The dividend paid, which is 10 per cent

BULLS AND BEARS

From the. character Of the rumors that
one hears in every active discussion Of
the stock market by professional oper-
| ators 1t is easy to see which speculative
element is now in the saddle. OF course
the rumors with respect to the position
| of banking institutions have been most
frequent and apparently most malicious
within recent days. but railroads and in
dustrial corporations have been attacked
with less severity. For instance, Satur-
| day, when the Rock Island ISSUES. in
company with the whole market, were
weak, 1t was claimed that the ba mixing
interests which have the matter in charge
had announced that the block of Rock Is
land bonds which they took recently were
fering.
AS matter of fact. the bankers never
made any such assertion. and. of course.
they would not have continued their ad-
vertisement of the bonds for several sue
| ceeding days If the securities had all been
disposed of on the first day. All that
the bankers have claimed or authorized
in the shape of an announcement is that
the bonds have been steadily taken by in
vestors from all parts of the country. and
that the sale was progressing very salts
factorily. Consequently. 1t developed that
the rumor regarding the Rock Island bond
offering was absolutely without founda-
ton, and probably If the truth were made
public 1t would be found that no one knew
this better than the original perpetrators
of the rumors.
Conservative interests said again yester-
day that there is nothing in the situa-
tion at the moment to bring about higher
prices for stocks except those entirely in
the investment class They believe, how
ever. that bonds. at least those of the
best character, will steadily advance on
continued buying by investors. 1t may be
true that some of the leading operators
would not be at all opposed to the estab-
iishment OF a fresh short interest In
stocks.
At any rate. the professional element is
now operating for fall in prices, and 1t
is believed that this movement will not
meet with stubborn opposition unless the
downward movement should become too
rapid and pronounced.
*
Railroad officials and the managers of
some of the largest industrial corpora
tions say that there Is very little change
In the traffic and business situation. They
look for a continuance of inactivity for

Daring Rescue Of Schooner's Crew
of Bermuda.

HAMILTON. Bermuda. February A.
Details of the abandonment at sea of the
four-masted schooner Mary L. Newhall
of Bath, Maine, were brought here today
by the steamship Bermudian from New
York The schooner left Tampa for Nor
folk on January "a. and met with a
succession Of gales. On the NTH day out
she lost her rudder, and all her sails hav-
ing been blown away, the vessel became
unmanageabIe. When 40 miles northwest
of Bermuda on Sunday afternoon the
schooner sighted the Bermudian and the
steamer stood by the distressed schooner
until the next morning.
AT midnight Sunday in tempestuous
sea a boats crew of five men under J. +.
Welsh. second mate, put of from the
Bermudian to endeayor to effect the res
cue of the Newhalrs crew. The boat was
schooner and partly smashed and had to
give up the attempt for the moment.
Welsh succeeded in getting back to the
Bermudian without loss of life.
At daylight of Monday Welsh made
another effort to take of the schooner s
crew. but the seas were still too high
to allow Of a close approach. The men
on the schooner were directed to plunge
into the sea. and they were rescued from
the water with life lines thrown out by
Welsh and his men. The exhibition of
dauntless courage by the boats crew
was watched with breathless interest by
who testified their appreciation of the
galIantry of the men by subscribing $3.50
| for them. OF this amount $50 goes to
| Welsh, young Nova Scotian.
The Mary l.. NeWhall was of 1,Oi2 tons
| and carried q crew OF ten men.
