1t Is said that large amounts OF stock
held as collateral against loans have
lately been taken over privately. IN
that way they have been prevented from
coming on the market.
An officer of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company says: 1T Is too early
TO say much about the next dividend Of
the Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany. The full board of directors viii
have to decide in the matter next win
ter. Past earnings and the present
promise for the future would certainly
warrant the company in following the
example Of the Erie and declaring an in
creased rate Of dividend. The road is
at present supplied with all the funds
required in the near future.
1t is stated that within the last two
days the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has paid of more than $50. GOO. 900
of the loans which it contracted six
months ago. By these payments the rail-
road company Hquidates the last OF its
loans, the total amount of which was
s4o,OO0,OO0- The money to pay the loans
was obtained through the subscription
Of the company's stockholders to the
s75, 600, 900 of new capital stock.
Speaking of the general situation,
Isaac N. Seligman, of ). q w. Seligman
& Co, says: The recent severe Iiqui-
dation has impaired feeling of safety
and security not only among the care
Z 81
dent and sensible public Conditions
which brought about the liquidation did
not result from any ar of tight money
but simply from overspeculation. The
feeling of hopelessness that prevailed
until few days ago has been dispelled
and investment orders for high-class
securities have come from strong par
ties. Fully so. 900. 900 to $4,000. goo of
European capital has been sent here
for investment within the last week.
The ruling rates for long time money
indicate. in my judgment. that a money
stringency in the fall is most improb-
able. II is hardly likely that We will
increase our indebtedness to Europe
this year. l can say definitely by way
of assurance that. in case there should
be any squeeze during the next two
months, the Treasury Department will
offer prompt relief to legitimate fnan-
cial inter ests.'
The two-dollar broker Of Wall Street
does business without any capital to
speak of, buying and selling stocks for
other members for a commission of 81
each 100 shares. II is from this com
mission that he gets the name by
which he IS distinguished from other
brokers. He acts merely as a floor
agent generally. but in cases where his
principal desires for any reason TO re
main unknown, the two-dOllar broker
gives up" nobody, himself assuming
the full responsibility. A broker may,
refuse TO take the name given up by
two-dollar man and require him either
to assume the entire responsibility OF
share it with his principal.

that the most significant and important
feature in the present market is the
buying for the out-and-out investor, in

continued buying of this kind by people
who are never in the market in a specu-

all parts of the country, with foreign
investment buying also in evidence
this despite some speculative selling for

OBITUARY.

On Thursday, Jan, ~, 1908, at
one O'Clock the angel Of death entered
the home of MIR and Mrs. David
Rudy, and took from them little
Myrtle Augusta, aged two months and
% days. She died OF infantic con
vulsions. She was taken from her
home Mt No. Gji9 Manchester avenue,
st, Louis, to the family burying
ground near Chestnut Ridge.
Little Myrtle was beautiful and
promising babe, but the tender bud
was transplanted from this world to
the home above, there to bloom in
immortal glory. Christ has said
"Suffcr little children to come unto
Me, for such is the Kingdom of llcav-
cn" The family have the sympathy
of many friends and relatives.
I'VE had little treasure once,
She was our Joy and pride,
We loved her, An! perhaps too we'll,
For soon she slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts to-day,
For the one We loved so dearly
Has forever passed away"
