Word came from Virginia City that the south

was advanced 3 feet over night and yesterday
morning the face still showed 515 feet of high

somewhat TO the west of late. has now ken
regular southwesterly course. such as it should
have. and this Is very favorable for Consolidated
Virginia. as the vein is well defined and strong
and has been steadily improving. There are no
old workings in that part of the mine in the
block of ground from the 900 to the $500
level and no lateral drifts have ever been run
from the Ophir or Consolidated Virginia into
that territory. This gives 500 feet in depth Of

The first oil bearing formation was encoun-

700 feet. and from that depth down TO the
bottom of the we'll less oil has shown
in the formation all the way. AT several points
both the oil and gas showngs have been ex-
ceptionelly strong. From the time that depth
of 500 feet was attained the oil flowed over the
top of the casing at short intervals and on a
few occasions the gas pressure has been so
strong that the oil and water from the we'll
were thrown clear over the top OF the crown
block. This is an unusual showing for the
Santa Paula field.

TIME MONEY IS
QUOTED EASIER

NEW YORK, Dot. 2l.-The ad-
vance in stocks which was pushed
with vigor during the earlier .por-
.tion of the day. encountered some
q hesitating and irregular tone.
a retrograde movement in the
latter part of the day left final
prices lower than the previous
days close. How far the halt in
the speculation may have been
position did not appear In any
action of the money market itself.
The call loan rate was unaffect-
ed and the tone of the time money
market was called somewhat
easier. Estimates of the weeks
currency movement. however, in
dicated another substantial i'm
pairment of the cash holdings of
the banks through the renewed
demand from the interior.
The subtreasury absorption
proved smaller than last week,
reaching only $1.217,000, but the
total decrease with the interior
shipments included was much
larger, some estimates running 10
more than $4,000 The proba-
bility thus is that the only way
the banks can have avoided an
impairment OF the surpr.s was by
continuing the policy of trans
pahiss. The process serves -
kfep pp the banking pusition "r
its face. but the encroachment on
available supplies of credit is go
ing on, even though no actual IN
creas of loans occurs
The London discount market
was strong today and the effect
was to carry foreign exchange rates
another degree nearer the level OF
profit on gold exports. This combi-
nation of circumstances bearing on
the money market position seemed
TO arouse the solicitude of the
speculative element.
The pronounced pressure against
the copper industrials gave color
to a supposition of clearing in
market sentiment between great
financial groups. The decline in
coppers was in sympathy with
sharp advance in London price Of
the metal, which was accompanied
by a corresponding advance in the
price of copper securities in that
market Reports of labor troubles
on the Missouri Pacific hurt that
stock.
Bonds were firm. Total sales
(par value). s3,51s.ooo.
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.
NEW YORK, Oct PIE. F.
Hutton & Co.'s wire says: Prices
of stocks were carried to new
high levels in the earlier part of
today's session, with very large
transactions This character of
manipulation looked like prepar-
ations for a reactionary tendency
and the professionals were quick
10 take the hint and sold stocks
freely. There was very little news
in the street to create any marked
sentiment in either direction, and
the general disposition appeared
TO be TO follow the tape entirely.
The stock market continues to
remain in a. strong position as a
result of very little public partici-
patton in the present rise. The
market, we believe, can still be
bought on wea kness.
