Unfavorable Rumors Caused Depres-

ST. PAUL WEAKENED, BUT RALLIED
Successful Bear Attack on the
Traction Group.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS


Special dispatch to The Evening star
NEW YORK. January 17.-The realizing
and miscellaneous selling which was N
progress at the close of yesterdays bust
ness resulted in an irregular opening in to-
days stock market London's early prices
showed a general tendency toward conces-
sions but sentiment at that center was not
wholly adverse to improvement. Any firm
ness in the New York market would In all
probability find London In sympathetic
mood.
The local situation was overshadowed by
the weakness in Federal Steel. and the con-
fusing outlook for the securities of this
property. Rumors of a bond issue are gem
orally credited, but the amount and object
of 1t are in doubt The building of a large
structural steel plant was said to be In con-
temptation. and the bonds were to be utll-
lied for that purpose. The amount of the
issue varied from $40 900 to s17,Oo0,OOo.
Another rumor arranged for the absorb
Ing of the Tennessee Coal and Iron plant as
a nucleus of an enterprise to compete with
the Carnegie property. Federal Steel and
Tennessee Coal rallied under the influence
OF the latter story and some credence was
given 1T In consequence. In view of the
fact that a per cent dividend has just
been declared on the common stock, the
cteti management InuSL nave d
plausible reason at hand to explain an i'm
mediate bond issue. Chicago and the To-
cal followers of the speculative clique at
that center were said to have covered on
the early break In prices.
Erie issues were sold for time as the
result of postponement in the date of the
dividend action on the first preferred
stock. The buying at the decline was good
and there is no aba tement of confidence as
to the early rehabilitation of this property
The official announcement OF a hitch in
the st. Paul deal was made the occasion
of some professional selling but an attempt
to buy the stock back during the early
afternoon forced a sharp recovery This
advance was followed by a sympathetic
gain in all parts of the list
The MCKEE Plate directors declared a :
per cent annual dividend on the first pre-
ferred stock and per cent on the second
The proposition to refund the company's
bonds and to retire one of the stock issues
was not considered
The improving chances for the subsidy
bill helped Southern Pacific. as did also
rumors of an early dividend on that stock
The buying was in large amounts and was
effective for a time. The enormous capital
makes 1t necessary to take round amounts
in order to make any impression on the
price of the stock
Weakness in the Traction shares de-
ve.oped during the last hour and new SELL
ing began in all parts of The list. The
bear party is gaining courage. and a con-
siderable short interest is already estab-
lished.
Money easy under 3 per cent and
there is nothing but the temporary inaction
of the big men to explain the weakness.

Mr.. Franklin Simmons. who designed and
modelled the statue, had conference with
Col Bingham. the engineer officer in charge
of public buildings and grounds at the war
Department yesterday afternoon in regard
to the arrangements for the formal transfer
of the statue to the government and Its
dedication.
The time for the completion of the con-
tract. which expired the 4th ultimo, will
be extended by permission of the Secretary
of War, to cover the necessary delays
which have been encountered IN the trans
portation of the statue from Rome.
Although the statue will shortly be in
readiness, no definite arrangements can be
made for its unwilling until Congress shall
make the necessary provisions for that
event.
A small appropriation will be necessary
for the erection of stands and other Incl
dental expenses connected with the Cere-
monies which usually characterize such af-
fairs. Congress will also be asked to fix a
date for the dedication of the statue, and
until that is done. the efforts of me author
tiles will be directed to placing the statue
in position. and perfecting the preliminary
arrangements.

BAD OUTLOOK FOR SPAIN.
Senior Mar1aIl Writes ScathfnE Cr1ti-
cism of the Government.

MADRID. January 1.-THE Liberal to-
day publishes vigorous indictment of the
present regime written by Senior Pi Y Mar
gall the chief OF the republican federal
party. He says that following the closing
of the chambers the nation has become
less hopeful and more fearful regarding the
future. He adds:
THE budget has not been discussed. the
treasury debt is unpaid, we still owe the
bank over a thousand million pesetas, aSri-
cultural wealth has not increased and
fanaticisn. is spreading in consequence of
the support the government has given the
church which is attacking democratic In
situations and the sacred rights of man.
The government constitutes the best friend
of Carism. All dynastic governments are
powerless to break the chain between king
and pope"
In conclusion Senior Pl Margall says it
is futile to expect the slightest improve
ment in the outlook.
