STOCK MARKET TONE FIRM As Five Issues Move Up 1 to 2 Points. ——— NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—Weakness In the railroad issue*, a belated response to the action of the labor board yesterday, featured a dull opening of the stock market today.

(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Feb. 11— We had another dull and uninteresting sesstlon yesterday. There was but a moderate amount of commission house business and professionals have been les active than recently. There is a lack ol Interest and no Incentive for Important operations. A little activity develops now and then In a few issues just as we had yesterday In California Petroleum and Sinclair. The buying may be classed as good, but there Is not enough of It to maintain an active market. The main obstacle at the present time is the uncertainty resulting from unsolved domestic and foreign problems, and time must be allowed for this. Commercially, affairs are also uncertain due to a lack of confidence in prevailing prices so that to some extent con dltlons are similar to what we had last year without the serious credit strain that complicated matters during 1920. At the present the money market is far from normal, but there Is nothing very serious In the situation and each day some progress Is undoubtedly being made In the way of liquidation. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—Twenty Industrial stocks averaged 75.59, up .11 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 74.42, down .24 per cent.

The extreme top price of the market was $10.50, which was paid for a few extra fancy light hogs. The bulk of sales for the market was [email protected]. Light hogs generally brought slo<3 10.25; mediums, $9.60@10, and heavy hogs, $8.75(29.25. Pigs generally brought $8.75(210.26, while roughs ranged at $7 @B. Receipts for the day were only fairly heavy at around 8,500 hogs, and with the active participation of most buyers a good clearance for the day was anticipated. With receipts around 700 fresh cattle, steers and heifers were generally 20c higher, while other grades of cattle held about steady with the closing prices of the Thursday market. Choice veals and good calves were weak at the opening of the market and con tinued that trend during the forenoon hours. B'ome of the medium and common grades of calves, however, were strong to 50 cents higher on better demand. There were but few good calves among the 300 receipts of the day and the natural presumption would be that price* on that grade would have been higher. The practical top of the market was sl4, but there were a few sales at $14.50, and reports that calves brought as high as sls, but the report could not be affirmed. There were approximately 100 sheep and lambs on the market, with sheep prices about ateudy and lamb* around $1 higher. HOG*.

May oats opened up %c at 44%c and gained %e later. July oats opened at 45%c. up %c, and dropped %• subsequently. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Fob. llWheat—The strength In cash wheat is the prime motive for advancing tendency of the market. Despite the disappearance of foreign demand and In the face of a rather slow milling trade, premiums for cash wheat are stronger. Bids for shipment via the gulf being advanced 2 cents. In the face of the comparatively small new buslaess In export circles and milling trade, it Is a fact that elevator accumulations at western markets do not increase. Out of the total visible supply we liava less then 15,000,000 bushels at points other than seaboard shipping ports. If accumulations have failed to increase during the time of negligence demand and if the cash market, shows strength under these conditions, then what may we expect when the flour trade really commences to build up the present depleted stock, It is not necessary to refer to insect infestation In the ? rowing crop or to possibilities of unit vorable news; the question of immediate supply and prospective demand is sufficient to creat the Idea of higher prices. Coarse Grains—Although values have made a fail recovery from the recent low point, there Is no evidence of any increase in the offerings ft out the country. On the contrary, there are several expressions of a determination to withhold the crop from the market on the theory that prices are sufficiently low and a better demand must appear sometime in the future. The very poor demand for cash gives opportunity to refer to the benefits derived from the speculative buying. Demand from this source Is the one sustaining prop under the hedging load placed against elevator accumulations. Prices should reflect the strength in wheat to a slight extent. Provisions—lt is not possible to uncover anv material improvement in the demand for hog products, the trade being influenced by the liberal receipts of ho s The movement of hogs is expected to continue throughout tills month, but at the same time It is believed there will be sufficient demand from packers and, shippers to malutain the present level of prices.

