CONFUSION IN
STOCK MARKET
Some Hesitation on Account of
Alleged Dubious COndi-
ton of Things.
CROP REPORT ONLY FAIR
INTEREST RATES ADVANCING
COPPER STATISTICS.

New York, June ia good deal of
confusion marked the movement of Sc
curities last week, and this gave rise
to or was the index of uncertainty in
the opinion of the operators I'm the
stock market. Continued control was
asserted by powerful speculative forces
by the vigorous marking up in the
prices Of stocks here and there Of d
class calculated to exercise strong In
fuenCe on sentiment.
Reasons were sought in the course OF
events for this mixed appearance OF
speculation. and some developments
were held to be sufficiently dubious IN
their implications to account for the
hesitation in the action of the stock
market, although confidence in the
progress Of improvement of business
and industry was impaired.
The Crop Report.
The government report on June / on
conditions of grain crops received close
attention from financial observers, and
it failed to offer the full encouragement
hoped for as TO the promise of the har-
vests.
The disposition to realize profits on
favorable developments was strikingiy
illustrated in the action Of the Southern
Pacific following the announcement of
the plan for the retirement of preferred
stock. United States Steel showed the
waning effect of the project to intro
duCe the stock on the Paris bourse.
The statistics of the Copper PrOduc-
ers' association for May confirmed the
belief in the definite check to the accu-
mutation OF stocks, the deliveries Tor
the month having exceeded the In
creased product by upward of 1900, 900
pounds.
Advance in Money Rates.
Interest rates on money advanced in
all markets during the week Rates
both for call and time loans were high
er in New York. and borrowing from
foreigners was extended There We're

New York exchange market, believed to
be in connection with opera tons of the

I'm Paris
Southwestern money centerS reported
some stirring of demand for funds in
preparation for the movement of the
crops. The approach of the half yearly
settlements viii involve some prepa-
ratiOns for the large disbursements
then. Some withdrawal of government
deposits from the national banks AMI
a government bond hotation are looked
forward to. and some important finane-
ing remains to be provided for the
large corporations.

MIA Gold Mine Deal.

AS was stated in these columns yester-
day. another big deal has been consum-
mated in the mining section lying between
Indiana Ranch and Dobbins, on the old
Laymance place, says a special to the
Sacramento Bee from Marysville. YGba
county. California.
The successful promoter in this instance
| is ]. J. Cusick, a mining engineer. and
the purchasers are General Charles s.
| Warren Of Butte Mont. a mining man
of wide experience ahis son. ". W. War
rem, mine expert Of Gold Circle. New;
X. T. Brannan. wealthy speculator and
property owner Of Cleveland, o.. and Pro-
lessor F. G. Mitchell of the same place.
Brannan's expert These men. at the sug-
gestiOn and instance of Cusick. Travelled
from their respective homes i'm the east
for no other reason than to view the min
ing properties in which they invested Sat
urday.
As stated yesterday, the mines which
they have purchased are the Red Cross
and Golden Star, owned formerly by
Joseph Krupp and ]. A Oueensn. the
Good Templar, owned by Williams Bros.
an unnamed claim owned by Chester
Merriam. and eighty acres from the Yuba
Gold Mines company, of which Cusick is
the principal.
w. W. Warren. who is to remain in
California to look after his fathers mines.
says new machinery and pumps will be
installed at once in the Red Cross mine
and 3OO-foot shaft sunk in such a way
as to develop the Merriam portion, as well
as the Red Cross.
The capitalists assert that they have
options on $500 acres more in the same
section, as a result of their visit to Cali
fOrni8.
They would not give for publica ton the
amount OF money paid out for tine mines.
Too Many Knockers.

eral Warren said to the Bee correspond
ent when speaking of his purchase II
says he not only got a mine, but one OF
the most delightful spots in California
on which to live.
In his opinion Yuta county has many
surprises in store along the line of devel-
Opment in her mining industry. He thinks
a veritable KiOndike lies within her
boundaries and within easy grasp He
finds, however. that those who have gone
into the business ahead of him have
turned knockers. seemingly to dissuade
others from sharing in the benefits. H.
recites the instance of Il stOckholdaT in a
mining scheme near his meeting his party
with a shotgun when they CHANGED to
drive onto d portion of the adjoining claim
last Friday. The man did not expect to

WASH1NGTON.- navy depart
w meht experts figure that the
United States navy will he the first in
rank in the world when the four new
battleships proposed by Secretary
Newberry have been completed.
The approximate time of the COM
pletion Of these ships is the close of
the year 1911. BY that date there
will have been completed these four:
The Delaware and Dakota and the
Florida and Utah.
The specific points made by the ex.
perts, however, is that the four new
ships which have been suggested are
to be of 25,O00-tons displacement each
and will carry eight 14-inch guns
Such a squadron of battleships will
be unlike and superior to anything in
naval history, both as to displacement
and to main battery.
The astounding but absolutely true
statement is made by the navy ex
perts that the 14-inch guns will be
eHecuVe at ten miles. 1t is also stated
by these experts that Great Britain
after the appropriation by congress
for the four proposed battleships, will
never be able to regain it's lead in
modern battleships over the United
States. England's greatest proposed
battleship, the Fondroyant, is, accord
ing to the details in the United States
naval bureau of intelligence, inferior
to the Florida or the Utah.

IT is pleasant to have Senator Black
/ burn back in our midst again, to see
his great, stalwart form swinging
through the streets, to meet his semi
cynical, semi-humorous smile and to
feel his hearty hand clasp, but it is
difficult to think of him in any en-
vironment save that of the senate
chamber where he passed so many
years. There has never been a mem.
Der of that distinguished body more
frankly, more genuinely and generally
popular than Joe" Blackburn. No
matter how widely one differed with
him in politics, it was impossible not
to like him, for there is nothing about
him to dislike. He is prince of good
fellows, generous friend and a mag
unanimous foe. When the battle is on
he fights with all the fight there is
in him, but he is as quick to forgive
