The market next week will be influenced
by the opening of Congress and the read
ing of the Presidents message. Some
people are inclined to Tie belief that the
coed effect of the message has been dis
counted and that decline of several
points may be expected after it is read.
There are very good reasons for taking
this view. but investors and speculator,
protected with good margins need not be
afraid Of the result, as the advance Is
certain to begin again before many days

The great advances in prices during the
past three months have been pointed cut
in this column heretofore but not every
one speculatively inclined is familiar with
the extent of the gains made during the
past four years. or say since the low
prices of the summer of 1896. which was
the low level of recent years. When

The Chesapeake and Ohio statement is
an excellent one. Its net earnings for the
first four months of the fiscal year were

ly 30 per cent This is the best record in
the history of the line. Chesapeake and
Ohio was buoyant yesterday. selling up to
3S 3-S and closing at the top. AS other
Vanderbilt securities, Big Four, New
York Central and the Union Pacifics were
also strong. some people concluded that
buying by Vanderbilt interests was re-
sponsible. Chesapeake and Ohio, how
ever. deserves to advance on its merits.

1t will be seen that the advance all over
the list has been an average of more than
$50 per cent In some cases 1t has been
much more than this. as for instance. in
Atchison preferred. where II has been an
even 20 points, from Is. or nearly 500 per
cent. The bears, who argue from this,
however. that the top has been reached,
are very near-sighted. They forget that
during the past four years the exports of
the country have been expanding in quite
as remarkable a way as the prices of Sc
curities They forget the difference in
the plenty of money. They forget that
this country has SO much money now that
it is finding 1t profitable TO invest in Eu-
rope, where money for years has been
proverbially cheap. Very likely there
will be a temporary setback in the near
future quite in the usual run of the
market, but it is hardly to be doubted
that the coming winter is to see prices
far higher than any level yet reached.

WALL PAPER COMBINE.
The Pres,dent Of The National Company
FAv0rs u Dissolution OF the Corpora
ti0n and Independent Plants

New York, July 3.-The following
statement was issued last night by
President Henry Burn, of the National
Wall Paper company;
although the company has now
been in existence for eight years, and
has done large business, its profits
have not been commensurate with
the expectations of stockholders, due
to the fact that its existence has to
such an extent stimulated competl-
ton that the number of plants en-
gagged in the manufacture OF wall
paper has in that period doubled. IL
has also been demonstrated that the
manufacture of wall paper involves
elements of so peculiar nature that
II cannot be as successfully conducted
through the medium Of combination
as through independent and isolated
plants. individual taste and the per-
sonality OF the manufacturer play an
important part, which in q combina-
ton consisting of a number of plants
are apt to be overlooked. For these
and other reasons the entire board
Of directors, who themselves con
stitute a majority of the stockholders
and who are acting from a sincere
conviction that they are thereby pro
noting the interests of all concerned
favors a dissolution of the corpora
tlon. A plan is being matured which
will in all probability result in thu
acquisition of the various plants b,
those who were identified with then
prior to their sale to the Nationa
Wall Paper company"

Yesterday of assaulting and partially
disrobing Julia Ray, Il negro domestic

pany car at Tenth and Brooklyn
streets last Friday night. Each was
fined $40 and costs. The cases will be
appealed.
The work of establishing bus lines

ing passengers is progressing me
committee that has the matter in
charge reports that $4,000 has been
raised for that purpose and that ~
vehicles are now regularly running,
It is the intention to divide the city
into districts and establish regular
lines that will give the public ample
service to any portion of the city. An
appeal will be mlde to the public to
assist in establishing these lines.
There is considerable interest
evinced in the decision of the l,50O EN-
ployes Of the ST. Louis Car company
who have been asked to ride on the
cars of the Transit company. The re-
quest was made by President Charles
Kobusch, who explained that unless
the men agreed TO ride on the Transit
ears tho chances were that the com
pany would be compelled to shut down
the plant, which secures its power
from the Transit company. The mat
ter will be left TO vote OF the Ial
Builders and Finishers' unions, te
which the men belong.

Gov. Roosevelt swept across the sun

tween Kansas City and Topeka were
very brief and the governor refralned
from any extended address.
The crowd which greeted Gov
Roosevelt at Wichita broke the record
of his trip, both in point of numbers
and enthusiasm. Probably 10000
people surged about the station eager
for glimpse of the famous rough
rider and not more than a third OF
them could distinguish one word Of
the brief address which he delivered.

New York, June 1.-The losses sus-
tanned in the fire at the docks OF the
North German-Lloyd Steamship COM
pany in Hoboken yesterday were last
night conservatively placed at nearly
S1o,OOOOOO; the loss of life, which is
merely guess work at even this late
hour, will reach probably as high as
200, and there are over 300 men IN
and there are over 800 men in the
the hospitals in this city, Hoboken and
Jersey City badly burned. Up to II
o'clock last night IS bodies had been
recovered. Eleven of these were
placed in a row at the morgue in
this city and numbered, this being
the only means the authorities have
of maintaining any sort OF identity
over the corpses, as they are so bad
" charred and dlsmembered that
Identification will be made only by
trinkets or pieces of clothing that
were found about the bodies. The
only way the steamship officials have
of approximating the loss OF life is
by comparing the list of those re-
ported safe with the list of the EN-
ployes on the steamships.
Late last night Gustave Schwab,
the general agent of the North Ger
man-Lloyd line, gave out list show
ing what men on each vessel had been
missing up to that hour. On the
Saale 255 men were employed and only
1877 of these had been accounted fol
up to II o'clock, leaving IS men ac'

they, with the piers, went to make
up the appalling mass of debris,
smoking, sizzling and steaming 1t
covers over four city blocks and
reaches out into the river for over
1000 feet. Streams of water are be-
ing pumped upon the ruins, and
workmen are poking about for bodies.
This was the scene of the greatest
attraction yesterday and thousands
upon thousands Of people went there.
The streets were iammed Every
trolley car was packed with strug-
Cling humanity; every ferryboat was
crowded to the rails and every tug
that could be brought into private
use had it's quota of people hurry
ing to the scene.
Far off, up the North river at Wee
hawken, a great cloud of smoke rose
and tumbled, at one moment on the
water and the next rising just enough
to show the skeletons of two of the
great ocean liners, the Bremen and
the Main that rose like giant spires
out of the smooth face of the water.
They had both been beached there.
Around them swarmed fleet OF
small boats carrying sightseers,
Far down the river, off Ellis island,
Law the smoking and steaming hulk
of the Saale, almost a total wreck.
The loss of life will probably prove
greatest when the wreck of the Saale
has been searched. Already a num-
Der of bodies have been taken off,
and as soon as the fire in the hold
has subsidized there is every probable
ity that many bodies will be found
below decks.
Various tug boat captains claim to
have seen 80, or 40 persons in one
compartment just before the saale
went down.
OF the 266 persons reported missing
last night, it is believed some will be
found IN sailors boarding houses in
this city, Jersey City and Hoboken.
Women besieged the offices for IN
formation in regard to relatives.
There were about 10 missing re-
ported at the North German-Lloyd
/ Office alone. Fully SO per cent. OF the
sailors are Germans who have no
home and no relatives in this coun-
try. Most of them lived in Ger
many.
The North German officials deny
that any passengers were lost; de-
clare that few, II any, visitors per-
ished, and that the loss of life was
almost entirely among employees OF
the company.
