AVERAGE CHANGE
SMALL IN STOCKS
Trend of Market Toward
Lower Range-Slight
Gains in Bonds

New York, February 5.-The trend of
the stock market today was toward a
lower range, but the movement was slow
and hesitating and the average change
was small. There was no sign of the
Vigorous professional operations and out
| side buying which attended the recent
advance. The marker drifted idly.
| Having discounted in the rise which
began last year the improvement that
has since occurred in monetary and busi-
ness conditions, the market has come al
! hmost to a standstill pending new influ-
i Pences of sufficient Importance to give
direction to speculation. In this eonnec-
ton the street awaits developments in
connection with petitions of the eastern
railroads for higher freigh rates, the
.Mexican situation and steps toward anti
trust legislation at Washington.
Prices hardened slightly in the early
|trading, but an increased supply of stocks
was met and the improvement was
checked promptly. Some of the special
ties which have advanced rapidly yielded
part of their gains but others of these
|shares moved up. Woolworth rose brisk
fly on appearance of its annual report,
Fshowing nearly II per cent earned on
rthe common stock.
The improvement in the investment mar
ket has been such that some of the prn-
|cipal railroads are expected soon to enter

The Famous Parepa-Rosa and Flo
tows "Ah, SO Pure" From martha"

Almost within sight of Holyrood
castle In Edinburgh, Euphrosyne Pa
repa Rosa was born She was the
daughter of Wallachian gentleman,
and In her walks down Princess street
che could not resist singing the ballads
of her native land. She made her debut
as Amina In La Sonnambula" In the
Island of Malta. Then she assumed the
name of Parepa. No one has been able
to understand Just why. She married a
Captain Carroll in 1853, but was left a
widow two years later and Obliged to
return to the operate stage. She made
several notable tours of the United
States and later married Carl Rosa, the
celebrated violinist, and took the hy-
phenated name which she has made
famous She was one of the first to
organize the English opera company in
tho United States, although she sang
for many years in Italian opera. While
she sang in Cairo, Egypt, and three
continents. she always felt that the
most genuine appreciation of her tall
ents was in the United States. To hear
Parepa sing "Ah. So Pure" from the
opera Martha" the veteran operagoer
of today delights to tell about Her
good nature was proverbial, and she
very seldom made concert tour that
1t was not necessary to cut the pro-
gramme in one half in order to enable
her to respond to all the encores de-
manded Like all other prima donna s \
of established reputation, there is al
ways some simple ballad that reaches
the hearts of all the people. which
fixed the fame of popular artists in
the minds of the people and on that
much of the permanence of their fame
rests.
This famous classic. from Martha"
with many others equally celebrated. is
to be had in the great collection OF
Heart songs now offered by this pa
"Eeart Songs now offered by this pa
constitute a gift. We ask our readers
to seriously consider the book offer
that now appears in our advertising
columns as tribute of this newspaper

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, February ESPECIALLY
Following the lead OF Liverpool where
the demand for the moment seems to
have slackened, our market has been
heavy all day, closing at II to 20 points
decline. 1t is said the decline abroad
is due to the heavy movement of the
crop which increases the excess over
last season at a time when 1t had been
expected to fall off.
SO little cotton is coming here even
at the premium of March that with the
opinions Of the members from the south
that the demand for low grades had
improved the differences on revision
was made last evening.
The local trade has become very pes
simistic over the outlook. The feeling
that the effects of these large receipts
ant. the Withdrawal of spinners Will
check any investment demand.

COTTON OFF NEARLY
ONE DOLLAR ABALE
Profit Taking by Short Side
Main Support-October
IL Points Under
Open. High.

New Orleans, February 5-The cotton
market had an easy undertone today and
fell off nearly a dollar a bale on the most
active months. Profit Waking by the short
side was the main support. At the low
est of the day the old crops were 16
to 10 points under yesterdays last QUOTA
tions. October was II points under. The
close was barely steady at net decline
OF to II points.
Selling in the early part OF the session
was due to the lack of any change in
spot differences in the New York mar
ket after the meeting of the revision
committee yesterday. Selling was in
duced later by predictions of bearish
weekend statistics as the result OF a
large movement into sight and expected
small mill takings.
