Talk OF Increased Dividend Distribu-
tiOn Accompanies Rise of Illinois
Central, Pennsylvania, and United
States Steel COmmOn-Evidences of
Recovery from Depression shown.

New York. July 10.-To-day's two-hour
stock market was one Of small volume
ana OF an altogether inert sort, even for
Saturday half holiday.
Dealings in stocks were but 166,Oo0
shares. Nevertheless. the market dull
and narrow as it was. exhibited a uni
form tendency toward Improvement. and
closing prices were higher throughout
than on Friday.
Three prominent stocks, whose strength
yesterday in a quiet and sagging' market
attracted much attention, bore witness
again to-day 70 a seeming process Of ac-
emulation. These we're the Illinois Cen
tral, Pennsylvania. and United states
Steel common shares.
Talk of Increases.
Talk OF an increased dividend distribu-
tion accompanied the advance in the first
case. The rise in Pennsylvania was based
apparently on a well-fouuded argument
that larger business now being done in
the iron and steel trade must benefit the
transportation lines directly connected
with this industry
Additional proof that comes 10 hand
every day regarding the iourishing busi-
ness IN iron and steel and some indica-
tions that the strike OF union workers IN
the shops Of the American Sheet Steel
and Tin Plate Company is on the point
Of breaking up, or at least weakening.

time Of the year when expectancy is gen
eral regarding the crops. when not infre-
quently a spring rise" in values has al
ready taken place. when the bankers
and financiers and men OF this class are
starting on their vacations. and when the
entire attitude OF financial matters Is OF
temporary pause
July, Indeed is not infrequently a month
IN which the stock market not only hesi-
tateS. but declines. and II is not impTOb-
able that instead Of holding with firm
ness at the high level Of the year. as Il
has done in the present month. II would
have receded considerably had II not
been for the current low rates for the
use Of money and the really tremendous

sight.

even II a great many people feel like
taking pTOnts under previous ventures
when money is cheap. when the crop out

This weeks evidences of such recovery
have been no less signal than at any
time in the recent past

Arbitrated,

Conversation among travellers Is fire.
quentIy absurdly trivial. After several
DAYS together us on shipboard, every
one is idle and talks about the most
unimporiant matters with the deepest
interest. X. II. Alilli@an in book ell
titled "The Jungle Folk Of Africa re-
counts with what compacency the
conclusion was reached that the thir-
teen colonies should never have re-
bellcd and that the blame waS all on
the side of England.
One man, moreover, disclosed the
fact that he always wore safety pins
instead Of gartcrS and drScantcd upon
lis preference with such enthusiasm
that lie made at least one convert
One night we put in practice the
principle of arbitration, Of which we
were all adhcrcntS. An argument had
arisen among us rs to which WAS the
more simple of the two currency Sys-
TENS, dollars and cents or pounds. Shil-
lngs and pence. At last, the captain
arriving. we decided to refer the mat
ter to him and to surrender our judg-
ment to his arbitration.
The captain. an Englishman of the
very stolid sort, after Il period Of re-
Election replied very slowly and with
all the gravity Of a Judge:
Pounds, shillings and pence Is the
simpler system, for don't you know
that when you are told the price of a
thing in dollars and cents you always
have to convert it into pounds. shil-
lngs and pence"
There was little objection to this
theory but In general it was perfectly
satisfactory so long as the voyage
lasted.

write your folks that you'll be back

The patient went off gayly to write
his letter. He had it finished and
sealed, but when he was licking the
stamp it slipped through his fingers to
the floor. lighted on the back Of a
cockroach that was passing and stuck.
The patient hadn't seen the cock
