The situation in the market yesterday
developed no new features. There was
no buying and only Il little covering. On
the other hand, there was closing out
over Sunday with its immense possibili-
ties of trouble, and there was some SELL
ing short, by people that realize the i'm
possibility of any other ending to the
Maine incident than the proof of Spain's s
infamous treachery and the demand on
the part of the people for war.
The drop was not important. and not
much was expected by people who
realize the situation. The market was
dull, however The total amount of sales
for the day was only 5000 shares.
The week holds out no hopes for the
bulls. 1t would seem the best of advice
to suggest selling and continuing to sell
ior long time TO come. AS 10 the extent
of the drop it is needless to predict 1t
might very reasonably be ten points, and
there is almost as much reason why 1t
should be twenty.
Allowing for the argument that the Ad-
ministration may squeeze through this
situation without war, there is in any
event the great cry OF rage that would
go up from the whole country. The
stock market has not she bloodlessness
to withstand this if the Administration
has. and there would be a magnificent
slump at any rate. But no such thing is
among the human possibilities The Ad-
ministration has reached the conclusion
that war is inevitable. II is charitable to
suppose that the Administration sees the
fitness of war, and the bi;terest OF pun

This could be delivered, ready for use, at
from 81 to sl-5O per ton, depending on
the location Of the factory. In the valley
oe the Arkansas are also found large de.
posits OF much the same quality and the
cost would be but little greater. All
along the Grand river any quantity OF
the finest limestone can be obtained
within distances so near that it could be
hspled by team.
The question Of the water supply
would be one OF the most serious ques-
toes and would go far toward determin-
ine the exact location OF any factory
thot may come to the state. In north

an4 Longmont are both supplied with

% wells and but few Of the wells now in

could be used for a sugar factory. All
factories in the valley would have to de-
pend on wells. Fortunately there are
At East two places. Rocky Ford and La

"a factory could be placed almost
anywhere in the valley Of the Grand

The valleys Of the Platte and the Ar
