NEW YORK sTocK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York Feb 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 outside buy
ing which attended the recent advance.
The market drifted idly.
Having discounted In the rise was be-
gan last year the Improvement that has
since occurred in monetary and business
conditions, the market has come almost
to a standstill pending new influences OF
sufficient influence to give direction to
speculation. In this connection the street
awaits developments In connection with
the petition of the Eastern railroads for
higher freight rates. the Mexican situa-
ton and steps toward antitrust legisla-
ton at Washington.
Prices hesitated slightly in the early
trading. but an increased supply OF
stocks was met, and Improvement was
checked promptly. Traders favored the
short side and occasionally sold stocks.
but met with but little success in seek
ing out weak spots. few OF the respre-
as much as a point under yesterday 5
close Some OF the specialties which
have advanced rapidly yielded part of
their gains. but others of these shares
moved UP. Woolworth rose briskly Oh
appearance of its annual report.
Improvement in the investment mar
ket has been such that some of the prin-
cipal railroads are expected soon to en-
ter the market for large amounts of new
capital. 1t was reported today that
Southern Pacific would put out an issue
of $1,000 0o0 convertibes. Although TINS
report met with denial il was learned
that the directors were contemplating
some such action in the near future.

Happy New Year.
HOOD RIVERS NEW YEAR

At is not the Hood River people alone
who say that the community here
among the Cascade range is one of the
most progressive on the Pacific coast,
one of the most highly developed
regions Of the civilized world, but Wis
itors pass favorable comment, and
Hood River people who travel in other
parts Of the American continent and in
other parts of the world. in making
comparisons that take in all seasons.
w;ntertime, springtime, sumser and
autumn, find their home cogntry ever
attractive. II is true tht in the winter
months the snow, as at present, piles
high, and the sunshine of the south
and n California is alluring. but the
blanket of white breaks the monotony,
and the beauty of spring and the won
ders of summertime are appreciated all
the more. We may fret a little, when
the snow covers the streets of our
town and the valleys orchards, but
who of US regrets that we are able to
enjoy good sleigh ride? Who would
not listen to the music Of the sleigh
bells?
All regions have their difficulties.
The less the troubles that a community
has, the less prosperous it is, as gen.
eral rule. II is true that one may find
an old conservative region, where all
are content to let each year pass as
those preceding. The people are con-
tent to live in the same old way. But
here in Hood River the spirit of pro-
gress, that typifies the west coast. is a
little more than typical. This is rather
g strangely worded sentence, but we
think it conveys meaning that could
not be expressed in any other way.
City and valley have made progress
the past year. There is different
feeling prevailing from that of last
year at the present time, when uncer-
tainties ruled. Apple growers have
changed their method Of farming. The
