The Youths Companion for 1913

The Youths Companion appeals
to every interest of family life,
from housekeeping to athletics.
1t begins with stories of youthful
vim and vigor, with articles which
disclose the secrets of successful
play in the great games, with
charming tales of life at the girls
colleges. But The Companion
does not surrender these readers
when they have entered the more
serious paths of life. Mothers will
welcome the page for little children
and the weekly doctors article.
Fathers will find the important
news Of the day as it is, and not
as it is rumored to be. The entire
household will appreciate the
sketches which touch gently on
common foibles or caricature &C.

cern to Financial Interests.
BY THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York. Feb. 2s-Aside from new
nigh record in Panhandle, the stock
market was without important incident
to-day But the stagnstion was due not
so much to lack OF decisive opinion as to
the fear that any operator attempting
TO do anything important might start
more trouble than he could handle
Wall streets caimness is all on the sur
face. Among the things it was considered
safe to-day to discuss publicly were the
threatened coal strikes in England and
Pennsylvania. well-informed financiers
do not believe either strike viii take
eIace. Conditions in both countries are
such win make It wise for both par
ties to the controvc- ries to make COM
promises.
Earnings Of railroads reported to-day
were satisfactory. Atchison showed
gross decrease for January Of Hs4.9A,
with net loss of SIS, ,574. This means
that since July l the earnings OF Atchi-
son have shrunk S2.0ss, $50 net. Atchison
was one OF the heaviest sufferers from
the crop failure of last year, as much
Of its line passes through the Oklahoma
corn belt Canadian Pacific reported
for the third week of February q gross
since July l the gross revenues OF that
system have increased sl0.176.TS. This
has been accomplished in spite Of the
fact that 100000 bushels of wheat
were showed under, and that half Of 1t
will be a total loss.
Some interest was displayed in the
Supreme Court until 1t became evident
that no big decisions would be handed
down. Several small cases involving the
- St,o parff1r
were decided, but the big land case on
which so many millions of Southern Pa
cifc's assets are based Is still In the
Circuit Court and will not reach the Su-
oreme Court for a year or more.
The three important things in every
5ody's mind to-day-Roosevelt. Mexico,
and the banking investigation-were dis
,ussed with considerable hesitation. II
s an open secret that the big interests
are very much worried over them.
Roosevelt Is, according TO the Wall street
view, doomed to complete annihilation
as a political influence, but It is feared
hat the process Of elimination will have
% be so strenuous as TO upset business
His election to the Presidency would be
accepted as a revolution and such a de-
oarture from the landmarks as to force
1 reorganization Of every department Of
business.
Directors of the Republic Iron and
Steel Company to-day passed the quar-
terIy dividend of Ia per cent on the pre-
Gerred stock. Wall street for some
weeks has looked for a reduction from
the per cent annual rate to either 5
or per cent. and there has been a few
predictions that the dividend would be
PASSED entirely. To-day the shares fol-
lowing a recent sharp decline fell about
three points.
