The report OF a big discovery of the
property Of the California Petroleum Com
pany which came to Wall Street this
week is interesting for more reasons than
one. First OF all there is the suggestion
in this story. IL IL is true, that tn. Cali
fornia Petroleum property may turn out
to be more valuable than is implied by
the current level to which the stocks
have recently fallen Further. IT is ques-
toned whether this new "gusher' may
not have been entirely unexpected in the
sense that the calculations OF those in
charge of the property have also been
upset by II. 1t has been commonly UNDER
stood that the stock OF the California
Petroleum Company was distributed In eN-
traordinarily complete fashion and that
control OF the company was simply main
tained by = voting trust agreement

Union Popular1sed.

The prospect Of Union Pacific ex dis
tribution has encouraged speculation as
to where It may be expected to sell. De
Quoting the 80 per cent. extra dividend
from the current price would automat-
ically bIdng Union Pacific down to 1875.
but It IL commended that az an y per cent.
stock Union Pacific should really sell
relatively higher than II has, paying 10
per cent. The reason advanced Is that
big price for stock 10 always con-
fusing. 1t 10 suggested that as an 8 per
cent. stock selling ut 125. and still more
10 20 q per cent. stock selling at IS. its
real value would he more evident to the
general public. Probably little light Is
thrown on the question by a simple COM
psrison with the relative prices and dlvi-
dends of other railroad stock. Reading.
tho only other prominent railroad stock
paying an 8 per cent. dividend, sells
around 40. or the i've leading z per-
centers Northwest sells at 100. Great

Ginning Estimate About co.

An Unexpectedly bullish Census Bu.
reau ginning report, issued Just before the

ing yesterday. Some OF the active posi-
tons scored advances Of nearly So q bale.
taned TO the close.
The report gave the amount Of cotton
snned to January 1 as l3,33S.074 bales,
compared with 12.so7.4o5 bales In 1918.

when the period ginning was disclosed

pool and southern sources. incidentally
sentiment toward the market underwent
a considerable change and many Of the
recent bears were talking higher prices.
Unless the amount of cotton remaining

oentedy light II seems reasonable
10 expect total crop of not much less
than 100000 bales. This conclusion
IS based on the belief that linters and
repacks will contribute 100000 bales and
that the ginning from January 1 to the
end will yield 5000 bales.

The New Fable Of the ealloplng Pill
grim Who Tried to Sit Down
by the Waysde.

A certain afluent Bachelor hap
pened TO be the only Grandson Of a
rugged Early Settler who wore a Coon
Skin Cap and drank Corn Juice cut Of
a Jug, Away back in the Days when
every Poor Man had Bacon in the
Smoke House, this Pioneer had been
soaked in a Trade and found himself
loaded up with a Swamp Subdivision
in the Edge of Town.
Fifty years later the City had
spread two miles beyond the Swamp
and Grandson was submerged beneath
so much Unearned Increment that he
began TO speak with what sounded to
him like an English Accent and his
SHIRTS were ordered from Paris.
On the 1st of every Month the
Agents would crawl into the Presence
Of the Grandson of the mighty Musk
rat Hunter and dump before him
Wagonload of Paper Money which had
been snatched away from the strug-
Cling Shop-Keepers, who in turn, had
wheedled 1t from the People who paid
a Nickel apiece for Sunday Papers so
as to look at the Pictures Of the Deco
rations in the Supper Room at the AS
sembly Ball graced by the Presence Of
the aforesaid Bachelor whose Grand
father had lifted the original Catfish
out of the Chicago River.
Then the Representative Of the Old
Family would take a Garden Rake and
pattern all this hateful Currency into
a neat mound, after which a milk-fed
Secretary would iron it out and disin-
feet It and sprinkle it with Lilac Wa
ter and tie it into artistic Packets,
using Old Gold Ribbon.
After that, 1t was Hard Lines for the
Bachelor, because he had to sit by
Window at the Club and dope out
some new Way of getting all that
Coin back into Circulation.
AS a result of these Herculean Eff
forts to vaBorize his Income, he found
himself at the age of 40 afflicted with
Social Gastritis. He had gorged him
self with the Pleasures of this World
until the sight of a Menu Card gave
him the Willies and the mere mention
of Musical Comedy would cause him
to break down and Cry like Child
He had crossed the Atlantic so often
