FINANCIAL ANO
MONEY MARKET

Now York, March 1o.-Business on
the stock exchange today was larger
and much more diversified, but the
quicker pace was attended by further
substantial depreciation OF quoted val
ucs.
Selling for both accounts of the rail-
way shares was the feature. Declines
of to 5 points embraced almost every
class of transportations. In some IN :
stances lowest prices for number OF
years were registered.
The break in rails was naturally at
tributed to the decision of tho var
ious systems to cut in wages and sal
aries from the war time basis in con-
formity with existing economic condi-
tions and a policy of retrenchment.
Other incidents. such as the Fcbru-
AIRY tonnage report of tho United states
Steel Corporation, repeating another
large increase in untitled orders were
among factors which played into the
hands of the aggressive short interests,
Stcels, railway equipments, ship
pings. coppers and oils. the European
issues excepted. wcrc involved In the
general reversal at declines of | to 4
points. as we'll as many epecialtics.
Liquidation was at its height In the
last hour Pressure against United
States Steel and Pennsylvania was
ing at net losses of and rs points
respectively. Sales. 100000 shares
Altho money on call and time WAS
UNCHANGED as to rates, supplies for
boyh forms OF accommodations were
smaller.
Principal foreign exchange rates
moved more favorahly to home cent
crs.
In tho bond market lower prices
ruled for domestic and foreign issues.
Liberty 5i-c at seo.l2 made a new low
record for tho year. Total sales, par

CHICAGO, Sept. S-From a popula,
ton of $4,000 to 100000, Ferdinand
| w Peck, Chicago's oldest resident ma
tive, has watched Chicago grow. He
was born 10 years ago. His father be-
fore him could tell an even peter story
for he watched Chicago grow from a
handful of frontiersmen, a bare 40, to
$4,000 in II.
While his fathers life in Fort Dear.
| born was more narrowing, Ferdinand
Peck has had the more remarkable ca
reer. His father with 80 others in
| 1880 repulsed 400 Indians near where
the new double deck Michigan avenue
bridge now stands. He died two weeks
| following the great Chicago fire.
Rode With President Lincoln.
Ferdinand Peck opened his career in
| the public eye at the age of II, when
he rode in the carriage with Abraham
Lincoln at his second inaugural. From
that day to this Mr., Peck has been one
of the most befriended and befriending
patrons of the press this country holds
Few men. his friends say, have held the
number of public and quasi-public posi-
tions that have come to Mr.. Peck.
Most important of all his accomplish
mentS, Mr.. Peck counts his work in or
ganizing. financing and completing the
Auditorium, which houses the Chicago
opera. This was done largely unaided,
Mr.. Peck said. He had President
Cleveland to day the corner stone. and
President Harrison to dedicate the fin
iShed building. All the officials of Can
ada and governors of IA states at
tended the dedication.
Largest of World
Mr.. Peck's latest pride is the Chi

honorary president and to which he de-
posed of $50 girls, and is twice the size
Mr.. Peck says of the next largest girls
| band in existence.
Fifty-four years ago Mr.. Peck aided
| in founding the Chicago Press club
and since then helped found five other
of the city's most prominent clubs. For
seven terms he was president of the
| Chicago board of education. He caused
erection of the first confederate mOnu-
ment north of the Mason and Dixon

regiment of 1000 men south, and
