Navy dispute ends over visiting card rank
Secretary of the Navy resolves a long running dispute with Rear Admiral Upshur about using the words rear admiral on the chief constructor’s visiting card. The department holds that the bureau chiefs have actual rank of rear admiral for the time in office, though titled differently. The issue is deemed one of taste, with no formal action required.

The piece discusses copper consumption driven by tiny brass items and its price rise, then shifts to Wall Street shifts on Union Pacific and Great Northern stocks. It contrasts American dividend practices with European norms, arguing for a stable, low fixed rate to curb speculation and reveal true company value, citing American Sugar Refining as a leading example.
