NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Speculative Activity in Wall Street
Diminishes Yesterday.
IMPROVEMENT IN THE MORNING
subsequently, Drifts Back Again
Days business Less Than Halt
of that OF tire Preceding
Day.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1q.-Speculstlve ac-
tNity diminished today and except in
few isolated cases movements were
slowly In Che morning, but subsequently
drifted back again. The days business
was about half OF that transacted in
the preceding session.
The morning advance was influenced
by the statement of Commissioner Har-
Ian of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion that decision would be made in
three months. Speculative opinion in
clines strongly to the belief that some
increase will be granted. There was
good inquiry for the standard railroad
shares and Rlco for the stocks OF steel
companies and affiliated industries which
are expected to benefit from a more
liberal buying policy on the part OF the
carriers II they are permitted to raise
their rates. The extent to which the
speculative position Is bound up In the
freight rate case Is shown by the week 5
movement in stocks Mondays sharp
decline and yesterdays confined fluctua-
items were due almost entirely to Wash
ington reports concerning verious phases
Of the question and today II was again
the uppermost consideration in influen-
cling the market.
The afternoon reaction was due more
! TO the cessation of buying than to pres
sure on the list. Weakness OF various
stocks also held back the general mar
! ket. Rock Island preferred made a new
! low record at 9S. j. /, Case preferred

total up TO tS,099 head. This Is more than
40O0 smaller than last week and nearly
6,0Oo short OF the same days last year.
Good runs at all points brought a gem
eral reaction In prices this morning, and
the local trade opened very slow, with
early bids around 5Gl0c lower Not much
OF anything was done during the first
rounds, as salesmen were pricing their
holdings at steady figures, but trading
basis was finally reached, and when the
offerings started TO move values were
generally steady TO &c lower. Trade con-
tinuei rather dun throughout the morn
ing. many OF the sellers holding till late
In an effort TO get steady prices, but IN
the end the bulk OF the offerings was
cashed on a steady TO &C lower basis.
From the sellers standpoint the week =
trade has been In n fairly satisfactory
condition. With the exception OF the
first day OF the week receipts have been
large but good. strong demand has
held values up, and todeys prices show
an advance of nearly l5c over the close

CATTLE-Rec were from a buyers
standpoint disappointingly small this
morning, only seventy-flve cars being re-
ported in sight. Still the total for the
largest OF any similar period since the
middle OF January. but smaller than the
corresponding period year ago by over
! 1000 head.
II was very apparent this morning that
buyers wanted some cattle and they were
out i'm the yards In good season In tho
morning. so that the trade In beef steers
opened early and active with the result
that the few cattle on sale soon changed
hands. The prices paid were fully lOc
higher and In some cases possibly
stronger even than that. Tho quality OF
the cattle on an average was poor ana
there was nothing very choice to make a
top. A little bunch OF yearlings sold up
as high as $40.
Cows and heifors experienced the same
advance as beef steers, selling early ana
fully l0c higher.
Spectators and yard traders had a
good many stockers and feeders on hand
| that they had carried over from the first
OF the week and they were not overly
anxious for additional supplies, 80 that
| the few fresh Btockers and feeders IN
sight did not show much change.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.


CHICAGO, Feb. 1A-Suggestions of crop
damage in northern Texas, western Okla
homa and parts OF Kansas and Nebraska
tended somewhat to dispel heaviness to-
day in the wheat market here. AS re-
suit, prices closed fairly steady to
shade off to a like amount up. In corn
the outcome was unchanged to M0Dhc
lower and for oats virtually the same as
yesterday. Provisions finished all the
way from last nights level to 10ai21hc
down.
Wheat weakened at the outset owing
to declining prices at Liverpool, notwith-
standing that the foreign setback was
chiefly due to optimistic field advices
from this side of the water. remark
able decrease in shipments from Argen-
tina, however, served to check the bears.
Sellers were made less venturesome, too,
by ODESSA cables saying that receipts
there were light and that interior reserves
were small
Domestic reports of injury TO winter
wheat west and southwest were not OF
radical sort. They were emphasized,
however, by almost simultaneous news OF
harm said to have been done by severe
weather in northwest Russia and in
Austra-Hungary and France. Owing to
the absence, though, of any special activ-
| ity by export houses or on the part OF
| millers, the best prices of the SESSION
were not maintained
Bear spectators hammered the corn
1 market, but made no decided impression.
| Chances Of unsettled weather, bad roads
and smaller receipts interfered. Oats were
| upheld by continued lightness of primary
| receipts.
Free selling of lard by packers weighed
| down provisions. The market also felt
the effect of sag in the price of hogs,

WORK WITH LITTLE FOLKS
BASIS OF CONFERENCES
Plans Nearly Complete for the Sec
ond Half Of Teachers
"Institute."

Plans are nearly complete for the
second half of the institute for first
grade and kindergarten teachers of the
District public schools. arranged by
Miss Elizabeth v. Brown, director of
primary instruction, and Miss Gather
inc r. Watkins. director of kindergar-
tens. Recently the teachers Of the kim
dergartens visited the first grade
schools. Now the first grade teachers
are to visit the kindergartens.
Through these conferences between
the teachers it is hoped to get closer
cooperation. Teachers of the first
grade are expected to learn more ex-
actly just what is taught the children
in the kindergartens, while the teachs
ers of the kindergartens are expected
to gain better insight into the work
for which they are preparing the little
folks.
Miss Brown is to explain the work
seen by the kindergarten teachers in
their visits, at a conference of teach
ers of both first grades and kindergar-
tens to be held Thursday at the Thorn
son School. Three days, November "a.
December 8 and 10, are to be used as
visiting days by the first grade teach
ers. The schools which are to be vis-
tied have not yet been chosen.
