reported.
THE stock market stood up well under
the bad bank statement and the tendency
to weakness caused by the New York
Illness statement that the Steel dividends
are to be reduced" said a local broker in
support OF bull argument. II wouldn't be
surprised to see decline Monday, but the
majority OF the stocks are a purchase"
The worst feature of the stock market
situation continues to be the absence of
any genuine buying and the highly pro-
fessional character of all the trading" says
a Wall-street wire to Albert r. Thompson

be taken advantage Of TO sell stocks"
The gold imports the past week are not
shown fully in the bank statement. The
bank statement is regarded by local brokers
as bad. showing large losses in specie and
deposits and a small increase in circulation,
but people expected bad statement this
week. The bank statement is said to have
had little effect on the market.

There is gradual hardening of prices
of stocks. The upward trend Is seen in
both the industrials and the railroad list
The outside that Is long on stocks is about
worn out. and any little bulge like the one

The bank statement does not indicate an
easing of money rates for this week.

That the stock market continues to show
improvement and that stronger tone may
be looked for this week, with probable
slight declines. seems to be the prevailing
opinion among local brokers Most of the
talk here inclines to the bullish side.

Meyer & Kiser have it from New York
that the railroad issues are expected to go

Most OF the selling OF stocks yesterday
was caused by the New York Timess
statement that the United States Steel Cor

idends to per cent, and the dividends
on the preferred to 4 or per cent. This
news caused the Steel issues 10 slump about
one point
The Steel issues are expected to open
weak tomorrow on the selling of yester-
day.
1.-The United States Steel Corporation has
been paying too large dividends" said a
well-known Indianapolis stock broker.
There never should have been paid any
dividends on the common, but this stock
never could have been fioated il dividends
had not been promised. If the preferred
dividend Is reduced TO per cent.-it Is 7

Perhaps no one in the country is do- ing SO much to bring this great North country to the attention of the people than is E. T. Botsiord, president of the Ladue Company, which is the principal owner of the townsite of Dawson. Mir. Botsford is in Skagway at the present time, guest of the Fifth Avenue, on his way to Dawson.
 Mir. Botsiord spends his summers in Dawson, but most of his winters he spends in the East, where he lectures on Alaska and the Yukon, as we'll as caring for the business of his company.
 Last winter Mir. Botsford offered a nugget pin to the pupil of the New York state normal school, who would write the best essay on Alaska and the Klondike. The pin was won by Miss Lois McDowell. Miss Ethel Angell, whose essay was given second place, did SO we'll that Mir. Botsiord gave her a duplicate pin. The essay of Miss Me Dowell was published in the Platts- burgh Republican.
 Mir. Botsford will leave this morning or the interior.
