The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall Street

The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall Street.
New York, Jan. 1.-TWO infuencas
caused a reaction in the stock market
this week: first. the poor statement of
earnings Of the United States Steel
Corporation for the last few months
and, second, the war crisis between
Russia and Japan. Coming together.
and affecting other financial centers
than New York, they induced a general
selling movement on both long and
short accounts. Perhaps the most
serious disturbing factor was the strong
probability Of war. While It is evil
dent that the resources of diplomacy
have not at this writing been entirely
exhausted, the situation is neverthe-
less so acute that slight provocation
on either side would precipitate open
hostfhtieS. Japan may easily be tempt =
ed into firing the first gun, knowing
that she can strike more effectively
now than by allowing time for her op-
ponent to more effectively prepare for
war. Delay is gain for Russia and
corresponding loss for Japan: hence
the aggressiveness of the latter. and
the risk of early hostilities.
Passing of the dividend on Steel COM
mon was foregone conclusion. II
was the fall in earnings from S13. 600 :
900 in June to something over $4,000
600 in December that caused fresh sell
ing in the stock market This was
less than half the earnings in the same
month last year.
Cotton speculation continued upon a
feverish scale. the staple showing sharp
declines owing to the war r1Innors and
dlstrust or the speculative movement.
Wheat, on the other hand, advanced.
as usual on war rumors In other
respects the stock market is unchanged.

Selby Will Have
Opposition.

A bulletin from New York says
that at the general Offices of the
American Smelling & Refining
Company in that city its engineers
are now busily engaged upon plans
for the construction of a smelter
and a refinery on the outskirts of
San Francisco which shall incur
an outlay of no less than $3,O0O,-
600. The plant, at these figures,
must be more pretentious than
any in the company's far-reaching
system, although it includes the
cost of a refinery. The volume of
pres on the South for which the
company has contracted and the
enormous tonnages at Tonopah
have it, is said, compelled it to
reach out for additional equip
ment, and San Francisco, sccord-
ing to the news from the East, has
captured the prize, the bullion to
be forwarded to New York by
water,

The HaZen CUT
Off.

The Miner this week learned
from an authoritative source that
the Southern Pacific Company has
definitely decided to construct a
cutoff from the G. & G. starting at
a point eight miles north of Wab-
uska and connecting with the
main line at Hazen, a station
twenty-five miles, and it will make
a saving of eighty-four miles be-
tween Tonopah and Salt Lake.
The new line will enable the South
ern Pacific to make a very material
reduction in the freight rates on
r shipments to the Salt Lake
smelters, and it will avoid the ex-
pensive transfer at Mound House
and the somewhat arduous toll ex-
acted by the V. & 7. 1t is under
stood that as soon rs the cutoff is
completed the Western Ore Pur-
chasing Company of Reno will
erect a sampling works either at
the point where the new road
leaves the G. q G. or at Hazen, for
the purpose of handling the ores
from this district. Min

Fire On The
COmStOCk.

One hundred thousand dollars
in valuable property went up III
smoke in one of the most disaster
Gus fires in the history Of Virginia
City on Thursday last. The careless
throwing of a lighted match by a
miner caused the terrible fire and
now a large force of men in the
Union, Scorpion and Sierra Me-
vada mines are out of work. The
blaze was discovered in the i'm
mense hosting works of the Union
mine about one o'clock Thursday
afternoon A strong wind was
blowing at the time, making it i'm
possible for the fremen to battle
with the flames. It was late in
the afternoon before the fire was
under control.
The Scorpion and Sierra Nevada
mines are being worked through
the Union shaft and it was through
this shaft that the miners were
forced to make their escape. Fort
unately only one man, Lisle Bail
ey, was seriously injured. A fall
ing smokestack struck him, pro-
ducing a number of injuries,
though not of a serious nature.
The fine Union plant, costing
thousands of dollars and resulting
in employment for a large force of
miners, is entirely destroyed. The
loss is estimated at $125, 900, which
is covered lightly by insurance.
The plant, it is understood, will
be entirely replaced and work on
building will begin just as soon as
arrangements car be made.

