SPECULATION IS AT HALT

New York. May 1S.-Speculation
practically came to halt today.
Prices reached about a point, but
there was no notable selling pres
sure nor any attempt to create in
terest by advancing prices. Total
sales were barely more than 100000
shares and half of this business was
done in the first hour. Opening prices
were uncertain and fractionally lower.
United States Steel slipped down a
point and Missouri Pacific became con-
spicuous in the dull market on de-
cline to IL SIS on unfavorable rumors
regarding the extension of The notes
due June /. The close was extreme
ly dull but steady.
Stock markets sometimes accurately
reflect public sentiment. The dull
ness and firmness now ruling in Wall
street may be eloquent of the Vie
Endorsement of President Wilson's at
titude.
Trading in the war stocks dropped
to the background and the copper
stocks were neglected, moving off with
the general list. Dizziness ruled in
- the market for copper metal and
fractional recessions in prices were
noted but no importance was attached
TO this the large producers are well
sold ahead.
+ Foreign Exchange Easier.
Foreign exchange was distinctly
easier with demand
Sterling dropped 10 AS Is, but no

Ohio River 5.4 Feet Above Danger
Mark and Still Rising
BY Associated Press.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 6.-The Ohio
river this morning was "a feet above
food stage and continued to rise at the
rate of two-tenths of a foot an hour.
The greater part of the ground in the
river section of the city is under water
though little actual suffering has taken
place. This was made possible by the
ample notice that was given to all those
in the flooded district.
The river registered SAT feet at 9
o'clock ami an announcement was is
sued shortly thereafter by the Central
Union Railroad depot officials that the
station would be vacated early in the
afternoon. All of the railroads have
made preparations to move to other sta
tions on higher ground not far from the
Central Union.
The Weather Forecaster stated that
the river would reach a maximum here
of Sc feet some time Sunday morning
and begin to fall on Monday. The an
nouneement said that the crest Of the
flood has been reached at Portsmouth,
Ohio, at 55.5 and was falling at ali
points above Portsmouth.
