poets Of gold exports. The remedy
for the money stringency lies in liq
uidation and contraction ot the
stock market. The position of the
speculative leaders, however, is
so strong at present that there is lit
tie indication of any such tendency,
conservative bankers show determine
ed resistance. Some of the bull
leaders have succeeded in disposing
of good portion of Their present Load,
which they are doing under cover at
every opportunity.
Outside of speculation the market
is likely to have the support of
strong banking interests for some
time to come. There will be i'm
portant new issues of securities, par
ticularly railroad stocks, and bank
ers who usually finance such deals do
not wish to have the market SPOILED
by excessive speculation. The growth
of mileage in the West has not kept
pace with traffic during the past ten
years. For instance, the railroad
mileage during the decade increased
only about Is per cent , which is less
than the increase in population, While
the tonnage of roads increased over
100 per cent. In the West, between
the Mississippi and the Pacific. there
is strong need of additional mileage,
and if nothing intervenes we i'll
see at least ,one or two years Of active
new construction. Union Pacific
and St. Paul have ALREADY entered
the field of builders, and other sys-
TENS must follow. This means an
important new supply of railroad
stocks, for which there would b. d
healthy and general demand, since
the best issues of most roads are
either held at exobitant prices or
locked up in strong boxes. Another
source of support promises to come
from proposed mergers in the iron
and steel trades. Some very i'm
portant transactions of this nature
are already under way and those who
have them in charge will no doubt
| find it to their interest to sustain the
stock market until such deals are
completed. The iron trade is prac-
| tically assured Of another big year
and all the metals industries are en-
joying good times because of the un-
preeedented production at profitable
prices. This is the basis of present
big speculation in coppers, which in
cidentally, it may be stated, Is one
of the worst danger spots in The r,ar-
ket.
The outlook, therefore, of The elk
market is promising, but the -isks
and probabilities of reaction multiply
rapidly with each advance aud Just

strong into weak hands. Sharp re-
actions may be anti .ipated at any

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCK
HOLDERS HELD YESTER-
DAY AFTERNOON.
YEAR VERY PROSPEROUS
Trade Was Unusually Large to Phil
lppines-Busy on Win
ter Trade.

The annual election of the officers
of Gaar. Scott & Co., was held yes
terIay afternoon. The same executive
heads of the company will be In con-
troll this year as last. The officers
are as follows: President, Howard
Campbell; First Nice-president,
Frank Land; Second Vice-president,
w. II. Campbell; Secretary, S. S.
Strattan, Jr.; Treasurer, c. II. Land.
The officers also form the board of d.
rectors.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that the past year has been one Of
the most prosperous in the history Of
the concern. The export trade has
been the largest during the year of
1905 that the company has ever ex-
perienced. Large shipments have
been made to Canada, Mexico, Egypt,
Russia, Turkey, Roumania, South
America and the trade in the Phil
ippines has increased materially.
The prospects for this years bus
mess are also good, according to the
directors, and although wheat will
not be sown in the great wheat dis
tricts of the middle west until early
spring and not much trade can be ex-
pected from that part of the coun-
try until then, the company expects
to be busy the remainder of the win
ter on the export trade.

THE TRUTH ABOUT 1T
World Gets Reliable Informa
ton Regarding Situation,

The World has investigated
the oil situation in Tulsa, and
& is in a position TO give the ex-
act facts in regard to the stu
alton. In the desire to arrive
at sane and definite under
standing Of the matter the
B World sent a staff correspon-
dent TO Independence, Kan
and the officials of the Prairie
Oil & Gas company were in
terviewed. The following story
is the result of the interview
There is no reasonable justi-
fcation to expect an advance
in the price of oil in the Mid
Continent field in the near flu
ture. However new condi-
tions are arising in the Gulf
coast regions, where the pro
duction is rapidly decreasing
that will help quite materially
in finding a new market for
the rapidly increasing produc-
tion of this field. 1t can sefely
be asserted thata pipeline will
be under construction from the
d-Continent field to the Gulf
region within the next few
months; consequently finding
new outlet for this field.
Strenuous efforts are also be
ing made to finish the second
Whiting pipe line as soon as
possible from Humboldt that
will carry a large part of the
Mid Continent production to
the eastern markets. The new
tank farm building near Ra-
mona will accommodate about
seven million barrels when it
is completed and will take
care of the present production.
These facts will no doubt stim-
ulate the producer but it does
not look reasonable to expect
an advance until this work is
accomplished, or until there is
some hope Of an outlet for at
least a portion of the $4,000,
900 barrels now in storage in
this field

When Oil Is Low,

lneN nad not forgotten tne Iacl
that oil still remains at 80 cents n
barrel, which means about "a cents
net, or about three quarters of cent
per gallon to the producer, so when
they met at the cigar stand and
Jones handed Smith ten cent cigar
he remarked somewhat grimly;
"That ought to be good one; it
cost me fourteen gallons of oil, "
"Oh, that's nothin' y returned
Smith. "Back in Ohio when she
struck 10, one had to give up sixty
barrels of oil to pay two weeks
board and pretty rotten board at
that"
"Of course il might be worse, !"
agreed Smith, "but, somehow, !
can't accustom myself to giving up
seven gallons of crude oil for one lit
tie dnky glass of Eureka Springs wa
ter. Every time the man brings me

laundry urposeS and ! have to give
up a half barrel of good old crude pc
trolcum for it, get a bit grouchy,

Just at this moment Smiths wife
passed, wearing most bewitching
creation in the form Of a bonnet, and
a smart tailor made gown "You'd
think it would lock topheavy but
somehow it don't" he said rehec-
lively, with his eyes fixed upon his
