 the fact established that the Union Pa cific company had been selling good
 deal of its Securities stoek-of which It
 had $S2, GOO, ,00O. There was no ofhclal
 confirma ton of this.
 Announcement was made from Mon
 treal and denied by President Shaugh-
 messy in London that Canadian Pacific would issue $9,OO0000 of new stock.
 The United States Steel stocks stood
 exceedingly firm, noticeably So, and the
 preferred early advanced to 104. Their
 issue seems to get along without hay
 ing much support given.
 Arbitrage firms bought rather ileavi- ly on the early break, taking about
 10000 shares on balance, largely Un- ion Pacific, St, Paul and United States Steel.
 That money will work easy for the next few months is the general expec- tation, although the usual temporary disturbance is expected over the half
 year settlements. The freer offerings of time funds is considered confirmatory
 of the above opinion, and cash gains from the interior and the sub-treasury are having good effect. There was again very heavy selling of Union Pacific in the forenoon. The
 larger traders put it out by the thou l sands of shares, and there was scatter ing liquidation by commission houses
 The west was again a large seller. Z { | ' t t The pending labor troubles in the
 Mesaba and Gogebic iron ranges at tracted but little attention. More | thought was given to the coming an rouncemeIit of the March quarterly re- port of the United States Steel corpor' ! ation, which is expected to be very fa- | vorable; also to the action of Anal gamated Copper directors at the di' vidend meeting.
 Colorado Fuel was a strong feature on the continued buying by bankers reported ito be acting for the inside par ty. There was considerable trading in the new Colorado industrial bonds. f Predictions of higher prices were heard | in well informed circles. At the same | time it was pointed out that of the l s25, ,0o0, GOO to which the stockholders
 had the right to subscribe only $9,35o,-
 900 have been taken by the holders of l the rights, .-&
 l A private dispatch from Baltimore 1 states that the American Locomotive company has received from the Balti-
 more & Ohia Railroad company the l largest order for locomotives that has
 ever been placed by any railroad in I the history of transportation. This or | der is stated to be in excess of $3,000, 900 and calls for the maximum capacity
 of the locomotive company's plant fol 1 the rest of the year.
 In their comments upon recent devel- opments Dick Bros & Co. said In yes. | terday mornings letter to customers
 By shaking out great many long stocks from weak accounts, and by | creating new short interest. to-day's declines undoubtedly helped the mar.
 ket's general situation. It is not un. likely, however, that further liquidation will be seen, and lower prices al l through the list will not be surprising ! Unless there should be some really un. favorable developments or some dis closures of the failure of merger ne | gotiations we think stocks can be
 bought on any further sharp drives"

mary for State officers, United states

Interest in the inauguration of Pres1-
dent Roosevelt is much in evidence
throughout the South according to late
sdvices, and four gifts Governors nave
promised to be in line in the inaugural
parade, including Governor Montague,
who will command brigade OF the

have accepted as sincere Teddy's
declaration, "that he would try to be a
good and decent President" for all the
people of all the country, and to be
willing as long as he keeps his good
resolution to pay him all the respect
due to him as the Executive of the
