NEW YORK. January 1i.-Res sumption
II yesterdays. buying movement in stocks
was a feature at the opening today,
though in more moderate form. Early
transactions were conspicuous for the ex-
tent of the trading in United States Steel
and Reading. both showing smart gains.
Selling by traders. presumably for profits,
soon wiped out the greater part of Read
lngs advance, but Steel held compare
lively steady. The trading fell off in the
second hour. which was notable chiefly
for the strength of Lehigh Valley and the
cyrations of Goldfeld Consolidated, a
mining stock which closed yesterday at
"a and sold down to SO today. This issue
vas only recently listed on the exchange,
and at no time has had much support.
New York City Bonds.
The new city bonds were dealt in I'M
der contract form for the first time today
on the exchange, and il is now practically
established that foreign houses will take
4 large part may be so per cent, of the
entire 5000 900 issue.
The entire market sold of in the final
trading, with marked heaviness in New
York Central among the standard shares,
and material declines In a number of spe-
cialties. Announcement was made Of q
probable $2O,OOOO0O bond issue by the
Seaboard Air Line.
The bank statement more than fulfilled
expectations as to the cash gain. which
was over $26OOO.0OO The uncertainties

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, January 14.-Constant sup
port was not forthcoming in the wheat
cent net lower. Corn finished 4 to y
down. and oats on haA to y. Latest
figures for hog products were the same
as last. night to liz below.
Despite liberal purchases by leading
longs, wheat at no time today sold as
high as the close of the previous session,
One reason was that receipts here were
virtually equal In extent to the shipments.
SO that hope for a melting away Of sup
plies appeared as remote as ever. Big
shipments from Russia and the Danube
added to the pressure on the market, and
SO did news Of Australian and Argentine
cargoes being offered more freely and
cheaper than heretofore. Further aid to
the bears came from an estimate that A
per cent of 1910 crop was still In first
hands. Weather conditions for the fall
sown grain were also believed to have
been materially improved throughout sew
hours. In the absence of any positive
fresh encouragement for the buying side.
heavy feeling prevailed from the start
till the finish. May ranged from 1.O1h to

be given the very best material COM
piled with great care, so that you
may make up your mind with re-
spect to Buick Oil shares.
We do not believe there Is any
person who can go over our hold
ings and not form the opinion that
they are gigantic.
The development all around our
properties, especially Buick Midway
Forty, where the first well is now
rapidly approaching the oil sands, IS
accepted out in the field by all men
as definitely proving up this COM
pany's holdings. To begin to esti-
mate. the value of these properties
would be folly, for no estimate can
what we and others actually believe
them to be worth.
We want to take this opportunity
Of notifying all stockholders and ap-
plicants for stock that while we

ply for brief time, that We will
not permit this rate to last any
great length of time. Now Is the

Our special representative has just
returned from Kern county, Califor-
mia, where he was sent to make
special report on all Buick Oil prop
critics.
The No. ! Buick Midway we'll was
expected to reach the oil sands about
January l.. Unfortunately the boilers
burned out and all operations were
delayed more than ten days. Our
chief well driller has promised to
bring in the No. / well about Janu-
airy 81. Gas was encountered at the
2.S2O-foot depth, which threw
stream Of mud and gas mixed with
oil to the top Of the pipe. The
foreman in charge Of the well drill
ers expects to bring in a better we'll
than those which are today produc-
ing about this well.
All over the field Immediately adj
jacent to Buick Midway Forty are
located producing wells. The Buick
we'll No. 1 Is being watched very
closely by all oil men in this por-
ton Of the great field, for upon its
successful completion work is to be
rushed on other adjoining property.
The time which was lost In bring
ing In this well because OF break
down Of operating machinery has
been the gain Of the public.
On December 20 the price OF this
company 3 STOCK was dONdHCcQ 10
75c, because we believed our No. l
well would strike the oil body about
January 1.
Our office was swamped with let
tiers, applications, reservations and
kilograms and we decided to tempo
rarily permit the old price Of SOC to
apply until after the No. l we'll
comes in.
We will therefore permit applica
tions to be made at the old rate of
Soc until further notice, reserving
the right to reject any application
at this rate II we notify applicants
within q hours after such applica-
ton has been received In this office.
Now Is the time to buy Buick Oil
and to buy as much OF it as you can
afford to carry.
Here is an investment which we
believe Is Of the very best character
and filled with the greatest promise
Of large dividend earnings.

Renewing Complexions
By. Absorption

If your complexion is marred with
blotches, moth patches, pimples or
freckles, it is useless to putter with
powders and paints, lotions, creams
and things, in an effort to get rid OF
the trouble. Unless you have some
ability as an artist you'll mar your
appearance still more.
The new and rational way is to
take off the complexion itself, with all
its offensive marks. Just get an ounce
of pure mercolized wax at the drug
gist's and use at night same as cold
cream. Remove next morning with
water and soap, following with dash
of cold water. The mercoiized wax
absorbs the half-dead scarf skin in
faky particles, SO gradually no one
guesses you're treating your face
unless it be by the result. which is
truly wonderful. There's nothing like
it for restoring natural, healthy and
beautiful co:npic-sion.-AuIft Sally.
