moderate demand from scalTeTs The steady

Despite news from the South indicating better
demand for spots az steady prices, the market was
easier late IN the forenOon. and prices at midday
were only to points net higher, the carly ad-
vance having been lost under scattering liquidation

Prices Hold Up Despite Few
Transactions.

Outward Flow of Yellow Metal
Looked Upon as Good Indication.
Relieves Troubles of Financial
Concerns Abroad Plethora of
Money in This Country.

New York. april 22.-Insofar as deal
ings in the stock market proper were
concerned to-day, the changes in prices
and the volume Of the dealings itself
were so small as to deprive business
Of significance.
The market was somewhat stronger.
and closed at an irregular mixture OF
trivial advances and declines. and, al
though total transactions were somewhat
larger than they were yesterday. and not
a little above the recent daily average.
they stiil did not testify 90 anything re-
semoling the stirring Of speculative activ-
ity.
In other respects, however, there were
indications in the market that were by
no means devoid Of interest. Prices were
again characterized by that peculiar
steadiness and frmness that for several
days past has impressed itself upon the
attention of all observers. II there We're
no signs of any great rising movement
IN values. there was visible. neverthe-
less. a hardness Of market undertone
that bore witness to the sold out and
hQuidated condition of affairs.
Little regard was paid this morning
TO the further spectacular rise in Ameri-
can Beet Sugar stock, since this Is a
security which has al no time engrossed
more than a small share of public at
tention.
Easily Manipulated.
The stock is held by a comparatively
few people, who can manipulate it up
and down at their pleasure.

ment Of the largest batch OF gold export
engagements for the year were also little
Needed. Five million dollars in gold was
taken for shipment to Paris. making a
total Of S5o0,000 since the movement be-
gan. Naturally. in response to this. ster-
ling exchange weakened somewhat but
the general belief was that before the

reached would be very largely increased,

decidedly advanced.
Plethora of Money Here.
Whether or not such a rise in rates
could be procured through a reasonably /
heavy withdrawal Of government money
from the national repositories seems at
the moment quite uncertain. But, how
ever considered, the plethora Of money in
the country is so great that the OutgO of
gold is looked upon as a helpful occur
renee rather than otherwise, inaSmuch as
II serves TO lend ease to other financial
quarters Of the world that are in a state
Of relative strain.
1t is duly remembered, moreover, that
an outflow Of gold after a period OF 1nan- !
cial panic in this country has almost in. |
variably taken place, and that the money /
situation here on such occasions, and the /
financial position in general has been 4
by the shipments. The fact I
is, indeed. that despite the outgo Of /
money. bank reserves here were larger /
after the shipments than before.

SAYS OUR TRADE
IS INCREASING

TOXIC, March 6.-In reply to
some of the American journals which
are predicting a decline in American
trade in Manchuria. on account of
Japan's discrimination, one who is in
close touch with the authorities here
says that reliable statistics show that
the contrary is true and that Ameri.
can trade in the province has adj
vanced remarkably since the Russo
Japanese war. The fact is, he says,
THAT goods from the United States are
flowing into Manchuria more stead
lily than into the old market of China
proper.
American oil especially has shown
most remarkable progress, crowding
cut Russian oil to such an extent as
TO make it appear as If Japan has
Tough: Russia for the sake of the
American product. Other American
articles are also taking the place OF
the Russian goods in Manchuria Ac.
cording to this authority American
imports into Manchuria in 1908, in
Guiding the material for the South
Manchurian railway. are expected to
amount in value to $9,000,000.

FRACTION WILL
Change owners
MURPHY AND MYERS CLOSE our
THEIR CONTROL THIS
WEEK.

The passing of the, Combination
Fraction into other hands, which was
predicted in these columns nearly
month ago, will be consummated in
day or two. Al D. Myers and Tom
D. Murphy, who have controlled the
destinies of the company ever since
the ground was located by Myers,
will step down and out. All the de-
tails for the transfer of the controll-
ing interest have been made, and
probably at Reno tomorrow the pa
pers will be signed.
What price is to be paid, or who
are the purchasers, could not be
learned. One story was to the effect
that Charles S. Gates and his asso-
ciates were the parties to whom the
this idea is secuted by those who are
close to the Gates party. They are
not after lawsuit in the purchase
, of any ground, although very anx-
ious to secure a mine like the Frac
ton if the little question of apex
rights had not cropped up.
The most reasonable theory is that
/ the ground will be taken in by the
Goldfeld Consolidated Mines Com
pany No confirmation of that story
could be secured, but it is pretty GER
| tain that when the stock is turned
over it will be found that the Con-
4 solidated will be the owner of the
desirable block of ground which lies
between the Jumbo and the Combin-
ation both owned by the merger.
That will mean that another one oil
those vexatious apex suits will be
settled out of court and for the bene-
fit of all concerned.
A little ore that went fairly good
pay was found and shipped under
company management, but what
brought the property into the lime
light was the discovery made in the
lease operated by Lotus, Davis and
Sweeney, and the stock went soaring
to over Sc a share. These lessees
put down a shaft to depth of over
500 feet, and during the short life
of their lease heavy production was
sent out, and it was all high grade.
They tried to get an extension of the
lease, but failed, and it is under
stood that a few days before the ex-
/ piration of the lease the richest ore
that had ever been encountered in
the mine was entered in one of the
drifts. The total acreage owned by
the company is only about fourteen
acres, but it is situated right in the
heart of one of the richest gold belts
in the world
George B. Holleran, Tom D.
/ Murphy and Others connected with
the sale, will leave this morning fol
, Reno, where the final arrangements
/, will be completed. The former is
. one of the large minority stockhold
ers. but when seen last night refused
