ferrous Purchase Along

OF tract IF land bordering on the
Potomac river and Goose run. which
was sold recently to a New York brok-
or. According to advices received from

The property ia question contains
about 100 acres Of land. Although the

ton IN New York
Market.

Business in Washington securities
during the past week was quite active.
II was plainly evident that the banks of

the returns from dividends and interest
on the local traction shares were in

The higher range Of prices has evil
IDENTIFY been an inducement to many
investors who have good profits on their
purchases to get out Moreover the
trend Of the New York market has not
been without its effect on the local
market.
The delay in reaching an understand

THIS WEEK WILL BE

Severe Declines on Produce

According to local market men. Wash
ingtOn's birthday will be followed by
a severe decline Of prices in all pro

market being closed today and tonor-
row. during which a heavy supply viii

This will give rise. in all probability.
to very unstable market for several
days. as It viii require some time for
supply and demand TO again adjust
themselves on a normal basis.
From all indications, the present week
will be a good one. from the standpoint
Of the retail buyer and the house
keeper With the exception of turkeys
and chickens, there should be no cur
tailment Of supply IN any division OF
the market. 1t is believed that but

NEW YORK. Feb. I.-He must in
deed be a prophet who would attempt
TO predict the action Of the stock mar
ket in the next few days With such
a closing as the market had yesterday
il must be admitted that conditions are
mixed. For days and weeks the gath
eTing storm has been whirling around
the steel stocks, independent, and trust.
and yesterday it broke with upheavings
that hurt and that forced many hold
ers of these shares TO put them on the
market-eIther forced or induced.
No one knows just how deep the cut
will be, nor how seriously it will affect
the steel and iron trade. But il had
TO come as a means of assuring the
would-be buyers Of the products Of the
steel mills that there would be no seri-

had been placed on the statute books.
This was the assurance that the rail

fort the best that might be possible after
The tariff law had been enacted, neglect
Ing roads and equipment, and they had
to be protected before they would place
orders, protected against cuts in prices
that would make them look foolish for
buying in advance OF the enactment.
Now they are protected" Il is quite
probable that there will be a large in
crease of orders in the immediate future
and perhaps the aggregate OF small

Among other noted democrats in the

more. When questioned concerning
the probability Of being the democratic
candidate for governor, he refused to
issue any statement as yet. He would
await developments, he said. He too
was inclined strongly to believe that
democrats would be in the majority
in the coming political fight. He
stated, however, that he did not come
TO Oklahoma City to talk politics but
to meet an old Kentucky friend OF
his, Ollie James. the Wednesday ora
tor of the day They were schoolboy
companions back in Chittenden coun-
ty, Kentucky, and after lapse of
nearly forty years, they met again
