NEW YORK, July 27.-Some stock mar
ket observers are disposed to believe that
the market will be comparatively quiet and
more or less irregular until after the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific dividend
declarations are officially announced. Those
who do not have much confidence in the
present market movement are afraid that
both Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
will do no more than hold about steady
at present prices, and that consequently
whatever profit may have accrued should
be taken at this time. Naturally they are
not disposed to make additional purchases
of these securities and will not be so dis
posed until they distinct signs of re-
sumption of the upward movement
1t Is recalled that after the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific dividends were
announced last August, both stocks ad-
vanced very rapidly. Prior to the announce
ment. Of course. the street had no knoWl-
edge of the Information which had been so
closely kept by few insiders. This year
the circumstances are different, inasmuch
as no change has been expected in the
Union Pacific dividend and as Mr.. Harri-
man has given practical assurance of an
increase of l per cent in the Southern
Pacific dividend. The street a whole
is very much puzzled as to whether these
dividend announcements next week have
been fully discounted. whether they Will
impart fresh activity to the market as
whole.

1t IS easy to be seen that most Of the
spectators believe that the character OF the
general market will Be governed more by
the action of Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific than by all the other factors COM
bined. These stocks have been recognized
the leadres of the market. and those
who have been responsible for their activity
are known to represent practically the only
group of important fnanciers which strong
ly favors higher prices at this time.
1t is argued that if these interests propose
to carry the movement in Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific still further, the rest OF the
market will be relatively active for a time
regardless of monetary and other condi-
lions. unless these latter become more dis
tributed than they are now.
The street seems to be fully convinced
that at their meeting next Tuesday the
United States Steel directors will cause to
be issued statement of earnings for the
June 80 quarter which will reflect the best
three months In the history Of the corpora
ton.
Most of the estimates still range between
S43 00O, 900 and $4, 100000. 1t is not believed
by conservative interests that the petering
out of the Minnesota strike will have an
influence on the directors with respect to
their action on the common stock dividend.
Only the rate which has been paid for sew
eral periods Is looked for.

POPULATION OF THIS NATION.
The United States Increased Nearly
100000 in Six Years,

Washington, D. c. There are now
nearly 100000 more people in the
Continental United States than there
were six years ago, according to an
estimate based upon the figures COM
piled by the Census Bureau in a spe-
cial report issued recently. Accord
ing to its estimates the population of
the Continental United States in
1906 was 83,941,51O, an increase
owe 1900 of 7,946,9S5.
The population of the United
States, inclusive of Alaska and the in
sular possessions, in 1906 was 3d.
1S2,240. The growth in population
in the Continental United States from
1905 to 1906 was 1,367,315.
Computed on the basis of the esti-
mate the density of population of the
Continental United States in 1906
was twenty-eight persons per square
mile, as compared with twenty-six in
1900.
The five leading cities and their
estimated population in 1906 are as
follows:
New York .4,113,04S
Chicago 2,O49,185
Philadelphia 1,441,735
Boston 602,2T8
The report presents the population
returns for 1905 of the fourteen
States making an interdecenntal emu
meration, together with the esti-
mated population of these States for
1904 and 1906 and of the remaining
States and Territories for 1904, 1905
and 1906.
The States which took a census in
1905 are Florida, Iowa, Kansas,
Massachusetts,, Minnesota New Jer-
sey, New York, North Dakota, Ore
gon, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Wisconsin and Wyoming. In Michi-
gan the census is taken in the years

returned for these States was 26,-
263,S77, an increase since 1900 of
~1,901,572 or rs per cent. For the
remaining States end Territories the
population for 1905, as determined
by the method of estimating adopted
by the bureau, was 56,2S3,059, an in
crease over 1900 of 4,374,04O, or S.4
per cent. The population of the four
teen States making an enumeration,
if estimated in the same manner,
would be 26,204, 1852, "a difference of
only o. per cent. from the actual re-
turns.
The rapid growth of urban popula-
ton is noteworthy. The total estI-
mated population of incorporated
places having 5000 or more inhabit-
ants, exclusive of San Francisco and
Los Angeles, is 2S,466,624 for 1906,
an increase over 1900 of 3,912,1SS,
or 1873 per cent, while the estimated
population of the United States ex-
elusive of these cities showed an in
Crease of ~4,48O;0OS, or only 8.8 per
cent.
The Lightweight cities with an es-
timated population of $4,000 or more
in, 1906 had a total estimated popu-
lation of 19,771,167, an increase of
2,766,86S, or 1913 per cent. over that
reported at the Twelfth Census.

MAHoNINGTowN BANK FAILS.
Inconvertible Securities Explain Its
Inability 60 Withstand a Run.

Newcastle, Pa.-The Mahoning=
town Bank, Limited, failed to open
it's doors after trying in vain to Sc
cure funds to relieve the demands of
depositors which have extended over
the past two months. The immediate
cause of the failure was inconvertible
paper and securities.
About $4,000 was withdrawn by de-
positors, and the directors of the
bank applied to the other Newcastle
banks for aid.
Inasmuch as some of the directors
refuse to pledge their private for
tunes as security for money advanced,
the Newcastle banks felt unable to
assist them. The deposits amount
to- $4,000, the assets less than
S1O0,O00. There is nc charge OF de-
~falcation or. erookedness.

MODIFIED PLANS.
Architect of Proposed tuberculosis
Hospital Submits Changes.

Frank Miles Day of Philadelphia, the
architect of the proposed tuberculosis hos
pital for which 100000 was appropriated
at the last session of Congress, was at
the District building today. He furnished
the Commissioners with a modifica. ION of
the originals plans of the hospital in order
that it may be constructed within the
appropriation. The modification was nee
essary, because the lowest of the seven
proposals received for the work of building
the hospital was $4,000. and according to
the act of Congress appropriating the mon
ey, only $4,000 is to be used in actual
construction. the remaining $4,000 to be
devoted to equipping apd maintaining the
building.
The general architecture of the hospital
as originally planned Is not changed. the
notifications being chiefly in the material
for the interior and the elimination of a
number Of unnecessary decorations. Pos
sibly the most conspicuous change made
by Mr.. Day is the reduction in the height
Of the ceilings in the back wing of the
