should be something definite in regard
to the probable ssize OF the crop.
Copper stocks disappointed their
friends to-day. remaining heavy. al
though the metal was advanced to l67E
a pound. The copper metal Situation Is
sound. and recession OF more than q
cent from current prices need not be
expected this year. The heaviness Of
the stock Is undoubtedly artificial. for
all the companies are making such large
earnings that dividend advances must
come next year as a matter Of course
The mystery OF Quicksliver's advance
was explained to-day when President
Charles A. Nones announced that he Is
about to begin suit for a large amount
in the interests of stockholders on ac-
count OF former improper transactions.
Mr.. Nones refused 10 state the exact
nature OF the litigation. but Il is ex-
pected that large sum Of money viii
be turned into the treasury Of the Quick
silver Company as the result OF the in
vestigations. Quicksilver was a popu-
lar trading stock in Wall Street fifty
years ago. but in recent years II has
been inactive. because II has been gen.
orally supposed that the mine was near
ly exhausted
While the paper stocks are very spec
ulatiye. from a stock market point of
view. II is a fact that all these paper
companies are making large earnings.

WALL STREET NEWS
New High Records Made in Day
Of Active Trading-"T. B."
Sentiment Seen in Street.
By THOMAS c. sHOTwELL.

y
New York. May iL-Another day Of ac-
tive trading in Wall Street left the
stock market on a materially higher
level. Steel and Union Pacific, which
were conspicuous for their heaviness the
previous day. were the market leaders,
at times displaying considerable buoy
ancy Steel made most Of its advance
In the early part Of the session and. to
the great surprise Of traders, held most
OF it throughout the day. Union Pa
cifc was strong eariy. in the day, and
then became dull, but just at the close
il forced upward nearly q point and
ended at the high price.
Some new high records were made. the
chief one being Canadian Pacific, which
rose to s65 "a, an advance of more than
four points for the day, leaving the stock
at the highest price at which Il ever
sold. Other high records we're made IN
bag and paper. This. stock is influenced
by big earnings in addition to pool ma
hipulation. The manipulation, however,
has a substantial basis. for II is expect
ed that the company viii earn this fiscal
year the full I per cent on the preferred
stock and at least 1 per cent more
Angio-American on was the other rec
Ord-breaker. the stock crossing 20.
International Harvester moved be-
tween low and high 81 points. This is
one Of the stocks that is being busted
by the government The mere beginning
of proceedings against the Sugar Trust
for the same purpose has created an in
tensely optimistic situation. Sugar is
earning 20 per cent and paying per
cent on the common stock pool has
taken hold Of # with the idea OF putting

solution proceedings are successful they
propose to lut IL to about go which

Roosevelt in Wall street.
People are beginning to notice that
every time Roosevelt makes show Of
strength, the stock market turns strong
also. and this is creating the suspicion
that speculative Wall Street is really
back of his campaign. The only theory
on which this would be possible would
be that some kind of a deal Is arranged
whereby dissolution suits will be brought
against numerous corporations, whose
stocks have been hard to advance.
Along with the advance of Steel Cor
poration stock, Great Northern certih-
ctates moved up a triie. About the
same time a rumor appeared to the ef-
feet that the Republic Iron and Steel
Company might take a lease on a sec
ton or the Hill ore lands. 10 is al
ready known that the trustees will or
ganize company to sell the ore.
Can stocks are quiet. and this led the
street to believe that the Reid following
would be. shifted into Rock Island and
Lehigh Valley. There is no sign Of i'm
mediate activity in Rock Island. and
this state OF rest is probably due 10 the
bad earnings reported by the company
early in the year. Rock Island runs
through the heart Of the corn land. and
II is' not likely that any great activity
will be seen in the stock until the corn
planting season is advanced far enough
TO make It sure that a great crop is a
fact. Corn is planted up to the middle
Of June, but by the end of May there

To the Editor: In these days when
so much is said about the square deal
why would II not be a good thing to in
crease the membership Of the Board OF
Commissioners to ive-the Engineer Com
missioner, as now being an ofi1cer OF the
army. and the remaining four to be ap-
pointed from each Of the four sections
OF the city, provision being made that
each Of these four Commissioners should
be a bona fide resident Of the section
which he is appointed to represent. By
such an arrangement each section OF the
city would receive proper attention and
discrimination in favor OF any particular
section would not then be shown as Is
now frequently the case.
The trifiing expense-the salaries of two
additional Commissioners-would not be
felt, and IL would seem that much good
could be done by such an arrangement.
