PRICES RISE WHEN
RUMORS COLLAPSE
Bears Cover Shorts Upon Dissi-
patton of Belief Prevailing
of Certain Conditions

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE semi
stagnant stock market of last week
reflected the growing torpor OF the
speculative spirit and the determina-
ton to await the clearer outlines of
the business future. Such strength
as last weeks market showed was
attributed largely to the demand from
the bears to cover up the short COM
mltments made the week before on the
supposition that a pinch in the money
market might follow the heavy deple-
tton of the cash reserves of the clear
ing house banks and also that the
American Japanese agitation in Cali
fornia might afford subject for dis
turbance of the markets.
BEARS COVER SHORTS
As these suppositions were shown to
be groundless the bears covered their
shorts and prices rose The transfer
OF cash from the clearing house banks to
the trust companies vaults was known
to strengthen the real position and
credits were accorded with correspond
ing freedom, although the demand for
credits is meager. with prospect of con-
t1nuance of this condition until more
active trade shall develop. The fiscal
operations OF the government offer the
only likely source Of disturbance As for
the japanese question the rise in Japa-
nese government bonds day after day
while the discussion was IN progress
was taken as the truer index of the
situation by the financial world The
hnal action of the California legisla-
ture Will be accepted as full conffrma-
tlon of this opinion. Foreign infiu-
ences were also distinctly encouraging.
me clearing of the foreign money
market situation relieved the New
York market of a moderate source of
pressure of liquidation of foreign
holdings of American securities.

the Reforma Mining & Milling com.
pauy at Campo Morsdo in the state
OF Grerrero. Mexico. The consider
alton is 10000 geo pesos or 100000
900 American. Should the purchase
be finally consummated the deal would
prove the largest mining transaction
in the history of Mexico. The sell
ing company is controlled by the Or
tiz family of the City of Mexico. The
properties cover surface area of
$500 acres and the total workings
have a total length of over six miles
A concentrating plant and two lead
smelters have been in operation for
some time. and the intention IS to
install in the near future a pyritic
smelter a1d an aerial tramway thirty
miles long. The output at present
amounts to over $1,000, 900 gold per
annum. but there is no doubt that
this can be augmented considerably.
The Exploration Company, Ltd,
controls already many big mining
properties in Mexico and the United

political situation for about a year.
The committee is convinced that
it will be easier to secure good gov

responsibility can be vested in few
conspicuous officials, instead Of be-
ing scattered and subdivided among
obscure office-holders.
Accordingly, the committee recon-
mends new charter. following in g
general way the Galveston plan; the
entire city government being vested
in a council of FIVE men.
This simple plan, 1t is declared,
will give less room for political ex-
pertness, and will put the average
citizen on practically an equal foot

the element of comfort and enjoyment

A DYING WIFE
SEEKS HUSBAND
WITH ALMOST LAST BREATH
SEEKS AID OF PoLIcE-WRITES
A PATHETIC LETTER AND
PLEADS FOR SOME WORD FROM
HIM BEFORE SHE DIES.

While his wife lies dying Of tuber
cuIosis, somewhere in this wide, wide
world, WendalI z. SanbOrn, formerly
of Boston, IS seeking work or has met
death in the search, says the Jack
Sonville Metropolis.
Pleading with almost her last
breath that she be aided in finding
him, Mrs. Sanborn has written 10
Chief Vinzant, of the local police de
partment, to make a search for him
here. Sanborn is thought to have
come to Florida and has not been
heard from since he left Wakefield,
a suburb Of Boston, Mass, on No
vembeF 6, 1908.
Resigned to her fate and believing
that nothing can save her from death,
the woman asks only one thing OF the
world--the return of her husband.
From the tone of her letter death
would be robbed of some OF its pangs
by a sight of him who to her ts dearer
than all else. One sight or his race is
all she asks.
Letter TO Police.
Her letter to Chief Vlnzant follows:
