REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
Late Upturn in Railroad
Shares After Rise in
Missouri Pacific.

In a market dull for the greater part
Of the day prices were maintained
fairly firm, and then yesterdays trad
ing ended with strength and activity.
Net gains OF point or more were gen.
eral among the more active railroad
shares. Business was slightly In
creased over that Of Thursday. but only
about 275,0O0 shares changed hands
London trading here fell off TO about
1000 shares. principally on the buying
side. The bond market was narrow
with little activity outside OF Rock
Island issues. State and city obliga-
tions were a trine frmer and Steel
bonds advanced a fraction.
Missouri Pacific after touching
new low mark OF 15A in the early
trading. rallied TO 10 and closed at lS'
with gain OF points on the day.
Rather circumstential reports were cir
culated that banking house not at
present associated with tho property
was making an Independent examina-
ton Of the road with a view TO assist
ing In the financing to meet the sZo.-
100000 notes due the first or next
month. This was. however. without
confirmation during trading hours.
Some of the more active railroad
shares had made gains earlier IN tho
day, but the general railroad list ad-
yanced in the afternoon on tho BELIEF
| that Missouri Pacifc's flnsncing had at
last been arranged for. Lehigh Val
ley. Reading and Union Pacific led In
/ the late upturn and closed with gains
/ Of over a point. Southern Pacific ana
/ the Hi roads made similar advances
and Canadian Pacific gained nearly 3
points. Steel was heavy for the greater
part OF the trading. breaking TO % In
the early afternoon, but rallied in the
last hour, and closed at bSls with
fractional gain.
Rock Island issues continued weak,
with no announcement as 20 the future
OF the road reaching the market,
though the dividend on the collateral
4s is due TO he defaulted to-day. The
common stock sold down 10 2H. the

lateral trust .bonds touched 3O1s. The
debenture rs Of the underlying railway,
which closed on Tuesday at 70A. after
opening at 20, broke TO 66i5. new low
record. The Rock Islands report for
March published yesterday gave an in
crease OF over S124,0O0 in gross and
$500, 900 in net.
Weekly returns of the official banks
in Paris and London were less favor
able. The increase IN gold by the Bank
Of France amounted TO less than p
10000 francs, against over 100000
the week before, and circulation ex-
panded instead Of decreasing. Tho
Bank Of England lost over f12S,OoO in
bullion, and the proportion OF reserve
to liability fell off TO 1927 per cent
from 1852 the week before. Bullion
holdings are well below the average for
the season, as is the reserve percent

to be renewed at ~ per cent, with
some money being placed as low as IL
per cent. The banks improved their
position on Clearing House operations,

None of the injuries proved to be
OF serious nature and the members

HON. T.. +. ROBERTS FOR
REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS-

While in the past ii has been an
easy matter for Representatives in
Congress to secure leave of absence,
a new ruling now in effect bars the
the members from drawing salary
for days that they are not actually in
the house. This ruling was made in
order to keep the Representatives at
their posts of duty inasmuch as I'M
porant matters are now before thai
body. Congressman Roberts is very
desirious of returning to Nevada in
order to carry on an active campaign.
but from present indications his po-
litical battle will be necessarily Il
very short one and will probably be
limited to the more thickly populated
part of the state. In the past he has
made it point to take in every local
ity. no matter how remote
f. f. Roberts is one man who has
worked for the interests of Nevada
No matter has been to small to re-
ceiye his earnest consideration
He has spent days endeayorirg u get
the postal department to restore Il
certain star mail routes in Nevada
In the mpor.sGt matter before
Congress he has proved himself to be
a leader and is recognized as such by
fellow congressman. He is the very
man that the pponlp of Nevada needs
ot represent them in the halls of
congress and should be returned to
that office he has so capably filled
during the past two terms.

Book on Dairying
In Nevada

Charles A. Norcross, commission
er of industry. agriculture and irriga-
tion, has just issued from thestate
printing office the bureaus ninth
bulletin, treatsise OF l5S pages, on
dairying in Nevada. Three thousand
copies of the bulletin already have
been distributed.
The book covers wide ground.
comprising a study Of dairying in
all its phases, and containing much
general information, as well as par
ticular data for Nevada. 1t is point
ed ont that of 22,000 milk COWS in
Nevada at this time. probably not
more than 1000 would return a real
profit to the farmer if tested for pro-
dnction of butter-fat
Commissioner Norcross takes the
stand that dairying in Nevada may
be reyolutionized and thai in five
years time. 5n.0o0 paving dairy COWS
could take the places of the $4,000
AtitiNaiia Aiii DlfHill uli
showing.
These COWS would consume the
iops from 10000 acres of land:
would give employment to 1900
laborers and would tend to change
the present condition whereby beef,
milk and butter are very high in
price while alfalfa hay, from which
they are produced is very low in
price and hard to dispose of
Testing thee ows that produce
milk, marketing all cows which do
not come up To standard, importing
improved dairy COWS and registered
bulls and substituting advanced me-
thods for those now in vogue are
the means suggested for attaining
the desired end.

sweating" one of the pair confessed
to the acts of hoodlism and begged for
mercy, agreeing to pay for all dam

drop prosecution upon payment for
damages done his automobile.

arrived. fully convinced that being

thank their lucky stars that the case
against them was not pressed in
court. thus escaping term in the
