Stock Exchange Seats fall In Value; The Vanderbilt Dinner to Prince Henry; Statue to Sherman; The Crew of the Prince's Yacht. New York, March 8. Now York has always been a little jealousy of Chicago in the matter of skyscrapers, anil of Lit e years tho "rivalry between architects of Gotham and the Windy City has been unusually interesting. It is therefore disappointing to many of the builders of tall office build ings of New York that the aldermen of the city sfiould commence a war against sky scrapers almost at the very time when Chicago aldermen have decided to abolish the law regu lating the, height of buildings. In future the structures erected in this city will be limited to 200 feet. There are now many buildings that tower more than 100 feet above this figure. A bill introduced into the legislature a few years ago, having the same ob ject in view, was beaten. The board of trade and transportation is behind the present move. Under the new city charter the board of aldermen can regulate the height of buildings and the 'officials are taking advant age of their power to put in force a law which is highly favored by many residents of the metropolis. Stock Exchange Seats. iPrices of seats of the New York stock exchange are becoming cheap er. The last sold at $70,000, a drop of $10,000 from the previous sale. This is due, it is said ,to the inactiv ity of the market and the absence of public interest in stock exchange matters. 'Nevertheless, $70,000 is a good sum and it will take a good boom to run the price again to $80,- 000. 'Dinner to the Prince. One of the most Important Incl dents connected with the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia is the dinner which is to bo given to his royal Highness on tomorrow night by young Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. It will be the only unofficial function which .the prince will attend and na turally New York society is at the white heat of excitement over the event. The affair is all the more in teresting for the' reason that the friends of Alfred Vanderbilt, who in herited the bulk of his late father'a fortune, say that since the family is to be so highly honored his should be the privilege of entertaining the royal visitor since he is the acknowledged head of the house. It will be remem bered that Cornelius Vanderbilt was practically disinherited by his father a few years before the latter's death because he contracted a marriage displeasing to that party. The list of guests bidden to the event Is very exclusive and William K. Vander bilt, who married Miss Virgina Fair, of California is the only one of the Vanderbilts whose name appears among the list of invited ones. Dividends Distributed. Six millions of dollars will be dis tributed to the shareholders of lead ing corporations during the month, this being about $5,000,000 in excess of . the March payments of other years. Two corporations alone will pay $25,000,000 and these are the Standard Oil company and the United States Steel corporation. These two companies are the only two Indus trial that will distribute more than ,$1,000,000. Dividends for $G0,000;O00 for March compares with $133,000,000 distributed during January, which Is the principal month of the year for Interest and dividend payments.
