Washington.

PRICES OF STOCKS
 WEAK AT TIE CLOSE.
Trading Is Limited to a Few
 Leading Issues
STEEL STOCKS STEADY
Prices of Finished Products In Iron und Steel Are Very Low-Inquiry for Time Loans Is Better .H
 Than Usual

New York. January 1o-Busness fell off to a marked degree in stocks and bonds. while prices reflected no great weakness until the final, hour, the under tone was uncertain all day. A rise of points in Canadian Pacific followed yes- terday's late announcement of pro- posed increase in the dividend to 10 per cent and stimulated some demand for affiliated issues.
 In the late trading heavy selling for certain industrials produced all around weakness and the market closed heavy with small losses.
 Heaviness was most pronounced in Gen. tral Leather and American Hide and Leather and the decline in these issues was attributed to the reported closing of a number of western tanneries be- cause of unfavorable trade conditions. American Cotton Oil and Corn Products were affected and yielded under slight pressure.
 United States Steel was fairly steady and the company's report of thrilled ton mage showing a decrease of S5,60O tons was, in line with general expectations, marked a new low record in the history os the corporation and demonstrates anew the satisfactory state of that industry.
 According to trade authorities prices of many finished products in steel and iron are now the lowest in 13 years, which minimizes the prospects of any further concession at the meeting of these interests here tomorrow. A conserve tive estimate of the extent of operations by the leading mills at this time is about l5 per cent of capacity.
 Copper shares inclined to heaviness here and abroad and In London futures in the metal declined over Il shillings. The street continued to ignore the freight hearings at Washington despite intimations from the interstate commerce commission that further delay in making new rates effective is likely. The call of the comptroller of the currency for statement of condition of national banks as of last Saturday came a lit- tie sooner than usual, but will probably find those institutions stronger than at this time last year The state comptrol- Ter also issued a call for condition of state banks as of Monday last.
 IHe oiiiy cHdHso III iocai ihoholdiy coH- dtions was a better inquiry for time loans without effect on rates.
 Additional details concerning the issue Of $60000,000 new city bonds were ob- tainable today but 1t appears to be ac- cepted as a fact that the issue will bear interest at the rate of AZ per cent, which is the figure the city authorities hoped for.
 The bond market was irregular with de- clines in most city issues. Total sales, ,y.7r value. s33,a460e0.
 United States government bonds un- changed on call.

in thirty years and had 10 fry more. In such hurry to put on her other dress" and over to Mrs Pratts to tell her My boy Is coming home"
 The boy came home When he took mother in his arms and held her for full minute. she couldn't speak. All choked up. So glad to him. she couldn't say word. And. when she did speak the first thing she said she looked up into his brown eyes, "Oh. my boy how pale you are,"
 He pale. He knew it. Subway air makes no red bloodcorpusces Kills some of the red ones that exist Nor does the electric light of the sub way brown the cheek the sunlight browns the cheek of the farmer. All the year that he had been away mother had carried Tn her mind the pic ture of her farmer boy Never had dreamed that her farmer boy would come home with a grayish- white face, Didn't need to say she shocked Looked l.. The boy caught the message and laugh ingly replied
 Oh mother all city folks are pale"
 During the week that he remained at home the boy kept talking Father and mother con stantly asking questions. Seemed to mother as if she couldn't ask questions enough Wanted to get frst-hand information about everything of which she had read.
 Six months after he returned to work his mother had opportunity to see for herself. just how big New York. telegram told her that her boy had been hurt. She and father found him in hos pital with his head bandaged until they could bare ly see his eyes. At the end of his run. he had tried the tracks to catch another train back and get to dinner more quickly. Didn't see train running In the opposite direction. Car struck him ficked up TOT dead. seemed to have a fractured skull. Fortunately. did not Revived R the hos pital and would get we'll.
 Oh. but the mothers heart glad when she heard the best instead of the worst Glad until she and father went to the boys room. Not his room in the hospital. but his room in a lodging house Glad until she saw how miserably he had lived A dirty street A dirty house dirty hall A cheer less room. Little light, Bad air. skimpy bed. A frayed counterpane Not decoration save her own picture stuck in the edge of mirror
 Her boy could afford no better place to live His pay only s225 day. That s his pay from the company was only s225 a day. The lure of New York made up the rest that was needed to in- duce him to stay
 Such Is life for millions in New York. Not life as the newspaper dispatches describe it. Not life as the stage pictures 1t. Life as 1t s
 few draw colossal prizes few more draw good prizes. But If only those should come to New York who can earn better living here than they can elsewhere, a handcar. running day. would almost bring them in. Ninety-two per cent of the population have not drawn enough prizes to enable them to own their own homes. Yet people come. Come from every state in the Union. Come from every town in every state-eyery hamlet Come from Italy. Norway. Sweden. Turkey-coms from everywhere.

meal ticket at every restaurant. left my chum right there paid my fare as far as could and beat it the rest of the way"
 The court. some years back. having broken into town in substantially the way did hear the boys story without feeling. During the re cital the judicial mind had gone back to that other day. now long gone. when he. a penniess lad had said good-by to his native town. So he said to the boy:
 My son. let me commend your judgment Any boy who will ride the trucks to New York in preference to going to Chicago and living with his chum's aunt has the right spirit. I think this town needs boys like you and am going to let you stay. Discharged"
 Nothing illustrate better than this incident the lure of New York. Perhaps other city ever had so large percentage Of the worlds popula ton blufed. A bigger word than ''bured" is needed here. but 1t does not come. The point Is that the city has the power to cast great spell and casts 1t. She makes TO comparisons. To make comparisons would be to admit that there are others in her class. She says only: T the wonderful city-come"
 The call goes north to the edge of the frozen world; east to the point where the east is west: south far a white man lives and west till the west Is east. Not everybody comes. but every body hears. Millions would like to come but can't Everybody would like at least to see the siren city. And. untold thousands do come One railroad thinks nothing of dumping 100000 stran- gers into New York In day
 The reason for much coming is plain. Ev- erybody likes to be mixed up with success.
