as Washington tradition has it, that George and
Martha Washington walked through the recently
completed White House, to give their approval

the capital was the last one which the Father
of his Country made for 1t was only short time
afterward that he died at his country seat. Mount
Vernon.
Reference to Mount Vernon brings to mind
the fact that there Is living In Washington today
an aged man named John Lane, who Is the only
living person who ever saw George Washington.
Now inasmuch as the Father of his country died
III years ago, this may seem to be something
pretty close to false statement on its face. but
it is the truth nevertheless.
When John Lane was small boy the driver

Mount Vernon asked the lad If he wanted a ride

speculative feeling of depression which
had been growing up for some time,
and to force n precipitate decline in
prices. The influence of these factors
was held in allegiance until after the
dividend on United States Steel had
been raised to a . per cent. basis to
see whether that action would serve
to sustain the market and ward off
the threatened pressure.
When 1t was seen that selling OF
than diminished after the raising of
the dividend. the speculative tone
turned conclusively to the side of de-
preston. The inetficacy of the United
States Steel dividend action to cause
buying of the stock was due to skepti-
cism towards the official claims for
bright prospects for the trade.
The blowing out of furnaces and the
accumulating stocks and diminishing
demand for pig iron We're of larger
effect in shaping opinions of the sit
uation than We're the official claims.
This view of the iron trade shaped
sentiment regarding the general trade
outlook.
Dissatisfaction with the general
trade outlook has been gaining force
in the financial district for some time.
