favorable news seems also to have lost
it's effect. 1t must be admitted that
the favorable influences are some
what hidden and difficult to discover.
Cheap money is perhaps the strongest
support at present afforded the mark
ct. Funds are abundant at low rates
when compared with what good Sc
curities are returning, even at pres
ent market prices. There is every
prospect that money will remain
cheap and abundant for some weeks
to come. The only important specific
influences affecting the market were
the fluctuations in Union Pacific and
the unfavorable reports Of earnings,
Offset on the other hand by the fav-
orable reports concerning the United
States Steel Corporation, which show

though the latter has fallen somewhat
below expectations and conditions do
not seem entirely favorable for the
further placement Of new issues.
Large investors are holding back
either for more favorable outside con-
ditions or for better terms. Small in
vestors are feeling the pinch of the
times and as a rule have less money
than usual for investment. Neverthe-
less, were conditions more favorable
new offerings would undoubtedly be
put out and taken with more freedom.
Investors are wisely insisting upon
safety, hence there is more than ordi-

selections, but high grade bonds pay

Henry Clews' Letter

New York, Jan. 16.-The destruc-
ton of the Equitable building by fire
had marked effect on business in
the financial district. In the safes
and safe deposit vaults of this build
ing between 100000, 900 and $1,000
O00,e0o of securities were placed for
safe keeping. A considerable proper
ton of these securities were being
actively dealt in each day, and their
temporary locking up in involuntary
escrow would have meant serious
complications had it not been for the
prudent action of the Stock Exchange
Governing Committee. AS it is, the
marvel is that so great a catastrophe
in the financial district could take
place with so little positive disturb
ance in financial affairs. That it did
not create serious arrangement is ex-
celent testimony as to the efficiency
of modern financial machinery. The
building contained a vast amount of
records and documents, the loss of
which will prove a serious inconveni-
ence to corporations, lawyers and in
dividuals, and yet the disaster will
canse no serious loss outside Of the
destruction of the Equitable property.
The destructiveness of the fire was
almost foregone conclusion when it
is remembered that probably no build
ing in the country contained such an
accumulation of infammable material
in the. form of Libraries, documents,
furniture, etc, which had been accum-
ulating for the past thirty years or
more.
The stock market apparently re-
quires some stirring influence to lift
! 1t out of present inertia. Good news

Bowels are Basis
Of Child Health

The careful mother, who watches
closely the physical peculiarities of her
children, will soon discover that the
most important thing in connection with
child's constant good health is to keen
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
hte. restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bfiity and dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child teaspoonful of DR.. CALDWELL
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night If
necessary--more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover its accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.

DAWSON GETS
 AUT0M0B|LEROAD Dominion Government to Improve old Thoroughfare and Mako
 Good Road

John X. Miller, a Dominion gov ernmcnt engineer, arrived ill Dawson recently from White horse, to examine the overland route between Dawson and White
 horse, to report to Ottawa on the
 advisability of granting a special sum for the construction of an automobile road between Dawson
 and WhitehOrse. MT. Miller be- longs 10 the department of public works, and has his headquarters
 at Prince Rupert, under MT. Hall, engineer for'the Northern British Columbia & Yukon division.
 It is estimated by those famil- far with the Overland route that an automobile road between Daw-
 son and WhitehOrsc this place
 would be twice as near the out side in the winter as under present winter conditions. Automobiles, it has been demonstrated, can travel in Yukon in winter with lit tie, if any, difficulty. The use of automobiles would not only clim- inatr time, but be great saving in maintaining service. The item of feed and horses would be rIim- inatrd.
 If is said that. with the over land road, Yukon would not only benefit from the rapid winter mail. but would have much earlier connection by steamer in the spring. The road would br ser vicrahlr after the SnOws diSap- pear. the same as the creek roads about Dawson. thus rendering il possible for automobile. to car ny the carly nnrlhbound passcn- gers to rSlkirk, this side of Hell I;ato. the last point on inc en- tire river to open each spring.
