AN OLD TREASURY NOTE.
Issued In 1915 to Pay Arrears of War
Debt OF 1912 Turns Up in
New York.

\ certain $40 treasury note of the

from the First National Bank of West

session Of that institution is not known
here. says the New York Sun.
The note was taken to the sub

there had no way Of proving its genu-
intness, nor any available funds to cash
it. On December IL the note was sent
to Washington, where after various in
Spt ciions. references and conferences
it has been identified with others Of the

On February 81, 1915, TO pay arrearages
in 'hc expenses of the war of 1912. It
was for $25.C&0,C00 originally, and the
act allowed the reissuance of notes or
their conversion into bonds. Of this
amount $S,3G2.394 was actually issued,
and $7,1S2,TiO reissued. The notes were
redeemable in nine years or convert
IDLE into government bonds. When the
notes themselves were for amounts
greater than 500 they bore interest.
but for less amounts were payable to
bearer and did not draw interest until
converted. Nearly all the issue was
soon retired, and the last note received

The redemption Of the note will be
chargeable to the public debt moture1
prior to 1861. The note is held to be

New York, April 26.-The weekly Gov
ernment report, on the whole, indicates
satisfactory cotton crop condition and sim
ply confirms previous reports of backward
ness in some sections and poor seed in
others. Additional Texas advices confirm
reports of benefit by rain. More impor-
tance is generally attached TO the Texas
advices than to the crop report. The At
lantic States are known to be behind. but
so long as Texas shows up as well as she
has of late many see nothing to encourage
a dull movement of permanent character.
The market has been held up by certain
interests recently, and when they with
draw there will be an absence of support
ing power which must be seriously felt.

RISE IN SILVER BULLION.
Spectators fn London Attribute Il
to a Trust.

New York, April 26-Silver bullion has
risen sharply since Monday. On Saturday
It's price was 27 1-2 pence an ounce in Lon
don and 50 rs cents in New York. Today
it sold at 2S pence in London and 81 Is
cents here. The movement originated in
London, and is regarded by good authori-
ties here are purely speculative, and un-
dertaken by London operators on the the
ory that with the public mind in its pre-
sent condition, buying movement could
be successfully engineered.
London cables have ascribed the rise 10
expectations that the lately organized
'Snelters' Trust" is likely to raise the
price of silver arbitrarily. This was ridi-
culed by all silver dealers today, and they
pointed out that any such action by the
smelling combination would be equivalent
to bidding up the price OF their own raw
material. The smeiters were, in fact
taken considerably off their guard by this
weeks abrupt advance. London advices
to local houses merely described the mar
ket as very uncertain; impossible to fore
cast -
Until the present week the price of silver
bullion has hardly moved this year, its
extreme range in London since January
being from 27 3s to 27 9-16 pence an ounce
The average price in London during 1898
was 26 l5-l6 pence. but in the autumn the
price went as high as 2s 5-16. The lowest
recorded price for silver was reached in
August, 1897. when it touched 2S ga pence
in London.
Exports OF silver from this country have
been increasing OF late. In January their
value exceeded 1898 by sl,057, 600; in Feb
ruary the increase was $500, 600; In March,
$l,0sl,0 600. On the other hand, London's
exports of silver TO India. thus far in the

TIE MARKET Firm and
TRADINGHN
Activity in Anaconda Copper
Mining Shares.
Pronounced Advances in Pennsyl-
vania and Rapid Transit.
A Rise I'm Silver in London Reflected
in Sharp Gains for Denver and
Rio Grande Stocks.

