TO SELECT STONE
Capitol Commission Off to Visit the
Dakota Quarries.

The State Capitol Commission left
this city Friday tor the Black Hills to
look over the quarries in that part of the
state to size up their possibilities in the
way of supplying the material and the
amount required for the new state cap
itol building. The commission generally
is favorable to South Dakota material
it it can be secured inside of bids to
compete with equally as good material
from other states in which the South
Dakota quarrymen are given 5 per
cent preferential under the law. The
Hot Springs white sandstone is consid-
cred to be fine building stone, and a
structure of that stone would make a
fire appearance, set upon basement
of Sioux Falls granite. Whether such a
combination can be secured depends
upon the bidders, and they say their
bids depend upon what the quarrymen
can show them. The commission will,
on its return from the Black Hills, look
over the granite quarries at Jasper, Sioux
Falls and Dell Rapids.

About False Prophets.


OF late we have been told, over and
over again, by full score of captains
OF industry and lords Of finance, that
because OF the awakening of the people
10 certain conspicuous evils in the old
order OF things, capital is "becoming
gravely alarmed" and is withdrawing
its support from Industrial activity;
chat reaction is about to set in, and
that the time is near at hand when idle
ness and Starvation will confront the
great industrial army Of the nation.
Railroad masters in particular have
been very noisy in the front rank Of
this chorus of alarm. Here ia Nebraska
as elsewhere throughout the west, there
has been lot of this sort of talk. None
but the very credulons has taken this
talk seriously. The facts have been and
still are overwhelmingly against the
aiarmists. Mere speculative hurries do
not touch the heart of present.day in
dustrial life, as every man of sense
knows. And every one knows that the
recent disturbances have been purely
speculative Will.o' the. wisps, without
form or substance.

Washington that the treasury depart nent would buy $25,OOO, 900 of the nearly matured four per cents. of 1907 at 101 l-2 was the signal for the most ani- mated buying of the session. The first impression given by the news was of relief from the anxiety over the coming withdrawal on Friday of this week of the remaining half of the deposits bf government funds made withthe banks in December, which would call for $6,- OOO0OO. The heavy loss of cash report ed in the Saturday bank statement is attributed largely to the withdrawal of the first half of these, and the small margin of the bank surplus makes the threatened withdrawal of $6,G00, 900 more look formidable. The treasury's offer is half per cent higher than was made in December for $1O,O00,000. At that time only about $3000,000 of the bonds were turned in. The price offer ed is practically that ruling in the market But response to the offer is not expected from tn eholders of the bonds who have them on deposit to se- cure circulation, From investment  holders it is not expected that large of ferings will be made More stress was laid on the expectation that the deci- sion of the treasury would be modified regarding the withdrawal of deposits on Friday. There were rulings also of a feeling of greater confidence on the part of capitalists over the attitude of the administration towards corpora tions.
 Call money was higher than last week, and the time money market was firm in sympathy, bue the stock market reflected no uneasiness on that score. The strength of the coppers was the effective sustaining influence in the latter market. Rumors of the intended increase in the Anaconda dividend were used with effect.

YESIERDAE'S STOCK MARKET
Prices Readily Advance on Moderate
 Volume of Buying.

New York, Feb. 1.-The notable fact in the action of the stock market to- day was the readiness with which prices advanced on a moderate volume of buying. The buying orders came into the market at irregular intervals. and there were long halts in the ris- ing tendency, and in the execution of buying orders. The hardness of the market in the dull intervals was re-
 markable, and was highly significant of the great subsistence of the selling. During the first hour there was some selling, which seemed to be based on the prospect of higher money rates of
 fered by the complexion of the bank statement on Saturday. The ample de- mand to absorb this selling which ap- peared put an end to it, and the pro- fessional element showed no aggressive opposition to the upward tendency aft CT that. The receipt of the news from
