PRICES, WELL HELD Stock Market Is Steady, but Almost Lifeless. - W INVESTMENT DEMAND Railroad Note Issues Are Kagerly Tki X"r Money Works Kaler and Tlme Lflans : Arc Qqoted Lower. " NEW YORK. Jan. 24- Anotb.r dull and narrow market today marked the lapse of speculative operations Into the hands oi the strictly professional class of traders, the ori gin of orders approaching closer to the stock exchange a their volume decreases. Most of today'a Hat waa believed to originate on the floor of the exchange Itself. So far as the Immediate condition o( the market la concerned. It wu free today from any perceptible pressure of liquidation and where any signs of weakness showed there was the same resisting power asserted as for several days past. There were fewer signs df such weakness today than yesterday and prices were well held above lost n!shts level throughout the large part of the session. In contrast wltp the recovery late In the day yesterday from the early heaviness. Railroad note. -In Issues of varying sizes continue to come upon the market and thla continues to be -recogTilird as evidence of the difficulty In the way of. flotation of capital Issues in more permanent form. Growing notice Is attracted, however, to the avldity with which these note Issues arc sought and the quickness with which offerings are sold. In view ot th profitable terms at whlca bankers are securing these note Issues a mo tive Is perceptible for them to refrain from making easy the way for marketing aecurl tle. t Money conditions continued to work easier. Rates for time loans here yielded notably ana were quote! practically for all periods 4 per cent lower. The Bank or nsland and the Bank of france showed a. further strengthening opposition and discount rate at Berlin Yielded further during the day. The presence of the Secretary ot the Treasury 1" Wall street afforded opportunity Tor a de nial of rumors circulated yesterday that a mrincr postponement was intended of the date for return of Government deponits to the Treasury beyond Februar- 1. to which It baa bfn ilvcnccl already.

(To the Editor.)-The I graduated la.id tax an proposed by a corres- pondent in The Orefronlan ree-Lly, a a ( remedy for the evil rceuUing trom the land 1 monopoly of which he .speafcs. would certainly In a measure correct thoae evils. The wtnie ayetem was adopted in the- New Zealand ab'iM 13 year a so. with exi.-el lent rt-MUlts. IttrKO riolUingij of lund nav broken up and a U;go amount of land that wa held out of use wa ciwned up for settlement. Thl la the principal cause of New Zrttlaml'ti cor.tlnut-rl proHpt-rlty. but whllr tills fyatero Us to be commended It la not the ideal one. It rnaheu no especial difference to the land less man. whether the land U owned by one or one million men. To him. any form of land ownershlo la monopoly. I f private t w n cmh 1 1 of land can be defended from a standpoint or justice, then we have no more rlsjht to Inter fere with largo holding than with (.mall ones. But It cannot be so defended, and t hi is the raon why RraduatH land taxes are prorxifayl, and also why the i riffle tax. a proposition to raise aij revenue from a tax on land accord ing to value. Ik pronoet'd If the value that attaches to land doe so as the result of'in illvldual "ffort. then thi Individual Is eotttlt-l to such value. But If land value, are Siot thu result of individual effort, but are solely com munity value, contributed to by all. then th Individual has no rtirht to appropriate them, whether larne or small. The vacant lot industry-Is the chief Indus- try In Seattle. Lant values have increased there during the past year over 100 per cent. Manufacturing concerns have bern driven away by the niravana n t pn.-e placed uuon building sltee. Money that should have been Invested in industry to been u?ed for sptculatlon In lot". A new aristocracy has appeared there, during? the last yar. The menib.Ts are called the tide-land millionaires. Th,-e and a few thtra have appro Tia ted the values that have come to that city, not by their efforts, but through the city's growth. Value that flows to land tends to concentrate In the hands of a. tew and the distribution ot aucti value Is. not compelled as- la the case where value Hows to Industry.
