Mir^apoJ's Chamber of Commerce, March 1.
JUverj!(x)l (I'd not show the weakness expected
this 101111115, but the geueial cn\d, both here
and i'j Cuicago, are so extremely bearish that
thev m,"e paying no attention to any news that
it, of bullish character. They have been &o suc
cessfi^ in putting prices down in the face of
buUia.', news that they aie optimistic in their
views end continue to sell wheat at any and all
times,
The opening was slightly easier than yestei
dav"s losing figures, and right from the start
there \7-s a 1euew.1l of the selling pressure wh.ci
put tl price down yesterday. From 79%c a
new 1 point for May, stop-loss orders began
to SIMJJ up, and added to the general weakness,
forcing the ni.uKet down to 79c within a short
lime titer the opening. The demand on th*1
break r^as light and caused but a slight rally,
buyipft against puts by scalpers and a little
eoverlM- \,y the smaller shorts being about the
Oiilj riband noted.
The ^ash demand was only fair, with offer

Jn late trading the market took on a
little fongei appearance on a better demand for

of busi.fss dene was rather small. A world of

NEW DOUBLE COMMISSION RULE CAUSES
AN ACTIVE MARKET.
Chicago, March 1.The new rule bv virtue
of which the commissions of brokers are double,
Vient into effect today and had considerable
effect In causing an active market. Prices of
wheat, however, were Inclined to be weak
chiefly because of a large increase of stocks
at Minneapolis and resorts of continued mild
weather In the southwest. A large number of
stop loss orders which were executed by com
mission houses contributed to the weakness of
the market. May wheat opened a shade lower
to a shade higher at 8iyi@81%c. and sold off to
80%@80%c, Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago
reported receipts of 472 cars, against a holiday
last week and 384 cars one year ago.
The market remained weak all day, chiefly
because of large primary receipts. The low
point for May was reached at 80%@80%c.
The close was weak, with May down %c, at
80%@80%c.

The corn market was easier because of liberal
selling by cash houses and local receipts which
were larger than had been estimated. May
opened unchanged at %c lower at 43@43%c to
43%@43%c. and sold off to 43c. Local receipts
were 299 cars, with 2 of contract srade.

ness of wheat, May declining to 42%c. The

ARIZONA COPPERS.
Another advance seems to be in store for
these stocks, as all stocks are In good de
mand at slightly higher prices, altho there
has been nothing as yet that resembles a sky
rocket advance in any way.
East Butte has taken on new life and has
made a good advance, selling up to $11 this
morning, and is now strong at $10.50 bid. This
is a good stock and will undoubtedly sell high
er. Its strength should be reflected in the
other Butte stocks, such as Butte & London,
and it will probably result in an advance in
its shares.

cause of liberal selling by commission houses.
The tone of the hog market. was firm, but
the selling seemed to exert the stronger influ
ence. Increased stocks of provisions were re
ported from Liverpool. May pork opened 12%c
lower to 2%c higher, at $15.25@15.40, sold
off to $15.05 and rallied to $15.12%. May lard

THEY RECOGNIZED THE OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED, AND ACTED
PROMPTLY, PURCHASING SHARES I N GOOD PROSPECTS WHICH
HAVE SINCE DEVELOPED INTO THE GREATEST GOLD MINES
THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.
DO YOU KNOW O ANY BETTER PROSPECT TODAY THAN OURS7
W E OWN OUTRIGHT 115 ACRES of pronounced mineralized ground in
Nevada's biggest gold campBullfrog. W are within 2,800 feet of Bullfrog's
biggest mine, the Montgomery Shoshone. The big vein that made the mine
famous with its peculiar ore that carries values running into thousands of
dollars per ton, lies in the same rhyolite that outcrops 3,000 feet across our
properties. The vein itself has been proved to within 300 feet of us, with the
same characteristic talc that no other vein in the Bullfrog has. you
believe that it extends only to that point and no further?
W E CONSIDER IT A REASONABLE EXPECTATION that the develop-
ment work now going on under the personal supervision of Gilbert E Bailey,
one of the best known mining engineers in the west, will demonstrate the
extension of the great Montgomery-Shoshone vein into our property, with
probably equal values.
W E ARE SELLING A LIMITED ISSUE of treasury stock (par value
$1.00 full-paid and non-assessable) at
subject to advance witr t notice.
