INVESTMENT GOSSIP

c. H. F. Smith from New York-There is
much better tone to the general market. All
of the important factions, including the
Standard Oil crowd, City National bank IN
terests,, think that there will be considerable
improvement. Amalgamated Copper may work
a little lower but it is said a fortune will
be made by those who will buy it and hold
it. Coalers and fractions may be easier with
the return flow from the interior.
New York to Whallon-American stocks in
London steady at about parity Further cut
in Copper prices considered probable. Dun s
and Bradstreet's reports highly favorable.
Biggest holiday business on record Gould
people think their stocks will lead market
in next advance. Union Pacific annual report
expected in near futures will probably show
per cent earned per cent on common Great
Western making exceptionally big earnings.
New York TO Watson-There is no reason
to believe that any stock exchange houses Of
high repute are at all crowded for money
are in any way over-exchanged or en-
barrassed, on the contrary, the line of specu-
lative stocks in the street we should regard
as moderate and conservative. There is
healthy undertone to the bond market and
very large orders have been in the street
during the last few days for the purchase OF
securities by those who desire to take ad-
vantage of the present depression. Among
the more desirable investment securities
which appeal to US we note Atchison preferred
and Union Pacific preferred as being distinct
ly cheap at these prices, and we may add
Southern Railway preferred and Norfolk &
Western to the above. Purchases OF these
stocks at this time cannot fail during the
next few months to pay well. There may be
some ragged days between now and the first
of January, but they should not be the cause
of anxiety to those whose accounts are prop
erly margined and protected
New York to Lewis-Irregular market may
be looked for. Rather think Amalgamate1
Copper must go lower before getting to bot
tom. Railroad stocks however, seem to be
wanted on declines and on any material break
it might do to buy for turn. We, however
look for no continued upward sway of prices
for the time being.

GODFATHER TO A CATHOLIC.
London Chronicle

The Earl of Denbigh's little daughter
who was christened the other day, will
probably be unique among Roman Catho-
lies in having the king for her godfather.
According to the strict rules Of that com
mNnion, Protestant is not eligible for
that post of spiritual responsibility, but
exceptions have always been made in the
case of royal persons. The king is what
may be called an honorary sponsor for
Victoria Mary Dolores Fielding who has
Lord Gainsborough for her acting one.
Lord Denbigh, who is one OF the kings
lords in waiting, is the head Of the Field
ings, family famous in war, and not
always so Indifferent to letters as Henry
Fielding, the novelist, once seem~l to i'm
ply. Asked why he wrote "i'ieIding''
rather than Fielding" he replied that he
was the first Of his family who knew
how to spell his name.

New York, Dec. 14.-The stringency in the
money market during the week has forced
some active liquidation at times, varied by
some special points of strength and occasional
covering movements by bears. The liquida-
ton appears to have relieved the money mar
ket, but fears OF occasional recurrence of
stflngency ILtIl the turn OF the year have
operated against any large speculative com
mltments. The activity and prosperity Of
general business in all lines maintained an

of Guthrie, yesterday. Il never knew of
territory that came forward so rapidly as
we are doing There are 500, 900 people
now in Oklahoma, and we have more pop
ulatiOn than any one of twelve states l
could mention which voted at the last
congressional election. 1t is such a glo-
rious country that / really feel a few
inches smaller when came east and have
to breathe the air that is not to be COM
pared with what we have in Oklahoma.
The territory already has $3.50, 600 900 Of
taxable property and our public institut-
tions are valued to $12, 900 000. We are for
separate statehood without Indian Ter
tory.
The substantial buildings they are put
ting up in our cities could we'll be the
pride of older localities. l was over to
the young town Of LawtOn, in the Kiowa
country, the other day They are actual
ly erecting fine two-st ory brick houses
with broad porches there. The buildings
are of a better class and more substan-
tial than went up in other older towns
during the first five years of the terri
torys existence. At Lawt on they told me
they had discovered natural gas near the
town, and l wouldn't believe them till
they took me out to the place where they
have a we'll and set the gas on fire."

NEXT MORNING's HEADACHE.


Sir Lander Brunton and DR.. Zunnicliffe
conclude that the furfurol constituent of
whisky is that which causes the violent
headache of intoxication. Experiments
upon animals and man demonstrated that
furfurol has a temporary paralyzing action
upon the voluntary muscles, with tonic
and clonic convulsions followed in man
by throbbing headaches for twenty-four
hours. In aging, the amount of the fur
furol in whisky grows less, and hence old
whisky causes less headache than the
fresh spirit. With a perfectly furfurol
free whisky the secondary symptoms Of
drunkenness in man and animals were alb
sent.
If the truth of this should seem proba-
BILE, the prohibitionists should at once in
stitute researches to disprove such
science" and gold cure people may once
more pluck up their courage. But we
cannot help supecting some flaw in the
argument. To have the fun and not have
to pay the fiddler is hardly according to