MEN ARE STILL BRAVE AND BOLD IN GOLDEN WEST Cowboy Contests at El Paso Stock Show Make Eastern Sports Child Play. SOME FEATS DESCRIBED By FREDERIC S. HASKIN. WASHINGTON, D. C.—You stand up and yell with admiration when you see a college football player make a flying tackle on another player of about his own •weight. What would you say for i man who would make a similar flying tackle on an 800 pound steer running at full speed and put the steer down? At the Long Island horse shows the> cheer the bold riders who take the high jumps on carefully trained thoroughbreds. In El Paso, at the recent annual meeting of the American National Livestock Association, thut would have been < onsldered about as exciting as taking >he baby for a ride In bis perambulator. Those who aspired to thrills at that place aud time tried to ride Kyoto, the famous outlaw broncho, who has thrown 173 men high in the air, and has never yet been successfully ridden. These comparisons suggest some differences between the East and the West, which may be worth reflecting upon. We are told that the typical American is becoming a docile, timid, pampered Individual. There were Americans of a different type in evidence at El Paso. Maybe those who think American manhood is gone to pot have never been very far West. They also tell us that the old-time vcowboy has vanished along with the Indian and the buffalo. Yet this extinct creature gathers by the thousands at conventions every year—in El Paso, in Las Vegas, in Cheyenne. The cowboy does not know that he is 'extinct. A census would perhaps show nearly as many men who can top a broncho or bulldog a steer 1 s ever there were. UINEBT QUALITIES OF HACK SHOWN IN CONTESTS. Because the cattlemen take pleasure In I heir calling and In all that belongs to it, i ats of horsemanship form the greatest ttractlon that can be given to them when they are looking for amusement. So there is opportunity at El Paso during convention week to spe American men and women in contests that bring into play all the finest qualities of the race and that make the sports of the East seem dull and lacking in the great : qualities by comparison. The contest I that seems to be in the greatest favor j and that has the largest demand on a | man’s courage, skill and strength is the sport known as ‘‘bulldogglng." In this pleasing pastime, a lithe and active steer Is released. He is off at high speed at once and behind him come two hardriding cowboys, each on his specially aud proven broncho. The first object is for each to euteh up with the steer, one on either side and this being done, the function of one of the cowboys is to keep the steer going as straight as possible. ; The other cowboy inches up to the steer; then suddenly leaves his mount and gaius a hold on the steer's neck and horns. Using his feet aud sometimes his whole body on the ground, he endeavors to throw the animal completely off it* feet. This is a real man’s lob. When the first contuct Is made the teer is going at perhaps fifteen miles m hour. He weighs about 800 pounds. The cowboy scales around I*o pounds. For the man to stop this onrushtng living mass with its full momentum, to bring it to a full stop and then to turn it completely bottom up so the feet are off the ground, call# for as much courage. skill and applied strength, perhaps, as any athletic feat ever performed by It is not an all-day job, either. The writer has seen it done in twelve seconds, from the time the steer was released until the Judge sHtnaled that the feat was complete by the steer being helpless 1 and “reversed.” Jim Massey of Snyder, Texas, did this. To see that able lad riding at full tilt up alongside hi* steer, then make the diving Jump from his saddle aud stop that steer and force him down iuto the dust of defeat by superb strength well applied would bring an audience upstanding and cbeerlug anywhere. With nearly all the spectators fully aware of the risks and merit* of the feat, there were all the cbeera a man could usk. One big citizen, who looked the prosperous cattleman he probably Is, after yelling all the yells he knew, which were considerable, expressed his appreciation thus: “Men, I would not have missed that for a thousand dollars, no matter how low cattle was selling for." CALF ROPING EVENT DESCRIBED. Yet this feat was done by others Vn fourteen seconds flat, In fourteen aud a fraction seconds and by practically all the contestants within a minute. Fancy cowboy and cowgirl ridlug, roping and all the other range sports got their turn in the public eye aud interest. Maybe it is easy to ride o cow pony while standing upright on the saddle, and to do all the other fancy riding •tricks, but this audience of experienced people did not think so, judging by their intense attention to all the details of the performance. The cowgirl was in evidence, and proved that there