NEW YORK, Feb. William Barclay
Masterson, better known as Bat Mas

interests Of law and order. has been APP
pointed deputy United States marshal
for this district by Marshal Henkel.
Bat is now at Hot Springs, Ark,
and Marshal Henkel expects him TO
appear at any moment in his office to
be formally installed in the new posi-
ton.
It is extremely doubtful if Marshal
Henkel sets Mr.. AIasterson to watch the
stock OF a bankrupt or similar tasks
but when it comes TO the execution of a
commission TO hunt down quarry for
which the Government is diligently
seeking there will be found Mr. Master
son, and If his reputation is sustained
he will be close up to his man.
Born in the West about fifty years
ago, William Barclay Masterson was
one OF three boys in the Masterson fam
lily, who all became famous peace
makers in the town in which they set
tied, ana that at time when peace
was hard TO make.
They located in Dodge City, Kan. in
the middle Of the seventies, when the

NEW YORK.

The market has reached Il point where
a reaction is due, and a setback will not
reflect adverse developments affecting
actual values or indicate that the bull
movement of 1905 Is al an end. Stocks
are in good hands, and as their real
value is increasing it is not probable
that there viii be a sustained bear
movement, particularly as all indica-
tons point to Il year of relative ease
in the money market. There are q
number of big deals yet to be announc-
ed, and the mere fact that the sub
stantial banking interests are engaged
in preparing plans for the financing of
various undertakings ought to convince
the skeptics that no important perma-
nent weakness will be permitted in the
securities market. Investors are in the
buying mood, as shown by the success
sequence the chances of successful
bear campaign at present are rot prom
Using.
Two reasons are assigned for the adj
vance in National Lead stocks. One is
that the company will soon issue its
annual report showing that in 1904 the
earnings were the largest in several
years past. The other is that in we'll
informed circles it is known that plans
to merge the lead companies are again
being considered Efforts have been
made repeatedly to merge the National
Lead and the United Lead Company
without success. Standard OIL interests
are in the former. while American
Smelling interests. together with the
Morton Trust Company, control the
latter.
