vide the necessary funds TO complete the

5. H. Agnew, Of Henry CleWs & Co.
The belated rally OF Tuesday at erHooH
was continued into the early transactions
o. to-day and some Of the leaders were
marked up 20 new high levels. II can be
stated that there is practically no new
buying for outside accounts. The big peo-
pie are not laying away stocks, even
at this level. for investment purposes.
The future is too uncertain to warrant
this with the knowing ones. The daily
fluctuations now being made are very
largely due 20 professional transactions.
Little concern is exhibited regarding the
action of the directors OF the Amalga-
mated Copper Company who meet to-
morrow. Il is generally understood that
the regular . per cent dividend win be
declared More interest is manifested in
the United States Steel dividend. 10 be
declared on the last day Of this month.
Many recent small purchases have been
made in the belief that the dividend on
the common stock would be doubled. Be
cause the company needs a large portion
81 its surplus for building and cOmplet-
ing new plants. there does not seem TO be
much likelihood Of an increase at present.
Regarding the immediate future of the
market, there is not much danger in pick
ing up stocks when Taided, nor in sales
when prices are bid up by short cover
ing. In other words buying on breaks
and selling on rallies holds good.
Herbert I. Jones. Of Charles c, Gates &

< Co.-"The market started more reas-
surfing than for some days. and following
the lead OF London prices our opening
showed gains. From this point quite a
spirited rally set IN under the leadership
Of Union Pacific, Reading, Shelters, Cop
per and Steels. II soon became evident
that the supply OF stocks for sale was in
creasing which caused the market to hest
tate and later decline gradually. The clos
ing was not far from the lowest Of the
day, although prices showed some resist
ance around that level. In the late after
noon the Hartman issues were Influenced
by an entirely unconarmed rumor to the
effect that the Union Pacific had placed
ia London short-time notes TO the extent
OF El96d0.008 The course of prices
was again left entirely to professional
traders, who sold stocks. Some support
was given, bat there was entire absence
Of any intention toward support other

The strike of miners In Alberta was a
factor in causing the decline in Canadian

lance was the fact that the technical po-
sition which caused the stock to de-
cline viii be relieved by the arrival, about
the beginning OF next week of con

who had hoped for a cessation of the sort
of manipulation that has stood in the way
Of Canadian Pacific becoming the popu-

entitle it to be, were rather discouraged
to find that the tactics to which they Oh
jected were as much In evidence as they

In Mem0riam.

A devoted wife, mother and sister, has been called to enter Life eternal, and there, in the light of the Dear Savior, whom she loved and served, rejoice in work well done, and mission fulfilled here on earth, while the be- reaved husband, children, sister and friends are almost inconSolable, and cannot see why she was taken while life was so full of joy to her here.
 We know that in the blessed home to which she has gone, all of those qualities which won for her the re- spect, admiration and love from those who knew her, will, in that home, be rounded out in perfect completeness. God had need of her, therefore He called her home.

If you set your heart on winning the piano and then happen to fail, you then have a very good prospect to win one of those HANDSOME GOLD WATCHES One of which will be given to the girl who is ahead in each township where there are two or more contestants, the only condition being that she must have turned in at least ten new subscribers herself.
