LAKE TRAFFIC FOR 1910

WASHINGTON, Feb. A.-Commerce
on the Great Lakes during 1910 as In

merce and Labor showed a satisfactory
development.

605 shipped during 1909 n SO, SOC, 9s1

This gain was due in part to the par

that field necessitating abnormally

MOVEMENT IN
STOCK MARKET CONTINUES.
Developments of the Week Show
General Upward Tendency.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Developments
of the week In the stock market were
largely of a favorable nature, and last
weeks upward movement continued
steadily, despite an irregular tone, with
no serious interruption until Friday.
Although prices improved sufficiently
to invite realizing on q wide scale, the
market absorbed offerings easily during
most of the week, and efforts to check
the rise were ineffective.
Announcement of the Hartman prof.
ects for extensive embarrassing, in
volving the expenditure of more than
SIS. 900, 900. and the quarterly report Of
the United States Steel Corporation
were two weeks developments which
attracted widest interest. The Harri-
mar announcement was construed as a
significant demonstration of faith in
present and future conditions, and did
more, perhaps, than anything else 10
shape the course of the market. The
Unexpectedly low earnings of the Steel
Corporation went u~nheeded. in view (
Chairman Gary's statement that a
marked TURF for the better had come.
Business was of larger volume than
for some weeks previous, although the
public share remained too small to con-
stitute a market influence. Conditions
in the money market showed little
change, other than a tendency toward
stiffening of rates.

purchaser. who is said to be the Con-
sentative Realty and Investment Com

AS the parcel is contiguous to the

NINETY SECONDS
TO CHANGE MOTIVE
POWER OF TRAM
Pennsy Is Becoming a Lightning
Change Artist at Manhat-
tan Transfer Station.

Records kept by the Pennsylvania
sumed in changing from electric to
steam motive power, and vice versa,
at Manhattan transfer station, near
Harrison, N. j., show that 9S per cent.
of the trains now go through the trans
fer in the time allotted for the change
of power.
From 106 to 100 trains pass through
the transfer on weekdays. Nowhere
else is a rapid change from steam to
electric engines made on so large a
volume of traffic. The time allowed for
u~nc6upling, switching and coupling is
four minutes. Owing to the difficulty
of detaching the steam lose from the
engine during cold weather, 1t has not
been thought advisable to make a
shorter time allowance during tho win
ter months, but with the warm weather
Ii may be cut down.
Thus far the record for the change is
one minute and thirty seconds.
1OS Trains on First Day.
Taking the trains passing through the
transfer during the last week In which
detailed charts were made, los went
through the first day, of which 80, or
80 per cent, made the change in four
minutes or less. On the second day
there were 109 trains, with 101, or 80
per cent, making the scheduled change.
One hundred and six vent through the
third dav with a Derfect record. Ninety-
eight per cent. was scored on the fourth
day, Sunday. when Sc out of IS made
the schedule OF four minutes. On the
next day 105 out of 106 made a score
80 per cent. perfect.
