OBITUARY.

On Monday last. Aug. 30th, 1915. the
death angel visited the home of U. G.
Summons and claimed for its victim
his wife, Stella.
Stella leaves husband, four chill
dren, a mother, two brothers, one sis
ter and host of friends to mourn
their loss. She was always kind and
affectiohate to everyone alike and loved
by all who knew her 1t is hard to real
ize that Stella's form will never more
be seen on this earth, but weep not
dear friends, for only a few days it
will seem until we all hope to be with
Stella again where parting is no more.
Numbers of relatives and friends
followed her dead form to its last rest
ing place in the Summons graveyard
at Summit.
May God watch over and protect her
dear little motherless children are my
earnest prayers that they may be al
ways as loving and faithful as their
dead mother.

trial Issues Advance.

NEW YORK. July 2s-Trading con~
tinued heavy on the Stock Exchange to-
day. with the steel stocks still the CEN
ter OF activity. Influenced by tho
strength Of the steel issues the indus
trial group generally showed a DISPOSE
tion to advance In the early trading.
but later reacted slightly when the war
81 ecialties' appeared to grow tired"
The railroad stocks, on the other hand,
were irregular and heavy.
Crucible Steel maintained its place az
market leader and esta blished a new
high record with an advance Of 13k

The other steel stocks were pro-
portfonately strong. Republic Iron

the stock has commanded since 1909.

~ points to 52A
Keeping pace with the steH secur-
tiles. Westinghouse rose IN points to
112h, or half n point above the pre-
general reaction.
Practically all Of the equipment stocks
were In good demand American Loco
motive registered gain Of N points
before the conclusion Of an hour's trad
ing; American Car Foundry. at the
same time. sold up. 2 points. and Pressed
Steel Car advanced az points. All three
stocks later lost a portion Of their gains.
Added to the favorable outlook for
the steel trade as reflected through the
quarterly statement Of the United
States Steel Corporation Tuesday, was
the announcement yesterday afternoon
by the Pittsburgh Steel Company of the
declaration Of the quarterly dividend of
l% per cent on the preferred stock,
which means the resumption Of pre-
ferred dividends at the rate Of per
cent per annum. This dividend was
deferred in August. 1914.
Despite the many statements. based
prime. .pally upon speculation. that the
Chicago, Minneapolis and st. Paul di-
rectors, at their meeting late today. will
declare the regular dividend. the stock
during the forenoon was exceptionally
weak, selling off at one time to 30.
decline Of 8 points.
Much Of the rstength in both Westing:
house and Crucib'e Steel was attributed
to an order placed with the former COM
pany for 800, 900 rifles. This brings the
Westinghouse rifle order up 10 1.s00. 900.
and il is said to have an option on an
additional order for 100000 rifles. II Is
expected that the steel for the rifles will
be given to the Crucible Company. as
was the case when the original order
was obtained.
