the new stock issue was made in the
afternoon the stock moved with the rest
of the market.
Atchison made a new high record for
this year without bringing out any new
rumor, and about all that was heard
about the stock was that the financial
plan would receive the approval of the
stockholders at the special meeting next
month. This. of course, is foregOne
conclusion, but nothing has yet been def
nitely decided as TO the exact time at
which a portion Of the new securities will
be offered for subscription, or the exact
form in which the issue will be made.
This will probably depend on the money
market.
A large trader, who was a seller Of
Steel yesterday. turned buyer to-day, TAX
ing about 1O.0G0 shares of the stock. He
got it without much difficulty. although
at one time it looked as if the price would
so above 80 This was one of the fea-
lures OF the market-that the buying of
stocks was done by brokers whose tran
sactions are never regarded as very i'm
pOTtant, and II is entirely possible that
large interests are distributing orders in
this way SO as TO disguise the significance
Of what is going on.
A broker whose ability to arrive az the
value Of things is generally recognized
says:
II do not know whether the Amalga-
mated Copper directors intend to increase
the dividend on the stock or not, but / do
know that frcm the advance in the price

they made last year Add 20 this the in
crease IN production and the possible saw
ing in operating cost and you will see
that there is the basis for ii substantial
increase in the rate of disbursements to
stockholders whether the advance is made
now or three months hence"
Favorable comment regarding the ac-
tion Of Erie following the early decline
was heard in some conservative quarters.
and il was pointed out that the price
is now about nine points. or Is per cent,
lower than the high mark Of the CORE
spondiug month last year. As "a matter
Of fact the stock Is really worth more
now than it was then. Tor earnings con-

designed to put Erie in its proper place
in the trunk line family. What President
Underwood coutended for years ago has
come 90 be recognized by nearly all com
petent aUth0rities-that Erie can show a
better return on a comparatively small
amount spent for betterments than can

the most astonishing thing the present
management has been showing Is that

London option dealers reported heavy
demand for calls on Southern Pacific run
ming to the end of September. This de-
mand is accepted as a fair indication that
whatever good news is expected on the
stock will not come before midsummer

in August.
The greater part of the decline in Chi
cago and Northwestern occurred in the
first hour, and after the announcement OF
The Washington herald., 1907-01-16

The theory that the buying Of Southern
Pacific represented nothing more than
speculative operation by a house of the
second magnitude was so entirely at vari-
ance with the sustained strength of the
stock that it is doubtful If even those who
propounded it retained their faith in it
10 the end OF the session Perhaps what
was worth more attention was the fact
that the buying had some points of SINH
larity TO that seen in the stock at the
beginning of the movement which pre-
ceded the dividend declaration last Au-

PUBLIC OPINION.
Power Of the Country Fress and Its
influences Upon the Community.

While the influences of the great
city papers are recognized and the
great magazines fill necessary field,
neither of these conveyers of general
information can ever supplant the field
that is occupied by the country press.
The home paper is the medium that
conveys local intelligence to its read
ers. 1t fills place in the journalistic
world that no other publication can
ever supplant. The country press is
one of the greatest powers in the
molding Of public opinion. 1t may not
be up to the highest classical standard,
but its rough literary gems are contin.
ually shining Respondent and cast
their rays in the most remote corners
of the land. 1t is power for good.
In It's reflections of events, in the local
field are shown the progress of the
people whom 1t represents. 1t is the
mirror of the condition of the town
and the country. The residents OF
every community should take the
greatest pride in assisting in making
the home press more powerful. Stand
up for your home paper. 1t is the one
staunch advocate of your local inter
ests and to an extent is Indicative OF
either your prosperity or your lack OF
progress.

starlInss Ess.steaIers.

A correspondent, writing from
Leith, England, expresses strong
opinion tina tstarlings rob small birds
nests.
Some years ago there was a large
tree opposite my dwelling house.
There was hole in the trunk of the
tree about ten feet from the ground,
and sparrows built their nests in the
cavity. have time and again seen
starlings driving away the parent
birds, enter the nests, taking hold
Of the eggs with their bills and fly
ing away with them.
A gravedigger In Banffshire once
told me that yellowhammer had
built its nest in the churchyard, and
1t contained four eggs. One day q
starting attacked the hen bird as she
sat on her eggs. The yellowhammer
defended her nest and made a great
noise, which attracted his attention,
but before he got up to the nest the
yellowhammer had been killed by
the Startling, and the latter was on the
nest and breaking and eating the
eggs. Forty years ago starlings were
rare birds in many parts of Scotland,
but now they are to be seen In thou
sands everywhere, and there can be
no doubt they have some destructive
habits.

TOWN HELPS.

It is easy to estimate the business
importance OF a place by the appear
ance of its stores. Dingy. dirty APP
pearing business places always give a
bad impression and are generally ihdi-
catiye of the character OF the business
men OF the town.
Good newspapers are important fac
tors in building of towns. Well filled
advertising pages. as well as local
news pages speak for the prosperity
of a place and makes an impression
upon the readers that assist the town
to greater prosperity.
Large trees grow from little seeds.
A small industry In town may not
appear to be much but by proper nurs-
ing 1t may develop into an enterprise
of national Importance. In every
manufacturing undertaking there is a
turning point that means failure Of
success. Each small industry, that Is
established in town should receive

The people should understand that
they never receive something for
nothing. or receive anything Of value
for less than Its value unless under
some abnormal circumstance. OF late
years there has system grown up Of
offering great bargains In various
kinds Of goods by catalogue sent
through the mails, and presenting at
tractive and Elusive advertising that
goods are being sold at less than cost.
The intelligent man or woman will
carefully consider all the circum-
stances relative to such offers, and
will be guided accordingly. It Is EVIL
dent that when special bargains are
made there are conditions that Justify
such bargains; that goods are not of
standard grade. are stale, or deterior-
ated in some manner. Also there has
system of offering "free premiums"
grown up that Is unwholesome, and to
an extent an imposition upon the peo-
pie as the system compels them to
pay for articles that are not essential
for them to have. The man who buys
sugar does not care to be forced un.
der the guise Of paying for sugar to
pay for a paper Of pins or a package
Of needles, even though these may be
free premium" 1t is well to bear
these points in mind, and little
study into business economics and
principles will be highly advantage
GUS to the one who desires to know
about the proper value Of goods he
must buy.
