The Depression in the Stock
Market.

The stock market is back again in
the condition in which the professional
element of Wall street likes to see it.
There is increased activity, and daily
sales are running above million shares.
The bears are in control, and despite
some rallies from time to time, they
are enabled to keep the general trend
downward. Every time a bit is clipped
off the price Of a stock the market
value of the total issue decreases by a
large sum. Thus Great Northern sold
recently at 1923, and more recently,
since the decline began, at 281. This
takes about $6O,0OO,OO0 off the nominal,
or quotable, stock market value, Of the
entire issue Of Great. Northern stock.
Northern Pacific, in the shrinkage Of
its market figures, lost about $40 700, :
900 in the same time. Stock market
statisticians are fond Of making cal
culations Of this kind, whenever a big
decline or continued advance is on.
To the people who own the stocks
outright it makes little difference so
long as they are receiving their divi.
dends regularly, and do not have to sell
out or use their stocks for collateral
But in case a holder wishes to turn his
stock into cash or put it up at the bank
for a loan it makes a very material
difference.
No one can tell how far the present
} decline will run, whether low points
have not been seen today, or whether
indeed, the bearsmarket has only begun

that was the cause of the weakness il

PUSHING BRIDGE WORK
North Western Road Purposes to Build
Permanent Structure at Pierre.

Permanent Structure at Pierre.
Special to The Journal. IT,
Pierre, S. D., May 2.-The material
tracks for the storage yard for the per-
manent bridge to be put in by the
North Western road at this city has
been completed, and material for the
construction work is expected to arrive
at any time.
The piers Of the bridge will be of
Mankato stone, faced with Ortonville
granite. It will be necessary to 60
down about seventy feet from the sur
face at the location of the first piers
but in the river bed it is forty feet to
the foundation from the low water
level
It is hoped to have this structure
ready by the time the road is opened tt
traffic, but the probabilities are that 9
pile bridge will have to be used for the
coming winter. The new bridge will
be ready before it is necessary to re-
move the pile bridge on account of the
ice going out next spring.

Now the plan is to have the route run

From the standpoint Of the applause
following each number and from the at
tendance each afternoon and evening, no
better balanced or more popular bill Of
modern vaudeville has ever been pre-
sented at the Orpheum theater than that

the features which most appeal to mat
inee audiences especially, the coin and

prominent place. The closing feature of
his number is the exhibition Of the 'ani-

Compliments Mr.. Olmstead.

The appetite for office is by no means
lacking in the new county of St. Lucie,
as glance at the announcement columns
of the excellent papers published there
in will show, but Hon. Claude Olmstead
who is a candidate for reelection to the
House, has no opponent, so far. His
ability was so clearly shown in the last
House by the manner in which he secured
the passage of the bill organizing the
new county that there seems to be a
general demand there that he shall be
returned. Times Union.
