NEW YORK, July 24.-We have had another broad stock market, but the main progress today was confined to the rails. In the industrials trading was similar to what took place yester- day and the day before, large turn over but very little progress. And it is more than likely that profit-taking by longs has been as extensive, so many new buyers have appeared, there has been so much change in the owner ship of securities, that time is now necessary for assimilation. And it is still likely that as we near the close of the week, reaction may be witnessed.
 Fundamental conditions are the same with a general tendency toward inn provement, though,so far the improve ment is slight.-JOhn F. Clark & Go.

Says Sea Gulls Are Sal
 mons Worst Enemies
Adam Brede, in Outlook.

Sea gulls, which are so well protect ed by the United States government, have long since proven 8 menace up in Alaska.
 It is doubtful if there is any place In America where gulls are so plentiful and so destructive as they are in Uncle Sam's territory on the north.
 While the sea gull is graceful and is looked upon as the sailors friend, it is a great enemy to fish: consequently. wherever there is a fishing industry gulls are most plentiful.
 The chief industry of Alaska is not mining, but it is fishing, and amounts to more than s20,Q0Q,0 900 annually,
 which is nearly three times as much as the United States paid Russia for Alaska fifty-sig years ago.
 Less than ten years ago salmon were so plentiful along the Pacific that in some waters they jostled each other out on the banks. The salmon of the Pa cifc are the most valuable fish of the United States, and take valuable place in the fishing industry of the world
 Where the Pacific salmon come from and where they go to, nobody seems to know, but everybody in Alaska knows that they are becoming more and more scarce every year, and this, the na- tiges and government officials say, is due to the fight sea galls make upon them.
 Sockeye salmon stand in first place when it comes to commercial value; then comes the humpback, or what is known in the commercial world as pink. Of course, there are other varieties, but they are not so much in demand. The Aumpbaek spawns every two years and then dies.
 The salmon run up the narrow streams and lay their eggs in sand and then die. There is considerable dis pute relative to the length of lie Of these fish, and no two persons seem to a gree upon just how long salmon live. But all Alaskan5 agree that sea gulls are the salmon's greatest enemy; that they are a menace to that territory, and that the government should take steps to have them exterminated.
 It is easy to tell whom the salmon run has commenced, as there are vast clouds of gulls screaming and flying 8 bout them and constantly picking out the fishes .eyes-thus killing millions and millions of salmon every year Alaskans say that if the fish industry is to be protected, then it is the duty of the United States government to de- clare war upon the sea gulls.
 The gulls breed very rapidly. They are hearty birds and have their nests almost within stone's throw Of the glaciers, They are not easily fright ened, and a half dozen of them will make an attempt to attack man who goes near their nests. Their constant screeching and crylpg, especially around their breeding ground, would be enough in itself to drive one away.
