STOCK MARKET
Continucd from Page ono.

New York, Feb. adjust how lit
tie is takes to start u slump In the
stock market was shown during the
first fifteen minutes of trading to-
day. The bear element which has
been in the majority for some time,
taking its text from the decision of
the Interstate Commerce commission,
refusing to permit the railroads to
increase rates, raided the London
market. Speculative stocks like Read
ing, st. Paul, Lehigh Valley and
the Hartman shares yielded, car
rying the entire list downward. The
result was an avalanche of selling
orders at the opening hour with loss
es in everything on the list ranging
from one to owed six points. The deal
ings were accomplished by intense
excitment but it was plain from the
attitude of the biggest brokers tina
the Generalization was not to be
permitted to last.
The railway equipment stocks and
the trunk line systems of course suf-
fered the most, as has been the case
in every furry for the past year,
Reading, an unduly inflated stock,
was off nearly seven points. This was
on sales of only ten thousand
shares and after the first few minutes
Reading recovered two points OF the
loss while recoverles OF from one TO
two points were evident in most of
the list. ,
The market experts admitted the
look was not dark despite the effort
Of the disappointed railroad magnates
to make the public think 1t was. 1t
was pointed out that the decision of
the Interstate Commerce commission
showed that every one OF the big
railway systems Is in an excellent
financial condition. Far from being
compelled TO reduce dividends or de-
fault on bond obligations, exnmlna-
tions OF the balance sheets of the
roads showed that lot only can pres
ent dividends be continued on pres
cnt earnings, but that some Of the
roads could actually increase divl-
dends on present earnings.
1t was generally accepted that after
| the first furry is over, which Will
| be I'm n day or so at the outside,
the railroads will go ahead with con
templated improvements and will find
way TO finance them. Wall street be
lieves that now the commission has
voted wholesale blanket increases the
various roads will select commodities
on which the rate is admittedly low
and will ask for permission to make
increases. BY this means earnings will
| be Increased at least In part.
After the first hour the entire list
took strong tone and recoverles
were manifested IN every stock on
the list. The sentiment throughout the
room was then bulllsh and II was free
| ly predicted that the losses caused
by the throwing over OF stocks held
on margin account and by the beai
raid would be made up before the
week ends. At 1880 the recovery ex
ceeded a point in most stocks and in
several was nearer three points

American railway stocks slumpcd
dangerously on the stock exchange to-
day, the break ranging from two to
seven points. The heaviest losses
were in st. Paul, Union Pacific.
Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania, and
Reading. but every share on the list
was under pressure.
There was food of selling orders
cabled from the other side in antici-
patton OF a weak opening of the New
York stock exchange.
At 1870 the market was in a state
of high excitement and the trading
was feverish. The direct cause was
the construction placed upon the re-
luSdl Oh the iultIHAhlt 1oIlHltINt Noii-
mission to permit the American rail-
roads TO increase their freight rates.
1t was feared that not only would
dividends be reduced or disappear al
together but that even the interest
on bonds might be imperiled.

ing been pretty Thoroughly discussed
Judge Philpot entertained the motion
of G.. A. Board to appoint commit
tee to consist of as many as the
chairman saw fit to devise ways and
means to bring about the dirt road
along the lines approved by the Coun-
ty Judge and officials in charge OF
levies and highways generally. On
the suggestion OF Major Mccoy the
chairman took time to consider the
membership of the committee who
will be announced later as it was
desired to exercise great care in the
selection of men who would devote
their time to making a success of the
movement and render it an example
to other parts of the county.
Judge Philpot announced, in clos
ing, that he would warn OUT all of
the taxpayers in the townships along
the road to put in their four days re-
quired of them for road purposes at
the time fixed for this work and
have every man of the legal age on
the job and said that he felt that
many over and under that age would
respond generously. He will see that
the road forces now at work on this
side of the river reports at the time
and place and will also have the
other equipment of the county CEN
tered there The committee will also
act on the suggestion to request the
~ity of Pine Mluff to lend it's road

REST ROOM FOR LADIES

S. A, Rosenberg, proprietor of the
popular confectionery and stationery

tr0dpced an innovation to his store
which is new to Pine Bluff stores and
which will no doubt meet With the
approval of Pine Bluff ladies. The
new department in this store is a
handsomely furnished ladies' rest
room in the rear OF the building. Al
though the room devoted to this pur-
pose is small it is so perfectly ar
ranged and we'll fitted UP that it
serves its purpose we'll. TIE floor has
a covering and several chairs. a l3d-

done with his neighbors on the north
side of the river where a movement
road to Pine Bluff. He explained
that if they were able to devote as
much of their time to the project in
a section where land was of much
less value than on the south side of
the river, the same thing could be
done over there. The workings of
their plan was outlined and was
received with so much enthusiasm
that Senator Toney was several times
applauded. In conclusion he offered
the services of both his time and
whatever funds he could afford to the
building of the Wildcat road and said
that he hoped the best road in the
world would be built with all haste,
because the improvement of that
highway would enhance the value of
property there, benefi business con-
ditions in Pine Bluff and eventually
! reflect on his own property over on
the north side of the river. He fay-
ors anything that benefits any other
native of Jefferson County and
knows that whatever helps anyone
else will help him too.
Major Mccoy spoke of his friends
in the section of the county to be as
sisted in building their own road and
favor the cooperative plan of
building roads citing his observations
from other sources and quoted much
that he had read on the subject. Mr..
Boyce endorsed the plan for building
the dirt road this fall in time to han
die the crops of this year and the for
nation of the improvement district at
earliest possible date in order to build

spoke from much experience in civil
engineering and study of road bull
ding extending over number of
years of work along that very line.
He gave advice on how roads should
be built and said that the three most
important things in road building
werC: Drainage, more drainage and
then some more drainage" His offer
of his professional services without

as should be required to help build
this road met with applause of the
meeting.
