Works of Art Valued at $2,SOO, 900
Secured for Lewis and Clark
Centennial.

Statuary valued at $2,5OO,OO is the
magnificent gift of ST. Louis to the
Lewis and Clark Centennial. This
represents the cream of the Louisiana
Purchase statuary, and will add an
element Of beauty to the Exposition
that nothing else could give.
The statuary was selected a few days

who went TO st. Louis for the purpose.
Notable among the sculptors whose
works are represented in the selection
are Borglum, Vaudell, Frederic Rem
ington, Weinman, Bitner, Lopez and
Ruckstuhl. In selecting the statues
care was taken to secure only such
pieces as would harmonic with the
Western Worlds Fair. The titles of
some of the works selected bear out
this. They are: "Group of Buffalo"
Resting Cowboy" step to Civiliza-
tion," DESTINY of the Red Man."
'Sioux Chief" "Cherokee Chief"
"Four Neptunes," Captains Meri-
wether Lewis and William Clark"

This group, by Remington, shows
four cowboys, mounted on western
ponies, shooting off their pistols in
the air. The statue is done in staff,
but will receive covering of bronze
before being placed in position.

If EIying orders should come into the market we would not find stock as cheap as they think inasmuch as there is no stock offered. and am positive there is not much Of an opportunity to get them without biding for them. c. & A. opened thls morning at III bid and held firm through the day, but closed at l10&. We cannot but expect to see this stock advance during the next few weeks for developments certainly warrant it. c. & P. started off this morning at 291 bid, but long before the close cf the day it was selling for 31t.. P. &
 D. is still ranging around the 50 mark, but you can rest assured that it will start off Monday at a different figure L. s & P. is being handled very freely and considerable buying orders are on the market. This no doubt is effecting the other stocks as the holders of c. ~ T. anu V. & A. are StliiuS iu6T holdings in these two companies and are buying up L. s. & P. with the pro- ceeds derived from the sale. I do not think it advisable for those holding c. & P. to let it go for the purpose of buying L. s. & P. (not that the L. s. & P. is not good property), but you must remember that the L. s. & P have got to go through the very same operations that the c. & P is passing through. c. & P. stock will be selling for very good figure by the time that the L. s. & P. will have made the pro- gress that has been made at the c. 6 r. shaft Junction has not acted as we expected, that is to say we expected that this stock would close a little stronger than it really did for We have many inquiries and on one caring to sell under the market.
