NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-There was a very
irregular tone in the stock market at all
times today. Stocks which are often left
in an obscure position for long periods were
made conspicuous with successive spurts to
high prices but the tone of the general list
was dismally heavy. Later there was some
Improvement in the general list but weak
ness was general at the close.
The individual advances, while sensational
to a degree, had no cause to explain. The
bad effect produced by the engagement Of
$4,000, 900 for shipment to Paris tomorrow
was due rather to its indication of condi-
tions in London than in any direct effect
apprehended in the local money market.
The movemet is a measure OF rellef Tor
London and Paris demand, as yesterday
engagement for South Africa was a relief
from the demand from the source in
London
The London discount rate was sharply
affected today and reports were received of
a probable advance in the discount rate IN
the Bank of England movement by that
institution to accumulate gold. The dimen-
sions of the inward movement of cash to the
New York banks deprives this prospect OF
any power to alarm sentiment
Bonds were firm. Total sales par value,

NEVADA
BURRIS GAINS CONTROL OF
THE Ell PASO CONSOLIDATED
COLORADO SPRINGS colo.

COLORADO SPRINGS Colo, Jan s.-After
a fight of twelve years A. l.. Burris of this
city has succeeded in. gaining control of the
FL Paso Consolidated Mining company, of
which he was elected president yesterday, to
succeed S. S. Bernard, who has held that
office for the last six years. The fight for the
control Of the famous mine has been one of
the most sensational ever waged over Cripple
Creek mining property and at the annual
meeting year ago Burris came within a mar
row margin of having the control Of the ma
jority Of stock. Since then he has secured the
aid Of many Colorado Springs, Denver and
Pittsburg stockholders, who yesterday voted
the stock necessary to land him in the presi-
dency.
In the Ell Paso mine one of the most SEN
So tional gold strikes in the history Of mining
has been made and the property has paid
more than $1,000, 900 in dividends before being
flooded with water two years ago.
The Roosevelt deep drainage tunnel which
will be completed within a year, will open
the property to a depth of $50 feet below the
present workings Burris has risen from the
humble work of a mucker in a mine He is
now 20 years old

Dun's Weekly Review

NEW YORK. Jan. S.-R. G. Dun and com
pany's weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Credit and confidence are established on
a firmer basis at the opening of the new
year than at any time in the past fifteen
months. Progress is steady and naturally
slow, but is along very safe and satisfactory
lines
Changes in prices this week are more sig
nificant but generally in the direction of
frmness. Iron and steel mills continued
well occupied on business previously booked
and new orders are constantly being placed.
Some of them for large quantity.
There is evidence Of renewed activity in
the steel trades
Easier tendency in hides is due to the
seasonable deterioration of the present take
off and not apparently to any inherent
weakness in the market. Holders generally
are firm. There is a tendency to firmness
in the foreign markets.
Leather continued dull. but prices of most
descriptions are firm in anticipation Of a
renewal of the demand in the middle of the
month.

ACCIDENT FATAL TO
FAMOUS ATHLETE
DR.. Oscar N. Taylor, Noted
Berkeley Fullback and
Coach, Dead

DR.. Oscar n. Taylor, prominent San
Francisco clubman and physician and
one of the best known athletes OF the
west during his university days at
Berkeley, died at the Lane hospital
yesterday as the result of tragic
accident which befell him while he
was attempting to operate on his nose
about month ago. In the operation
the physician drove an instrument into
the base Of his brain by hitting it too
hard accidentally, and his life hung in
the balance until yesterday. when he
succumbed.
Grief and mourning are expressed at
the University of California. where
Doctor Taylor has coached the foot
ball team.
Doctor Taylor was graduated from
the University of California with the
class of 1894, after having established
a brilliant record as student and as
an athlete. being known on the foot
ball field as "Old Reliable" because of
his dashing style of play and his won
derful punting ability, in which he
outclassed all fullbacks in the west
Doctor Taylor took up the study of
medicine and after finishing his course
Travelled around the world. When he
returned to California his love for
athletics drew him back to Berkeley.
and he has acted as coach of the foot
ball team as we'll as practicing medi-
cine.

ONLY TARIFF IN
SIGHT IN CONGRESS
Aldrich Program Is All Made
Except for Opposition
Speeches

WASHINGTON. May 23.-The senate.
program for this week includes nothing
but the tariff. and there is no prospect
for any OF that spice which is said to
be the result OF variety. Night sessions
are probable.
No plan of operation has been out
lined beyond that OF hammering away
at the various schedules as persistently
as possible This is Senator Aldrich's
program. and nothing but set speeches
of strong opposition by other senators
will cause him to deviate from It.
The lumber schedule, taken up yes
terday. will on Monday continue to re-
ceive attention, and IL is expected that
Hepburn OF Idaho will conclude his re-
marks. He is pleading zealously for
high duty on lumber, while his neigh
Dor, Senator McCumber of North Dako-
Ia, Is just as earnestly exerting hime
self to prevent the imposition of any
lumber duty whatever.
PROSPECT OF CONTROVERSY
The prospect is still for much con-
troversy. With the lumber paragraphs
disposed of the finance committee will
undertake to have the senate gather up
the odds and ends OF the tariff bill
which have been passed over, with a
view to cleaning up as much of the
measure as possible before the cotton
and wooden schedules are reached. on
which ahere will be much discussion
and sharp conflict. 1t is not probable.
however, that either of those shedules
will be reached during the present
week
Senator Aldrich will continue to urge
the fixing of a day for a final vote on
the bill. He is not sanguine of i'm
mediate success and discourages all
morbid prophesies Of an all summer
session.
FOR THE CULTIVATE CONSUMER"
The ultimate consumer. the scapegoat
of the tariff discussion in congress, is
being enlightened on many questions
through the publication OF facts
brought out in debate.
Some of this knowledge brings no joy
to the heart of the ultimate consumer
for he finds in many instances he has
been deceived.
Apropose of the senate discussion re-
garding the necessity for protecting the
American cottonseed oil industry. Spe-
cial Agent Julien L. Brode of the de-
partmente of commerce and labor has
sent information from Marseilles that
the American "ultima.e consumer" has
been using his own cOttonseed oil for
his salad dressing in the belief that it
was pure olice oil" from France. BrOde
adds in kindly spirit that the French
pure food law and the short crop of
olives is going to boost the price of real
olive oil for the ultimate consumer"

KING LOTHAIR'S BOOK OF
HOURS SENT TO BERLIN
Ancient Manuscript Left With
Monks i'm Year S5Z

The Royal library in Berlin has just
become possessed of valuable manu-
script, which has been acquired at
cost of $4,000. 1t is the Book of Hours,
which formerly belonged to the Carlo
vingian King Lothair. 1t is on vel
lum, and contains 46S pages, and was
produced by the monks of Tours, who
were noted for their caligraphy in the
literal sense of the word. The illumi-
nations are so fresh that it almost
seems incredible that they were pro-
duced many centuries ago. The
king, about the year S52, entered the
monastery of the Benedictines at Prum,
and at his decease the book became
the property of the monks. then it
was placed in the archives of the
church of ST. Maximum at Treves by
M. Goerres, a well known writer on
church subjects. 1t was recently sold
by his executors, and has thus come
to what in all probability will be it's
permanent home.
Tom Dillon just received another
