improbable that with the adjournment OF

If has now been six years since the

Industrial activity.
The low prices Of the year were reached
early this week. Bankers and brokers
are telling their friends that while they

passed and that 1t Is the part OF wisdom
TO place surplus capital in securities at

The foundation seems more solid than

and bonds now there Is less nervousness
and timidity in the transactions.
There il a growing sense of safety and

every bank and brokerage Office the
burden of the literature that goes out Is
that thrifty and prudent people will be
making no mistake in putting their
spare money Into seasoned shares and
bonds that yield 5 to per cent. This
sort OF campaign can be productive of

exhausted by any means, but the process
of absorption Is going steadily forward

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE stringency
in the Berlin money market maintained
its dragging effect on all financial mar
kets this week, and continued to restrain
the influences Of q number Of favorable
developments. The latter were sum-
GENTLY active to induce large covering OF
short lines Of stocks.
Operations Of more positive kind are
withheld to await clearer prospect Of
the April settlements at Berlin. That
center made large additional acquisitions
for gold on London and New York, the
result being to distribute the strain, to
the benefit Of Berlin and at the expense
OF the other points
The heavy outgo OF gold from New
York came after shipments In January
and February larger than ever before for
those months. The surplus reserve at
New York fell to a low point and the
inevitable Tightening of money rates here
followed. The effect was transmitted to
other domestic. money markets
Peace Prospects Help.
Reports that Russia and Austria had
agreed to demobilize afforded some relief
from the previous weeks apprehension
over the army expansion plans OF the
European powers. The expected peace
In the Balkans Is relied on to bring q re-
Taxation OF financial strain.
Business and industrial affairs showed
no large variations from q wholly favor
able course. United States SteePs de-
filled tonnage seemed of slight moment
compared with the orders yet untitled,
and the active specifying by consumers
for needs further in the future than ever
before. Idle freight cars increased over
1900 during the second half Of Februt
airy. but earnings reports showed contin-
ued expansion. Large orders for new
equipment also showed that the rail-
roads were still struggling to keep up
with demands on their resources.

Railroad Officials Hopeful.

Published views Of railroad officials
were IN hopeful strain. On the other
side Of the scale were such items as
the reduced earnings of the American
Sugar Refining Company. and doubts re-
garding the maintenance OF dividend
rates by several corporations.
The part played by the Union Pacific
tangle in dfscouraging speculation could
be seen in the response to varying init
nations Of the chances for agreement
on the plan Of dissolution. Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific moved irregularly,
the latter In particular displaying weak
ness.

Cotton Goods Quiet.

Trade in primary cotton goods market
IL essentially quiet, the jobbers' distrib-
uting period being well over so far as
broad activity goes. Retailers are active.
In the print cloth division q few con-
structions have sold at easier prices.
while many others have remained un-
changed. Fall River sold but 10000 pieces
for the week: Printers are selling per-
Gale and staples in very moderate Quap-
titles.
Business in draperies for new season
has begun. Heavy domestics continue
firm. with mills moderately well sold
for sixty days ahead on the medium
weight sheetings and drills. Bleached
cottons are quiet.
Dress ginghams under the ten-cent re-
tail range OF prices are very steady.

fects. are good sellers at retail and they
are being reordered from the mills.
Roads Buy Rolling Stock.
Finished steel orders are numerous and
the tone Of the market is strong. Pros
poets of not getting supplies until way
into the fall do not deter buyers. and
those who want quick delivery are will
ing apparently to pay sim premium
for 1t.
Argentina has placed orders for 1900
tons of rails and northwestern roads
have bought $4,000 tons of Bessemer,
In some cases paying premium for
early delivery.
Car builders continue to place contracts.
The Pennsylvania has just completed
contracts for 100 passenger. thirty-five
refrigerator and twenty-five baggage
cars. besides seventy-two steel coaches
and twenty combination cars. The Bal
timore and Ohio Is in the market for
{ OOlD freight cars and the Boston and
Maine for 5000. The Pennsylvania
placed a contract for la heavy freight
locomotives with the Baldwins at an ap-
proximate cost OF $3,5O0,OO0. The Bald

Missouri Pacific for Ave locomotives and

land was the Land of No Strikes; now
the strike fever wakes strong again.
Why? Because, says one section, labor
has squeezed the arbitration lemon
dry. Nothing more is to be gained by
arbitration The workman has all he
asked for-more than he expected,
more than he ever had in any other
country. Is he satisfied? No more
than is labor in New South Wales or
Victoria, though in New South Wales
it controls the government, is the gov
crnment. Where is the end?
The strife has become an unequal
one-from capitals point of view. 1t
tends to become acute because capital
sings to the old dogmas and repeats
its platitudes. Capital may be right.
But-and this is the point not to be
overlooked-labor doesn't believe it.
And on both sides the agitator still
has a good business. These agitators
are demagogues or tyrants according
TO the point Of view. All are equally
sane and sound, in their own eyes and
those Of their followers; likewise mar
tyred reformers or pillars of society,
also depending on your point OF view.

tire lower portion of his face. He
was still alive when brought to the
Queens Hospital, but little hope was
expressed by the consolidating physi-
clPns for his recovery.
The whole lower jaw had been shot
away. The injuries presented a hor,
rible and grewsome spectacle, as the
stan Of surgeons and nurses worked
in clearing away the mass of torn
flesh, shattered bone and dislocated
teeth, that at times almost prevented
the man from gaining his breath. An
examination made Immediately upon
the arrival of Fernandez on the oper-
atng table resulted in the belief that
no vial organ had been touched by
the charge of bird shot that had been
discharged into the lower portion of
his face
The story related by the children
who were spectators to the murder
are to the effect that Fernandez fired
upon himself almost Immediately after
he had discharged the contents of one
barrel into the head of the woman.