schoo, system overcrowded,

The idea of introducing cooking and
sewing lessons into the public school
system! The whole thing is sting
ing criticism on the home OF to-day.
Where did the mothers of to-day and
the mothers of yesterday learn to
cook and sew? At home. They went
home from school and helped get sup
per instead Of galavanting down town
to make goo-goo eyes at the boys and
gaze into store windows. They did
the same thing at noon and they knew
what was going to be on the breakfast
table before it was displayed. They
got up and helped get it, instead of
sleeping off a dance of the night be.
fore until called to get up and help
eat 1t.
The Item has long taken issue with
the tomfoolery that is to be found
in our present day school system. And
we are not alone in our protests. Our
school system is overcrowded, clogged
up, packed, jammed full of things
that have no business there, and are
placed there and kept there at the
expense Of things essential.-Rich.

Beauty and the Babies.

AS q guardian of children, no hui
man being ever surpassed Beauty"
an Irish setter dog, says Daniel Lee
of 800 South Fifteenth street, her
owner. Lee has trained his dog to
take care of the little pickininnies
which call him pap. He says that
the dog is better than nurse to
keep the children from harm and
would willingly sacrifice her life to
save that of his children. Lee has
one little girl who likes to play in the
street. She occasionally tries to do
~ forbidden it,
should not go out of their own yard" ="
said Lee yesterday, land whenever
my little girl tries to go through the
gate she has rough and tumble
fight with Beauty. Beauty will run
in front of her and If she refuses to
stop grasps her dress and pulls her
back She holds on in spite of any
efforts she makes to get away Some
times the child in her innocence re-
sents the dogs actions and cuffs and
kicks her. When she hurts her the
dog whines pitifully, but still holds on.
The other day the child in her rage
took hold of the dogs ear with her
teeth and bit it. The dog howled in
pain. but did not offer to do her in.

Beauty is very valuable dog and
has faultless pedigree. Some time
since She gave birth to twelve little
beauties and is not out of the yard
much now. as she has children of her
own to care for.-Denver Republican

Pin Prick Cause of a Victory.

Nelson gained his great victory Of
the Nile through pin prick. 1t
came about in this way.
Sir John Acton, then commander-in-
chief of the land and sea forces Of
Naples, happened to be in his wife's
dressing room at the moment she was
preparing for dinner.
Lady Acton's French maid was also
in the room, and was so startled at re.
ceiving a letter from her brother, a
sailor In the French navy, whom she
believed to be dead. that she ran a
pin into her mistress flesh.
Apologizing for her carelessness,
the maid stated the cause of her sur
prise. With carefully suppressed eag-
erness, Sir John offered to read the
letter while the maid continued her
duties. The maid gladly consented.
Having read the letter the comman-
derin-chief left the house in search OF
Lord Nelson, who had in vain been
seeking the French fleet. He found
him and impaired to him the contents
Of the letter.
1t gave all the information the ad.
miral had SO long endeavored to OBJ
tain.
Setting sail Immediately, Nelson
came up with the French, and the vic
tory of the Nile was the result.

TROPICAL Fruit lmporta.

In reviewing the tropical fruit trade
for the last year. it is seen that New
Orleans still holds the record for be-
ing the largest receiving point of
tropical fruits. and on account of its
geographical position and it's close
proximity to Central and South Ameri-
ca, no other port will ever equal it..
The total importations of bananas
and cocoanuts into United States
ports during the fiscal year from July
/, 1908, to June 80 1904, aggregate
27,000,000 bananas and 100000
cocoanuts. of which New Orleans re-
ceived 100000 punches of bananas,
Mobile 100000. Baltimore 100000,
Philadelphia 100000. New York A.
100000, Boston 100000. In addition
to the receipts of bananas and cocoa
nuts sundry shipments of Central
American oranges and pineapples and
Cuba pines have been literally i'm
ported-New Orleans Times-Demo.
