unity to dispose of the bonds now at
$3.50.
The Western States supplies Stockton
and vicinity and Eureka and vicinity

P1acerville and Lodi and vicinities with

j. c. Wilson'S Stock Letter

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Prices ruled
firm today, although the market was
dull Southern Pacific was really the
only laggard We believe Southern
Pacific is certain to maintain It's pres-
ent dividend rate and is cheap around
80. Other stocks, like Atchison and B.
and O., are not earning as much on
their common stocks as Southern Pa
cif1c. The latter may be slow, but has
the advantage in price Can stocks
were bought by traders, who belive all
back dividends will be paid on the pre-
ferred at the next period. The market
may develop weakness after President
Wilson reads his Mexican address. "
But we can hardly see where it can
have more than momentary effect.

Mills Resume Operations,
London Reports Cheerful,
Copper Advances

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-There was no
expectation that today's movements in
stocks would reveal any definite con-
ciusions on the part OF the professional
traders, who have taken almost excIu
sive charge of the market recently
There was strong disinclination to
make new commitments pending the ex-
pected publication tomorrow of Presi-
dent Wilson's message on the Mexican
subject.
The undertone was fairly strong, and
in the early trading there was rather
general advance. The days news was
of the kind which makes for optimism
London was cheerful after the holiday
and American stocks We're generally
higher there. Further encouraging ad-
vices were received concerning the
steel trade. Several large New England
cotton mills resumed operations after a
long period of idleness.
Copper stocks were helped by, the ad-
vance of the copper metal in the Lon
don market and by expectations that
the forthcoming report or the Fro
ducers' association will reveal favor
able position.
Among the special movements Can
stocks were conspicuous, both the com
mon and preferred rising smartly st.
were strongest of the standard shares.
The Hartman issues Jagged behind
New Haven again developed conspicuous
weakness, falling more than points to
new low record at SO Is.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, $1.200,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
