SCARE OVER BIG FINANCIERs WIG
WENT TO AID OF MARKET
WITHDRAWN.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.--There was
no trace of nervousness at the open
ing of the stock market to-day
changes generally being In the shape
OF small fractional losses. southern
Railway, Southern Pacific and Read
ing lost about 5-S. Steel common as,
while the preferred rose SIS. Mis-
souri, Pacific opened up liz, but lost
the gain. At the end of fifteen min
utes the tone was steady.
There was rush on the part of the
big financiers, who on yesterday came
to the rescue of the market TO get
their money out now that all danger
of serious slump on the stock ex.
change had vanished. The result was
shares. including New York Central,
ed nearly q point from yesterdays
close. The market throughout the
two hour session to-day was narrow
and ultra professional. and the deal
ings very small.
Market leaders said that Il was un-
likely there would be any pronounced
change in conditions in tho market
for some time to come.
The real cause Of worry now Is not
the railroad rate situation. which is
regarded as closed incident, but the
possibility of an extra session of Con-
gress. with possible disturbance of
business circles by another revision OF
the tariff.
Stocks closed generally heavy.

Yes. sir, l am going to stand by the

Yes, Mr. President. l always want

Mr.. Blake said something about
running for the United States senate
and that prompted Mr. Umlauf t. re-
mark that possibly he would need
lights more than ever, In that event.
Again MIR. Blake came to the front
when Mr.. Clarence A. Seaton. from

Mr.. Umlauf had said about over
crowded conditions at the Sidney

but that fact made him raise his
