NEW LINES IN OKLAHOMA.
Route Surveyed for Kansas City, Sa-
pulpa and Southwestern.

Guthrie, Ok, June 1.-THE route is
being surveyed for construction Of the
Kansas City, Sapulpa & Southwestern
railroad. which was chartered two
years ago, and surveyed at that time
from Joplin, Mo, southwest through
Sapulpa to Shawnee. 1t is probable
that the old line will be again estab-
lished and the original survey adopted
for the route. Between Sapulpa and
Shawnee the proposed line will tap one
of the most fertile farming sections
of the state, especially adapted to po-
tato and truck growing. A tour of in
spection over the proposed route was
made during the past week by party
headed by w. H. Henderson, chief en-
gineer.

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, February o6.-The cotton

considerable strength. The close was

ing for over the week end, and as soon
as overnight buying orders had been
executed the active months eased off to
net decline of about Sa10 points in
consequence. But spot houses were big
buyers of May on this decline. while
there were further rumors that large
shipments from the local stock would
be made to Liverpool. These reports and
the character of the near-month buying
rendered short sellers cautious, and after
selling at 14.24 May firmed up to 14.52.

attributed the poor showing of Liverpool
to American selling, and it is reported
that prominent London authorities are adj
vising spinners to provide literally for
their wants. on the ground that the

Albany Scandal a JOY.

The stock exchange is filled with joy
over the prolongation of the scandal in
quiry at Albany. AS long as the legis-
lature can be kept busy with its own
housekeeping it will have no time to en-
gage in reform work elsewhere. The in
timation is further conveyed in inside
advices from Albany that the Black
Horse Cavalry is actually turning the
scandal to it's own advantage by using
it purposely as a method of holding up
and defeating action on very much de-
sired legislation in all directions. It's
an ill wind that blows no good to the
political craftsmen at Albany and to the
interests they represent.

NEW YORK, February 26-All that the
stock market did today was to sag. De-
clines were not great. The market closed
above the lowest of the day and the &C
ton of prices was no more than might
have been expected. in view of the fact
that in the main through the week the
tendency of values has been IL anything
slightly upward and that today was the
natural time for traders realizations-
Nevertheless. a general feeling was
very noticeable during the morning that
whatever harder undertone had been wit
messed in the security market during the
week had been due to the favorable
result on net balance of purely personal
operations and were no signs that the
large financial interests were at the mo-
ment in any way responsible for the
trend of values. It may be that rehec-
tions of this sort more or less accelerated
the days recessions.

but it did not serve to encourage specu-
lative sentiment. An adverse influence
was also exerted by the numerous signs
of restlessness on the part of labor.

LONDON.

LONDON, February 26-Trading on the
stock exchange during the week has been
generally steady, with broadening bust
ness In speculative issues. but restricted
operations in the investment sections.
Rubber shares continued active, and the
market was wildly excited under fresh
speculation, following the high prices re-
allied for raw material at Thursday S
auctions. Oil shares had burst of
strength, followed by a reaction. with
renewed activity and advances at the

velopments and the favorable outlook,

continued heavy under the uncertain po-
ltical situation. :. &c delay in arranging
the years financial needs, the large gov
eminent borrowings in the shape of
treasury bills and the coming war loan
redemption restricted operations and
caused sagging tendency. Grand Trunk
shares advanced steadily on large pro-
vincial buying, while Mexican rails i'm
proved on good traffic reports.
American securities were much quieter,
pending the Supreme Court decisions in
the various trust cases. The market
moved narrowly until Friday, when Wall
street support advanced values but inter
est slackened, and today the gains dis
appeared under realizing. The market
closed Gull. with final quotations rang
ing from unchanged to 1h point low

Nashville was an exception, and showed
a gain of ~ points.
Money was firmer today, despite large
dividend payments. Discount rates were
steady.
Trading on the stock exchange finished
the week quietly steadied. even rubber
and oil shares showing a more subdued
tone although values were well main
tanned. British shares were neglected
owing to the political uncertainty, and
Indifferent Paris support caused irregular
changes in Kaffirs and foreign bonds.
Mexican rails were firm.

Not Likely to Be Lower.

