week has been one in harmony with the
advance, and that it showed no indication
that the boom is over, permanently, or
even for a time. New securities have
been taken up by the cliques and some
that have been the favoTites before have
been neglected. but the closing quotations
yesterday for the most part show gains.
and in some cases large ones over the
close of week ago. The break that
occurred was similar to those of preced-
ing weeks, from point or more to five
points in the active issues. II was en-
tirely due to technical conditions and un-
doubtedly has left the market in bet
ter position than before il occurred. 1t
is these small reactions that have taken
place from time to time. owing to profit
taking and short selling that have made
the tremendous advance possible.
And so with the business situation en-
tireiy satisfactory and with the tremen-
dous developments in the railway and
industrial world that have taken place
recently and are still in the process of
fulfillmcnt, the outlook is still a NEST
hopeful one for the market. The im7or
tant people quite certainly take this view
OF the situation and are buying stocks,
either for investment or for the purpose
of selling them to the public at a CHER
level, which, perhaps, does not matter
much. for the present at least. Some of
the most conservative of the brokers and
market critics advise buying stocks on all
the reactions.

shrewd investors who undoubtedly know
more of the prospects of the company than
the people that are selling the stock The
company last year earned between Is and
10 per cent, and so far this year it has
been running ahead of last years record.
This means much when the talk of big
cuts in the dividend is to be considered
seriously. The policy of the company in
the past has been always to pay out its
earnings to its stockholders. 1t has been
company run for the stockholders as
much as, if not more than, any of the
other great Industrial concerns. 1t has
given the stockholders big dividends al
ways, and it has given them stock divi-
dends in Il remarkable way. II has paid
for its increases in plant and its improve
ments, and its purchase Of new patents
out of the earnings Of the company IN
stead of expecting the stockholders to buy
bonds or put up money in any other way.
This record is not one to cause distrust
or make careful stockholders anxious to
sell out. 1t is not one to suggest that the
company viii be parsimonious in the fu-
ture The statement is made By 49, -:
doubted authority that the Mergenthaler
has a low-prced machine somewhat SINH
lar to the Monoline, that it will put on
the market If necessary when its basic
patents run out. But many of the most
valuable of the Mergenthaler patents have
long time to run yet.
The advance in Capital Traction has
halted, for a time at least, between 105
and 106 The price is supported around
this level but for some reason does not
seem inclined to go above it. The report
of the company for the year 1900, when
taken in consideration with the good in
crease of business that will undoubtedly
follow the completion of the extensions OF

Marion's shop is but one of our many

now, and the city is beginning to feel
the effects of employed labor and is
taking on new growth. The Two

west of town are running full time
