There was marked difference between
the opening of the stock market week yes
terday and that of Monday week age
Prices tended downward all day in nearly
every part of the list. Business was very
dull and confined almost exclusively to
small liquidation by the public and small
short selling by the professionals. the buy
ers apparently being the larger interests
that can afford to wait for the advance
that they &c not believe is far of. A week
ago. 1t will be remembered. there was a
big boom Of prices from a high opening
level and a big block of transactions. So
much for the surface market fluctuations,
for the fortunes Of the small people AS
far as the actual merit OF securities Is
concerned, and as far as the ultimate ten
dency OF prices will be affected, yester-
days business was no more unsatisfactory
than that of week ago. Even there are
some people that believe hesitating mar
ket at this time is better for the future
than continued boom by little people
would be.
There is little il any selling by large in
terests. There is buying rather. There is
nothing TO indicate that sharp decline is
10 come today or any day this week. The
fluctuations at present are worked by the
professionals. who. as usual. do not wish
the public to make any money. and are
trying to milk this same public in the
usual manner. When the public has sold
out in anticipation Of decline. the ad-
vance will begin again. Some people be-
liere that the lowest prices Of tie slight
reaction were reached yesterday and that
the upward rAovement Will begin some
time today. Several points may be gained
Later, week from now, there is likely
to be another decline. but neither will this
be matter of large Importance to impor-
tant people. 1t will b. the natural result
OF the liquidation of the professionals on
this weeks advance. II will offer the buy
ers Of stocks for keeps another chance.
The weakest stocks yesterday were Pa
cifc Mail, the steel and iron securities,
and Sugar. Northern Pacific was the only
one that made any advance of importance
In both cases the movements may be at
tributed solely to manipulation with safe
~. Northern Pacific common stock is not
a more promising investment than any
other at this time. Some regard IL as less
likely to advance than almost any other
stock on the list The steel stocks are
certainly not being sold by investment
holders. They are not by any means the
worst gamble on the list at their present

should not sell very much lower than at
present ard II Mr.. Mckinley becomes
President they will very surely have big
boom. because the danger of executive ac-
tion against the trusts will be removed

MAIL FOR CAPE NOME DISTRICT,
The Department to Establish an En-
tirely New and Shorter Route.

NEW YORK, Mar. "A special to
the Morning Tribune from Washington
SAYS:
The post Office department IS about
to attempt the establishment OF an
entirely new and shorter mail route
which is planned for Alaska and which
Will employ dog sledges going over
land from Katmai. about 600 miles
from Sitka, 10 cape Nome by way OF
Hushagak, through practically uneN-
plored territory The distance will be
shortened By this course 100 or 1900
miles. but unforeseen obstacles may be
met which win make the time about
the same as the roundabout steamer
tracks through Behring sea and along
the coast.
Special messengers have been select
ed. one Of whom was formerly trader
in Alaska. and on March 10 they will
start from Katmai across country to
Cape Nome with 400 pounds of mail
as an experimental trip and to find
out il the route planned can be regu-
larly operated with success.
It is expected that the messengers
win arrive at Cape Nome by the mid
die Of May, and after delivering their
mail win return as son as possible with
reports for the post Office officials. If
the trial is favorably reported and it
is found practicable to build post
road, work will be begun in the coming
summer so that permanent service may
be established before next winter sets
in
Lodge houses or shelters will be put
up along the line at intervals of from
IS 10 100 miles. and men are to be sta
toned at each lodge for relays. This
plan will not only protect the mail car
riers, but will insure more rapid serv-
ice and prevent delays Of nearly week
waiting for a carrier 10 recover from a
frozen face or hands.
The post office department expects,
with the completion of such a road, to
give the westernmost inhabitants on
the continent three Or four mails each
month in the year.
