WESTERN PACIFIC
FINANCES IMPROVE
Gould Line Is Expected to
Stand by Itself by
1915
This Year's Surplus Likely
to Go Toward New
Construction
By CI.OVIfS A. FA
That the Western Pacific is steadily
Improving Its financial position Is gen
erally admitted in money circles. It
Is* believed that the Gould line will be
prepared to stand by itself in 1915 and
thus relieve the Denver and Rio
Grande, which has guaranteed the
.Western Pacific bonds.
Good progress is being made in de- |
veloping , traffic and the new line is
showing up well this year in its fight
to support itself. Inasmuch as this
year's interest has been provided
through the Denver and Rio Grande's
recent financing, there is a probability
that the "Western Pacific surplus will
be* applied to additional construction
and betterment. ' ■ ■■•

OCKAX SHORE ASSESSMENT , ,
The action of the Ocean Shore Kail- ;
road company in levying an assessment |
of, $2.50 per. share to buy equipment
and extend its terminal facilities has
brought forth the following comment
from the Wall Street Journal:
"One of the disadvantages of owning
stock in a California corporation is
seen in a notice just sent out by the
Ocean Shore Railroad company of an
assessment of $2.50 a share on its
Btock, the proceeds to be used, to meet
outstanding obligations, which must
be paid. .
"Some time ago the company applied
to the state railroad commission for
authority to issue $700,000 of bonds to
meet obligations soon falling due. Be
cause of litigation in which the com
pany is involved, the commission de
ferred action on the application until
the pending suits are decided. As the
company had to meet payments for
equipment and land purchases, the
assessment. was made on the stock
holders. While this action is seldom
taken by a corporation, it is provided
for by the laws of California."

ELECTRICITY IN" Oil- FIELDS
How electrical energy is utilized in
California oil fields is told in an arti
cle by A. Emory Wlshon in the San
.Toaquin Light and Power company's
magazine for April. Thirty-nine com
panies are using electricity for driv
ing 669 pumning wells. , It is declared
electricity affords a saving of from 50
to 75 per cent in operating costs.
There is another article in the mag
azine showine: how electricity is pumD
ins: water for the irrigation of the
hitherto unproductive lands around
Mendota on the west side of the San
Joaquin. - *3

C.WAXEA DIVIDEND PASSED
According to-'the'private wire of E.
F. Hutton & en. yesterday, the Greene
Cananea Copper company passed its
dividend yesterday. This action is due
in part to the revolutionary troubles
In Mexico.
* * *
Rl'Ml/EY FINANCING
There is excellent authority for stat
ing that the Rumlev company is ne
gotiating for a loan of about $5,000,000.
"which probably will be forthcoming: to
tide the corporation over until the fall,
according. to ' the private ■ wire of J. C.
"Wilson & Co. yesterday. it aonears
that after putting- out the $10,000,000
<> per cent two year convertible notes
the company borrowed $3,000,000 more
from banks, cash secured throuerh $1,

STOCK MARKET
IS DEADLOCKED
Irregular Movements and
Sagging Tendency Char
acterize Day
Some Additional Low Rec
ords Are Made by 5 Per
Cent Bonds
I-> NEW YORK, May ' 2.-^-Speculation
reached a state ;of deadlock 1 today. ! Ex-
I tensive covering having. been forced
by j the sharp :■• rise of * stocks yesterday,
the demand from this source was dimin
ished.
- Although some small gains were reg
istered in the early . trading, :no | aggres
sive efforts were! made on the long side
and the market resumed its familiar
aspects, w with narrow '- and v; irregular
movements and a"\ sagging tendency. ; ■>.'•
European markets were strong on the
Improvement in the political outlook.
; The heavy tone toward thelclose: was
influenced by the development of new
weak spots among the inactive shares.
A substantial gain in cash by the
banks -on the /\ week's operations % ■was
indicated by known movements of cur
rency. ■..'■. ■.■■;.."-■■: ■■'■■■■■• ■• ' ■•; '"' .:/.-.':. »■/..*' ' v "'■
Estimates of the week's gain varied
from 500.000 to $7,300,000, not allow
ing for "over the counter" payments on
May >I,' which may; affect the result
materially. Money rates held steady
on the lower basis which has prevailed
recently. , i>i;.,,r;>r;, "-■'. /..:'.:;..:.- i '>---■..'•%■:

the; more favorable Indications | for the
passing of the Balkan crisis were borne
out, relaxation of the European money
markets, ! which was V marked tempo
; rarily by the reduction in the Bank of
England discount rate ;to.-4H-\. per cent
two weeks ago, ■ should \be : resumed. -. ';
Some additional low records were
made by 5 per cent bonds, but the gen
eral movement was uncertain. Liquida
tion was checked in some bonds which