nr* very few riding tricks that a girt cannot do and still keep her good looks and style. In the calf-roping contests, the committee bad furnished a herd of Hereford calves (under 1 year old is a calf in the cattle country) that could run like deer. Frequently they could outrun the fleet cow ponies that had been specially selected and trained by their riders for this contest. The calf did not seem to be going so fast, having short uirnble legs under him, until It was seen that the hurd-ridlng cowboy, with his mount stretched to the lust inch, could not get within good roping distance. Then, too, in the course of these many doings, some of these calves had been roped before, and, like the bulldogged steer, after one experience they avoid repetition. If possible. When the calf sees that the rope is about to be thrown, he will frequently stop short, or turn quickly. Os course, the roper feels bad about It and says so, but the calf can hardly be expected to sympathize. For to be roped means to bo brought up to a stop suddenly and violently, to be thrown to the ground by a vigorous and fnst-worklng cowboy, to be tied and trussed up, und thus to await the Judges’ inspection and approval. Jerry Wright, of Brad.v, Texas, did all of this in twenty-nine aud one-fifth seconds and a large number did the feat in'less thau one minute. After the cattleman has taken his full part lu the proceedings of his convention and has been regaled with these sports that are so dear to him, he goes to the restaurant that he knows is all right by experience or by most careful inquiry. He passes up the fads and fashions of the bill of fare having neither taste nor desire for the things whose first function Is to please the palate or show varied skill in cookery. He knows what he wants. To his mind, beyond all argument, it Is the only food that white people ought to eat and the only food worth while. He orders a choice T-bone or tenderloin steak, full size, and. a* a slight concession to dietetic principle, a few fried potatoes on the side. With two cups of coffee this Is a meal to ba taken at all times, breakfast, dinner and supper. This diet violates almost every rule of the bboks, and certainly eoneedea nothing to the vegetariaus. It has In its favor the fact that the western vangeridlng cattleman seems to have more strength, nerve and endurance than any other type of human.
Offers to Bare Past of Judge; Draws $lO Fine Mind Reader Tells Court Nothing New in Revealing His *Troubles ’ “You have had lots of trouble. I will tell you about it," declared Mary McGill, as she stood before Judge Walter Pritchard In city court today. She was dressed in the picturesque garb affected b.v gypsy fortune tellers. She was* charged with violating the clairvoyant ordinance. “I don’t want my fortune told,” exclaimed the Judge,looking troubled. “No, don’t tell the Judge's fortune, exclaimed Prosecutor J. Burdette Little. “He has lots of trouble right here in this courtroom every day. What we want to know is, are you the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter?” “Yes,” said Mrs. McGill, shrugging her shoulders. Her attorney, Fred Hartman, demanded that she talk to the court through an interpreter, but the Interpreter proved to be her bondsman and Judge Pritchard said that as she seemed to be able to tell fortunes In English, she should testify In English and not Polish. “I read your mind,” explained Mrs. McGill. “Yes, but how do you do it?” asked Little. She placed her hands on her head and said, “I feel the bumps and read your mind.” "She is a phrenologist,” explained Attorney Hartman. “That’s fortune telling,” said Little. “No, it Is not,” exclaimed Hartman. She can read your mind and make a monkey of you.” “I am not going to give her a chance,” declared the prosecutor. Mrs. McGili was arrested by Sergeant Baker who visited a little booth she had arranged in the 500 block in Indiana avenue. Hattie TBomas and Eula Prince, negroes, both living at 515 North Senate avenue, were witnesses. “She felt my head and said, ‘You are separated from your husband,' ” testified Mrs. Prince. “Is that true?” asked the prosecutor. “Yes,” admitted the witness, “and then she said I was going to be sick, and that somebody had some of my hair.” "Is that true?" aked the prosecutor. “I don’t know," admitted Mrs. Prince, “and that was all, for that was where the police came In." “I will fine Mrs. McGill $lO and costs this time,” said the court, “but I want to warn her she must stop telling fortunes.” Planning- to Salvage Million Timber Loss SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 11.—To investigate and devise means of salvaging 8,000,000,000 feet of timber worth upwards of $150,000,000 blown down by the gale that swept the north Pacific const Jan. 29, National and State foresters are eu route to the Olympic peninsula today to Join Governor L.
