STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS.

There nothing striking in the news yes
terday to account for the increase of selling
pressure in the stock market The movement
was rather the cumulative effect of the feeling
of discoura cement that has grown up during the
week to any prospect for an early revival Of
a widespread demand for securities such only
as can form the proper basis for successful
speculative operations.
considerable period of dulness and neglect
of the stock market is the clearly expressed ex-
pectation heard among habitua, operators and
voiced in the action Of the market. There is
the apprehension. also. of possible delay in the
revival of industrial and business activity in
the country. Sundry items Of information which
appeared yesterday were of more cheerful
complexion this subject than has been the
recent rule. but their purport was ignored in
the movement of prices.
The placing of orders for steel rails by some
OF the railroad companies following the deter
mination of the new type of rail promised some
revival of that important industry and the
president of the United States Steel Corpora
ton impaired the information that it
operating at between As and 90 per cent OF its
usual production compared with only sc per
cent of its capacity at the low tide in the mid
die of December. The ratio OF decrease in
gross earnings OF railroads reporting for the
later weeks Of January shows a less favor
able comparison with last years correspo ponding
period than in earlier stages of the contraction,
giving ground for inference Of betterment
in that field of enterprise Conservative opfn-
ions OF Improvement We're recorded also by the
mercantile reviews.
One special cause for some OF the weakness
that was suggested yesterday the prob
ability OF some selling out of collateral being in
progress which had figured in loans Of the trust

Lieut.. Gov. Shober was in Dead
wood last week and persuaded r..
E. Grimshaw of that city to be-
come candidate on the insurgent
ticket for secretary of state. OF
course under the primary there is
no opportunity for slate making.
1t is a free field for all candidates
and the voters make the nomina-
tions. But just to make it easy
for the voters to make the right Sc
lection, it is we'll to have "organi-
zation" you know. The term or
ganizer is much more refined than
boss. Now the insurgents have
promised Glass and Hall the nom
nations for congress. Parker must
be gotten out of the way, so Grim
shaw, citizen of Parker's own
town, Is brought out for secretary
of state. Three cheers for anti
machine politics

lar in the west. There is nothing
in it calculated to inspire greater
confidence in banks and induce
more liberal deposits. la fact the
reserve fund of the banks, one of
the elements of security to the de-
positors, is permitte d to be used as
basis for securing the extra cur
rency issue. The withdrawal of
deposits appears to have been the
leading cause of the money panic
last fall, and this bill seems to be
calculated to increase rather than
diminish a distrust, which always
results in such Withdrawals. To
the mind unframed in financial
science this bill seems to be de-
signed as remedy, and apparent
y aa Intellectual one, for possible
evil, but possesses no provision cal
culated to prevent that evil.

The Mormons are preparing for
grand invasion of this state. Two
Mormon elders arrived in Sioux
Falls last week and they say that
in short time from ten to twenty
others, possibly including one Of
their apostles, will arrive and sys-
tematic campaign will be made in
the state for converts to their faith.
They deny that their invasion has
any political significance, but the
times and the circumstances under
which they come look very signi6-
can't. Sen. Kittredge, as is we'll
known, has taken decisive stand
in the senate against the practices
of the Mormon church. Gov.
Crawford, while we do not accuse
him of personally favoring their
practices, has endeavored to make
political capital for himself by
criticizing Sen. Kittredge for vot-
ing against seating Smoot, the
Mormon senator, and has sane
toned Sen. CANDLES position in
support of Smoot. This naturally
leads the Mormons to believe that
they have a friend in Gov. Craw-
ford as we'll as in Sen. Gamble.
There is now pending in the Unit
ed States senate a resolution for
an amendment to the federal con-
stitution to prohibit polygamy and
polygamous proctices. The Nor
mons are fighting this amendment
and naturally are anxious to see
their friends seated in the senate.
