Market was somewhat reactionary
without any special tendency whatever,
the slight reoessions are due to profit
taking and the hesitancy as to what
the bank statement would be. which
was announced at the usual hour and
proved to be fair document, just
about as was expected.

The extra Burlington dividend and
rumors OF similar developments from
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
heavy exports Of grain. favorable
money movement for the week and
full confidence in the success Of the
y. Y. bond offering next week are the
influences being made responsible es-
pecially for the recent strength OF the
market. 1t is not claimed that heavy
speculations for the rise are being I'M
dertaken generally by larger banking
interests. but It IS believed that the
following Of several groups have been
in the market on the long side for the
past ten days and that nearly all of
that class of operators working for a
decline in the market have turned or
have been forced to cover.

1t IS the opinion Of somewhat con-
servative interests that the market
Will continue strong today. Some in
terests are disposed to believe that gen
eral profit taking and renewed short
selling Will bring about a very fair
sized reaction. Banking interests
while much more hopeful than they
We're two weeks ago, are strongly OPP
posed to any plan for advancing the
market sharply from the present level
They point out that the active list
has had a very substantial and rapid
recovery and that a reaction of several
points IS due and would be beneficial
to the market. Most banking inter
ests think that money will continue
to work easier, but say that for some
months monetary conditions were so
disturbing that the Improvement
should be allowed to go on for a
long time and not be checked by IN
due speculation.

BEAUTIFUL Elk HOME
Plans For New Elk Lodge Home. Propose
HandSomeSt Public Building in
Amarillo

If the architects sketches now be-
ing prepared are embodied in com
plctcd building, the Amarillo Elks
home will give Amarillo the hand
gomo5t building constructed in the
City and will have a beautiful and
spacious home
AT present the committees are ac-
lively at work on the canvas of the
opportunities at hand for the raising
of the necessary funds, The lodge
will issue bonds bearing interest at
good rate for the construction Of
the building and will sell these to
members of the order. The bonds
are amply secured and the rate of in
terest is sufficiently high to make
them good safe investment The
bonds will also be open to a limited
number Of outside subscribers and
for persons desiring a safe and sure
Investment, the bonds offer fine
opportunity.
The plans now proposed call for
s.one or gray brick building on
the lots on Fillmore street facing the
court house now owned by the lodge.
The building will follow stately clas-
els lines which will be in keeping
with the place 1t is to fill. The
Iplans are not yet complete for either
Abe building or the building arrange
lments but It Is very likely that the
building now proposed will be the
home OF the Amarillo Elks within
Ethe coming summer.
