Bears in Control of Situation At Short Session
PRICES DROP ONE TO TWO POINTS,
AND MARKET SHOWS WEAK
CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The short ses-
sion of the Stock Exchange today was
productive of nothing but a drop in
prices of one to two points. Loss in
the currency movement to Europe OF
$5,OO0,0 900 for the week and what was in
terpreted as an unfavorable bank state
ment were chiefly responsible for the
dip in stocks.
The market was dull and moved slow
ly, Louisville and Nashville, one of the
most active issues of yesterday, was
quiescent today. Northern Pacific
opened at III and Stacked off a point
and an eighth. Union Pacific had

similar decline. Steel was notably
weak, though the price losses were only
five-eights of a point.
1t was stated that the strength and
buying of Western Union Is due to abb
sorption of the stock by persons close
to the American Telephone Company,
and II has been intimated that favor
able developments will take place In
the next week or SO.
Although the untitled tonnage of the
Steel Corporation shows substantial
increase today, talk of a REDUCTION In
the price of finished product Will more
than Offset the larger output
At the close the market was steady
with prices slightly above the lowest
for the day.

New York, Jan. 12.-When
the laundry workers had been on
strike for week, marked effects
of their inertia were visible.
For one thing, the town was
full of well-dressed gentlemen
wearing heavy winter clothing,
soft summer shirts and soft col
lars. Hitherto the negligee shirt
and collar with winter clothes
had been a combination affected
only in the theatrical district,
where bizarre effects are popular.
But when the stiff collars and
shirts failed to come back on
time, many business man dug
down for his summer stuff and
put it on rather than buy new
linen to replace that tied up in
the laundry.
But there are many men who
don't wear any collars except stiff
ones the year around, and haven't
