STOCK MARKET
WAS STATIONARY
Tobacco and Copper Shares
Were the Only Ones That
Moved

New York. Feb. 9.-Except for the
tobacco and copper shares. the stock
market was almost stationary during
the greater part Of today's session.
Prices of a few active isues rose at
the opening. but fell back on bear
selling. Changes for the day in most
cases were insignificant.
The copper stocks were the strong
est features Of the market. Trading
in these issues was Influenced by the
favorable report of the Copper Pro-
ducers' association. Although a re-
duction in stocks on hand had been
expected. the decrease of more than
2~3,0O0,O0O pounds surpassed expecta-
lions. and was made the basis Of a
demonstration by bull traders. Am
algamated Copper was marked up
90. American Smelling 1913 and
n other coppers a point or more.
Although domestic deliveries fell off,
there was an increase in the foreign
deliveries. and a decrease Of 1859, 900
pounds in the production for January.
Although the dizziness of the mar
ket recently has been attributed part
~ to the desire to await develop
ments at Washington regarding the
congressional investigation of the
J Ao ACoPOLlSc WAS IldOC
to the news that the investigation
probably would be confined to con-
sentative limits.
Reduction of the Bank Of Eneland's
rate Of discount from 4 to 3 1-2 per
cent. had been predicted by interna.
tional bankers here. and it was said
that the official rate of the Bank Of
Germany which now stands at 5 per
cent. probably would be rdeuced on
Monday.
Two more shipments of gold out of
the country We're reported today. An
additional 100000 was engaged for
transportation to Paris. brining up the
total on the present movement to So
100000. For South America $3.50, 900
was obtained. The loss in gold. is ex-
pected to play an important part in
the weeks bank statement. An APP
preciable u in the surplus reserve
at the end of the week is regarded as
probable.
Buying Of bonds was widely dis
tributed and prices were held we'll.
Total sales. par value. $3.357.000.
U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

due to the deadlock in the coal trade

While we have not as yet reaped all

STREET CAR MEN AT
WINoNA ON STRIKE
90

+ Washington, Jan. 17.-Anl organiza-
ton Of street car men in Winona,
Minnesota. was recently effected by
General Organizer J. D. Chubbuck,
soon after which officials Of the rail
road company commenced to employ
the usual tactics Of unnecessary an
noyances and fault:hnding to the men
and discriminating against those who
had accepted official positions in the
new union. The men finally drew up
q proposed agreement with the COM
pany, setting the minimum rate Of
pay at Is cents per hour and the maxi
mum % cents. The company declined
to enter into negotiations with the
men and discharged the committee.
This precipitated a strike. The COM
pany is in the hands of receiver who
is being appealed to, to grant the men
a hearing and arrive at satisfactory
adjustment Of the dispute.
