greater part of the garrison is invis-
1ble from our gun positions and as
you Know, shells do not always reach
the place to which they are directed.

brave resistance the deviation of our
guns is becoming greater and greater.

unable to guarantee to reach the
places at which they are directed.

10 convey to your excellency assur-
ances of my highest respect

Exceptional Sugar Output.

The activity of the commercial stock
and bond market for the past few
weeks has been noticeable, especially
in the case of sugar stock. Never be-
fore in the history of the sugar indus
try in Utah and Idaho have the beet
crops been so large, and this accounts
for the rapid movement of the stock.
The Utah Sugar company preferred
stock has sold strong at S1OI0. and
from that figure TO $1015. Common
stock has been active at S435. Pre-
ferred Amalgamated Sugar has ad-
vanced to S94 per share. with common
at Sl4l. Other securities have had a
tendency to advance slightly
One of the dividend announcements
FOR the new year is that of the Utah
State bank, which has decided to pay
dividends on 10 per cent basis in
stead of S per cent. During the past
year the following institutions have
paid extra dividends: u. c. NJ. l., . per
cent; Deseret National bank. 5 per
cent; Amalgamated Sugar. common.
10 per cent, and the Deseret National
bank, Z per cent extra.

TRADE IN PACIFICS
CONTINUED To BE FEATURE OF
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
RETURN OF N. P. STOCK
EXPECTED WHEN DECISION Is
MADE IN NORTHERN SECURITIES

RumOr to This Effect Caused Adj
vance i'm N. II. stock in Early Pnrt
of Day-Interest of Traders Cen
tered i'm Southern Pacific Pre-
ferred stock Issues-Sharp De-
clines in Metropolitan Group of
street Railways "a Depressing In
Huence in Market.
New York, June 17.-Interest in the
stock market to-day remained largely
conferred in the Southern Pacific pra-
ferred stock issues. This plan was dil-
igently canvassed from every point of
view. There was considerable specu-
lative activity in Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific as a consequence.
The early advance in Union, Pacific
was due also in part to a rumor that
decision in favor of the Union Pa
cific party was to be handed down in
the Northern Securities case, upholding
its contention for the return of the
Northern Pacific stock as originally de-
posted. There was more or less t1i
vergence in the course of the two stocks
as was the case yesterday, and the day
before, and this had the ,ff>ct of de-
pressing operations in the general mar
ket, owing to the confusion OF senti-
ment.
DuIIest Day of Week.
Dealings fell away to the dullest of
the week in the latter part of the day.
and prices chung closely to last nights
closing level. Sharp declines in the
Metropolitan group of street railway
stocks were also a depressing influence.
Southern Pacific was forced down III
late in the day, but vigorous support
was offered it, and the market closed
steady and generally slightly lower than
last night.
Bonds were less active than recently,
but prices were we'll sustained. To-
tai sales, par value, $1,745, 900. United
States bonds were unchanged on call.
