ERRAI|C STOCK MARKE l
Another Day of Wild Excitement and Confusion Experienced in
 Wall Street.
SECRETARY COUTtLYOU TAXES ACTION
Anticipates April interest on Bonds and Directs Deposit of Customs Receipts in National Bank Deposi- tories, Thus Placing Nearly $17,- 0o0, 900 in Cash in the Banks.

New York, March 27.--Wild excite ment and extreme confusion prevailed in the stock market again Tuesday The action of the market showed the conflicting emotions of operators as between the dread of disastrous in- fluence on the market in the fall of prices Monday aud the nervous appre- hension of the bears less they had overdone the reckless selling. The fright of the bears overcome the cur rent of the market in the course of the first hour when some further wide breaks to far below Mondays lowest prices were confusedly mixed with violent advances.
 Different stocks in the same group moved widely in contrary directions at first When the upward tendency clearly developed fluctuations were wide and feversh, variations between sales running to large fractions or full figures both upwards and backwards. This showed the difficulty of dis corning the prevailing quotations and of executing orders.
 The copper stocks were most con spicuous amongst the first downward plunges. Amalgamated Copper and Anaconda slumped to 5A and Amerf- can points, the last named, however, not getting back to Mondays low point. The further break in the cop pers was directly traceabIe to the further slump in the price of copper warrants in London.
 Washington, March 27.-Under in- structions recently issued by the secretary of the treasury collectors or customs throughout the country were directed to deposit their customs re- ceipts in the regular depositories. This, however. did not embrace the socalled sub-treasury cities. These in structions have been enlarged by the secretary so that the public deposits
 with national bank Repositories in New York city will at once be in creased about s15,0o0000 from GUS toms receipts under the provisions of the act of March {. 1907. This action is taken with a view to facilitating the redemption of the per cent bonds of 1907, and also to render available additional funds for the usual disbursements occurring on April |. The secretary also has In structed the treasurer of the United States to mail at once to the owners the checks for interest due April T., 1907, on registered bonds of the two per cent consols 1880 and the four per cent funded loan of 1907 The sub-treasurery officers have been in structed to cash the checks on pre- sentation and to cash on presentation any April coupons belonging to the | bonds of the two loans.
 Secretary Cortelyou's action with reference to the deposits of customs
 receipts and the anticipation of Apfi'
 interest will result in immediately re-
 flowing the money market to the cx- tent of about sl6,900.006.
 When questioned as to whether ne
 would continue to make customs de-
 posits from day to day the secretary said he was not prepared to announce
 the definite policy in that regard ou' said he expected to act liberaiiy m making deposits of customs receipts.

PEDRO GROUP OF CLAIMS BONDED
TO SAN FRANCISCO CAPITALIST.

Last Saturday afternoon, William
A. Mears, u capitalist of San Fran
cisco, bonded the Pedro group OF
claims, located in Copper Basin, one
of the most promising groups in the
district, from Don and William Mac
donald, III. r. and A. G. Lemaire and
C. A. Lee. The price for which the
property was bonded wal $4,000.
Considerable work has been done on
this property, about 200 feet of tun-
mel work and wines being executed.
The lodges on the property are very
large and the values run very good in
gold with a small amount OF silver.
Assays have been obtained running
$140 and over in gold. Experts who
have examined the property report
favorable. There is no doubt but that
a mine Of great magnitude will be
found as work is performed on the
property.
This is Mr.. Mears first visit to this
district and was recommended here

Work will soon be started on the

will have been opened up.

first ballot that Eugene Schmitz, once
