STORM DERANGED WIRES
INTERFERE WITH BULLS
i
Speculation On Their Side Was On a
Light Scale at Opening of the Mar
ket To-ilay—Trading Becomes Dull
at Mlc" day
Bv Associated Press.
New Vork. Feb. 2. —(Wall Street) —
Speculation on the bull side was on a
light s.-ale at the opening to-day, partly
i as the result of derangement to wire
facilities by the storm, and the vigor-!
1 ous character of yesterday's late rise
which prompted realizing. Prices in
I nearly all instance? were higher, par- 1
ticularlv Steel, which rose almost a
point to 40 3-4. Heading, which made
a striking advance yesterday barely
held its own. St. Paul dropped on its j
unfavorable December earnings, but
met support.
Prices reacted all around before the '
end of the tirst hour, < anadian Pacific 1
losing two points and Reading and !
Steel yielding on profit taking. Steel's!
setback was regarded as natural iu I
view of the sudden recovery from yes
terday 's low prices. Another sensa
tional rise in wheat options acted as a J
partial deterrent to market activity,
trailing becoming dull at midday. Bonds
were steady.
Active buying was renewed after
midday and most early losses were re
trieved. Steel and Reading were at their
best and Canadian Pacific also rose
spiritedly with a brisk demand for tele
graph and telephone issues.

NERVES AND WATCHES
; When They Dcu't Agree There Is Sure
to Be Poor Time
| One of the troubles of watchmakers
|is the man who gets on his watch's
, nerves. There are lots of customers on
I whom a good watch is wasted. A good
| second-hand watch that has kept per
| feet, liino for other people will with
j certain other people go irregularly
I when it is not standing still. It is
; common in the trade that
watches are greatl yinfluem-ed by their
owners.
Xobody knows the reason, but two
explanations have been offered. One is
that watches are sensitive to personal
magnetism, the natural electricity that
human beings contain in varyiu" quan
tities.
The other is that a watch may be
disturbed bv the vibrations set up by
a footstep which is heavier than the
ordinary. The man who puts his hoels
down heavily usually needs to set the
! regulator toward slow to koep it from
gaining.
One of the mysterious sides of the
subject is that watches seldom keep
good time on people of nervous, excit
able temperaments.—Pearson's Weekly.

Cairo. Via London, Feb. 2, 11.09
IA. M.—Although there has been no
further lighting in the Suez canal dis
trict, a considerable number of Turkish
( deserters have surrendered. They have
given graphic descriptions of the march
I from Jerusalem by way of Heersheba
J and El-Arish (near the boundary of
j Ufiypt and Palestine). They say they
j were provided only with a meagre sup
j ply of provisions and were compelled
' to buy food at high prices from Bed
| ouins."
The deserters were under the com
j mand of a German officer, whose insist
ence upon maintaining strict discipline
was exceedingly irksome, they assert.
1 A wounded Turkish soldier toid of be
ing ordered to climb u telegraph pole
' and cut the wires. When he refused,
i saying climbing wns not part of a sol
dier's duty, the officer is said to have
I struck him with his sword, cutting off

Reading, Pa„ Feb. 2.—Another se
-1 rious obstacle in the way of the erec
| tion of the Stough evangelistic taber
-1 nac'e at Hill road aud Clvmer streets
arose yesterday, when William H. Lu
den, Reading's millionaire confection
jor and owner of the premises, an
! nounced that he would require a bond
in the sum of $500,000 to indemnify
him against any loss in the event of
an accident resulting in the loss of life
or serious injury to persons attending
the services.
He took this step as a result of the
experience of Frnnk P. Laucr, local
brewer, who has been required to pay
j heavy damages as the result of the eol
j lapse of a double-deck grandstand at
| the Lauer Park baseball ground after
I he had leased away the ground.

closures lighted one 'bv one, or in pairs,
and their actions while Speaking to
'iTi 80 " 8 l ''T or persons they
didn t, provide much amusement.
Josie Heather, the Euglish come
dienne, and 'Henry I. i.M*uvshull, the coun
poser of popular songs, have an act in
which it. is hard to tell whether Muss
Heather's pleasing personality or Mr.
Marshall's catahy compositions is the
feature. The rendition
of "The 6.1'0 " deserved the especially
loud applause it received last night.
Not without touches 0 f comedy,

one, although it leave® with its spec
