Local and Mining Stocks Quiet
Fine Showing Of Oil Companies

of the oil stocks: During the last two years
the steady and healthy increase in the de-
mand for crude oil has had its effect on the
prices OF oil stocks listed the California
STOCK and oil exchange. The increase OF prices
has not been spectacular, from a stock ex-
change point OF view, but comparison between
the prices of two years ago and today shows
a marked advance.
THAT the trading In these stocks has not
been immense is due solely to fhe fact that
while buyers are many, sellers scarce. The

NEW YORK, April 30-The stock mar
ket today was dull and little impression
was made on prices by any of the events
which came into consideration. The ex-
cessive dullness was. partly due to the
interruption of communication with the
western part Of the country by the storm.
Few orders were received from outside
sources and news of conditions in the
storm area was scanty.
Prices. were held UP to some extent by
the sympathetic effect of the strength in
special stocks. Union Pacific was sup
ported and its recovery from yesterdays
decline had much to do in aliaying the
apprehension regarding the speculative po-
sition caused BY that decline.
Beading had the benefit of the signing
Of the agreement over the wage scale
with the anthracite miners and of the
good showing of earnings for March re-
ported by the company.

phone companies.

The last day of the month and Friday
offer a double occasion for extra demands
on the money market. 1t was not until
late in the day, however, that an inn
preston was made on the call loan rate
by the preparations for the May / pay
ment and for carrying over stock market
accounts until Monday next The harden-
ing Of the money market early in the
week has had the effect Of attracting
funds to New York from the interior, as
shown By the rise in the premium on New
York exchange at Chicago from 10 70 rs
cents yesterday and 80 cents today per
$1,000.
The receipts by the New York banks
on the interior movement during the week
have exceeded the shipments to the
amount. IL is believed, of nearly 81, COO, 600.
The subtreasury operations, however, have
taken s4,676, 600 from tie banks during

sugar rerning company on account OF its