Hutton's New York Letter
"The stock-market"; remained dull
during today's session with volume of
trading considerably less than that of
Thursday. .. There was some ' activity
during the first half hour, with small
price changes. Brooklyn Rapid Transit
was a strong feature, and the Inter
boro 41*5 per cent bonds "showed
strength on the ! theory that ■ the market
price of. these bonds gives , a valuation
of only 150 to Rapid Transit stock,
which for v some time past has been
200 bid. Common was heavy, " bears
■ apparently selling that stock for the
I purpose of checking the advance In
the market.; •
"Advance in United States Rubber
common, which sold up to 64, was on
the belief that the annual report to be
issued in a few days will show earn
ings of from 9 to 12 per cent. ;
' •■\"e\v Haven was under pressure, and
after selling at 106 sold down to 10314,
but shortly after rallied to about , 104.
•'Canadian Pacific, after opening at
240. sold down to 238 but recovered
a large v part of its loss during the
afternoon session. j , :.
,"'■ "Foreign news was : not ; altogether
favorable, but it was the general be
lief that the situation would be cleared
up in the -very near future. The dull
ness '< of i the market -.was attributed to
the fact, : that 5 a large number of trad
ers, not caring ~~ to go § over ? the £ week
end with speculative accounts open,
had already begun evening up their
books." \'" v 'i*J ) ■ ''",'; . ,^' ! *-.

Montenegro's Threat to An
nex Scutari Brings Strong
Chicago Close
Market Ends on Upturn, but
Net Loss Is Estimated
' at W§?M
CHICAGO, May —Unconfirmed re
ports of Montenegro's threat to annex-
Scutari in defiance of the powers to
day gave a strong close to .wheat,
though prices showed a net loss, of V
to fee. Corn finished a shade up
to a shade down. Oats closed : M @ ; .'
lower to 'sc higher/ Provisions were
\at a net loss of I%€ to 15c.
i- The war situation, in Us latest de
velopment, brought nervousness to
traders and induced buying ■ 6f - wheat
that rallied prices to the opening fig
ures of the day. A considerable lower
ing of values had? taken place before
i the war scare made itself felt, the main
influence in v the depression being an
entanglement Involving export sales.
A deadlock between English buyers
and - American exporters -, is reported
over the question of payment for , ca J"
goes. A recent rule was adopted d>
exporters that payments shall he on
sight draft, but -. the English trade in
sists on a 60 day basis.... " ,
The weak tone of the wheat; mark*
prior to the final ■ upturn ; was increased
by the fine domestic crop outlook.
■V Primary receipts of wheat today were
587.000 bushels; last year 323.000: bu
shels. Seaboard : clearances of wheat
and flour equaled = 606.000 bushel?.
Fine weather made a heavy corn
market most of the day. : Near tne
close there was a : somewhat oversold
condition and prices made a .slight,
rally. Bate covering by shorts: helped
oats, which most of the day had been
weak. , J ' .*.,»„ ■
■■',■;; Speculative buying; gave strength to
provisions for a time, but values late"
eased off. partly in sympathy With
weakening of prices at the yards, and
partly by reason of a considerable in
crease in the world's lard : stock.
Mutton's Chicago Advices
"Wheat —Heavy tone in . wheat in - .
fluenced by lower cables, lack of note
worthy export or domestic merehanni'
ing demand, and rainfall In Nebraska.
Kansas and South Dakota. Some rally
from low point came late in the day be
cause of war news embodied in report
that Montenegro had annexed Scutari
and defied the powers, and because many
smaller traders -had- oversold.
Is a deadlock between . North American
exporters and United Kingdom im
porters , because the former insist un<jn
cash instead of 60. days , time on grain
sales. Cash markets meanwhile wp-o
weak in all directions. One of th"
crop experts now in the field renor ts
chinch bug damage in northern Okla
homa on fin extensive scale. - \
"Corn— Hea\-y, with popular senti
ment bearish most of the day, but th"
market ultimately became oversold aH
rallied to a shade above yesterday <=
closing level. Wheat i weakness _ also
affected corn much of the morning.
—Fine growing weather, along
with weakness ;in corn and Wheat,
counted against prices early, but as in
other-grains, the selling was overdone
and shorts covered on rallies later. •
"Provisions —Lower all around, with
trade of fair proportions. Consider
able , lack of support early, but quite a
marked improvement in demand on the
declines." - c ■ * . .....
