IndustrinIs Lead Decline.

Some of the big operators seem to have
been trying to curb this speculative spirit,
not from any philanthropic motive, but
simply because IL threatened to interfere
with their plans and carry the market be-
yond their control The outlook for gold eN-
ports and rumors OF "A Federal Steel bond
issue gave the market setback. the In
dustrials leading the decline. Very Consid-
erable liquidation followed and the short in
terest was increased to an extent that may
strengthen the market later on. The i'm
mediate future Of the market, however, Is
very Uncertain and can only advise
caution until the situation is clarified.
The great election boom has now run ten
weeks without break or important inter-
ruption. 1t has been no mere clique move
ment-no scheme of a few combined pro-
fessional operators. From the beginning II
has received Its support from a large in
vestment demand and from the specula tive
class, great and small In all the domestic
Centers, acting simultaneously but for the
most part Independently of each other The
movement received it's impulse from GER
tain concurrent factors of extraordinary
probation of which was not confined to this
country but has equally awakened an un-
preCedented speculation in American rail-
roads on the markets of London and Berlin.
Ii is not surprising that such an unusual
aggregation OF speculative forces, acting to-
gether and on the same impulse, should de-
velop such a movement we have wit
messed. nor that the boom should exhibit
such extraordinary force and persistency.
The special feature of the movement has
been, until recently, the almost total abb
sence of the bear" element. On both
sides of the Atlantic all have been pulling

In judging of the future course of the
market II is important to take at It's proper
value this element in the wholly extraordi-
nary rise in prices. The question is-has
the advance in prices been attended by an
equal rise in intrinsic values? 1t may be
safely assumed that, so far as prices have
been put up through the pure force of ex-
traordinary and unopposed demand, to that
extent the rise stands exposed TO reaction
There is no rule, however, from which we
may Judge as to when or under what set
of circumstances the reaction may be eN-
pected to appear. All other things being
equal the persistence OF any imitation will
be proportioned to the persistence of the
uniform order of confidence which forced
the advance. So far there has been no
broad or serious abatement of the hitherto
almost uniformly sangune feeling, nor has
the money market interposed any obstacle
to the carrying of stocks. Conservative
holders keep up "A steady stream OF realiz
ing, but the sanguine class are still largely
I'm the ascendant; 1t cannot be said, how
ever, that they include as many of the
really strong and sagacious operators as
heretofore. Steadily more and more the
market is getting into a state I'm which Its
supporting resource consists largely of the
outstanding profits of holders and II re-
mains to be seen what that sort of staying
powers amounts to.

STEEL STRIKERS CHEERED o
BY FURTHER ACCESSIONS

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 1T.-There was
great joy mt union headquarters to-day
over reports from Joliet of the COM
plete tie-up there this morning of the
steel trust plants and encouraging
news from other strike centers.
The employees of the steel corpora
ton ut Milwaukee will vote again to-
morrow on the question of obeying the
strike order, and it is expected that,
Influenced by the action of the Anal
gamated men at Joliet, they will go
out.
The last mill of the tube company at
McKeesport was forced to close down
to-day.
Notwithstanding the gains made by
the union forces, managers of the steel
corporation declare confidently that
the tide will soon turn in their favor
and n general rush back to work will
take place.
THE spread of the strike. said
President Shaffer to night, ''has not
expectations. BY this l do not mean
that l am disappointed by the way the
men have come out, but am certain
that more will come out in short
time. All those who are out are going
to stay out, too. There Is no reason
for believing that the men in McKees-
port will break away from their pres
ent position, in spite of the stories to
the contrary. Other mills will be
closed before many days, and the
spread of the strike will go on with the
same regularity that has characterized

A 4-mill levy on that sum, will yield
an increased revenue for next year of

Speaking of how the board Of asses
sors did their work, Assessor Link
said:
"The corporations, with the exception
of few small companies. refused to
furnish data or information Of any
kind or nature whatsoever to guide the
board of assessors in placing their val
ues on corporation property, so the
board completed their assessments
from best information obtainable. In
fixing the values the board considered
the values of tangible property owned
by the several corporations such as
rolling stock. improvements, trackbed,
etc. and also the market value of
bonds and stock and the value of spe-
cial privileges and franchises"
This year four express companies,
Wells-Fargo, Adams, United States
and Pacific, which have never before
paid taxes in Colorado on their fran
chises, will contribute to the exchequer
the levy on $1,5OO,OOO. which the board
includes in its assessment returns. A
new railroad was added to the regular
list, being the Rio Grande X Pagosa
Springs. which is assessed at sos. 900.
The following telephone companies,
which have not been assessed were
caught by the assessors: Greeley Inde-
pendent Telephone Company, $1,000;
Buena Vista Telephone Company, 49,

of the company was S500,0OO. divided

For some time Colonel S. b. Dick of

as millionaire, has wanted to build
to Eldora. II. II. Mann, ANOTHER inter

extending the road to Eldora. When
he returned to Pennsylvania lie and