Yet, in consideration of the notable
movement against this country in the
foreign exchange market this week, re-
sulting in further exports of gold. and
the approaching withdrawal OF money
from this center for use in the interior
incident to spring agricultural operations
IL may be questioned whether 1t Is not at
least clear that as low rates for money
have recently been seen as there will be
for period of several months to come.
The movement of prices in the stock
market was compressed within such small
limits this week that there was practical
ly no change of importance in any one
leading stock. nor have there been any
noteworthy developments in either the
business or the financial world. For one
thing. 1t is to be remembered that the
winter vacation season Is now at its
height, and that the number of prominent
men now absent from the field is larger
than it will be probably at any time dur
ing the year.
The stock market of the week dis
played. on the whole a firm undertone
and close observers of the trading de-
clared that the market was such that
large quantity of the stock could easily
be sold If slight concessions in prices
were made. On the other hand, no
speculation or other financial interest
seemed DESTROYS of following prices up
ward with renewed buying orders, and
the result was. seems likely to be
for a further indefinite period, a dull
embarrassing and featureless security
market. According To some reports, mer-
camille and industrial business has in
the last fortnight undergone some i'm
provement. ether statements are that
objections are poor. that demands for
higher wages are proving vexatious to
manufacturers and employers generally,
and that the unusually severe weather is
making great inroads upon railway net
earnings.

Premature Alarm Over Wheat.

\ pleasing incident of the week was
at one time decline in the price of cot
ton which, if it was continued, would
bring great relief TO the dry goods trade
and to the country's general export bust
ness. But later on this decline or a.
good portion of it, was recovered, while
the wheat market became firm under re-
ports of an alarming nature regarding
injuries to the winter wheat crop re-
Gently sustained from freezing and
thawing." The opinion is still among
those having experience and possessed of
a fair amount of common sense that the
outlook in general is for large crops in
the coming year. which, inasmuch as
they will he sold for comparatively high
prices. will afford stimulus to- trade
and industry. There will certainly be
an enormous planting OF the cotton crop
and it Is known that the winter wheat
acreage has been greatly increased. The
condition OF the grain was higher in De-
cember, and as regards damage stories
indications in this respect can only be
gathered with the coming of warmer
weather.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
NEW YORK, February %. 1910.
In a news sense this is about the dull
est season of the year. with the possible
exception Of the torrid days Of midsum-
mer. The stock market lis waiting for
something decisive to happen. 1t is wait
ing on the crops, on politics, on labor agi-
tation and on more information al to the
general business situation.
In the meantime q new topic for mis-
cellaneous popular discussion has come
into the foreground and is consuming the
time and gray matter of the spectators
and hangers-on around the financial cen
tiers. This topic, which is seemingly ell
tirely fresh and unexpected to the mob,
is old and stale to the students of finance
and economies. For the last ten years
writers and speakers on economic sub
jects have been talking about the in
creasing gold production and its effect on
prices. They seem to have made small
impression on the general pubic, Whlcn
apparently regarded it as too deep for
IL To give serious thought to.
All at once it has jumped into promi-
nence as topic of general conversation.
Taken in connection with the agitation
about the high cost Of living, it has sud
denly loomed into prominence as pos
sible factor in the making or prices 1or
securities, for be it known the stocks
which people buy and sell and gamble In
are after all very correct register OF
appraised valuations. They represent In
concrete form the true measure of the
real value of properties worth $2O,OOO,OOJ,-
QUO to $3O,OOO.OOOO0O, giving direct EN-
ployment to several million men and OIL
rectly affecting the prices Of all commodi-
ties whether produced from the soil or In
the manufactures.
1t is a tremendously big subject, and
in the first grapple many people who
have heretofore given it only casual at
tention find it too much to handle intel
ligently. Some very queer arguments and
propositions are advanced in connection
Herewith. Clearly a broad campaign OF
education is yet necessary for correct
understanding Of the proposition. The
chair warmers in the brokerage Offices
know as little about 1t as the veriest
yokel in the backwoods Of Podunk town
ship.

Affected by Silver Slump.

American Smelling and Refining stock
was particularly weak because, doubtless,
of the fall in the price of silver In the
foreign markets in the last two days, due
to the still unexplained action of the gov
eminent of India in increasing the import
tax on silver brought into that country.
Neither the Norfolk and Western nor
the Pennsylvania shares appeared to be
measurably affected by the general I'M
derstanding that the recent advance in
Norfolk stock had been due to the &C
QUESTION by the Pennsylvania of COM
plete majority control of the issue. The
English stock market appeared to have
passed into an attitude of allegiance pend
ing what is felt to be something of a re-
newed political crisis in the country.
So far as could be seen, a factor in the
market was in way the expectations
of an unfavorable bank statement. which
was. however, realized in considerable
particular. Under both actual and aver
age forms of the retnrn a loss in cash
was shown and surprisingly heavy In
crease in loans, which resulted in both
returns in further reduction in the bank
surplus. What seems to be going on in
this regard is beginning of the move
ment Of money to the interior Of the
country that often puts in an appearance
around the present date. The surplus
still stands at a very comfortable figure.
