Northern Pacific, as it uns very much com
plicated by the number of options sold.
In the local market a generally better
tone was shown in all departments. It
seemed to bo the general belief that the
liquidation over the panic culminated on
Wednesday, and the expectation ofa good
bank statement stimulated quite a little
bus ins. Commlsslon-houso business was
rather small, but showed signs of Improve
ment, and there was fair market evidence
that the bis people, particularly the Van
derbllt following, were on the big bull side.
Sonar Advanced.
Sugar advanced on the report that the
differences in the trade had been arranged
by Arbuckle's controlling cofTee, while the
American Sugar Company took the prin
cipal position in Sugar. The strength In
New York Central was largely based on the
bull attitude of the Vanderbllt people, and
this was reflected In Erie and the gran
gers. A good deal was expected from the
fact that the Vanderbllts were known to
bo large holders of Union Pacific, and be
lieved to have recently bought more.
All tho industrial stocks showed more of
less strength, and there was an Improving
demand for United States Steel. Insiders
who had not been particularly bullish in
the recent past, were reported to have
bought a good deal of stock. International
paper was well bought on the reports of
large and improving earnings. Southern Pa
cific advanced and there appeared to be
very little stock in the market. The story
of a 3-per-cent .collateral trust bond In ex
change for the minority stock was revived
and advices on Yhe earnings were very
good International Power was well bought
and the report that President Callaway of
New York Central would accept the presi
dency of the new Locomotive Trust to be
formed gave a good line on the source of
the recent buying. It Is expected that In
ternational Power will go into the combina
tion on very favorable terms!
The uneasiness about money seems to be
Bretty nearly over, and at 354S4 per cent
i spite of exports of gold may be regarded
as cheap.
T00, advance of the day was well main
tained up to the close, and It was 'notice
able that the more speculative Issues were
active, and In good demand. The tone In all
departments was good and the miblic in
terest in the market la reviving. Money
touched 5 per cent, but most of the busi
ness was done at 4 per cent. The volume of
trading was fairly maintained, although,
of course, not nearly so large as during the
recent excitement.

STOCK AND BOND
MARKET GROWING BETTER.
The Market Was Stronger and De
mand Much Improved.
sionxisi; session.
Things looked more cheerful on the Stock
Exchange, the market showing every up-
rcaronco of haling recovered to somo ex
tent from tho depression of the past day
or two. This was shown In the fact that
thero was more disposition to support and
less to deptcss prices of certain stocks, and
In a number of cases they were Btronger
and higher. A notable Instance was to be
seen In . United Hallways, especially the
stock, which was not only In much bettor
demand, but showed a good, strong under
tone from tho opening to the close of tho
market. The dealings were not heavy, but
this was more the fault of sellers rather
than buyers, as thero woro good buy lne
orders on the market. Sales were largest
in Transit, being 75 shares at SH.&0 and SO
shares at $24.75, with $2150 bid and $24.75
asked. Fifty shares of preferred sold at
$77.75 and a small lot of 7 shares at $78, and
$77.75 was bid and $78 asked. Thero was
not much of a demand for the bonds, and
aftor one had sold at $S0.75 there wero sell
ers at that, and $89.50 was bid.
There were both weakness and strength
shown In the market for trust stocks yester
day, but more of the latter than the for
mer. A particularly strong market was
had for Mississippi Volley, which was bid
up $6 per share from $350. at which It
closed tho day before, to $35S. and was of
fered at $357.50. with no sales. Another
strong stock was Commonwealth, which
was salable at $C53, but none offered. Lin
coln was a shade Weaker, being offered at
$233. with $232 bid, lifter 15 shares had sold
at ilrst-namcd price. Mercantile was de
cidedly weak, 10 shares selling at $317.25 and
SO shares at $317.50, the close being at $317
bid and $318 asked.
Bank Btocks, as a rule, were quiet, but
tt the tame time so well supported that
prices remained unchanged, and In some
easea were Just a shade stronger. Titers
were no sales. Bank of Commerce was
steady at S2SS bid and 12S3.50 asked. Conti
nental was salable at $216. Third National
was wanted In a small way at $209. and
$209.50. and was offered at $211. The market
for State National was $1E0. sellers, and for
Mechanics' National 523J.W, sellers, while
$203.50 was bid for Boatmen's and $201,50
asked. St. Louis Safe Deposit was better
at $138 bid and SltO.Usked. , ,
Missouri Edison 00 were unchanged at
$95 asked, the preferred stock; being quoted
at $55 bid. Brewery bonds were weak at
$38.75 asked and $98.25 bid, but American
Central was In demand at $49, but held at
$50 CO. There was also a demand for La
clede Gas common at $S1 and preferred at
$98.
Mining stocks of all descriptions wero
dull and neglected, the only one to attract
attention being Granlte-Bl-Metalllc, 100
shareB ot which sold at $2.20. but which
closed at $2.22M asked and $2,174, bid.
AFTEIISOON SESSION.
There was not much to the afternoon ses
sion, brokers apparently being poorly sup
plied with orders to either buy or pell. The
undertone of strength shown early in the
day still existed, however, and was one of
the bright features of the situation, though
there were no Important changes in prices.
There was no market made for United Rail
ways' 4s, but a noticeably good demand was
had for the preferred stock, which was
very much stronger at $78 buyers and at
which 123 shares sold. Transit or common
was In more, quiet demand, but early prices
were pretty well maintained and the market
closed at $24.25 bid and $24.75 asked.
With the exception of a slight advance In
Mississippi Valley, which was in demand at
$356.50, and held at $358, there were no
changes In local trust stocks of particular
significance. Mercantile was bid $315 and
offered at $317.50, which was slightly lower
than at the morning session, but Lincoln
and Commonwealth were unchanged and

