PUBLICITY FOR OIL CROWD
BY W. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, May 26-"Where are the stocks" is the question that is again puzzling Wall street. Commission houses have fewer stocks than they had forty and sixty days ago. yet, we hear on every hand that the public is taxing no interest in the market and that the investing class did not generally avail itself of the smash in prices to buy up securities when they were overcrowding the bargain counters. An immense mass of stocks came out on the slump weak and timid holders being shaken or frozen out by the thousands. The stocks thus dumped were neither thrown into the sea nor burned up. They went somewhere and the future of the market hinges very largely on the question of their present location. An analysis of the bank state ments show very clearly that the bulk of these securities so precipitately un- loaded, are still being used as collateral for loans in the city. The strong people who came to the support of the market when things looked panicky still have the goods. They have frightened their load somewhat on the sharp rally from inside prices but they are still under the burden. It is for the future to dis close whether this great accumulation of stocks is to be llquidated on a lower level than that now prevailing or sue cessfully distributed on some later boom It is entirely safe to say that the pow erful interests the stock market will bend their energies to the making of 6 higher market. To this end they are shaping the money market so as to make 1t as easy as possible for speculatOrs to obtain funds to carry on their bullish campaigns. Vast sums of gold have been imported from Europe and the old world reservoir of precious metal will be fur ther drawn upon if necessary. Time money has been beaten down to 5 per cent and is none too strong at that rate. Call money Is approaching 3 per cent and a cheap summer rate is promised. The right people have no trouble in making satisfactory arrangements for funds as far ahead as they care to commit them selves. There will be use for every dol lar of available money in the mani fold activities of the general business situation. but through it all Wall street will be looked after on a generous and liberal scale.

American Money Abroad.

great deal of American money is still pouring into Cuba. Mexico. Central and South America. These countries of fer amazingly attractive openings for cap- ital and advantage is being freely taken of these opportunities. Cuba alone has absorbed about s12o, 100000 The biggest single chunk of money was put in by Sir William Van Horne and associates. who have already invested about s23. GOO GOO in the construction of railroads on the island and in the development of resources along their lines. It is prob able before the plans of the Van Horne syndicate are completed they will have invested $5O.000O 900. The sugar trust has sl5O0O,0O0 to s20,Oo0000 in Cuban sugar plantations and refneries and has hardly commenced the development ef it's re- sources in that direction. The island is ideal in the matter of climate. soil and location for the raising of sugar and of citrus fruit crops. This later industry is only in it's infancy. The time will come when the oranges and grape fruit of Cuba as well as it's bananas, will drive out the products of FloriGa and Califor- mia from the markets of the Atlantic and middle eastern states.

American Securities in Paris.

And so, American securities have forced an entrance into Paris. The Pennsylva- mia railroad was the entering wedge, having made market there for either $25,000,000 or s5o00o.000 in bonds, state ments being at variance as to the exact amount France is the greatest money trove in the world. The French peo- pie are thrifty and they keep on piling up savings and profits at an amazing rate. They have more money to invest than Great Britain even and it has al- ways been the ambition of American financiers to get where they could dip into that pot. The French have always been suspicious of American securities, however, and have resolutely kept us out. 1t has ever been the belief of the manufacturers and salesmen of American securities that if the French could be induced to get near enough to us to know us they would like Us. The Americans have lots of good things they could be persuaded to part with in order to give French investors chance to obtain per cent or per cent on their surplus capital. If the French could learn to think as much of us and our securities as they do of the Russians the two coun- tries could do a great deal of business together.

his hand in the matter to pull off the prize. The appointment of J. l. c. Clark to the head of the newly organized pub licity bureau turned out to have been a severe disappointment to @ number of ambitious newspaper men who had been energetically culuvating the soil and bringing the management to a realizing sense of a need of such a bureau. MT. Rogers held out against the arguments and persuasions of his well wishers but when he did make up his mind to new departure he forgot the identity of the men who had been doing the missionary work and went clear out of his way to find a suitable person to take the job. It is said that in his anxiety to find the ideal man he appealed to his friend and crony Mark Twain. The genial MT. Twain remembered his very good friend MT Clark and suggested him for the place, so runs the story. Somewhat to his disappointment, MT. Clark finds him self on precisely the same plane as other press agents for the corporation in Wall street. Matters of news which papers would have been crazy to get if obliged to go after and work for are now viewed with suspicion and cold criticism, the same as the output of other publicity de- partments. After all this thing of getting before the public right is something of an art. It is largely in the proper meth- cd Of approach.

Effect of Saaaing Markets. \

Sagging markets wear out the hearts and courage of speeulators and press the patience and pocketboolSs of commission houses. Business gets dull and traders lose their nerve. Instead of taking ad- vantage of prevailing weakness to lay in a few more stocks they hold off waiting for the tone to harden and so It goes on from bad to worse until 1t becomes necessary for the big fellows to create a diversion by chasing in the shorts or giving the market a bullish flip.

Baer's Great Game.

The Wall street construction of MT. Baer's remarkable address in exploitation of the very great honesty of the Reading management and of Reading officials in general is that the head of the Antha- cite coal trust is out after MT. Cassatt's job as managing editor of the Mighty Pennsylvania System. The notion is talk ing root in the financial district that MT. Cassett is to be sacrificed even as the high prisets of life insurance were made to walk the plank, and that he will have to make way for a ''reformer'' who will more fittingly represent the latest appreciation of high business mo- rality Although the acknowledged head of the coal trust, MT. Baer has always insisted that he stands for the highest type of business purity. and although this attitude strikes some as being in consistent it nevertheless makes a pro- found impression. for people are just now
 in the mood to admire the Puritan. and MT Baer Is nothing If not that. Mean time MT. Cassatt is hurrying back to America to face the situation and inci4 dentally to protest his fences against Baer inyasons.
