Tbe demand from abroad, which 1 stated on good authority to be confined almost en tirely to tbe needs of the European allies, is not confined to anyott variety or grade. The run of salmon In th Columbia du--lng th early part of the week wa come what smaller than during th previous week, but the catches srs still by no means un favorable. A letter -from Euzene J.

Noticeable among the statements of tb leading lrdustrial and railroad securities of the country recently has been the fact that despite th usual and sometime Increased dividends paid, the com panics in general are showing a liber al Increase in their surplus funds. Th accumulation of surplus is Indicative of the general desires of the big cor porations to prepare for whatever lean business years that may follow. In few instances this surplus is not being Invested, but is being kept Intact In the banks. Telegraph Compaaies PMsrpwrouav---An unusual state of prosperity la shown in recent reports of the various telegraph companies. The fact of the matter is that the commercial mes sage business is now so extremely heavy that it is impossible to lease a wire in any section of th country.

While some of the "war" babies have shown rather rapid prica declines recently, it Is generally appreciated that Indust rial stocks, ever sine the boom re sulting from war orders, have dis placed the rails in speculative favor. A glance at the character of atock market trading since the outbreak of war clearly illustrates this shift of Interest. Before the war, dealings In indus trial stocks ordinarily comprised slightly less than one half the total turnover in the New York stock mar ket. Soon after the resumption of trading, following the 4 V months' thutdown of the stock market, the ratio between these two groups of stocks was practically equal. Student Oot Xoans.
