DULLNESS NOTED
 ONSTOCK MARKET
Prices of Speculative Favor ties Did Not Advance
 Until Afternoon

New York, February 29.-Irregularity and Guilness were again the dominant features of the stock market today un- til well into the afternoon, when prices of the speculative favorites moved up- ward decisively under the lead of Amai- gamated Copper, which reached new high level for the present movement. Such changes as occurred, however, were largely technical, being doubtless based on the solid condition of the market, which induced further covering or snort contracts. In the early part or the ses- sion the movement was checked by con- 1icting adyiees from London respecting the coal strike situation. Up to the close of the market this momentous ques- ton remained unsettled in spite of the earnest efforts of the government. Pri- vate cables later were of a hopeful tenos raIthough the basis for this feeling re- mained obscure.
 Domestic news was of a varied char aeter, embracing the reply of the fed- eral government to the answer of the United States Steel corporation which the department of justice was quoted as regarding 'insufficient" renewal of ne- gotiations looking to a voluntary dlsso- lution of the International Harvester com pany, greater irmness in the copper market. conflicting reports as to the con- diton of the steel and iron trade. a mass of reports of railroad earnings for the first month of the year. Additional gold exports to South America were re- ported, as we'll as further drain upon the resources of local institutions which are likely to result in a heavy loss of cash at this center for the week.
 There were rumors of some more finan- chg for the coming month. some of which will probably take the form of the short term notes. The total output of new securities for February was about 900, which is somewhat in excess of the same month last year, but about s100 o00,000 under the total issues of the month immediately preceding Foreign markets. particularly Germany, are again negotiating for credits here, these being largely in the nature of extensions of loans already outstanding.

REGULATION BID
NOT AFFECT TITANIC

Interest in the rules governing the
inspection of vessels carrying pas
sengers has been revived by reason OF
the fate of the giant ocean liner Ii
tanic. whose wreck OFF the Newfound-
land banks caused the death of more
than 1900 persons.
The regulations in force in the
United States Bureau of Steamboat
Inspection require that every vessel
shall be inspected at least once in
each year. This inspection shall be
on the written request of the owner
or agent, which must be accompanied
with an affidavit setting for the con-
dition and equipment of the vessel It
is usually made Immediately preced-
ing the expiration of the vessels
license, and at a time when the owrer
or agent has arranged for the inspec-
ton Other inspections, however, are
made at times when the owners or
agents have had no opportunity 10
prepare for the inspection.
In the matter of lifeboats. the regu-
lations require that there shall be
sufficient lifebOat capacity TO care for
every passenger and member Of the
crew At least one of these boats
must be made of metal, unless OK
empted by the supervising inspector
Of the district The regulation also
provides that all vessels Of 80 gross
tons and upwards shall carry at least
one working boat.
II is provided that on vessels carry
| ing passengers, such boats, except
where permission is especially grant
ed by the supervising inspector, shall
have a cubic foot capacity of not less
than $50 cubic feet 1t is estimated
that this capacity will accommodate
22 persons The lifeboats must be
equipped with lanterns, rations, water
keg, boat hooks, two pairs of oars
two extra oars and a steering oar 0i
rudder, spirits of turpentine for tim.
ming lantern wicks andsix night dis
tress signals.
Ocean-going vessels of more thar
10000 tons burden. in addition to u,
400 cubic feet of lifeboat capacity, ar,
required to provide an additional boa
capacity of 225 cubic feet for each ad
ditonal 500 gross tons or fraction
thereof
Had the steamship Titanic. who's
reported displacement was $4,000 tons
been equipped with lifeboat capacit,
in accordance with the United State
inspection regulations, the total ca
pacity in ccordancecbmfwgky qcmfy
pacity would have been 22,0S0 cubi
feet, providing for 220S persons, NOR
than the number of passengers car
ried by the Titanic. and a raft capa

As the Titanic had never docked /