$300,000 Will Be Issued at
Credited to
This $300,000 of stock Is based on one hundred acres nf laud located four miles south of tho gushers, ten acres
one and three-quarters miles northwest of the gushers, mid one hundred acres four miles northwest of the gushers.
There are ISO or 40 derricks In sight of the ten-acre tract, anil all this land is In the proven oil district. In addition to
the 210 acres of leaned lands aliove mentioned, this company owns in fee simple 30.000 acres of land In the recog
nized oil district of Texas. We have four up-to-date well-drilling outfits that we will put in the field by June 1 and we
are going to develop these lauds nonce. The titles to all our lauds have been passed upon and pronounced good by
Duncan and .lone., attorneys, of Tyler. Tex.
Weown the perpetual mineral and timber rights In all these lands, and If no oil is found outside the proven dis
trict, the company cnn still sell Its fee simple lands for farm, stock and fruit-growing purposes, together with the timber
thereon, for the amount of the $.'100,000 stock to be issued at this time, less a reasonable deduction of. say, from 20 to 25
per cent, which will be spent In drilling wells and developing the oil and mineral rights of the property. A portion of this
stock is offered to investors at par. Three hundred thousand dollars Is all that' will be issued at present, and every dollar
of this goes for the purpose of purchasing tho lands, developing them and obtaining the leases. The seven hundred thou
sand dollar of treasury stock will not be used for any purpose, except the acquirement of additional lands, obtaining ad
ditional leases, the purchase and equipment of refineries, smelters, laboratories, pipe lines, etc., and all expenditures
from this fund of treasury stock will be under the supervision and control of the Board of Directors.
In a nutshell, our proposition Is this: If we strike oil or minerals in paying quantities, here is our profit. If we do
not strike either oil or minerals, our 30,000 acres of fee simple of land is worth at least 75 per cent of the money w
started with.
Do you know of any other company that can make this statement? For further Information and particulars ad-

was rscelved by D. H. Francis, Bro. A Co.:
New Tork, May 17. London cables reported a

a marked disposition to buy American stocks,

There was some continued buying for Invest

stock. Apparently this Imestment buying latha
largest part of the buslners of the regular commission-houses
on the street. Chicago was a gen
eral buyer on a fairly larg scale, and Vasr

Buying of American Tobacco was considered of
tho best character. F. V. Savin & Co. took 10.
000 shares In the first hour, and In the after
noon Coppe & Doremus were heavy buyers. There
was news In regard to tho property, but there
wa. a good deal of talk about earnings and
about closer relations with the Continental Com
pany. American Sugar was bought In early In the
day by A. A. Housman & Co. and T. J. Taylor
& Co apparently on Western reports that set
tlement In the coffee war had teen arranged
with the Arbuckles. At the same time, the buy
ing may have been on Information In regard to
the dividend to be declared early la June.
International Power made another advance to
day to tho highest price on record. There was
urgent buying ot the stock following the an
nouncement of the resignation of President Cal
loway from the New York Central to assume
the presidency of the American Locomotive
Works, which has acquired the locomotive plant
of the International Power Company. Ths buy
ing of the stock was by prominent railroad In
terests, and was also connected with contracts
made yesterday for the construction of the
largest stationary steam engine plant In the
West to operate all the street railways In Dea
Ter. International Pomp was strong, and advanced
sharply on the action of the directors yesterday
In putting tbe stock on a 4 per cent dividend
basis. The favorable report for the yeer also In
duced buying of both common and preferred
stock.
