WALL STREET NOTES
Early Irregularity Followed by a Fair Showing of
 Strength.
GENERAL TONE PESSIMISTIC
Annual Report of United States Steel Corporation Considered Re-
 markable.

With a reduced volume of business stocks were irregular all of the morn- ing, with early gains followed by re- sessions of l2 to 1 point, and later by midday rally. Early in the af- ternoon stocks were fairly strong, fol- lowing the publication of the United States Steel annual report, which was better than expected. The character of the stock market changed about o'clock, and at that hour Union Pacific, Reading, St. Paul and United States Steel started to advance on heavy transactions. They continued to gain ground, reaching the highest prices of the day near the close. Re ports from the Exchange described it as a driving in of the shorts, but mys- terious rumors were again circulated to account for the sharp rebound.

The announcement that the Penn sylvana railroad, and probably cer- tain other large railroads, would make still more radical reductions in forces with a viey to offsetting the shrink age in traffic had at first disturbing effect, because many assumed that this would bring on labor troubles Rut further discussion tended to con firm the belief that the reductions in expenses could be brought about by peaceable means and that the cor poratlons in the end would benefit greatly.

The second instalment of the 25 per cent. of government deposits recalled by the secretary of the treasury will have to be paid in by the banks on Monday, and unless any of them have anticipated the payments the local banks will have to turn in about $7,000,000 into the sub-treasury on that day in addition to any payments they may have to make for account of their interior correspondents But money is still plentiful; the call rate remains at 1 34 to per cent, and time money grows easier.

The remarkable exhibit of the Unit ed States Steel corporation for the last fiscal year accounted sufficiently for tho support. of the stock last Oc- toher, and for the steady recovery since then, as leader of the stock market. It was regarded as extreme ly significant that the company was able to earn, after dividends 69.172,- 000, compared with s62,742,000 the previous year. The extraordinary ap- propriations of s54000,000 for new plants and improvements still left a surplus of s15.o0o,0oo, making a to- tai surplus s69.736,000. To-day's report was regarded as indicating be- yond possible doubt that the common stock dividend will be continued dur ing the coming six months, notwith- standing the March Il quarter will make an exceedingly bad showing.

London did very little in this mar ket to-day, but appeared to have sold sold 10000 shares on balance. For eign interests continue apathetic to- wards this market, because of the in- disposition of local interests to con tinue the advance.

So far as the bulk of Wall street is concerned, the prevailing view is still decidedly pcssilnistic. The brok- craze opinion generally is unwilling to admit the possibility of anything more than a rally on shorts. It is in banking quarters that the most en- couraging talk is heard regarding the future. The banking opinion is that with strong nomination made by the republican national convention, things will improve decidedly.

Lincoln COunty's Future as Viewed
by 0bSeFVant fastener.

John F. Ragsdale. an attorney of Au-
rora, Mo, is much interested in Idaho,
as the following letter will show. His
point Of view OF Lincoln county oppor-
tunities is so well taken, and his inter-
est in local subjects so obvious, that
his letter is here reproduced:
Aurora, Mo, jan /, 1903.
( Editors Shoshone Journal,
Shoshone, Idaho.
Gentlemen:
met one Of you at the Jerome OPEN
ing and gave you half dollar for sub
scription to the Journal l suppose it
is now about exhausted and enclose
my check for S1.0O and wish my sub
scription extended accordingly. l was
fortunate enough to secure quarter
section near Wendall, on the Twin Falls
North Side tract, and which | prize
very highly as l have unbounded con-
fidence in the future of that country;
and l say this too after having investi-
gated the claims of various places all
over the West. Men may wish for an
opportunity like that of Mr.. Perrine
when he clambered down the bluff to
the bank of the Snake river thirty
miles or more from railroad several
years ago. But l consider that any
man who has mad foresight enough to
file on Carey Act land in Lincoln county,
Idaho, now has opportunities far in
excess of what Mr. Perrine had when
he settled at Blue Lakes, on the Snake
river.
l have been very much interested in
your paper and am always glad to get
it. | have just been reading the Dec.
9th issue and was somewhat interested
in your editorial. Business, not senti-
ment. To US it sounds odd to hear of
saloon people complaining of a $500
license. Here at Aurora we do not
tax the saloons just $500 but we have
been taxing them $1,000 per year IL
cense: and since my return from the
Jerome opening we have gone one step
farther and put the saloon out of busi-
ness altogether, and that by an over
vote.
Very truly yours,
JOHN F. RAGsDALE.

A stranger came to town this week
and stated that he had looked over the

Gooding was 1T. Several hundred
others have also reached the same con-
clusion so that the new conner will not
be lonesome.

Only ONE Way TO
RETAIN HEALTH
Young Man with New Theory Says All De-
ponds on Stomach.

L. T. Coopers theory regarding the
human stomach is rapidly becoming a
topic of universal discussion. Cooper
claims that the human stomach has
become chemically deranged by mod.
ern conditions, and that sickness gen
orally is the result.
In a recent interview, while intro
ducing his medicine in a leading city,
Mr.. Cooper said: There is just one
way, in my opinion, to maintain gen.
eral health, and that is by building up
the digestive organs. The vast ma
jority of Americans today have weak,
f1abby, distended stomachs. This has
been caused by many generations of
overlooking and lack of exercise, until
today the entire civilized race is af-
fected. This is the true cause of most
OF the Ill health Of today. Little can
be done to relieve it until the stomach
is once more brought back to normal
conditions.
Il am successful because my prepa-
ration puts the stomach in sound con-
dition. and as I maintain this is the

only way to secure general and per.
manent good health"
Among many prominent people who
have recently become converted to
Cooper's theory is Mr.. e. M. Howey, Of
47h De Russey Street, Binghamton,
N. Y, who says: II had stomach
trouble for about six years. After eat
ing, would become bloated and have
a distressed feeling for several hours.
This would be accompanied by heart
burn, and coached the point where
could not enjoy my meals at all.
II tried different remedies in an eff
fort to find relief, but without success.
After taking three bottles of Cooper's
New Discovery I am entirely cured.
My stomach does not bother me in the
least, and can eat anything / like.
I can cheerfully recommend Mr.. Coop
er's medicine to anyone afflicted with
stomach complaints"
Mr.. Cooper,s medicines are making
a remarkable record. We sell them.