New York, April 26.-Today's stock mar
ket ruled very firm with the trading in
fair volume. The more pronounced ad
stocks, notably Pennsylvania, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, and Anaconda Mining. The
Vanderbilt shares we're firm also, pur-
chasers of New York Central appearing af-
ter the rise in Pennsylvania. In the in
stance OF the latter the sudden and pro-
nounced revival of interest seemed to be
owing to the approaching dividend declara-
tion, and the advance in the stock was ac-
companied by rumors that the dividend
rate might be increased. The heavy deal
ings in Anaconda were based upon the
position that company is likely to take in
the pending great copper mining combina-
ton. No particular gossip attended the
sharp rise in Brooklyn Rapid Transit, but
the buying of stock was doubtless based
upon the prospects of large increase in
the company's traffic with the advent of
the more seasonable weather. An inter-
esting feature of the days situation was
a pronounced rise in silver bullion in the
London market. The strength of the metal
was rather vaguely referred to the effect
of the operations of the smelling combi-
nation, though in what way 1t was not
stated. Reflections of the advance in sill
yer were furnished in the local market in
sharp rises in the Denver and Rio Grande
shares and in the stocks of the Mexican
Railway.
The grangers took little part in the days
dealings and the Pacific issues were also
neglected. The Reading shares were the
only active features of the anthracite coal
group, and these stocks reflected consid-
cradle amount of pressure. Declines were
also noted in the other anthracite shares,
although there was no news or gossip bear
ing upon these stocks. There were irreg-
ular movements in the Industrial quarters.
Sugar Refining broke rather sharply in the
early dealings In the absence of any con-
firmation Of yesterdays trade" Peoples
Gas, which is sometimes classed with the
industrials was firm on rumors that an in
crease in the dividend rate was probable.
The money market was fairly active and
firm, but notwithstanding this fact the
bond market was very strong. Foreign
houses were buyers of a fair amount of
stocks on balance, though they were again
large sellers of Anaconda. In the later
dealings the market developed good deal
of irTegularity on proflt-realizing sales,
probably largely induced by the marked
weakness of Sugar Refining.

II is perhaps not yet time to state that
the boom in the stock market is under way
and that from this time there will be
gradual advance of prices and no recess
sions of moment. Very evidently, how
ever, yesterday was bullish day with
excellent buying OF the grangers and
many other stocks by the leaders, and a
participation in the movement by the
commission houses, and taken all in all it
seems fairly probable that the boom is not
far on. In this connection 1t is interest
ing TO call attention to the synopsis of the
market situation printed in this column
last Sunday. Ii was there stated that the
leaders and their followers had been buy
ing stocks in large blocks quietly at the
low levels attained last week and that
everything pointed to an early resumption
of the bull market. The prediction Low
INDUCED in by the bulls is that today will
see higher prices than yesterdays and that
before the end of the week there will have
been a material advance. The bears still
talk of the very high level of prices at
present compared with that OF a year and
two years ago. but such comparisons seem
to be not in the least pertinent. There is
an era of great prosperity in the country
now and last year. and two and three years
ago it was hardly in sight. Present prices
should be measured with those of the
great bull periods OF ten and twenty years
ago.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was the stock
that acted best during the entire day. 1t
advanced rapidly and to the tune of enor-
nous buying and in the late afternoon con-
tinued to go up, while the remainder of
the market was being sold off heavily.
Flower bought several thousand shares and
other leaders were conspicuous buyers.
There was considerable realizing at 1873 ana
again at 134 and 1876 and 1885, but except
at the very close of the day the price was
forced down little. and always rallied
quickly. AS was predicted in this column
earlier in the week, Brooklyn thus led the
advance OF the market. The character of
the buying at the top price suggests very
strongly that the advance will be contin-
ued again today, and many are confident
that the price will reach 140. The high
point reached was 1876 1-S. and from this
figure there was a reaction of a point,
which left a net gain for the day of over
three points. Manhattan acted in very
different way from Brooklyn. 1t had no
advance and closed trifie lower than the
opening. The attacks that have been made
on the road by the city government have
much the look of being made for the effect
on the stock. in the hope of buying it at
lower figure. 1t is understood that there
is nothing whatever in the cry against the
Ninth Avenue structure But whatever
the inside Of the attacks may be- nothing
of break occurred in the stock yesterday,
