It is a good thing to be endowed at

FINANCE AND TRADE
Demonstration of Great Strength in
 inc Stock Market.

New York, Dec 28-CSpecial) )-Tht new activity and buoyancy that have developed in the market for two ol three days ron to astounding propor- tiOns today. Transactions in stocks aggregated within a few thousand shares of the banner day, December 13, when the total reached 918,O0C shares. Coupled with the heavy trad ing was buoyancy of the most pro- nounced kind, advances of from 1 to per cent being common among the ac- tive issues. It was a sensational mar ket, made up of sensational move ments in conspicuous shares.
 Professional traders who, with arro- gant bearishness, have been loudly pro- claiming for some time past that they were going to have a joyous holiday season at he expense oe the bulls found themselves well 'thrashed today. They lost their slight hold on the market and were stanpeded into 2, covering move ment that was partly responsible for the markets persistent advance. The talent of the stock exchange took up the bear side a fortnight or more ago, and although finding progress on that side impossible the professionals have clung to their commitments in the hope that the customary ante-holiday Hqui- datiOn would bring about substantial declines. But instead of looking upon the holiday period as dangerous, in stead of selling out their long stocks, the public has gone on buying with stronger confidence than ever before.
 Several developments of the day proved favorable influences. The divi- dend rate on Denver and Rio Grande preferred was advanced to 4 per cent. There were intimations in high quar- 1e JI I Doo Ro in the near future. The Union Pacific Alton deal was currently reported closed. Steel trade interests continued aggressively bullish. on the steel stocks. In many quarters strong interests seemed to be renewing bull operations in their own stocks. most encour- aging feature was the ease in money, coupled with a weak exchange market. Most of the call loans of the day were made at 2A per cent against 21a per cent on Tuesday Ninety-day money was offered lfberally at 3 per cent.
 Low-priced stocks were more con- spicuous today than they have been in the present upward market movement. Chicago Great Western issues, the Col orado Midlands, Colorado Fuel and Iron, Denver and Rio Grande common, Bay State Gas, the Iowa Central stocks, Texas Pacific, Central Pacific, Southern Pacific, Leather common, Tennessee Coal and Iron and many others selling considerably below $50 per share were comparatively largely traded in, and in most instances showed much strength. What was most significant about their now conspicuousness, however, was the character of the buying of them. Sev- eral of the larger interests seemed to be shifting their stock market opera tions from the higher priced standard shares to the cheaper ones.

SPANISH GUNS OF LITTLE USE
Thos Taken During the War
 not of Most Modern Pattern.

There has been some speculation as
 to what disposition the navy depart
 ment will make of the modern guns
 captured from Spain during the recent
 war. It has been generally understood
 that the obsolete ordnance would figure
 only as souvenirs for distribution by the government to states and munici-
 palities, but there have been quite a number of serviceable modern cannon,
 mostly naval guns, captured at Santi- ago, Manila, and elsewhere. It is stat ed by the department that these guns are not likely to form 9 very valuable asset The 4.7-inch guns from the Maria Teresa, the Fizcaya, and the Co., lon. several of which are now at the
 Washington navy yard, are not the most modern type of this weapon. They are different in calibar from any guns ill the American navy except those of the New Orleans and the Albany, now being completed abroad. The 6-inch quick-fring guns captured also require special ammunition, not being adapted to our 6inch shells, so that, except in case of accident to one of the guns of the New Orleans or Albany, there would be small likelihood of getting any of the captured ordnance into ser vice. The question of boring out the captured guns to the next higher cali Der was considered, but rejected as re- ducing too greatly the factor of safety.
 There is on hand quite a supply of ammunition for the peculiar armament of our two adopted cruisers, and it is thought by the time this is used up this country will be in position to supply them with all of the sort of ammuni- tion they need.
 It is interesting to note that the new guns being planned for the navy will conform in certain material respects to those of the New Orleans, which was classed by all the officers who saw her in action during the war as marvellous ly Guick-f1ring, hard shooting piece of naval architecture. Her guns are all ''50 caliber long" that is, the barrel is fifty times the length of the diameter of the bore. Our standard has been 40 caliber, but the longer guns seem to bear about the same relation to the shorter, as the .45 caliber rife does to the revolver of the same bore. It is this peculiarity of the barrel guns that develops their remarkable muzzle ve- locity of something like 800 feet The new guns planned for our navy are ex- pected to develop about 5000 feet ve- locity. It is expected that this new additional penetrating power, will make it an even more terrible weapon than that demonstrated itself to be in our two memorable actions with Span ish f1eets.-Washingto Post.

