NEW YORK, May s.-Opcratlons in

fluctuations in prices were Significant
Of the lack Of a conviction prevalent.
The dealings were In the hands OF
narrow professional class and could
not be said to represent anything
more thnn shifting sentiment and ef-
forts to detect u prevalent tendency
In the course of prices that might be
followed. An early advance in few
stocks attracted no important follow
ing. and the signs OF weakness In New
York Central seemed to be due to
further selling, prompted by consid-
Grafton Of the wide margin below the
dividend requirement shown by the net
earnings of the company for the first
quarter of the year. The pressure on
the stock was lifted to some extent
after the publication of the gross earn
ings statement for April which showed
an expansion of over 20 per cent over
the earnings for April last year. Such
a rate Of increase, if maintained.
would be sufficient to offset even such
large growth In operating expenses
as was made In the March Quarter.
and so would tend to preserve the In
tegrity of the fund available for div!-
dends. Great Importance was attached
to the moderating weather In the
Northwest. as giving promise OF op-
portunity to effect the beiated plant

good opportunities for harvest.
Conditions in the money market un-

SENATOR SUTHERLAND
DEFENDS SMOOT.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Senator Suth
erland today came to the defense of
his colleague, Smoot of Utah. defend
ing mis- right to retain his seat in
the senate. Sutherland maintained
that Smoot was not a viOlatOr of the
law, either as principal or accessory,
and did not recognize any allegiance
to any power paramount to the al
legiance he owed his flag or his
country Sutherland declared that
the charge that life or proprty was
in the slightest degree unsafe in
Utah, that the people or any part of
them taught their children to disre-
Spect the flag, or that there was any
hostility towards the general govern
ment, was a cruel falsehoOd.

81 am interested in the automobile

and from my experience in building
that highway l would think that the

position both as regards buildings and
maintenance. l am now on my way to
Albuquerque, being called there by
the Commercial Club of that city for
the purpose of considering the con-
struction of the automobile road over

miles. The road would pass through
four of the four best towns between
the two cities.
Along the route of the proposed
dications, inexhaustible salt beds. In
the Guadalupe mountains there are
large deposits of sulphur and copper
that would afford a railroad a large
amount of traffic were a line to be
put through there
G. T. Gray, one of the leading citi-
zens of Captain, N. NJ, is in the city
with Mr.. Stockard, and in speaking of
the mineral deposits between here
AID Carlsbad said today:
From my own personal observation
of the country after Is years of pros
0ecting | know that there are unlim-
tied quantities of copper deposits in
the Guadalupe mountains closely ad-
jacent to the route of the proposed
railroad to Carlsbad. Then near to the
line of the road are large coal beds,
judging from surface indications, that
section of the country for years to
come These coal deposits are about
55 miles out of FL Paso and are right
close by the route laid out for the
aew railroad. Besides the copper and
coal are salt and sulphur deposits in
great quantities.
None of these mineral deposits
have been opened up or developed be-
cause of tn lack of railroad facfli-
ties and of no accessible way of get
ting the ore out.
81 know of capitalists who would
come into that section and take up
claims and develop these deposits
if a railroad were to be put through,
and the ore would furnish no small
amount of traffic for the road

Washington, D. G. Jan. 22.-The
State Department today made public
the following cablegram:
Jamaica, Jan. 20, 1907.
Hon Elihu Root, Secretary of
State, Washington, D. C.-Jamaica is
profoundly grateful to your excellen-
cy for the expression of sympathy
kindly given by Admiral Davis and
in particular the service of the squa-
dron of the United States navy.
(Signed) GOVERNOR.
The State Department today made
public the text of a note delivered
yesterday by the British charge de
affaires. 1t is as follows: 81 have the
honor to inform you, under instruc-
tions received today from His Maj
esty's Principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, that His Majes-
inquiries to be made as to the authen-
ticity of the letter which appeared
in the public press this morning, pur-
porting to be written by the Cover
nor of Jamaica, and addressed to Ad-
miral Davis, commanding the United
waters.
"tSir Edward Gray desires me to
say, that, while he is so far depend
ent upon the press only for ilforma-
ton with regard to this incident, he
deeply regrets, if the published text
proves correct, that a British official
should have addressed such a letter
to the gallant admiral VINO had rem
dered valuable assistance to British
subjects at a time of great suffering
and distress, and that he is certain
that this feeling of regret is shared
by everyone in Great Britain.
Germans are Interested.
Berlin, Jan. 22.-The newspapers
here print every item of news avail
able about the incident between Gov
ernor Swettenham and Admiral Davis
at Kingston. Various newspapers in
commenting on the incident aScribe
the friction to Governor Swetten-
nam's 'tired nerves" and sensitive
national pride. Some of the papers
say that the Americans may now un-
derstand the feeling of Germany over
the declination of the United States
to accept foreign relief for the San
Francisco earthquake sufferers, altao
it is admitted that the circumstances
in the two cases are quite different.
French Comment.
Paris, Jan. 22.-Eclair in comment
ing upon the American rebuff at
Kingston expresses the opinion that
Admiral Davis Intervention conforms
with President Roosevelt's words in
October that the construction of the
Panama canal signifies that America
is policing the two oceans, especially
the Caribbean sea. The English are
not willing, it says. to trust the
Americans. who with one foot in Ja-
maica would soon have four.

brought against the railroad before
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The result of his visit is that he
made offers to various persons to re-
duce rates on many articles of great
est use, sucn as grain, fuel, ETC., and
thus virtually asks for the dismissal
of the suit. The people have not de
cided to dismiss the suit, but even
the talk of freight reductions tickles
their ears as they nave not been
tickled before.
Before any specific action will be
taken in any way on the matter the
Commercial Club wants a definite of
and a list of the reductions they are
willing to give.
Mr.. Myers left this morning for his
home in Amarillo, but before leav-
ing talked with a Record reporter.
Yes ne said, '1 have been talking
question. They want reductions on
everything, just as the people every
where else do, regardless of the fact
that the railroads have just granted
an increase il pay-rolls running as
hign as forty per cent. 1 have made
no offer for reductions here, but l
will say that 1 have been learning
what the people want their reduc-
tions on, more particularly, and have
shown that the railroad is willing to
put its rates as low as possible and
still make a little on the traffic. The
road and the people here are not so
far apart, now, as they were, and we
hope for an agreement
The trend of Mr.. Myers remarks
indicates that reductions are practi-
cally offered. What ne said was con-
siderable for a railroad official to
give out, and more could not be ex-
pected.
The Commercial Club of Roswell
will wait for a written offer and a
list of reductions before they con-
slider any verbal or understood" pro
position to dismiss the suit.
