 Steel common cluug near the previous close most of the day. while the preferred turned weak late in the day the lateer broke nearly 2 points on persistent re- ports the dividend was doomed.
 Reports from the steel industry set forth the seasonal decline now in progress. Dow-Jones estimated production for the country at 16 per cent of capacity, against 17 per cent a week ago. he TAmeri- can metal market made a similar estimate, adding that mills are un- able to determine whether the re- cession is due chiefly to seasonal l foreign debt situation"

During the latter month produc- ton was only 51 1,857 units in Unit ed States and Canada, against &c., 483 in September, and S1,5S2 in October, 1891. Production for the | first 10 months was 1,262,436, a. gainst 2,278,272 in 1881.

If they fail to do so today they will complete their work tomorrow.
 The Democrat is in possession of reliable information. however, to the effect that a drop in the tax rate will take place. Regardless of expenses, 1t Is understood, slashes sufficient to provide a decrease be- low the present 34-mill levy will be put into effect.
 It is possible that the 33 level or possibly something lower will be reached. This Is greater than yes- terday's prediction which called for only a quarter or an eighth of a mill drop.

Denai Conquered
 By Mountainiers

A. D. Lindley and F. Strom who recently visited in Juneau reported their trip up the peaks of Mount Mckinley. It required the intrepid pair 38 days to make the trip up the 17,000 feet of rugged mountain and 10 hours to return-the return be- ing made without sleep.
 Lindley shows marks of the hard climb having three fingers On his hands frost bitten as a result of exposure. This was a result of effort to operate a fractious camera.
 The death of two members of the Carpe Vosmic Ray expedi- tion perhaps saved the lives of the men for they would have gone over the same crevasse but for a rope which they returned to camp to get. The men broke through crevasses but the rope saved them.
 The last camp up the mount ain was 17,OO0 feet up and the last climb, the balance of 5000 was comparatively easy. They returned to their last base camp and from taht point it took them 40 hours to traverse ground which it took them 38 days to reach.
