A brokerage house in Providence, II. T.,
sends the following letter 10 it's clients /:
"Thc way Is long and thousands have
dropped along the roadside and the sum-
nit still seems far away. The pathway
leads through misery and uuutterab!e
human suffering and is red with the
warm blood of the thousands who have
died that their ideals OF government
might live and spread. The ideals for
which the nations are fighting and for
which 40 many human lives a been
sacrificed and so much misery created
have served well In their own home
lands and with their W environments,
but At the boundary line OF each nation
an invisible finger has traced the edict
thus far thou shalt GO In the working
out OF these ideals within their own
borders peace, happiness and prosperity
have been the reward, But ~unhapplly
the boundary line has been crossed
the ideals have met and FLASHED and
the most hel!lsh Instruments for human
destruction that the cunning brain Of
man can create are now being used to
settle the question as 10 which OF the
ideals shall prevail. Upward
and onward to grander heights that hu-
manity has yet attained the ShadoWy
Hand will lead all the nations. Civili-
zation must advance. There are planes
to which we must yet ascend that would
stagger the imagination OF mankind
could II be revealed unto him now.
Now II you care 10 come in
and talk Investments over with us We
will tell you what looks good to us at
thah moment. Sometimes. you know,
coming events cast their shadows be-
fore"

Market

one result OF all this discussion OF the
dividend matter appears TO BE- that the
attitude or the Street has become criti-
cal ratner N eNpectant. Rather gen
era Is that whatever Is done
by the directors the effect upon the stock
market will be adverse and that perhaps
the majority of spectators Of the pro-
fessional type have been working on that
BASIS. Besides this there are "a dozen
other theories regarding the probable
market peterborough to fit any out
come or the meeting. One view Is hat
the action Of the market will depend
not so much on the dividend as upon the
showing OF earnings. IL the earnings
come up TO expectations It will not mat
ter whether or not a dividend is de-
clared. An even more extreme view
along this line IL that II a divldead is
declared II will be bearish. as II will be
regarded as al indication that the pres
cnt Is a liquidating market which the
big people wish 10 support. on the
other hand. n no dividend is declared
the market will be "a buy at once, with
the dividend as the objective OF the next
upward swing The opposing theory is
that II 10 dividend is declared or II the
dividend is anything less than the full
8 per cent. the financial community will
Immediately call to mind the recent Gary
speech In which Mr.. Gary dwelt pessi-
unsteady on the prospects for business
after the var and gave II the most bear
ish construction. The immediate pros
pect OF the market is, moreover, compli-
Gated by the presence OF a large short
interest. summing the whole situation
UP. II is fairly obvious that any attempt
10 predict what the dividend will be or
what will he its effect upon the stock
market must h" in the nature OF a guess
pure and simple.

GOSSIP OF A STREET.
The steel Dividend.

For days the steel dividend has been
the principal topic Of conversation. The
street has talked OF little else except
the question whether or not there IL
To he a distribution and what the dis
tribution will amount to. Ali OF the
possibilities have been gone over and
owe again. with sentiment blowing hot
and cold a dozen times, as opinion
shifted from confident expectations tina.
a b per cent. dividend would be de-
clared to just rs confident convictions
that there would be no distribution at
all. Runors OF internal d~,ssensions in
the board OF directors as to what ac-
ton should be taken have been actively
circulated. To make things more inter-
esting a rumor went the rounds yester-
day TO the effect that there was a move
ment among the stockholders to address
a petition TO the directors Of the steel
corporation asking for a dividend or, II
the directors decision should he ad-
verse, TO form a protective COMMITTEES
and take steps 70 force such action.
Last night there was still no unanimlty
or opinion on the dividend prospects, 80
that the weakness OF the stock during
tho past week probably proceeds from
general market conditions rather thar
from selling based on confident antici-
patlons OF what will he done AZ the
meeting n how II will affect the pub
lie mind.

The OF Merger.

ton. II might easily have been at

Is that the Associated oil Company.

The surprising feature OF the report Is

Among the many freight consign- ments which were diverted at Seward at the close of navigation on Cook h. let Is box of clothing. shoes, etc.. which was on the way to the Presby. terian mission at Anchorage. The box was sent by the Presbyterian Mission Society in Juneau and contained art
 cles. many of them new, donated by members of the Presbyterian congre- gation in that city.
 It seems that reports carried to that city by the people returning from the Cook Inlet city were to the effect that there was an epidemic Of poverty in that place and that many people would need warm clothing. The box is stored at the Sewrad dock.
