List of Corporations in County.

A1SL O1
 The chief clerk of the Probate Court, John Chisholm, and the deputy clerk, Miss Blanche Barnes. have at the request of the Secretary of State made list of the corporations in the county. which are 131 in number.
 The incorporated institutions of Dallas County present a variety that is sufficient to satiate any one in search of the spice of life. In name, in amount of capital and in purpose they are widely different.
 The churches are perhaps the most numerous and next are the real estate and development companies of which there Is a large number. There are many aid and benevolent societies, secert and unsecret, including such organizations as the Elks and other large fraternfties with the Rising Brothers and Sisters. with Stars of various magnitudes, and burial societies. And it would surprise some to learn that there are at least a dozen organizations to promote and aid matri- mony. The purpose of one of these is declared to be Ito fraternally promote matrimony'' and of another ito promote matrimony between suitable persons, male and female"
 There is likewise such difference in capi- tai. the stock ranging from a few thou sands to million for which last the Ala bama Mineral and Land Company has credit.

HEAVY PRESSURE To SELL
TAKING OF PROFITS BREAKS PRICES
IN THE SHARE MARKET.
A Few Special Stocks Advance in
Spite of the Adverse Conditions
Foreign Exchange Is Stronger.

NEW YORK, Jan. THE stock market
to-day had a reaction which had been
looked for for many days by the profession
al element The ground of the expectation
was that since the middle OF December
fully half of the previous violent decline
which had extended irregularly over six
weeks had been recovered. This recovery
has been practically uninterrupted, which
is unusual in such a short and violent
movement. There was no material change
in conditions affecting values since yester-
day, when the market was buoyant and
animated up to the very close. but the
heavy buying which has been going on
meant a large increase in the number of
holders waiting to take profits. The offer
ings of this class overcame the market to-
day and carried prices to a lower level.
The disturbance to foreign sentiment by
the Dardanelles protest by Great Britain
was reflected in internationals at the open
ing. The selling for London account was
heavy. Estimates of it's volume vary con-
siderably, some of them running as high as
$1,000 shares. This first pressure on the
market was strongly resisted, and pretty
general recoveries were effected within
few minutes, but realizing sales continued
large at the rally and the market gave way
again. Some subsequent efforts were made
to revive the market by bidding up indi-
vidual stocks, but selling was renewed on
all advances and the close was weak and
about the lowest A late break in ST. Paul
to below 1s1 was an effective influence on
sentiment.
In the early dealings support was con-
SniCllOuS n
GLIDING Manhattan, and in Rock Island.
The statement of the yearly net earnings
Of United States Steel induced some large
buying. but the stock suffered equally with
others In the realizing movement. The off,
cial statement that the rumors of a
coming dividend on Tennessee Coal were
unwarranted had an unfavorable effect on
the iron group. The declaration in Gov
ernor Odell's message in criticism Of the
franchise tax had some favorable effect
on the stocks of corporations affected The
advance in Sugar was accompanied by
rumors OF proposed dividend increase, and
this stock was supported to help sustain
the rest of the market. There were wide
movements in some Of the less active
stocks.
The selling was attributed to a shifting
of loans, but the call loan rate did not get
as high as per cent. at any time, and in
creasing liberality was shown by lenders in
the matter of collateral The money mar
ket continued to gain from the subtreasury,
which had another payment of $25OO00 to-
day by transfer from San Francisco. The
downward course of discounts was arrested
and sterling exchange was slightly higher.
The bond market became irregular in
sympathy with stocks. Total sales at par
value were S3.6Sa,OOO United States bonds
were unchanged on the last call.
Following are the days share sales and
the recorded price CHANGES:
