Amalgamation Of Iron Interests.

Bearing to some extent on United States
Steel Corporation matters is the informa
ton which l am enabled. upon authority
exclusively to announce that plans fol
the amaigamation of outside iron com
panies-those controlling ore lands par
ticularly-are well under way, although
consummation will be delayed for some
months yet. The amalgamation will in
clude all the important independent con-
Germs. with the exception of Jones &
Laughlin, the Cambria and the Pennsyi-
yania companies. In the new combina-
ton there will be represented ownership
or control Of ore lands containing 800,
will probably represent valid capitaliza-
ton OF s25O,OtUo00. 1t will not be in any
way hostile to the United States Steel
Corporation.
1t may even be said that relations with
the corporation will be established on
such a new company will be additional
guarantee of continuing stability in the
steel and iron business. and will thus
continue the good work in that direction
already accomplished by the Steel Cor
poration. Marketwise and otherwise the
Importance Of this news cannot be ever
estimated.
Weather conditions have been almost
ideal for the crops. Ample rains are
followed by hot, forcing temperatures
guaranteeing sturdy growth to that most
important of all crops, corn, and equally
favorable to the great southern staple
cotton. Winter wheat is being harvested
and returns from the fields show that
much larger crop has been raised than
was generally estimated. This is par
ticularly true of Kansas, and herein Is
explanation of the great strength shown
by Atchison stocks. Atchison derives
large revenues from the carriage of Kan
sas wheat 1t would seem to be more
than prObable that the AtchiSOn dividend
will soon be restored to the old per
cent basis There Is also talk of it's be-
ing distributed quarterly henceforth, in
stead Of semi i-annually.
Allowing for the value of the rights
which recently came off the stock. Atchi-
son is selling very close to its recent
highest level, and it is noticeable that
when the market turns weak Atchison
does NOT yield much.
Third Avenue Leads Slumpers.
Third Avenue stock continues to be a
very sore spot, It slumps pretty nearly
all the time. The most ready explanation
is that stockholders are getting out
rather than face the payment of stiff
assessment, which, of course, has got to
be made. Nevertheless. those who are
willing TO pay an assessment of $50 or So
a share would find 1t to their advantage
so to do. AS an actual operating busi-
ness property the Third Avenue railway
touched bottom some time ago. and is
now steadily on the up grade. But many
shareholders will run away from assess
ments. Moreover, it is fact that very
often stocks assessed have sold down ma
terialiy after the assessment has been
paid In. This was notably true of Union
Pacific some ten or twelve years ago. but
those who paid their Union Pacific as
sessment and kept their stock have
reaped rich reward. This is an illustra-

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, June 26.-Trading on the
stock exchange has been quieter during
the past week. A good deal of forced
liquidation in various sections impaired
an uncertain tendency with irregular
movements. The Kaffir section reflected
the liquidation the most, the settlement
revealing topheavy bull account, in
which the carry-over facilities were con-
selling. and several firms are reported to
have been assisted.
The new issues, while continuing to
operate against increased business In the
standard securities, are not finding as
much favor as before, and the UNDER
writer's have been landed with large
proportion OF the new script which is
being held on borrow money and Is likely
to keep the market dull. Another Cana
dian loan Of about $50OOO,OO0 at 3k per
cent is being discussed.
American securities have been sub
jected to sharp, wide ard irregular move-
ments. The rumors of the serious illness
of f. II. Hartman caused depression
early in the week, especially In the Pa
cific issues while the bulls used the re-
ports Of increasing trade to advance their
specialties.

was no evidence by the prosecut- ing witnesses of any boisterous conduct by the defendants, but three men testified that their worship was disturbed by the smiles of the accused.
 Before going into the trial, Judge Lankford refused to per- nit the young ladies to be arraigned stating that the evil dence against the young men would show whether or not the offense was so grave as to de- mand placing the girls in so hu- initiating an attitude.
 The jury, a broken panel of 10 was out eight hours, and came back into court reporting that they were unable to agree. We stand nine for acquittal and one for conviction" said one of the jurors.
 'I don't know who that one jur- or is,' replied Judge Lankford, ';but I will excuse him from ser- vice The court directs that you find a verdict of not guilty"
 Judge Lankford then ordered the cases against the young lad ies dismissed and referred some other similar cases to the local justices of the peace saying that the time of the circuit court ought not to be taken up with such trivial matters.

 tied Important Case.

Conway, Jan. 2f. - A smile which overspread the counten- ance of young Herbert Blair at holiness" meeting ill Mathews township one day fast summer resulted in the division of a neigh borhood into factions and num- erous Grand Jury indictments for disturbing public worship the prosecution ending this morning when Judge Eugene Lankford took the case from a jury which could not agree and dismissed it.
 The smile at the bottom of the trouble was occasioned by an experience" to which Arthur Glover was testifying in a pray CT meeting being held at Blakford camp meeting house according to the testimony of the witnesses. Glover was intensely in earnest and during the course of hisre- marks he stated that he looked around and saw young Blair smiling at him. He rebuked the young man Wltn Scrlptural au- monition. and the incident caus- ed several other young people in the house also to smile.
 The next development in the case occurred when Sheriff w. M. Brady served warrants of arrest upon Mir Blair Ewing, Woody, George Alymine, w. F. Houston, Harry Snow and four of the most prominent young ladies i'll the settlement, advising them that the Grand Jury had indicted them for disturbing public wor- ship
 The service of the warrants threw the neighborhood in an up- roar and the community was quickly divided into factions for and against the prosecution of the alleged offenders.

Everyone seems agreed that Ketchel
will be the next heavyweight champion
some day, II nothing goes wrong with
him, and that he has a fair chance Of
winning over Jack Johnson in California
next October. Ketchel himself says that
he feels sure that ne will beat Johnson,
and he does not think that It will be
such a terribly hard job, either. Asked
II he thought II would be vie for him
TO go after Johnson with the same reck-
less abandon he displayed in fighting

Yes Why not? BIG men are always
slow with their puncIIss and any punch
that 7 can see coming viii never do me
any harm. I viii go after Johnson the

ketchel stop the negro In four or five
rounds. Stanley Is game, and that IS
more than I can say of Johnson. I am

man on the defensive. but / am satisfied
that either Ketchel or I can batter down
