Pacific Mail promises to be active this
week. II is said by people known to be
well posted on Congressional plans that
the subsidy bill will be made an active
issue early in the session, and it is stated
by others supposed to be in touch with
stock market plans that this stock will be
a favorite with the manipulators while the
subsidy bill campaign is on. At the mo-
ment there is very good evidence that the
stock is to be advanced. It's activity on

sometimes on affection, sometimes on
