REAL ESTATE NOTES.

Manager TAFT, of the International
Banking Corporation, denies categorical
ly the report that the company he rep
resents has entertained any propositions
looking 10 the purchase OF the Stone
property at the northeast corner of Four
teenth and f streets. He says it is
true certain propositions have been sub
mitted to him which he in turn will
submit to the directors of his corpora
4tion at the proper time That, Mr.
TAFT says. is all there is to IL He has
not instructed any architect to prepare
plans for building to be erected on
that lot.
1t can be stated as a positive fact
that all negotiations as to this particu-
lar property are tentative to the last de-
gree. AS heretofore stated in The Tiraes
the property is held at something near
$500, 600, and any plans having for their
purpose the erection of large office
building would involve the expenditure
of not less than a million or more

MISS MILDRED {. LEEE
DIES IN NEW ORLEANS

News was received in Washington this
morning of the death in New Orleans
last night of Miss Mildred e. Lee, young
est daughter of Gen. Robert Z. Lee.
Miss Lee dropped dead at the house of
Mrs. William Preston Johnston, whom
she had been visiting for two or three
weeks She had been in the best of
health, and at the time of her death was
engaged in conversation with ner host
ess' family. Five years ago at the
Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs Miss
Lee suffered an attack of heart failure
similar to that which resulted in her
death but since that time there lad
been no return of the malady until last
righ;.
Since her fathers death Miss Lee has
Travelled extensively, spending d great
deal of her time abroad. Until a few
years ago she made her home with her
brother, Gen. w. @. CuStiS Lee, at Lex
ington, Va, where he was president or
Washington and Lee University Upon
'ais resignation General Lee has lived
at Ravensworth, Va. with his nephew.
Col. Robert E. Lee, jr, who is well
known III Washington. Besides Gen.
Custis Lee, Miss Mildred Lee is survived
by brother and sister Capt. Robert
f. Lee, OF West Point, Va, and Miss
Mary Lee, who makes her home in
Richmond, but who at present is abroad
Miss Mildred Lee has. been a great
favorite with Southern people. not only
for the sake of her father, but also be-
cause of her own gentle disposition and
personal attractiVeness. No arrange
ments have been made for her funeral,
but her greatnephew, Col. Robert z.
Lee, jr., Will probably go to New Orleans
tonight to bring the remains TO Virginia.
1t is likely that Miss Lee will be buried
at Lexington, Va

NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF THE STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK.

Most of the market critics who are
usually listened to with respect still at
tach the highest Importance to the
movements OF the money market In the
immediate future There are the quar-
terly disbursements of April to be reck-
oEed with, besides the usual spring
movement of money to the interior, a
reminder ot which was a transfer of
100000 through the subtreasury to Gin
cinnati yesterday. The flotation in New
York Of a japanese bond allotment
greater than any foreign loan previous
ly negotiated here will be partly offset
by some of the bonds finding their way
to the Continent, where they are al
ready said To = -aining in favor over
the more familiar Russian issues
Pending the dey yelopment of a more
definite market tendency, speculation
has largely SHIFTED from the more
prominent issues 10 tie minor indus
trials and the less important railroad
STOCKS, which are moSe easily influenced
by pool trading. American Locomotive
has been picked up with enthusiasm,
and immediate dividends upon the com
mon are talked Of The stock was un-
doubtedly entitled to q rise on its
merits, but there is every reason to be
heve that the dividend talk is prema-
tGre. The management of the company
has always paid less attention to the
stock market and more to its duties as
officials than other corporation man
ayers who might be mentioned, for
which reason it is safe to dfScredit
rumors purporting to have official sane
ton. From what it is Ts)ssible to learn
OF the attitude of the directors toward
dividends, 1t appears that no action
viii be taken until the annual report has
been made up in August.
Although the formal annoslncep,apt Of
the Offering of the new Az per cent
today, transactions in this security
when issued Were a feature of yes
terday's curb market. The widespread
interest evoked by this loan may be
gauged fr:>m the receipt here OF a large
number OF cable applications from
French bankers who desire to subscribe
to these securities. and the life insur-
ance companies alone have signified
their intention of absorbing one-fifth of
the S15,0oO, 600 worth of the issue that has
been allotted for American subscription
Unless every present indication should
fail, the loan will be the most success
ful OF any foated by Japan during the
progress of the war.
Estimates purporting to be based on

Street, places the net earnings of the
United States Steel Corporation for the
