MINING, MARKETS AND METALS
RUMOR CROP HAS
TEMPORARILY BAD
EFFECT ON MARKET

NEW YORK, May The shrink
age of one-half in the volume of to-
days stock market from that of yes
terday was significant of the abate-
ment In the demand for stocks. The
reactionary tone, at the same time,
was more pronounced than yesterday,
most of the days sales being effected
at prices below the closing of the
day before and last prices showing
material decline. II is well under
stood that the disclosures in connec-
ton with the two latest stock ex-
change failures have served to force
covering by the bears to an unusual
extreme, many lenders of stocks max
ing peremptory demands for their
return by borrowers for delivery
against short sales. These disclos-
ures have had a disquieting effect on
the speculative temper also. owing to
the fears that they would discourage
operations by the general public
through commission, houses.
The practice by commission
house of short sales in a stock which
their customers are long of il dis
countenanced. and the suggestion
that some of the recent short cover
ing was this character has caused an
unpleasant impression. The net re-
suit has been an unusual exhaustion
of the short interest and this was
held largely accountable for the
dropping tendency of prices today.
OF more active factors. the most
important was the rapid accumula-
tion of idle freight cars reported by
the American Railway associations
committee. The number of these
on April Is. 375.770. is pronounced
the greatest total in the history of
American railroading, having risen
from 297,042 on March Is. when in
creased freight movement had been
bringing additional cars into service,
and comparing with 343 .92S on Feb
ruary ). the highest figure touched
in the depression following the panic
So emphatic an evidence of renewed
trade reaction did not pass unheeded
in speculative circles.
Among the less tangible Influences
in the days market was an impress
sion sought to be created that pow
erfu banking and financial interests
which have supported the market
had achieved the desired purpose of
insuring the underwriting of pro-
posed bond issues and saw no fur
Their necessity for fostering the rising
tendency of prices. This view OBJ
tanned added force from the action
of new issues on the outside market,
where they are dealt in, and where
they were issued. Quotations for the
Pennsylvania consolidated 4 per cent
bonds and the Interborough Rapid
Transit notes both reacted in that
market. The statement of March
earnings of the Hartman roads gave
signal evidence of the effective meas
ures of economy in force, which
overreached the fall in gross earn
ings in the case of Southern Pacific
and went far TO meet IL in the case of
Union Pacific.
Copper receded in London again.
Crops news was favorable. Bonds
were irregular. Total sales. par value
$3.176,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

persons assigning their claims on
desert lands to corporations and asso-
Citations.
The right of second entry was ex-
tended TO include desert entries Just
about Two months after congress
passed a law permitting second home
stead entries. The new law permits
these people who have legtimately
lost their first entry to take up land
and make a second entry. As in the
case Of homestead entries. the per-
son making a second filing must re-
port complete details OF the first
entry. In case the first entry has
been disposed OF for a consideration,
or IL has been lost through fraud. a
second entry is not permissible.
The wording in the act relative to
desert land entries is exactly the
same as that used in the act permit
ting second homestead entries. All
rules applying to second homestead
entries will apply with equal force TO
desert land entries.
Though protecting the country
from monoplies of desert lands con-
gress is generous with the individual.

ruling has hecn made IN order to as

avoidable delays, have not been able
to cultivate their land. Failure. or
rather lack of success, in bringing

considered ample cause for an extern
sion of time.
Lands in unserveyed districts of
the United States have been conn
pletely withdrawn from desert entries
The law provides, however. that
person who has already made fling

is compact and not greater than $40
acres In extent shall be given pref
erence to file upon the desert lands
when certified plat of the unsur-
veyed section shall have been FLED in

bodies of the old bonanza days.
II should be remembered that the

body of ore on the 400 and 1900
levels. could never have reached that

through cooperation with the Con-

and the Comstoek tunnel. The Ophir
has no shaft in condition to hoist ore
and all of its ventilation and drainage
come through the other properties.
Il notice particularly that these
attacks have been directed against
the mine arrangements and not
against the mines themselves, and
that the principal object is that the
output of the mines is not used TO
pay dividends 10 the stockholders.
Ii should be remembered that only
successful cooperation on the part of
all the mines will result In the de-
velopment of additional ore bodies at
depth. Furthermore, it may be that
extending erosseuts might prove in
the end to be very desirable from
the stockholders standpoint as affect

The feature of yesterdays trading
IN Salt Lake, according to dispatches
received here last evening was Fed
eral Ely. From cents, where it
stood for weeks, the stock yesterday
jumped to 10 cents, at which price
II closed. This is considered locally
as certain evidence of something i'm
portant doing and has revived ru-
mors OF offers of purchase of the
property by important interest.
Whether revival of these reports is
attributable, however, to bear activ-
ity among certain of the holders of
the stock or whether it is the result
OF bona fde developments remains
to be seen.
About two months ago the stock
enjoyed slight boom by reason of
whispers of deal said at that time
TO be on between New York interests
and the Salt Lake holders of Fed
eral Ely. Later this was dashed to
earth by authentic information that
the reported deal had fallen through.

water rights in the county, beside

In the eastern. market yesterday
the coppers were active during the
greater part Of the day. The indus
trials suffered slight backset. which
was not without effect on some of
the coppers, fractional declines oc-
curing. In the east the belief is
gaining strength every day that the
worst of the financial panic has been
seen and in the general uplift OF in
dustrials coppers are bound to be in
huenced TO a great extent. The pres
ent is looked upon as the time for
the investor To get In.
If the market today acts as It has
during the most of the week a good
opening. with steady rise in all the
good ones is expected for the second
week in May. II Is believed that the

and that they will be leaders in the
upward trend. New York closing

Power of Negro.
Columbia, January %: Senator b.. H.
Tillman addressed the general assem-
bly, here tonight, taking for his SUBJECT
the Race Problem and its Relation 10
immigration"
He discussed the race problem in It's
various phases. advocating the repedi VI
the fifteenth amendment ana the en-
cuuragement of immigration TO TINS
state as a safeguard against negro uolh-
ination. He pointed out that with the
aid the southern states are now giving
toward educating the negro coupled
with the assistance of northern philan-
thrOpists. the negro will soon be able TO
comply with the constitutional require
ments of this and other states in the
matter of suffrage. He said that unless
the fifteenth amendment is repealed
that within few years the states or
South Carolina, Mississippi and others,
in which the negro now predoml-
mates, the blacks may come into power
and govern the whites. In order 10 head
off such a contingency he favored bring
ing to South Carolina as many desirable
aliens as this state could get.
He stated that his experience ana
personal contact with the people OF the
north and west demonstrated that the
negro was hardly in as good favor in
these sections as he is in the south, that
they were just BEGINNING to learn
something about the negro. he pe-
Iieved that the voters of the north
would Join in with the voters or the
south in ar effort to repeal the ntteentti
amendment, giving as. reason the nalio
primaries he had taken in every state
of the union.-Spartanbu Herald.
