SLUMP HAS NOT HURT MARKET
Railway Securities Have Shrunk 3d.
0e7 100000, but Demand Is Firm

That railway securities have shrunk
$2,097, 100000 in 68 days past is given
on the authority of the Railroad Ca

shrinkage in bonds, which would add
materially to the total losses in mar

Accepting this statement as approx
imately correct, and few question the
accuracy of the Railroad Gazette,
American people may find ground for
cOngratulation in the amazing fact
that, while this tremendous slump was
taking place, not failure of note has
been recorded, in the United States;

John Duggan, the contractor who
secured the contract for the construc-
ton of the Federal leprosium on Mo-

and determined to throw up the job.
The fascination of $3.50 a day job
with percentage in San Francisco
seems to have seduced him from the
local contract. In consequence of
Duggan's retirement the work on the
new leprosarium will probably be fur
