000,000 of preferred stock now in process of payment does not yet draw dividends, the requirements for which would be S2 500,000 each year. It will be seen that either the or per cent dividend would leave large margin of surplus from the present rate of earnings. The opinion among the trading element today was in favor of the per cent rate.
 Union Pacific sympathized with the junior securities today This served 10 rectify to some extent the bad effect of Union Pacifics recent poor response 10 the movement in Southern Pacific, which threw suspicion on the latter move ment. In view of Union Pacifie's large holdings of Southern Pacific, and it's con- sequent profits from an increase in the latters dividend, Union Pacific was cx- pect to move in harmony with Southern Pacific. The movement was not without some influence on the general list, but nothing like the proportion that would be expected usually of such considerable market demonstration in a prominent stock. This was. partly due to the fact that there was some switching of traders accounts from other stocks into the Har- rimans. Accounts in other stocks were sold out to secure resources to put into Southern Pacific. This process was re- ported in operation in regard to United States Steel and helped to account fo- the heaviness of that stock. Yesterdays assumption that the strike of iron miners might be considered advantageous to the corporation by averting the likelihood of decline in iron prices from a glut of pro- duction, was not heard much of today This view of the case assumes so con- siderable a reaction in the iron trade as not to be relished on the long side of the market. The character of the discussion over the iron strike episode has been fol- lowed by a diminution of the talk of an intended increase in the United States Steel dividend at the meeting of directors next, week.
 St Paul showed the closest sympathy with the Harrmans and Amalgamated Copper developed a degree of late strength in compliance with the better tone of the foreign market for the metal. The Hill stocks were backward owing 70 the difficulties which have been pointed out nj the way of a cutting of Burlns- ton melon for those stockholders. Money on call continued to decline, and at the same time foreign exchange made fur ther encroachment into the narrow mar gin which divides it from the gold export point and kept that prospect in view. or the days total sales of 600 shares, 169,- 400 were of Southern Pacific and 176,0OO Union Pacific. thus Illustrating the an- evenness of the days market.

BULLISH INFLUENCE FELT

New York, July 94-The action of South ern Pacific today, which rose to 9Ol2. was regarded as strongliy eonfirmatory of the conviction that an increase in the divi- dend rate IS imminent. No official infor- nation on the plans of the directors could be secured beyond the information that the directors would be in session tomor- row, the executive committee not untll later. This information was considered to indicate that a period of speculative ac- tlvity in Southern Pacific would almost certainly intervene before dividend ac- tion shall be declared. Professional trad CTS followed the movement on this sup position very industriously. Some of the rumors used regarding the probable div idend were not content with asserting the intention to raise the rate to per cent
 but insisted on a coming per cent rate. The official estimate published last week showed a balance of s53, ,7571S6 after the allowance for the dividend on the present outstanding preferred stock This IS equivalent to about 12 per cent on the common stock of the company. The $36,

WEDDING SUGGESTIONS.

A bride who finds a spider on her
wedding dress may consider herself
blessed.
The bride who, dreams Of fairies the
night before her marriage viii be
thrice blessed.
If the bridegroom carries a miniature
horseshoe in his pocket he will always
have good luck
No bride or bridegroom should be
given a telegram on the way to church
1t Is positively sign OF evil
If the wedding ring Is dropped dur
ing the ceremony the bride may as well
wish herself unborn, for she will al
ways have LII luck.
Kiss bride right after the ceremony
and before the newly made husband
has a chance to do so, and you win
have excellent luck throughout the
year.
Should bride perchance see a coffin
while being driven to the railway sta
ton prior to departure upon her wed
ding tour she should order the driver
to turn back and start over again, or
else she will surely meet with bad luck

The first state prison in New York
state was built at the foot Of West
Tenth street, in New York city, in
1897. Within seven years there were
three mutinIes Of prisoners, In which
keepers were killed and the prison set
on fire. Nevertheless the institution
seems to have been considered an at
traction, as appears from the follow
ing advertisement of the Greenwich
hotel, printed in the Columbian Of
Sept Is, 1911:
A few gentlemen may be accommodated
with board and lodging at this pleasant
and healthy situation, a few doors from
the state prison. The Greenwich stage
passes from this to the federal hall and
returns FIVE times a day.

An inventive American engineer, Isham
Randolph, who became famous by his
work on the Chicago drainage canal
has tried this idea on the Niagara riveg
200 yards above the Horseshoe fall ana
made a remarkable success OF Il.
OF course an ordinary dam could NOT
easily be built In the fiercely racing
currents Of Niagara hurrying to plunge
over the fall So Mr.. Randolph decided
to build his dam on end on the very
edge Of the river. 1t was not meant 20
do more than raise the water level a
few inches, so as to prevent water
scarcity In winter for the Canadian
town Of Niagara Falls when the ice
jam comes on. A dam seven feet or 80
high was enough and fifty feet long.
Turned on end, this meant a column
fifty feet high and seven feet four
inches square. The clever. engineer
used concrete as the cheapest, easiest
and least corrosive material. But any
column Of any material was certain to
break In the shock of falling. How
was that to be provided fort
Easily enough, the inventive builder
argued. Up the middle Of the concrete
column, like a huge backbone, he ran
a strong iron chain weighing about 800
pounds. The whole column weighed
some 200 tons. At intervals eight feet
apart all the way up 1t along the land
ward face wooden wedges were insert
ed, so that in breaking 1t would follow
these lines and break into regular
blocks, held together by the chain. The
plan was audaclOus, but entirely prac-
tical-a true yankee notion" On Nov.
8, 1905. the finished dam was sent fly
ing over by three hydraulic jacks.
Amid the breathless interest OF a large
crowd of spectators the concrete col
umn fell, splashed and settled. When
splash and spray subsidized there Il
stretched. broken at the destined
points, tilted a trihe irregularIy in the
middle, where the river bed was high
