO me tribune.
NEW YORK, April S.-The long and
closely guarded secret as TO where John
d. Rockefeller preserved his stacks OF
stocks and bonds has been disclosed at
of collateral estimated at 500, 100000,
reposes IN specially constructed bomb,
burglar and fire proof vault, built under
the northeast corner of the New York
Produce Exchange. Entrance to 1t Is
gained from Beaver street, stone s
throw from the Standard Oil headquar-
tiers at 26 Broadway,
Between the street outside and the
repositories of the Rockefeller securi-
ties are ten locks variedin character
In front OF the iron vault, :he largest
of its kind in the world devoted to con-
tanning tho property of Il single person,
is presented to view a cage not at all
unlike the one in which the famous
Captain Dreyfus was confined at Devil S
Island.
Two Of the locks are padlocks; one
on each of the two combination locks
visible from the exterior of the closed
doors Of the vault, These two padlocks
are usually opened with a key in the
hand Of President William II. Pearson
of the Safe Deposit company, which IN
turning releases the dial of each OF
the combination locks and permits the
latter to be set by two men from Mr.,
Rockefcller's private Office.
Each Has Different Combination.
One of the two is Mr. Rockefeller IS
financial secretary while the other IS
man he trusts equally well. Each
has Il different combination to unlock.
There are six numbers on each lock, The
numbers run from i to 100.
The only way to change the numbers
is to know the old numbers. As for
ton, he has not the slightest knowledge
of the numbers opening the lower com
biuatiou lock, and neither of the two
can set his part of the bolts in the
great iron door until after tho padloc ks
have been removed by The third man.
IT is impossible for anybody to pick
these combination locks. The door OF
the vault is moved by hand and 1t
opens easily owing to lis swinging upon
a compound double goose-crane hinge
which is carefully balanced on roller
hearings. made OF the finest hard encd
steel. This permits the door TO swing
lightly. although it has the weight OF
nine tons. The inner of the vault is
nine feet wide, nire feet high aud Gf-
| teen feet deep,

| of forty inches In the center OF thirty

THE SELECTION OF
 GOOD DAIRY COWS

In an address before the Vermont Dairy association Professor Cook of New York said that after an experi- ence of a lifetime he believed the only sure way te tell good COW is to bring out the scales and Babcock test. One COW that came pretty near being eligi- ble for the booby prize had to her credit 800 pounds of butter for the year. Professor Cook mentioned this to show how impossible it is to judge COW entirely on her looks. As man looks the dairy COW in the face she should show good head and fine eye, not too prominent The lips should be strong and the nostrils large. with good openings. Strong lips in dieate good digestion. and good nos trils indicate lung power The COW should be wide between the front legs and have a good length of body.
 Continuing. Professor Cook said.
 My experience k that a good dairy COW has good, heavy shou. dars. not beefy, for. in fact. there should not be n bit of fat on dairy COW.
 The ribs should be far apart. The mammary veins do not always indi cate what the COW will produce but they come pretty close. Milk veins should be prominent and many of them. This indicates good blood circulation. Contrary to the impress sion of many. there is no milk in the milk veins. They are filled with blood returning from the udder to the heart l always like large milk wells or open ings. l like t0 see milk veins on the udder
