THREE DIsAPPOINTMENTS.
Dividends on Railway Stock Tenn
pornriIy Influence the Market.

New York. Dee.- 2i.-Three distinct dis
appointments awaited the ordinary specu-
lators In stocks today, or rather they
proved to be in store for ill-informed oper-
ators and those who have been misled by
the reports foated upon the buoyant stock
market of the time. These were the divi-
dends which were directed upon Atchison
preferred, Southern Railway preferred
and New York Central.
In each of these cases. and particularly
in the first two named incorrect and
wholly unfounded rumors as TO the
amount of the dividend have been circu-
lated When these rumors were finally
corrected by the actual announcement Of
the various boards of directors this morn
ing the stocks directly concerned reflected
the disappointment in sharp reactions, and
the declines there served for a time to
unsettle the general market.
In the instance of the Southern Rail-
way dividend. which was declared late
yesterday afternoon. ii is commonly be-
| lieved that the stockholders will not here
after have TO be content with only an an
nual dividend, and that with the new fiscal
year the stockholders will certainly re-
ceive sem-annual dividends equal TO those
now GisDuIStu yedllS.
In the main however, and aside from
the noted movement. the stock market
was very active and generally strong. In-
terest was remarkably well distributed
throughout the general market, the stand
ard issues. the lower priced stocks and
the industrial shares all receiving note
worthy degree of attention. There was
no change in the general outside situation
upon which the current market and spec
ulative sentiment are based.
Money continued In ample supply and
yesterdays speculative maneuyering in
| that market was not repeated.
| In the railway statements reported the
| New York Central for the current quarter
and the Southern Railway for the month
| of November made the best showings.
| There were a number of notable advances
| made in the days market. In the railway
| list the sharpest advances We're in the
| Union Pacifics, Baltimore and Ohio South
eastern and Chicago and Alton. Nothing
definite that was novel attended the move
ments in any OF these stocks.
The granger shares were also strong and
active. For the reason noted, Southern
| Railways were weak and Louisville and
| Nashville was comparatively heavy, be-
cause, perhaps, of apprehensions that the
more sanguine expectations as to the div
| idend in that instance might also not be
realized.
Trading in industiials was exceedingly
active. There were sharp advances in the

though considerably mystified, at what is
seemingly an entirely uncailed for rise.
The stock pays something like 5 per cent
at the present price and it seems certain
that nobody is buying for investment.
There is little of the stock on the market
ard it seems very likely that the rumors
of possible New York investment for the
road may have caused the picking up of
this floating stock in the chance of there
being some truth In the story.

The remarkable boom in the stock mar
ket continued yesterday. There was per-
sistent bulling of the specialties by the
cliques, and the public. excited by their
advance, bought the entire market with n
general disregard TO values. The public so
far has succeeded in preventing the reac-
ton that nearly all careful critics have
hoped for during the last three or four
weeks, or even longer. 1t is difficult to
predict how much further they will be
successful. 1t is very certain that If no
reaction comes soon there will be such
pyramiding that the consequent slump
when it does arrive will be most disas-
trous.

The general prosperity in nearly all lines
of business, the immense quantity of mon
ey and the difficulty of finding investment
for it. the great earnings, the dividends
which are to be declared next month
larger than for many years before, all
seem to point to much higher prices ulti-
mately, but the advance has been too rap
i'd for health. This kind of market
is such one as makes the public foolish.
1t piles up its paper profits and finally
slump of three or four points wipes out
the result of fifteen points advance.
There has been heavy selling by large
New York interests in the hope of stem
ming the advance, but it has been inef-
fectual until now, except that 1t may have
prevented an even more rapid bulge.
Federal Steel common was the feature
of yesterdays trading. Flower and his
party continued to buy 1t heavily and the
public helped the advance along. The

steady upward movement from that figure

A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
Klondike G Did Fielas.

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader comin ,
to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the Yukon
country, aud this Is the necessity for pro-
viding an adequate and proper food sup
ply. Whether procured in the States, in
the Dominion, or at the supply stores
here or further on this must be his prim.
ary concern. Upon the manner in
which the miner has observed or neg
lected this precaution more than pom
any other one thing WIFI his success or
failure depend.
These supplies must be bealthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention iu the selection of foods
that will keep unimpaired indefinitely
under all the conditions which they will
have to encounter is i'm perative For in.
stance, as bread raised with baking DOW
der must be relied upon for the chief
part OF every meal. imagine the helpless
ness of a miner with can of spoiled
baking powder. Buy only the very best
-four; 1t is the cheapest 10 the end. Ex,
perience has shown the Royal BAKING
Powder to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly supply
this brand, as Others will not keep in this
climate Be sure that the bacon Is sweet,
sound and thoroughly cured These are
the absolute necessities upon which all
mus. place CHIEF reliance, and can un-
der no circumstances be neglected. They
may, OF course, be supplemented by as
many comforts or delicacies as the pros
Pector may be able TO pack or desire to
paw for.