that n m2ttsr Her land has never been eurTsyed CT her cattle countsd About fifteen years ago, the palmy days, near | ly a quarter million cows, bulls, year lings and calves roamed on prairies of Santa Gertrudes; there are probably not more than half that number at present
 The yearly shipments from the ranch are about 30,000 head, and the net proceeds from their sale range. from $400, 900 to one-half million dollars. Be sides the cattle there are 10000 head of sheep and 1000 saddle horses. Mrs. Kings ranch is divided into about a dozen districts-call them counties, towns, baronies. what you will. Each has it's lord, and over all is Mrs. King s general management.
 In his own domain each boss Is Su- preme. He seldom has orders to obey except at branding time and when shipping orders are sent. He employs hands, rules the round up, controls his own village.
 The village in each section is clus- tered round the residence of the boss, who is generally a married man of ma ture years, with many years of experi- ence, and around the school house and the church built by Mrs. King
  painted, but roomy and comfortable and not destitute of luxuries. Around them are barrack-like buildings for the cowboys. huts for Mexican laborers and stables for the saddle horses.
 About 1000 people, laborers and cooks, work on the Santa Gertrudes ranch, nearly 100 at each of the little villages.
 The system of government is pater- nal-perhaps maternal is the better word. All the employees are furnished with food, medical attention and lodg- ing and all the necessaries Of life ex- cept clothing, and the horses. saddles and brides used by the cowboys are the property of Mrs King
 It is a benevolent despotism. There is neither crime nor poverty in the realm. For any injustice there is the right of direct appeal to the mistress of the domain. And thus it is that all goes well with the Santa Gertrudes.- New York World.

UNION PACIFIC DEPOSITS.
Treasury Department Calls on Ma
 tional Banks for Payment

New York, Dec. 28-National banks l of this city which were designated as special Repositories for the money de- rived from the sale of the Union Pa cific railroad received today 3 treasury department circular calling for the bal ance of the sums deposited. The cir eular says in substance that the treas ury department intends to close the special account, and will proceed to cover the amounts into the United States treasury in ten weekly drafts, the first to be made today, and every week hereafter until the balances are exhausted. It intimates that any bank can pay all in one payment, and says that the security books deposited in the treasury may be withdrawn to core spond with the reduction in balance.
 The reduction in these special Union Pacific deposits began January 26 last, but to guard against tight money, It was suspended when there remained on balance about S11, ,500,090 The com ing drafts take about $1,500,000 a week, but, although January 2d next will pc a busy money time with the paying out of about S130000, 900 interest and divi- dends, inanciers were Of the opinion today that the situation would adjust itself after day or two of stiff money rates. The National City bank holds the largest Union Pacific deposit, about $7 300, ,000, but it has deposited with the treasury nearly $22, 800, 900 in United States bonds as security.

A WOMAN OWNS IT ALL
Mrs. Kings Cattle Ranch is the
 Greatest in the World.

The greatest cattle ranch in the world is owned by a woman-Mrs. Richard King. She inherited it from her hus- band, who was once barefooted, pen niless boy Of Orange, N. J. He driftsd to Texas, met prosperity and compelled success. His widow is there known as the cattle queen of Texas. Sometimes they call her empress. Her empire is variously estimated at from one million to one million and a quarter acres. Up on the more generous estimate it is as large as Delaware and nearly twice as large as Rhode Island
 It would hold, ten times over, all Greater New York, from these marshes of Far Rockaway to Tottenville, s. l., and to the Yonkers line.
 It is ruled in almost imperial fash ion by it's owner. As her tract covers a great part of two big Texas counties she is within it's borders practically the civil law. She does not vote; she com mands voters.
 When Richard King ran away from his home in Orange he began life as Mississippi river cabin boy He be- came pilot like Mark Twain, fought Indians in the Seminole war, served on quartermaster's vessel during the CdDLaln a Rio Grande steamer.
 Captains don't usually turn into sue cessful farmers, but King was an ex- ception to all rules. Nueces and Cam eron counties were then given over to scalp collecting red men and shiftless greasers. He bought land for a song, and in 1852 began the Santa Gertrudes ranch.
 It grew and it grew, like a snowfall, land and cattle perpetually added to it's borders. Thus he became one of the first and easily the greatest of the Texas cattle kings. He fought Indians who came on raiding expeditions, he fought Mexicans who tried to steal his mavericks, and he fought stage rob bers who waylaid him with the pro- ceeds of his increasing sales.
 In 1885 Captain King died. He had five children, little Etta being the youngest and favorite of her mother, but, having no wish to see Santa Cert rudes divided, he left all his property absolutely to his wife.
 Mrs. Henrietta NJ King is a woman of middle age and pleasing appearance. She has two fine residences on her do- main, and one, the finest in all Texas, in the town of Corpus Christi
 Seek her there and you will find
  sential different from her like in an eastern city. To see her at her best, in position almost unique in Amer ica, one must travel with her upon. one of her great tours Of inspection
 Twice every year Mrs. King takes a look over her property; once in the spring when her cattle are rounded up for branding, and in the late fall to see how the grass looks and how the cattle will stand the winter It is like taking a far journey.
 Mrs. King combines pleasure with business. Besides her superintendent, she is always accompanied by invited guests. The inspecting party travels with caravan Of carriages for Mrs King and an imposing retinUe of cow boys, guides and cooks. The cracking of quirts and the neighing of horses and lowing Of cattle make the trip seem like the emigration of a patriarchal tribe.
 Mrs. King dossn't know how many cattle she has-or how many acres, for
