COMMENT ON MARKET.

/ Benjamin Woodruff. OF Post & Flagg-
THE market was strong all day, with
/ Northern Pacific and Reading leaders.
The Northern Pacific dividend meeting
occurs tomorrow, and an extra dividend
/ of 10 per cent is confidently expected. II
declared. il is difficult TO understand why
/ the road should need S90.Oo0000, and be-
fore the amount is half paid In find that
Ithey are flush enough to pay an extra 10
Iper cent dividend. On the surface, il is
| the kind Of financing which causes such
hostile criticism at home and abroad.
/ The strength I'm Reading Is undoubtedly
( due 20 pool manipulation, based on the
small floating supply Of the stock and the
I prominent position of the road in the
profitable anthracite industry There is
also the suggestion that in any readjust-
ment by next MAY, necessary to meet the
I Hepburn law. the Reading Railroad from
its favorable location, will be the chief
beneficiary. A decision Of the United states
Supreme Court is announced. declaring in
valid the employers liability act. passed
at the last session Of Congress This is
one Of the most radical Of the recent en-
actments, and the decision Of the court Is
likely to make Congress go a little slow
along such lines The Interstate Com
merce Commission annual report was also
filed. and il is noted that IL contains a
renewal Of its recommendation that the
government should proceed against the
/ Union Pacific, on account OF its holdings
| OF Southern Pacific stock Money has been
much easier, and it looks as II the mar
ket was being put up quite rapidly on this
favorable feature, with the idea Of dis
tributing stocks at d higher level

ticularly busy: their activity Will come

Pacific reached the highest price in a long
while. largely on influence OF bidding on
the curb of ~ per cent for the next
dividend. In the afternoon the highest
prices Of the day were made on the influ-
ence Of the United States Supreme Court
decision on the employers liability act
and the agreement in the Senate on the
finance bill. few more decisions like this

G.. Bowie Chipman, OF r, r. Chapman &
ICo.-"Prices started off at slight declines
from Saturdays close, but soon hardened.
Northern Pacific being particularly active
and strong at an advance Of about three
points. Most of the leading rails showed
considerable strength at advances rang
ing from one-half to twenty points. Time
money is slowly seeking a normal level.

strength shown in to-dsv'a -"arket, l am
inclined 20 the belief that D,'ore any
further advance is possible a sharp set
back is in order, and / would advise TAX

and Chickens In Great Variety.
Closes Saturday, January II.

Any one happening in the vicinity Of
the Masonic Temple yesterday was at
tracted and surprised to hear sounds that
were not unlike those that haunt the
quiet confines OF a country farm, In
stead Of the noises that are characteristic
OF a bustling business center like Ninth

The cause for all these rural sounds
was the annual exhibition Of the Colum-
bia Poultry and Pigeon Association, that
commenced yesterday and will continue
until January IT,
In the main hall Of the Masonic Temple
there is on exhibition every class Of do
the big turkey gobbler. The sounds Of
rusticity that emanate from the hall give
one the impression that there IS a barn
yard in the near vicinity.
There are 625 chickens on exhibition.
besides numerous classes OF parrots. ca
naries. goldfnches, japanese robins. ma
caws, quail, gray Java sparrowz. Euro
pean sisklns, Brazilian gray cardinals
European chaffinches, and blackbirds.
Like "a County Fair.
In another section Of the hall there are
displays that remind the casual observer
OF a county fair There are 10 be seen
incubators, poultry supplies, and every
thing that is necessary 20 run well
regulated poultry farm
Some Of the features OF rne exhibition
are the displays OF fancy chickens,
among the classes shown being Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte, Orpington, Leghorn,
Andalusian, bantam, Brahma, Langshan.
Cochin, and many others.
The pigeon classes include fantails. ia
cobins. English pouters. pygmy pouters,
blue or silver runt, tumbIers, Polish lynx
and others.
II IS expected that all the prizes will
be awarded to-day. since the judging was
commenced Yesterday and continued all
day. The list ~ exhibitors represents

Fort Worth, Tex.-Fire at Child
res, Texas, destroyed the machine,
blacksmith and boiler shops of the
Fort Worth and Denver railroad. De-
fective electrical wiring is believed
TO have been the cause of the blaze.
Sixteen box cars were burned and
several locomotives were damaged.
The total loss will reach $4,000. Two
hundred men will be thrown out of
employment. The shops were erected
in 1902 and will be rebuilt on much
larger scale.

the books of the State Library were
for some time housed.
And yet another message advises
the Legislature to accept a compro-
mise made by the Governor in regard
to public lands for which the State
had brought suit, on the ground that
the lands had been fraudulently en-
tered and sold. These lands are in
Tangipahoa Parish to the extent of
more than 5000 acres. The Governor
holds that the terms of the compro-
mise would give the state more mon
ey than it would get if it won the
suit, while there is a serious risk of
losing it. He counsels the acceptance
of the proposed settlement.
A seventh message is in relation
to some paintings that were damaged
by the fire mentioned above.
