But with a situation of such extreme
delicacy as that in the far East, rendered
the more so BY the traditional suspicion
Of Russia by England. clearly defined from
the days of the Turko- Russian War and

BREAKS NOT REASSURING.
The effects of such severe breaks as
those of Saturday doubtless will not be
wholly reassuring upon the public. Oddly
enough. the position created which rem
dered the market vulnerable and the de-
clines severe owed its origin in part to
an effort to create favorable sentiment
and induce public buying at higher level
1t appears therefore that the manipula-
tive movement really defeated its own
purpose.
Probably no event Of the coming week
will have more influence on the local Sc
curity market than the publication Of the
annual earnings. of the United States Steel
Corporation and the declaration of the div
i6end policy of the company. The earn
ings for the quarter ending December 81
last will be compared with earnings for
the same period in 1901 of $29 ,759. .912 and
in 1902 of $31, ,613 Estimates for the
present year are all the way from $13.-
300 0Oo to $50 G00,0O0 The general consen-
sus of opinion appears to favor the pass
ing of the common stock entirely and a
retention of the preferred rate OF Z per
cent unchanged at this time.

Cement MANUFACTURERS
VITALITY INTERESTED.
Barrels to Ascertain Best Rate
Obtainable for Material.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. Jan. 3-The building trade
of the United States in general and the
manufacturers of Portland cement In
particular are interested In the opening of
bids for furnishing 1000 barrels Of cement
for the Tonic basin Monday at the Office
of Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock.
While the amount Of cement on which
proposals are to be received is relatively
small in comparison with the 100000 bar
rels which will be consumed in the build
ing of the dam, 1t is understood that on
the prices quoted on this lot Of cement
will be based the decision of the Interior
Department on the question Of entering
into the manufacture of It's own cement
for this project.
A number of bidders will be present at
the opening of the proposals and the As
sociation of Portland Cement Manufactur-
ers will be represented By several mem
hers Of the Executive Board from Phila-
delphia.
In preparing the estimates for the great
dam, the engineers of the Geological Sur
vey computed the cost of the 100000 bar
rels of cement by adding to the cost Of
cement at San Francisco in carload lots
the freight to Globe, Ariz. and wagon
haul of forty miles over mountain road
to the dam. This calculation made th.s
cost OF cement which sells at s1.6o to 81. 10

An Extraordinary Record.

The Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York announces to its policy-holders
that. with the close of Its sixty-ffrst year
of corporate existence, its assets exceed
the sum of four hundred millions Of dol
lars. No better guarantee of the safe
management of the fund can be had than
the standing of the extraordinary body of
men, prominent in every field of COM
merce ard finance. who form the Mutual
Life's Board of Trustees; and upon their
personality, attributes, and high admins
trative ability. the company in a very
large measure rests its claim to the conf
dence and support of the community.
Under the direction Of these trustees and
the administration of these officials and
their predecessors, the name of the Mu-
tual Life has become a synonym for
strength and probity. It claims to have
returned. to policy-holders over six hum
dred and twenty millions Of dollars, ac-
cumulated for their benefit, or over one
hundred and ninety millions more than
any other company OF its kind has ever
similarly disbursed. 1t ID believed that
these unparalleled results afford ample
