NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 1S-speculatve spirit
was rampant about the stock exchange to-
day and professional traders were quick tc
follow any signs OF an ncipient movement In
any quarter of the list. In the neighbor-
hood Of the exchange the market was de-
scribed as Hartman Rockefeller affair
The supposition OF influential leadership in
the buying was based on the fact that bank
ers credited with being the accepted mod
ium of stock operation by the great groups
OF capitalists were open buyers on a large
scale of various prominent stocks, espec.
tally Union Pacific, st. Paul, Reading and
Southern Pacific. The rapid rise In price,
OF various stocks and the sudden manner in
which they would start up into strength and
activity from comparative quiet were mark
ed features of the day. In some OF the
more dormant issues these violent upshots
were followed by a sudden relapse, suggest.
ing the successful pursuit of an uncovered
short interest in the stock There was Q
striking movement during the day In this
stocks of the Gould properties as O group.
In spite of a sharp rise in the price OF
copper in the metal exchange the copper
shares were not prominent and were, In
fact, reactionary in the early trading.
The engagement Of more gold for export
TO Germany and France was without effect
on sentiment
After the late period OF profits the
market closed with the bull faction appar-
emily in continued control

DEPOSITS or MEERSCHAUM.
agent Of the Geological survey Discovers
Masses Of II I'm New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Deposits Of
meerschaum have been located in New
Mexico. according TO a report made to the
Geological Survey by Douglas B. Sterrett,
one of its special agents. These deposits
are in the upper ella River Valley, one about
twenty-five miles northeast Of Silver City
and the other at a mine about twelve miles
northwest Of Silver City. Mr.. Sterrett re-
Gently visited the deposits and secured
samples and says that these samples when
tested contained iron stains and particles
Of grit and we're inferior to the meersohaum
Of Asia Minor. He says. however, that the
more compact massive material may per-
haps be found free from stains and Of better
quality at a greater depth.
The Dorsey mine visited by Mr., sterrett,
living twelve miles northwest Of Silver City,
is in the bottom and walls Of the cahon Of
Bear Creek. This canon has steeD cliffs
about 100 feet high at the base and other
cliffs above rising 10 a height OF several
hundred feet. The rock forming the canon
walls is chiefly light and dark gray to brown
ish gray limestone. with some sandstone
strata included. The mesrschaum occurs
i'm veins, lenses, seams and balls In the
limestone. All but the balls are filings
Of fractures and Joints which do not seem
to be confined 10 any definite direction.
The veins are filled with ebert, quartz,
oalcite, clay and meerschaum.
The principal source Of meerschaum
supply has been for many years the deposits
in the plains Of Eskishehr in Anatolia, Asia
Minor. about 100 miles southeast Of Con-
stantinople, Deposits Of the mineral are
also reported to occur in Greece, on the
island Of Eubea; in Morayia, Austria, near
Hrubschitz; in Spain, nea Vallecas, Madrid
and Toledo, and in Morocco.
Meerschaum is a principal article for
manufacture into pipes in thriving in
dustries in parts Of Germany and Austria.
The headquarters in Germany is at the
town Of Ruhla in the Thuringian forest
According to figures from Consul George n,
LIT Of Annaberg, there are between 1900
and4, 900 w~ordnen employed at the industry,
which was started in 1897, II is said that
the supply Of meersohAum Is becoming low
and that the manufacturers experience
great difficulty in obtaining the necessary
material 10 keep their factories going. This
scarcity is said TO be caused partly by fail
ure OF the mines in Asia Minor TO meet the
demands of the trade and partly because
American and English agents have gained
control Of the Asia Minor production.
Similar difficulties are reported in the
Austrian meerschaum industry.
