The Improvement in the reserve of the

did not move up much. they presented
iirmer tone all around, and yesterday
pressure against them was lacking. As
soon as the opening buying orders had
been filed however, the professional
bears started in to raid the market again,
and sold Sugar. Tobacco, and Brooklyn

properties yielded to the extent of point.
Then speculation became rather quiet
outside of a few of the prominent stocks.

The stock market this morning was ac-
i've and slIong, with an opening from a
quarter TO a point above the close last night
and a good demand for stocks, largely OF
London origin, however. The first hour
showed strength. with SONS further ad-
vances, but il WAS apparent that the level
would have 10 recede before buyers would
be attracted on this side. Before II o'clock
realizing began in some volume and
prices sagged of again TO about the level
Jf the close last night in most stocks. APP
parently the market is a traders affair
entirely. with a disposition 10 sell stocks
IN every advance and TO buy after some
good reactions. Careful market psople be-
lieve that low priced securities should be
bought at present prices.

advanced to 81, and atchison. preferred, TO
55 and a fraction. One of the items of
gossip in the Street was that Southern
Pacific is likely TO advance in the near
future on inside buying. Atchison, pre-
ferred, also is considered to be good pur-
chase around its present level. The friends
of Northern Pacific, common, insist that the
advance in this stock is not nearly over.

careful observers of the market belie-e
that the stock is likely to advance well in
the next few days. 1t will sell "ex'' divi-

pushing it up just before the dividend. The

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-03-22

a public disaster to have IT invaded by
Fortunately, the monument, already the
finest in the world and soon to be made
much more effective by new features, has
a fairly ample space around ii which is
dedicated TO it forever and can never be
encroached upon, but il is entitled to pro-
lection in its environments also. Such a pic
ture deserves a setting that will at least
not detract from its artistic merit One or
two sky-scrapers on the Circle certainly
would do this, and they are already so
near as to make their nearer approach a
matter for apprehension. 1t is within the
power Of the city government to prohibit
or at least refuse license for the erection
on the Circle of any building exceeding a
certain height, and in order to have dis
tinct understanding on the subject il might
be we'll to do so before the danger becomes
imminent.
These remarks have some bearing on the
selection of a site for the new government
building The Journal believes those persons
are mistaken who think the government
will give any particular consideration to
artistic or esthetic effects in locating it's
building. The government does not engage
in the park business outside of Washing
ton, and most of the public buildings there
are without parks. Some of the largest are
flush with the sidewalks on every side. The
new government building here is to be for
business purposes and in selecting a site
the government is likely to be controlled
by business considerations exclusively. 1t
will not consider the park needs Of the city,
the relation of the new building to the
monument, nor anything else of that kind.
1t is not likely to purchase any more
ground than is absolutely necessary for its
purposes. and If the people want the new
building located in park, where it will be
reasonably safe from invasion by sky-scrap-
ers they will probably have to contribute
the extra ground themselves. Otherwise, the
site selected by the government may be
one that will be surrounded by tall build
ings in a few years. The growth of bust
ness limits would be promoted and the gen.
eral architectural appearance of the city
would be improved If sky-scrapers were pro-
hibited entirely

TONS OF MAIL At SKAGUAY.
Contractors Refuse To Carry Matter
Bearing American Stamps.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. March 21.-The
Call is informed that the frequent failure
OF letters from the United States to reach
the Klondike is largely due 10 the fact that
the contractors who bargained TO carry the
postal matter from Skaguay 10 Dawson re-
fuse to handle any mail which does not
bear the Canadian postage. 1t is alleged
that mail matter from the United States Is
thrown aside when il leaves the steamer
and at the present time II Is said that
twenty tons of mail matter bearing Ameri-
can stamps is piled up in heaps at Skaguay.
WASHINGTON. March 2l.-Regarding the
report from San Francisco of a serious con-
gestion of the mails at Skaguay, II is stated
at the Postoffice Department that the con-
tractor failed to make the December and
January trips overland, and consequently
$500 pounds Of this mail accumulated. The
special postal agent now located al Skaguay
reported to the department about a fort
night ago that the mail was being for
warded rapidly possible by temporary
carriers, whose cost will be charged against
the contractor. IL is explained that there
are about six weeks in the autumn and a
little less than that in the spring when ft
is impossible TO carry mail into that coun-
try. owing to the breaking up Of the ice and
the rushing waters.
