business is in 4 more active and flourish
ing condition in this state than in most
parts Of the country. Unless this were
true the papers could no: show the
enterprise that they do. The deeper
81 nificance is that the reading public of
this state is larger in proportion to the
total population than is the case in
most states in the union. and that in
the average intelligence of its people
Colorado is not surpassed by any other
state.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

The action Of the directors Of the United
States Steel Corporation on The dividend on the
common stock Of the concern was not announced
until after the close Of business on the Stock
Exchange. but the movement Of the Steel secu-
rites IN the day suggested the belief in specu-
lstive circles that the regular per cent quar-
serly rate would be declared. In many circles
Il was believed, however. that the declaration
Al the usual rate would be followed in the
course Of time by p decline in the stock while
Il was thought that the passing or reduction Of
The dividend would eventually lead to better
prices for all Steel issues. the theory that tie
public would have more confidence in the cor
poration if il made an exhibition of corporate
conservatism by taking the common stock out
Of the dividend class or by cutting the rate in
Two. The reduction Of the dividend to one-half
or per cent for the quarter reflects a COM
promise. as a number Of directors were in favor
~ having the dividend passed, while others
thought that conditions warranted the declara-
lion Of the fun per cent. II is not at all uu-
likely that in 1904 the stock VIII be taken out Of
the dividend column.
The general market was duh throughout the
day on a movement Of values that showed great
srregularity. with several gains in the majority
Of issues at the close. Trading was made Up IN
great part Of the operations OF professional
dealers. There were 10 features Of interest aud,
taken as a whole the speculation was duller
and Of less importance than any recorded in
many days. Money was easy and foreign ex-
change firm.
Despite the low prices for railroad securities.
railroad earnings are heavy in all parts OF the
country. while. according to all indications. the
volume of traffic VIII continue large throughout
the year. There are big crops TO be moved this
vear. and, a consequence Of the sales Of grain

by the Western and Southwestern roads Mis-

compared with ,the same time last year Mis-
souri, Pacific is a property that is well worth
watching. II is being most ably handled in the
interests Of the stockholders. and there is no
good reason TO suppose that the company VIII

WOMAN'S REALM
Again a Moofed Question

All people, regardless OF class and
are affected by the scarcity
of coal. This is particularly true Of
florists The country over. The fuel has
been so scarce and high in price that it
has been impossible for some OF them
TO get a sufficient amount 10 keep their
hot house going. For instance, one
well-known Philadelphia florist. who
has been keeping eight houses OF Amer
lean beauty roses, has put Eve out OF
commission. In the three remaining
ones he keeps the temperature at fifty
five or sixty degrees instead of eighty.
which is considered necessary for the
perfection Of the queen Of roses. The
proper temperature for carnations and
other plants should be seventy degrees.
In his other rose houses he has cut
down the vines, and the decreased sup
ply accounts for the high prices. Other
flowers are high in proportion.
Several Wilmington florists have been
obliged to close some of their houses
and prices here are proportionately
high as elsewhere. For instance, roses
this year bring 81 and SO a dozen
whereas last year they sold for S1.50
Carnations now are fifty cents. seventy.
five cents and one dollar a dozen while
last winter they were plentiful al
thirty-five cents, forty cents and City
cents a dozen. AS to violets. there q

New York. Jan. 16.-Up to early this

lowing statement, signed by Clement
A. Griscom. the president Of the line,
was given:
"There is no apprehension whatever
felt about the ship, as several causes
have contributed TO her delay. She did
not leave Cherbourg until Sunday af-
forenoon, nearly 1G hours late, and
according 20 her average speed for
the last few voyages was not due here
until Tuesday
1T is known that the ships boilers
