STOCK MARKET
SHOWS STRENGTH
Oil Again Features on New

Generally Cheerful.
BANK ELECTIONS TODAY
Financial Institutions of Washington

GERS and Directors.
BANK ELECTIONS TO-DAY
BY w. sTEALEY.

Something like old-time activity and
cheerfulness prevailed at the opening OF
the New York stock market yesterday.
Steel common at s. rs Reading above lIV,
and Union Pacific at Isl IL encouraged
short covering and a little outside buy
ing.
Early activity spent its force before
noon, and the leaders became dull and
fractionally lower in the late trading.
Pronounced Improvement in the steel
trade at Pittsburgh brought United states
Steel common into prominence. London
took some 5000 shares, paying up to
603-S
At last the activity in the Standard
Oil subsidiaries finds reflection in the oil
stocks listed on the exchange. Texas
Company closed at 1i5 after fluctuations
that ranged from 143 to 149. Mexican
Petroleum on sales of less than 4,OcO
shares advanced from 81 to So. and Cali
fornia Petroleum was actively dealt in
between 3 1-2 and IS. Rumors were as
signed for the sudden activity, but the
opinion is held that the shares were en-
titled to the rise in view of the ad-
vances that have occurred in the outside
issues.
Minor steel stocks were active at bet
ter prices. SchIoss-Shefield and Repub-
lie Steel gained 2 points, and Bethlehem
Steel was fractionally higher.
Coal Stocks Strong.
Jersey Central jumped up points, but
Reading, the parent company, failed to
show any improvement. Other coal
stocks were strong, Lehigh Valley SELL
ing up to I52 IL. Many of the minor
officials scored advances, and traction
stocks were firm.
Bonds continue consistently strong.
Trading is good in volume, and dealings
show a broadening tendency. Attention
has been directed to Seaboard Air Line
adjustment IS selling about I6 1-2 and
earning several times the interest re-
quirements.
There was a fair rally in Rock Island
collateral that carried the price to so.
Conditions in London show little bet
terment; consols were easier. The 5000
800 l-2 per cent Sachewan loan was only
a partial success, Is per cent remaining
On the hands CT the underwriters.
Now that the clearinghouse institutions
have the largest surplus held at any time
within ten months, it is expected that
bankers here may bring out some OF the
lons-delayed financing.
Speculative interests are restrained by
the holding up of the Union Pacinc
melon" the withdrawal of the New
Eaven bond issue, and a new attack on
the New York Central system There is
growing sentiment favoring higher
prices, but considerable uncertainty as TO
which stocks will be chosen as leaders
Railroad stocks will be uncertain until
a decision IS rendered on the Eastern
freight rates. The metal shares are in
fiuenCed by the staSnatiOn in the mar
ket for copper. Traction stocks are strong,

Cotton Duck Bonds,

The committee formed to protect the
interests Of the holders OF Mount Vernon
Woodberry Cotton Duck Company first
mortgage per cent bonds no longer con-
ceals its belief that the iuferest due on
March / will not be paid. for yesterday
it announced that 'the company is with
out funds to pay the coupon due March
], 1914, and the management has advised
that the payment will not be made. The
company has exhausted its working cap
ital and accumulated a large floating debt
in excess Of its current assets. The re-
adjustment of the company's finances
and securities is inevitable, and a de-
lay will greatly increase the loss to the
bondholders." The effect OF the an
nouncement was to further weaken the
market for the bonds, which broke 5-S

Delay in Disbursements.

So called January disbursements of divi-
dends could well be termed February dis
bursements owing to the slow collections
caused by the income tax act. While
the cash is ready for the coupons, there
win be thousands of them which won't
be cashed until late in January, owing
to difficulties attached to filling out the
income tax declarations. This means
that a lot Of the cash which is supposed
to come back for investment In the mar
ket during the first week of January
probably will not arrive until later in
the month and even into the first week
of February.

SEE TROUBLED SPIRIT
MANY AVER IT Is THE GHOST OF
MATTHEW vAssAR.
Whether Or Not the Founder of Fa.
nous College Is Revisitlng the
Earth, the House He Lived
In ls for SALE.

The ghost Of Matthew Vassar
founder of Vassar college, Is said to
be haunting an old farmhouse. once
owned by him, on the New Hacken
sack road between Red Oak Mills and
New Hackensack.
Within the last four months three
families have moved from the place
in terror. The present owner, who
SCOTS at the report, has nevertheless
placed "for sale" signs on the old
house, as he cannot rent 1t.
Henry !. Stonebridge, a Schenectady
man, who turned farmer for his
health, moved from the house recent
ly. The spectacle of the ghost stand
ing at the foot OF their bed was too
much for Stonebridge and his wife.
The apparition, they assert, exactly
resembled the best existing portraits
of Matthew Vassar.
The Stonebridge family had occu-
pied the house but one month. For
some time uncanny noises had been
disturbing their sleep. 1t sounded at
times as though some person were
walking up and down the front stairs.
At midnight peculiar noises would
come from the cellar The sounds re-
sembled groans and dreadful moaning.
One night about ! a. m, as near as
Mr.. Stonebridge was able to tell, he
and his wife were awakened by a
feeling as though cold fingers had
been passed across their 'throats.
They opened their eyes almost stimuli
taneously and saw a ghostly figure,
which stood erect with finger pointed
straight at them.
Without sound the specter moved
away from the bed and vanished
through the open window. One expe-
rience of this sort was enough for Mr..
Stonebridge, who at once began pack
ing up his goods.
John C. Rogers farmland, occu-
pied the old house four months ago.
and was the first man to move there
from because of the ghost. He says
that 1t permitted not an hours steady
sleep after midnight His oldest
daughter walked one night and saw
the ghost of Vassar pacing back and
forth over the floor without making
sound. The young woman screamed
and brought her father to the bed
room. but by that time the wrath
had vanished. The same thing hap
pened on the following night. The
family then moved in haste.

Wireless for Sea Mines.

Manrico Compare, an Italian elec-
trician. has invented wireless sys-
tenn for exploding mines at sea. The
American consul at Leghorn, in re-
porting successful demonstration OF
the invention. says the instrument
was placed in small building in a
park Two mines were put In the
sea about 450 feet from the shore and
so to 100 feet apart. The inventor ex-
ploded one mine and, after a brief In
terval. the second one. The distance
from the aperture to the mines was
about $500 feet. Raised ground with
trees. solid stone fences, and build.
ings. and a stretch of water came be-
tween the apparatus and the mines.
Three naval boats with wireless ap-
paratus on board were about one and
one-half miles farther out at sea, and
the wireless station of the Royal Naval
academy was within mile. The
two tests demonstrated that the
manipulation OF the apparatus could
control the destination OF the waves
sufficiently well to explode the mines
separately.

Artificial Pearls From Gelatin.

A new process of manufacturing ar.

the methods heretofore employed In
the quality OF the finished product.
while II Is less expensive than some
processes now in use. II Is based on
the fact that certain alkali phosphates
have the property OF rendering pure

are used as nuclei for the artificial

on q gelatin-coated plate glass. On the

ring around each bead, is then applied
with a small brush the phosphate 30.
