NBW YORK, Feb. 1.-nuslness at the stack exchange had proceeded not more tliiin ten minutes today when It became manifest to the brokers on the door that no Important volume of Inlying orders was present at the reOOVI red price level. An nimost lmnifdhite reaction followed. 1 hen i-n mo a pause nf dull denlltiKs and hesitation ti> perceive whrthor the bonk ing Interests which supported the mnr krt yesterday were disposed to resume their Iniyinß to prevent a renewed de cline. No mich elTorts wrro discovered. The nuirketliiß of RtnckH wna thereupon rsnmrd and tho .supply strramnl Steadily Into the market for tho rrst of the. day, Tho boar operators foupht at occasional stages of the decline to cover short con tracts. These operations caused a few checks to tho decline nnd rallies of vary ing force, tho most Important in the final hour. Speculative holders of stocks wore forced to tho conclusion that the best JiuiKtnont Was ■ acquiescent In the read justment going on as a necessary process to bring about a basis for securities from which appenl enn br made mioepssfully to capital to come In again for invest ment. The loss fn cash by the bnnks Indi cated by the known movements of money for the week is due to government opera tions. Including a payment of a Central Pacific note <lue to the government on February 1. and the withdrawal of gov ernment deposits from the banks, on the rejrulnr express movement with the Interior the banks hnve gained, but tho indicated net loss Is less than *2.000.fKX). Intimations from Washington conveyed the impression that the treasury's offer for redemption of Slo.OfKl.noo of I'nited States 4s of 1907. made in December, was still open nan been taken advantage of nt that time to only n small extent. The engagement of half n million dol lars in gold In London today for import showed that exchnnge In Rt a profitable level for such an operation nnd next Monday's Kold nrrlvals in l^ondon nre expected to yield nn additional sum for New York account. The condition of the locnl money market Is of less account to the speculative outlook, it Is believed, than the question of a demand abroad for Americnn company Issues. Rumors were current today of further intended note Issues. It was denied that any such wire Imminent, but It was not drilled that favorable conditions In the securities market would Imply additional offerings of such notes. The special weakness nf American Smelting and Pennsylvania was connected with such rumors. The late rally was not followed by resumption of Important polling, but the closing tone was barely steady. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par vnlne. $1,740,000. United States bonds were unchanged n call. New York Stocks By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Feb.

J . dressed In man* clothing, has been putting 1 a new root on her house. She donned trousers, coat and vent, climbed up a ladder to the roof with the skill of a man nnd commenced to work. Neighbors stood around and gasped. Sirs. McCullough apparently didn't care a rap what they thought. She wanted the roof, didn't have any man around to do the Job, so did it herself. Sho tened a rope about her waist and tied it to a chimney so in case she. (should slip she would not drop further than the gutter on the roof. Mrs, McCUllOUgh la a carpet weaver by trade and conducted her business lor many years, operating the heavy machine unaided. The job of putting on a new roof did not seem hazardous i,, ii.i-, but she did not like the idea of going up there on a windy day wear lngI Ing skirts. She has about completed the work without hitting her Angara lnstead of the nail more than a dozen times.
