LsTLEss UNDER PRESSURE OF
UNCERTAINTY-O NOT
FAVORABLE FOR IMMEDIATE
CHANGE FOR BETTER.

The market yesterday was entire
ly professional and became stagnant.
Withdrawal of interest is attributed
TO uncertainty as TO just what may
be going on behind the scenes and
determination TO await developments.
The street has been filled with ru-
mors which have failed to make good
and the purpose of which is not un-
derstood. In addition there is felt TO
be less certainty as to the action of
congress with regard to tariff sched-
ules than was felt a while back.
when 1t was thought assured that re-
ductions would be along very mild
lines.
The Ely coppers held firm yester-
day and are in good position to take
advantage of any turn that may oc-
cur in the market for the better.
Eastern advices last night indicate
that such turn is not expected dur
ing the present week. Probabilities
are that today and tomorrow will
witness continuation of the lethargy
and uncertainty of the last few DAYS.

TO IMPROVE SILVER MARKET
senator Guggenheim Sees Hope Tor

Senator Simon Guggenheim. of
Colorado. speaking of the silver out

amount of silver each month to be
used for subsidiary coinage have
information which causes me TO be-
lieve that European governments
would not be adverse to entering
into a contract 10 purchase silver for
subsidiary coinage In specific and at
the same time liberal amounts. The
action suggested would materially
advance the price of the white metal
but above all il would save the mar

YERINGTON OIL OUTLOOK.
Well i'm Mason Valley to be Driven
ZOO Feet.

p. {. Carberry, president OF the
Yerington Oil and Gas company.
went to Goldfield yesterday to con-
fere with Tex l,iekard, who is heavily
interested in the company, to make
arrangements for the purchase of
heavier drilling rig and tools for the
putting down of the hole to a depth
of 200 feet, says the Tonopah Sun.
The company has $500 acres in the
north end of Mason Valley. The oil
shales and sands are in plentiful evil
dence. T. NJ Hammond. who ex-
tmined the surface indications in
report to the company says that the
company has excellent chances of
finding oil or gas. or both. and devel-
opments will be watched with great
de-; of interest
The company is drilling in large
basin The hills surrounding the
basin are of basaltic formation, and
the best opinion available is that the
oil and gas are confined to the under
ground depths of the basin in ques-
ton. The company has drilled to
depth of 400 feet, and as soon as the
new rig with the heavier tools is on
the ground, drilling will he continued
to the 1,200-foot point. The COM
mpany is strong financially. and If
the oil or gas Is there they will get IL.

WHY G|ROUX IS
ADVANCING
MOVEMENT OF BONDS THROUGH
INTEREST OF COL. WALL SAID
TO BE EXPLANATION-DENY
BREAKING OF CONTROL POOL.

From a usually well informed
source the report is given out that
the advance in the price of stock of
the Giroux is traceabe TO heavy buy
ing of bonds of the company by Col
Wall. of Salt Lake, and eastern as
sociates affiliated with him in mining
enterprises.
Col. Wall was here several weeks
ago. spending the greater podtion of
a couple of days In inspection of
the Gironx mines and mill. Follow
Ing his inspection he expressed him
zRlf as highly pleased with what he
had seen and declared the Gironx a
good stock buy. II is understood that
since then he has put considerable
money into the $2.000,000 bond is
sue of the company and advised his
associates to do likewise
In the stock markets the manner in
which the Giroux bond issue hung
fire for a considerable period un-
doubtedly had effect in keeping the
price of the stock down. It was
known that the company needed the
money to carry out the plans formu-
lated for 1t and the public held of
until the bonds should be taken up.
As the story now goes. the action of
Col. Wall and his associates has put
new phase on the situation and es-
tablished the confidence which was
previously lacking.

Up To-day,
Union Station TrackaEe Bill To lie

While this isn't, according 70 present
indications. TO be a District day in the
House, there is a great chance that some
interesting District business will be dis
posed Of on the floor and in the various
committee rooms.
Representative Sims the champion Of
the anti-gambling bill which designs 10
put out OF existence the race-trGek evil
al Berning. will to-day attempt TO call
from the Speakers table the antl-betting
measure as amended by the Senate and
returned 10 the House for concurrence.
The action OF Speaker Cannon several
days ago, when Mr. Sims tried 20 have
the bill called up, seemed TO show that
the ruler OF the House will not shut OF
the efforts Of the Tennessee member
when the proper time comes.
Representative Smith, chairman Of the
District Committee. will very probably
succeed in reporting 10 the House the
Union station traekage bill II Mr.
Smith does gain the Speakers eye the

EASTER PARADE is CURTAILED
Threatening Weather Keeps Pretty
Gowns at Home.
Only Young Persons Take AdVnn-
tage of Sunshine in the
Afternoon.

Although the weather man had pre-
dicted showers for yesterday there
were many people in Westinghouse
would be safe to say the majority Of
them-who did not place absolute reliance
IN the forecasters guess. The weather
man. however, kept his promise, and let
it shower a wee little bit at o'clock.
The quantity and quality of the shower
were so indnitesimal and Insignificant and
satisfactory that practically no notice
was taken Of it.
The weather however was so threat
enlng an day that the Easter procession
of new hats. new frocks, new coats. new
waists. new shoes, happy and smiling
faces up and down Connecticut avenue
and the other fashionable thoroughfaTes
came practically TO naught The annoy
ing high wind would have wellnigh ruined

forth 20 show her new Easter things.
The streets, however. assumed some Of
their wonted Easter aspect % bright
eolors and happy faces about church time,
but none of the promenaders fingered any
longer in the open air than was necessary
The wind was too strong 10 make walk
ing pleasant no matter how costly and
stunning the new bonnet or how per-
fectly lovely the new gown.
Old Sol came out good aud strong at
o'clock, and inspired many with re-
neWed confidence in the final outcome OF
the day. There was yet a chance. and
Connecticut avenue assumed some Of the
old-time aspect of EasteTtide. Those who
took advantage Of she suns reign. how
ever, were mostly younger persons, who
made the best OF It under any eireum-
stances. and who evidently enjoyed them
selves hugely.
