THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Decided Improvement in prices marked the
course OF stock market trading yesterday. There
was absolutely response to all the so-called
unfavorable factors in the situation. and. while
commission houses not active buyers good
support from substantial market interests was
reported. If the market were not intrinsically
sound the heavy engagements Of gold for export,
the uncertainty the crops and the con-
fused situation in China would certainly exert a
marked influence upon values, and AFFORD a
large short interest opportunity 20 get out OF
its commitments at a level well under that now
ruling Technical conditions in the market war
ranted yesterdays rally. and even without pub
lie support prices ought to go still higher on
purely speculative considerations. 1t ap-
pears be the general impression In Wall Street
that the stock market will rule strong for a
time while it is also believed that values will
go lower about the date of the Democratic Ma
rional Convention next month. The Democratic
policy is not popular in Wall Street. and the
bear element will exert every effort to reduce
quotations when Mr.. Bryan and his followers
begin active operations for the Presidency.
Traders covered throughout the list yesterday,
and in several issues sharp advances were made.
All stocks shared in the improvement. In a
number of prominent securities inside support
was noted, while in Sugar Refining and stocks of
its class bull manipulation evident. Strength
in International Paper common and preferred
was an incident Of the day. and all the indus
trials, including the steel shares. strong
and higher. The close near the best prices
of the day. but the final dealings small
in volume. Bear traders assert that they see
no reason In current advances change their
position on the market. but it if
prices had about discounted all the unfavorable
features and uncertainties in the situation.
Small operators, however. should proceed with
caution in this summers market, bearing in
mind that big margins may be required before
g sustained bull movement sets in. The dis
counting process in Wall Street has faculty of
going to extremes.

INTERNATIONAL PAPER.

An active demand for International Paper COM
mon stock was a feature in yesterdays market
that attracted considerable attention in specua-
tive circles. Buying of the issue is warranted by
the earnings of the company, which not only are
maintaining the record of this time year ago.
but are showing improvement as well. 1t
may be said authority that the company is
practically free of floating debt and that 1t will
come to the end of Its fiscal year with the s per
cent earned the preferred stock and about
twice much the common. The policy Of the
company is to establish the property a
most conservative investment basis, and under its
present able mana cement backed by big earnings
the company will some day occupy position
which bear traders in stocks will find hard to
attack they do old industrial concerns
such the Pullman Standard Oil Company
When the dividend the common stock
pended 1t was not because of poor business but
because the company thought 1t wise to apply
surplus earnings for time to working capital
Interna tional Paper directors do not expect any
material recession in their business this
count of any let up in other lines of trade but
1t may be said that the concern is in a condition
easily to meet any passing adverse Developments
that may arise. The company will not find 1t
necessary to put out notes in the future and its
surplus earnings will justify gradual apprecia-
ton In the price of the common stock.

These results obtained after charging up
large amounts for construction, renewals and bet
terments to operating expenses. 1t should borne
in mind that the construction of the line of
about one hundred and forty miles from New-Ulm
to a connection with the Illinois Central has been
proceeded with. but the delivery of steel and
bridge work autumn resulted in delaying COM
pletion. This has been a disappointment to the
company for while the interest on the new issue
of bonds paid entirely out of the earnings of
the former mileage, the company has not had any
income from the extension of which about
eighty miles were put in operation only last week
and the rest. about sixty miles, will be put into
opera ton about the beginning of July next. 1t
will therefore be noticed that with the coming
year, without any increased interest charges over
last year, the company will have gross and
revenue from hundred and forty miles of adj
ditional track, with the advantages of direct and
contributive business and mileage.

Atlanta, Ga, January 6.--In the trial OF
the cases of the State against Peter Smith
and Sylla Smith. on the charge Of cheat
ing and swindling, before Justice E. H.
Ord, it developed that the old negroes Of
the South are paying into the treasury Of
various relief associations more than $780,
600 every year. This was brought out in
the statement of Sylla Smith colored.
agent of the EX-Slave National Relief.
Bounty and Pension CNmpant of the
United States of America, with offices in
Nashville. Sylla Smith declared that there
were 100000 members of the association
who paid % cents for a membership GER
tiicate and whose dues are 10 cents per
month. In this particular case the war
rants were dismissed, the prosecution be-
ing unable to prove that the money was
obtained by the false presentation of a
present or past fact.
The warrants were sworn out by r. ii
Carter. who testified that at meeting of
ex- slaves Sylla Smith made a speech and
read from the Congressional Record bill
TO pension all ex-slaves, and asserted
that the bill had passed. Judge Ord, on
dismissing the warrants pointed out the
fact that If the statement that there were
over GOO, COO members was true. there must
have already been paid to the Nashville
people over s15O.O00 as membership fees
and that the monthly dues Of the number
of members. if paid, would amount in a
year to 100000; how much the $3.50
charter fee would amount TO he had ne

ton to the fact that the Congressional
Record showed that the bill in question
had been introduced only. and that II
