Dunbar were the founders. and as 1

early in the summer of 1870.
"As I recall it. Mr.. Sloan was the
editor and a large portion of the local

1T was not till many years later

here it stayed till in recent years it
moved back to Main street, and finally,
as the present age knows, to its fine
new home.
No Blaring Press Agents.
What connection do / recall be-

earlier days? Well, as l remember it,
there was not a very close connection,
but there was always a great deal of
courtesy and the kindliest feelings.
There were no blaring press agents
going ahead to advertise the drama,

the owners and proprietors of The

MuIvey Has Been Making General
 Inspection.

Joseph J. Mulvey, superintendent of sewers, reports that the city sewer sys- tenn is in good shape. With the excep- tion of Meadow street break, and the broken bulkhead at the City Point dock, there are no breaks in the sys- tenn. Since his appointment, Superin- tendent Mulvey has had a force of about twenty men busy on the city sewers and cleaning out the traps. The cold weather of the last two days has necessitated let-up on the inspection work
 Superintendent Mulvey says that he is hoping to get at that Meadow street break by the first of the week It will cost about $500 to repair the damage al that place. The work cannot be done on the City Point bulkhead until City Engineer Kelly has inspected the dam age.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
The morning journal-courier., 1908-02-01

While sentiment in Wall street was quieted by the steadiness of stocks during the greater part of the day, this was generally regarded as being due to support by prominent interests, and there was a disposition to hold off for the time being, to await the setback which sometimes comes after crop of failures and other bad news. The pop ular view was that the only important factor to induce buying of stocks at this time is the steady inflow of cash from the interior. which will naturally call for the use of the expanding bank reserves in one way or another-natur- ally by way of investment in standard securities. As opposed to this argu- ment as a reason for putting up stocks, some contended that the railroads and other corporations would require great deal of new money for extending maturing loans, and otherwise, and these requirements would ''eat up" most of the money which is now com ing this way

Atchison's S report for December show ing an Increase of s1s3.4s7 in gross and a decrease of only s30s,o43 in the net was regarded as favorable under the circumstances. For the six months ended December 31 its gross showed an Increase of s2,ss6,s1s while it's net for the same period declined sS,56S,53s.
 The demand for bonds, on the board was again confined to semi-speculative Issues. Along with the rise in stocks this class of securities advanced and there was considerable more activity than yesterday. Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit As and InterMet 1-2s held up well. A new feature was the heavy demand for Colorado Southern 1-2s, which rose 1 l-2 points.

Prospects of another good bank statement tomorrow did not induce any buying of stocks. The discouraging news of the week has temporarily put an end to the desire of traders to do anything in the market until the out look is clearer: That the demand from investors for bonds has been satisfied for the moment is the current belief.
