CONDITIONS IN wAEL STREET.

New York, Feb. 2-Opening--Roc ocI5 Island securities continued today the rapid decline which began Saturday owing to the report that the company would be recognized. Both the stocks and bonds were pressed for sale at the opening. The common fell 2ss, the preferred 2 points and the colla- teral fours A. Weakness of these securities affected the general list which, after an irregular opening be- came heavy. Canadian Pacific, North ern Pacific, Union Pacific, Reading, Smeating, Westingh ouSe, Western Un- ion, American Telephone and Pressed Steel Car lost a point each. Biscuit rose 2 5s-
 Noon-A brisk recovery followed the early decline in prices and by noon most of the leading stocks were on level with the previous close or slight iy above. The break in Rock Island securities was the principal feature in the early downward movement. Re- ports that dividends would be sus- pended on Chicago, Rock Island &, Pacific stock, which is security for the Rock Island collateral bonds, ac- companied the slump in all of the old and new Rock Island issues. Pressure was lifted later on denial that the company was suffering from financial embarrassment.
 Rock Island seoclzs made up part of their losses and the general list ad- vaneed.- The drop in American TeIe- phone. and sympathetic weakness of Western Union were associated with the recommendations of the postnfas- ter general for government acquisi- ton of the wire companies Bonds

PARRGTT OFFERS PLAN TO RELIEVE
 MAIN ST. TRAFFIC
Proposes Tunnel Under Golden Hill and Elm Steets Into Natural Swale Beyond.

H. R. Parrott, one of Bridgeport's best known citizens, who has been all his life familiar with conditions here, proposes a plan for route to relieve Main street, which would cost less to put into effect than some of the plans that have been proposed. MT. Parrott. today, in a talk with a re- porter of the Farmer said:
 As g. plan for the extension of Broad street. for the relief of Main street, was referred to the City Planning Committee I presume any citizen, having the interest of the city in view, may submit another plan. for their consideration.
 The route referred to them runs from Elm street over the crown of the hill at Congress street to Wash ington. avenue. thence down the hill to Main street.
 This is but 8 very sleight variation from the present route over the same hill, down Harrison street to Elm for years, and if used now would materially relieve Main street, and it very plainly shows that travel will not be diverted over 9 hill in prefer ence to one on the level
 Years of experience of the Harri- son street route, has demonstrated the fact that to make any route attrac- tive and successful he climbing of the hill must be eliminated, and that can only be done by subway from Elm street, under Golden Hill and Con- gress street. into open beyond through a natural swaIe on the up per end to connect with Main, Cath crime, North Washington avenue and adjacent streets in the vicinity of Bulls Head, thus opening up a new and direct route Independent of Main, from that section of the city through Broad to Seaside park. this exten- ! sion being on a level free from tracks, trolley cars and detentions, will natur- ally attract, and divert, all of the heavy, as well as 8 large portion Of the pleasure and light trafiic and this firmly believe is the only plan that will ever divert the traffic sufficiently to warrant the expenditure.
