BiE Deal Under Way.

DEADwooD, S. d., Jan. ls.-(speciai)-
T. w. Bradley, president OF the Bunker
Hill-sullivan mine, the most extensive min
ing corporation in the Occur d'Alene coun-
try. has been in the Hills for the last week
and II is rumored that his purpose here is
10 purchase the control OF the Dakota Min
Ing and Milling company, together with the
Interests OF the Portland Mining company.
The deal. should II go through, will be one
OF the biggest that has ever been con
summated In the Black Hills, tor Il will
not only take in the extensive treatment
plants OF the Dakota company in Dead
wood, but will include several hundred
acres OF the most valuable mining ground
on the west slope OF Bald mountain. This
ground has been producing for over a year.
and within It's lines are some OF the richest
mines on the ~silicious ore belt. The plant
OF the company in Deadwood has a daily
capacity Of 200 tons. and it has paid ever
since its starting up. almost two years ago.
The deal has been pending for several
months. and during that time the work OF
gathering the control OF the stock has
been going on. and II is now held by a few
people, who. IL is said. will realize hand
sOmely from their Investments. The Port
land deal. while connected with the pres
snee OF Mr.. Bradley in this section. Is
separate from the Dakota deal. but as the

stock Market Improves.

In other respects the stock market situa-
ton is improving. Railroad earnings con-
tinue to show gratifying gains, traffic is
the great additions to rolling stock, the
railroads remain unable to properly handle
the enormous amount of freight pressing
upon them. Nor is any letup In sight. All
this means that the Industrial activities of
the country are unchecked. Consumption
Is going along at high-water mark, stimu-
lated. of course, by the active employment
of labor at good wages. Production also,
AS a rule, Is being carried on up to the
fullest limit. In fact. the whole country
is steaming at high pressure with Industrial
development, the only source Of complaint
being the declining profits of business abd
the late ov~er-eXpansion in the financial
markets. From the latter trouble we are
now fortunately recovering.

STOCK MARKET UNCERTAIN
Improved Monetary Conditions Cause a
Better Updertone.
NEW ENTERPRISES DEMAND MUCH MONEY
So Much Ia Needed for These Purposes
There r. Little TO spare mt Pres
ent for Speculative
Purposes.

NEW YORK, Jan. R-Cspecial)-Henrv
CleWs, In his weekly market letter, SAYS:
The stock market is pursuing a somewhat
uncertain course. A decidedly better under
tone prevails, owing to improved monetary
conditions, but all attempts to create any
general upward aggressive speculative
movement meet with only limited success
The real powers in the market seem averse
TO encouraging any violent bull speculation
at present. They seem equally averse to
permitting a decline Of any consequence,
but perfectly willing to permit a fuctuating
market IN which values will gradually find
their natural level. This firm but con-
serVative control Of the market by power
tul interests is the striking feature, and
In some respects II appears to be a natural
outgrowth Of the policy Of concentration
which has been going on for the last few
years. Whatever may be said of the vast
combinations recently Created, so long as
maintained they certainly possess immense
steadying powers and are a positive check
violent fluctuations, though Incapable
OF preventing ordinary ups and downs.

AS to the monetary prospects, the indica-
tions are for lower rates than prevailed
during the last three months of 1902. Until
the crop demands assert themselves there
appear to be no shoals ahead save the
April settlements and the July ~disburse-
ments. For the next nine months there
should be fairly clear sailing. If specula-
ton Is kept within reasonable limits.
Nevertheless, the supply of loanable funds
is not likely U prove over abundant m.
demand for capital from new enterprises
Is enormous, and the lnelasticity OF our
currency system tends to encourage firm
rates. Two very significant events have
recently occurred-the floating Of S25, 100000
Of one-year notes at 8 per cent by Lake
Shore, Endorsed by New York Central, and
the large issue of Pennsylvania equipment
notes on a AZ per cent basis. Both Of these
corporations possess the highest credit and
are considered towers of financial strength,
yet they are paying fully 1 per cent more
for money than they would have done
twelve months ago. The fact is there are
immense amounts of corporation paper held
by strong institutions; and. in view of the
big deals contemplated or in progress, there
is little probability OF any su~perabundance
of funds for some time ahead. Bank re-
serves should show a steady rise during
the next few weeks, and the tendency ought
to be towards easier rates; but IL is plain
there win be little to spare for extravaganza
speculation.

J. II. WillOuehby's Store Robbed.

On Thursday night some one
secured an entrance to j. ii. Will
loughby's store on Front street
and robbed it of about SIS or $50
worth of jewelry and a watch that
had been left at the store. Moth
ing else was missed.
Entrance was secured through
a back window by prizing the
iron bars apart. Whoever the
thief was, he was evidently of
very small stature, as an average
sized person could not have gotten
through the space made.
The thief also badly damaged
the cash register, from which he
secured about 20 cents, all there
was in it.
Brookhaven has had about
enough of this kind of business,
and it is hoped that the thief will
take his pitcher to the well once
too often at an early date.
