The Martin Co. STRENGTH IS SHOWN IN MARKET SOURCE OF IMPROVEMENT IS TRACEABLE TO OPERATIONS TO COVER SHORT CONTRACTS. New York, Feb. 8.-The source of the strength in the stock market to day was traceable apparently to op eratlons to cover short contracts put out last week. The movement was distinguished by a subsidence of the special advances in individual stocks. On the other hand, the general list came in for more active buying de mand today. The prospect of action by the California legislature on the question of Japanese children in the public schools in opposition to the ad vice of the national executive was reported more likely than at the close of last week. The considerable strength of stocks on Saturday on ac count of this factor evidently was for the aooount of the professional bears and their demand to cover today did not meet any large liquidation from the same cause. The market was lethargic for the most part and the price movement was affected during a few brief periods of activity. The neglect of the market is its most conspicuous feature at present. The fact of the absence from Wall street of some of the most conspicuous figures in the financial world plays a part in this. It is suspected also that some effect of the repression is due to the pend ing operations of Governor Hughes' commission which has now arrived at a consideration of the stock ex change after having traversed the field of the commercial exchanges. Railroad traffic officials bear out the testimony of other authorities as to halting tendency of merchandise, the movement, according to their evi dence, having fallen off considerably from the December level. The week's traffic statistics showed a notable de cline in the grain movement. Theb formulation of the demands to be made by the anthracite miners in the convention of the United Mine Work ers outlined the nature of the nego tlations that must be gone through to arrive at an agreement for the coming April. The coalers shared in the gen eral firmness of the market. Total sale of bonds, par value, $5,942,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call New York Closing Stocks.

'h~"JIM SUNDAY EULOGISES CLARKSON NOTED EVANGELIST TELLS OF CHARACTER OF THE GREAT BASEBALL PLAYER. "Sqo old John Clarkson is dead? Well, well, another old pal gone. But John is better off so, as his former .ondition was worse than death." So spoke Evangelist "Billy" Sunday yesterday afternoon when his atten tion was called to the dispatch from Waltham, Mass., in Friday morning's Spokesman Review, telling of the death of the once great pitcher in a sanitarium. Clarkson was several years ago taken to the sanitarium, hopelessly insane. "John was a mighty good fellow and a credit to baseball. He was one of your clean-cut, neat, smoothly trimmed chaps, a gentleman from training and instinct. A typical ath lete, he never lost his own self-re lrpect nor permitted anybody else to lose respect for him. He took such ex c.llent care of himself that he was perhaps a really great pitcher longer than any other star twirler the gam" has ever known, and I do not exempt Cy Young and Kid Nichols from con sideration, although they were iden tilled with the game for a longer period. Young and Nichols were never the surpassingly great pitchers that Clarkson was. "There has been only .ne other man like (Clarkson, and that is Mathew son, and it is 'air io col'lmpare th',se two as the greatest of their class, andlll much of the same sort of fellows, personally. ''W hli' John was ntm a fellow to lutke' many friends, ilti:l Ii wan al ways ia pleasant com n-ll[ol, awl I t(' l d great pleasure in be ng with hint. I think that C(larkson, 1i.or than any other one man, w to my ideal when I broke Into the game., for it madr Ia profohnd imprns.tion on me that this fellow co,lid a.ssocrtat vwith ,ouIth nt. n on the fi.dTl, i lay aftir day. and still he clean and tntlry. "I was with Jlotr ths nlght I was converted, und I 'hall neve'r forget the kindly manner in whi:h he spoke to me the next da'. assuring toe thit if its ctuld d. t'ylhing to I heip iree he would, and iruing me to stick to it."-Spokesman- t'vi \,w.

In an open letter he wants to know what Mr. Oak ever did to gain faelll or notoriety, roastsR the grap plers who were sacrificed at the gar den last week, that Siegfried might make at showing on his first public appearance here and actttally offers to give the "Oak" all the money if he ean defeat Rogers. Ite says In part: "For goodness sanks, what Is Selg fried champllon of? He has tried in almost every tournalment that has been given iln Paris and has never finished In third money even. He may look pretty to his German friends; lie does look well in tights, but let him prove his abllty as a wrestler. Rogers will wrestle Seig fried at his favorite style and will atgr'ee to make it all to the winner, showing that lie is not looking for any loser's end, and he will bet him whatever amount he wants to risk at the prevailing odds on the night of the entest."
