CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
The times., 1899-09-11

1t has been pointed out in this column
several times recently that the iron and
steel securities are becoming more promi-
nent in the stock market than they were
month or more ago. The extent to which
this is the fact is somewhat forcibly illus
trated in the showing of the leaders in the
number of shares dealt in during the past
week. Three of this group are we'll at the
head in the extent of dealings. The total
transactions of the week aggregated 2,21S,-
857 shares. OF this amount /, 1,156,419 were
furnished by twelve stocks, leaving ,062-
43S as the total of the other 202 properties
in which there were dealings. Here are the

Quite as noticeable is the fact that Ten

and Iron, two of the group, have made the
chief gains in prices during the week, while
Republic Iron and Steel has not declined
With the exception of this group and OF the
New York traction securities declines have
been general as result of the weeks busi-
ness in the leading stocks. In the less ac-
tive securities the Federal Steel, American
Steel and Wire common and preferred

stocks allied with the iron trade have con-
tributed fair share of the business, rath-
er more than the average as whole, and
their variations in price have been more

Matters which have contributed to this
activity of the group are well known. The
iron trade is the one in particular that Is
booming most phenomenally and that is
giving TO the concerns engaged in it big
profits. During the past ten days. as has
been noted in this column heretofore, there
has been an advance of 20 cents a ton in
the price of Southern pig iron and an ad
vance of 81 a ton in Northern pig. The
outlook is rosy in every way. Predictions
are that the trade will boom for months
and years to come and all the facts in the
situation seem to point in this direction
1t is reasonable TO assume, therefore, that
these securities will continue to be active,
and the street in general is most hopeful
that they will be buoyant

He states that the common stock divi-

ever, that some arrangement is likely to
be made by the company to have the COM

financial institution. On the whole, the
situation certainly may be said to be much

OF an Old river channel of large dimensions
which crossed the Western Divide and
formed the outlet of the lake after it
became separated from the ocean, and by
other geologic features. An old drainage
