NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Beginning
with recovery in prices which at
fected nearly all the market, the day
ended with a sharp and general de-
cline. In some respects 1t app ared
that ihe confusion and entanglements
in various quarters in which financial
attention has been riveted was
smoothing out. The threatened fire
mems strike was averted by the ac-
cep. ance Of the Erdman act scheme
of arbitration and in the later after
noon, dispatches from Mexico indicat-
ed that the extraordinary combat in
the capital might speedily be termi-
mated by the disintegration of Ma
dero's army On the early stock mar
ket the news regarding the railway
employees dispute evoked rather
quick response The eastern railways
concerned in the dispute rose a point
or more and there were similar adj
vances in such stocks as Union Paci-
fic,l Copper and United States Steel.
Around noon, however, this recovery
seemed to have spent Its force. Be
fore the closing hour, virtually all of
the earlier advance was lost and re-
sumption OF pressure on the market.
from then until The close, ended the
/ day with general weakness, along
with considerably increased activity.
j There was an early easier tone to
call money rates and most of the
loans were m6de around 31a percent.
No large loans were applied for, how
ever, owing to the dullness Of trad
ing on the stock exchanges.

H|CN|CHT SHOOTING
TALKED SATURDAY
WouNDEo MAN WAS ON SPECIAL
POLICE FORCE. PYEATT AND
TUCKER DID NOT KNOW HIM.

VIII Hignight, who was shot down
while making a raid on South Wash
ington street Thursday night, was a
.spec.al policeman. He was sworn in
at the city hall as one of the last Of
fetal acts of the day, and within a
few hours he was lying with 40
calibre pistol bullet within one inch
of his heart.
Bert Tucker and Cyrus Pyeatt were
placed in Jail awaiting developments
in the case These men stated yester-
day morning that officers entered
their place for search and found moth
ing, that they offered no resistance
whatever, and after the raid they
were giving Policeman Hays the
names Of those who were in the build
ing against whom it was presumed
gaming charges would be filed. While
they were doing this, some words
came up between them and Hignight
They stated they had no idea he was
an officer and if he had stated that he
was a member of the force they would
have said nothing to him. They stat
ed that Hignight made the first show
of fight before the guns were drawn.
They expressed regret at the occur
renee and said they would have been
sujm ssive and no trouble would have
occurred if the man had let them know
who he was.
In speaking of the affair Deputy
United States Marshal Hignight said
yesterday morning:
"A little after 10 o'clock Thursday
night my attention was called to some
of the city officers raiding the place
