The Federal Steels were both strong this
morning although they went off somewhat
with the general market in the first hour
1t was thought that the common stock
might react two or three points if the
general recession should last all day, but
on the other hand the heavy buying OF
both the common and the preferred by the
Flower crowd made many shrewd traders
suspect that there would be not more than
a small decline The Federal Steel stocks
are regarded by many as among the most
certain to have quick and large advances
in the near future. Mr.. Flower has given
his word on more than one occasion that
these stocks are to see much higher prices,
and there is everything in the prosperity
of the company, at present, and in pros
pect to warrant the belief that he is right.
Traders today favored the preferred for
the reason that the common has already
had a big advance in the last week.

The stock market this morning was a

The stock market this morning was
trife reactionary in its opening. as Rad
been expected after the advances for the
last four days. There was nothing star ling
in the declines in prices, and people who
are margined respectfully were, in fact,
pleased at the temporary halt in what was
becoming almost a rout. Temporary set
backs will have the effect OF teaching eau
tion and will in this way strengthen the
market The stocks which have had the
most violent rises in the past week were
the most reeted by the recession, but
even they did not give way badly in the
early part Of the day. Later further reGc-
ton may come, possibly. The stand of
Wall Street with regard to the industrial
stocks is lending confidence of new kind
to the market Some houses will not buy
the more active OF these stocks except out
right. and all demand good margins. AS
a matter OF fact, this makes the position
of the industrials themselves much more
secure.

cred TO be most unfavorable TO the Elevat-

that the weakness will be only temporary.

on it than on any one other stock per-

The announcement of the death the LIST
instant of Oscar F. Dana at his home at
Falmouth. Me-. has deeply affected those
who, for so many years. had been associ-
ated with him in the law division of the
internal revenue bureau. His services for
more than thirty years in this bureau first
as clerk and then as chief of the law d.
vision, were of the highest value, and were
so recognized, not only by the department
put by persons in all parts of the United
states whose business directly con-
nected with the internal revenue laws
His long experience in this bureau, his
thorough acquaintance with the internal
revenue laws and regula lions, his calm and
wise judgment, and great capacity for work
made him conspicuous figure in the depart
ment, and those qualities combined with
the gentleness and kindness of his nature,
enabled him to supervise and conduct the
business of his office without friction, and
won for him the high esteem and affection
ate regard of those of us Immediately con-
nected with him in official life
When he severed his connection with the
department the hearts of his associates
went with him to his distant home and re-
manned with him to the end.
Mr. Upper spoke with deep feeling of
his long. years of friendship and official
association with Mr.. Dana, and of his per-
sonal loss at his departure. Judge Thomas,
the solicitor of internal revenue, spoke for
himself, as well as for those present, in
expressing the great sorrow that all felt
when Mr.. Dana resigned his position, and,
upon his motion. copy of the resolutions
