The technology Of the stock ex-
change is too large for full quotation.
Conversions" are the exchanges of
bonds for equivalent shares OF stock,
such bonds being called "converti-
bles." "Coilateralso are securities of
any kind pledged for borrowed
money. Pledging them Is called shy
pothecation." A "good delivery is
of certificates of stock or bonds legal
ly issued, bearing satisfactory power
of attorney on the back or appended,
and transferred agreeabiy to the laws
Of the exchange. A 'Fbad delivery"
is the opposite, and involves the
right of appeal to the committee on
securities, and thence to the COVER
nors. differences are money bal
auces paid where stock Is not trans
ferred-which seldom happens. To
lend "fiat" means without in
terest. To water stock is
to increase its quantity and
impair its quality. To "pass divi-
dend" is not to pay IL. There are
other slang phrases used in connec-
tion with the business of stock privi-
leges which is not recognized" by or
done publicly at the exchange. Priv
ileges to receive or to deliver securi-
ties are bought and sold outside the
institution. Russell Sage Is the king
operator In these peculiar trnnsac-
tions. Stock privileges are 'puts''
and "calls," or combinations Of both.
A "pup Is the privilege of putting or
selling to the one who sells it at Ger.
tain quantity of specified stock at a
designated price within fixed time
A "call" Is the privilege of calling for
or buying a certain stock a specified
price within given time. The seller
of the put must be ready to buy, and
of the call, to sell whenever called
upon. A -straddlev Is the option oil
either buying or selling; 1t combines
the put and call In one, and differs
from the spread" In that the market
price at the time of purchase
is filed into the latter
while In the "straddle" the price may
vary from that of the market by
agreement or otherwise. Tue cost of
stock privileges varies with the length
of time they have to run, the differ
ence between the prices named in
them from those current on the day
of the privileges are sold, the activi-
ty of the market and other condi-
tions, and lie from per cent to 8 per

the exception Of the shrewd operator
now SO conspicuous In the business
and possibly not even of him--are
likely TO come to grief, as thee large
majority of their predecessors have
done. The gain of the holder is de-
pendent, first on the favorable turns

why every county in Texas should

A land question is looming upl
which promises to be one of the most
important to be passed on by the
land board for some years. The Pc
cos river is the most important in the
state flowing an immense volume
of water which is uniform and con-
slant the year through. The channel
is very deep grade, but the course Of
the stream is so tortuous, doubling
aud twisting 1t itself in sinuous wind
ings and meanderings, that the We
locity which should occur from the
steep grade is modified into the aver
age velocity OF Texas rivers. In the
great volume of water and its con-
stancy, and in the sinuosity Of the
stream is included resource for fu-
ture wealth, that at the present are
simply incalculable. For this grand
river stream flows through level
valley varying In width from two to
ten miles with rich brown choco-
late soil from ten to twenty-five feet
in depth, and this rich valley is in
every acre susceptible to irrigation
from the river which gives it Its name,
by processes easy, cheap and feasible.
The Pecos valley is the garden spot Of
Texas. With a system of irrigation
contemplated in every feature of the
grand stream that flows through II,
1t is destined If properly managed to
become the center of vast population
and to be the granary of the state and
to Texas what Egyptis to surrounding
countries. II is the most valuable
part of the state, II properly man
aged, and the proper management Of
the Pecos valley lands is the most i'm
portant problem before the legisla-
ture OF Texas, and the people should
not fail to give II the most devout at
tention. Tue lands Of the Pecos val
ley, which are watered lands should
be put on the market at reasonable
prices, to sexual settlers only, and the
irrigation of those lands should be
fostered by some great public meas
ure. No syndicates, or cattle corpor-
ton or moneyed class should be al
lowed to gain even shadow ola title
to that rich domain, but every foot OF
it held sacred to the man with the
hoe, and to his descendants. To al.
low them to be scooped up in large
bodies is to swindle the children Of
Texas out of their inheritance, and to
hold them back for fabulous prices II
equally to swindle the sons of tn,
soil. The great bodies of land in tn,
Panhandle are gone irrevocably, and
there is danger that this magnificent
domain known as the Pecos vale,
will be FILTERED away, or diverted
from its legitimate purpose unless thu
people are aroused to lively sens,
of its importance. No question sp-
h proximates in Importance the prope
q use of the Pecos valley. The land
4 cannot be valued. They are beyon'
all computation. There are not want
ing people who look on the sale o
+ the capitol lands as wanton vast
of the public domain, but that grea
+ body of land was mere trihe com
pared with this new body now fore
