RETRENCHMENT THE ] CAUSE OF SELLING Rate Decisions Have Not.
 Impaired Credit
 OPINIONS REVISED
Selling Due to Announcements By Railroads of Coming Retrech- ments-Expect Trust Case
 Verdict Monday

New York February 25.-The brief session of the stock market today of- Tered but a brief reminder of the previ- ous days stress and excitement. Prices moved irregularly at the outset. but later the market moved up. chiefly in the special class, the fertilizer stocks being especially prominent. In the final dealings, however a selling movement in the active group brought declines of . point in Southern Pacific, Louisville and Nashville and New York Central, with lesser losses elsewhere.
 It is not improbable that the selling was result of announcements made by . number of railroads, including St. Paul, Pennsylvania and Boston and Maine, of coming retrenchments be- cause of the recent freight rate de- cisions.. Another impelling cause may have been the unwillingness of traders to carry stocks over Sunday in view of the possibility of verdict in the much discussed trust cases by the Uni ted States supreme court on Monday
 So far as the rate decisions go, 1t is apparent that the opinions of certain railway officials have undergone some modification upon further digestion.
 It is equally evident that American credit abroad has been in no wise im- paired by this event, as is shown in the overnight announcement of the sale of a large block of Central Pacific bonds in Paris.
 The fortnight report of the Ameri can Railway association shows another large increase in idle equipment. The surplus of cars is now almost three times as great as in the corresponding period last year, but this is attributed to less reduced traffic than to freedom from congestion.
 There were no special features to the weekly bank statement other than the usual disparity between average and actual conditions. The actual statement shows loan increase or $',- S50,OOO, while the average table reports a decrease of s4,650,000. The actual cash gain is about $4,700,O00, which IS A. close approach to the forecasts The substantial increase in reserves adds to the strength of the statement which as a whole offers further evidence or the monetary ease at this center.
 The bond market was irregular. Iotas sales par value $1,580,000. Govern ment bonds unchanged.

Hunting With Ferrets

From the NeWburg NeWs.
 Rabbits and cartridges have been more plentiful this year in this section than in many years. Every day hunters can be seen returning to the city with their hunting coats anI bags fairly loaded down.
 The rabbits around the country have become so plentiful in the last few years that the farmers asked to have the laws taken off ferrets in order that they could be partially exterminated, as they were doing considerable damage to their peach and pear trees. The change in the law was made and ferrets can, now be used for hunting purposes. There is such, a. demand for ferrets for hunting purposes that their retail price has increased over half and dealers are reaping harvest, males selling for 8 and females for sS5O

Wars Are Unnecessary
From Leslie's.

We are mislead by the fiction of the necessity of being prepared for war. Must the state be like the citizen-- always in fear of the robber? Must the citizen sleep with arms under his pillow and walk with an arsenal in his pockets? The law properly forbids him to carry arms. A general agreement of all the nations to maintain peace will prohibit them from increasing their armaments. There must ge a be- ginning somewhere, and we welcome the report that all the religious de- nominations in the world are getting ready to make 1t by uniting in q de- mand for the worlds peace.
