OH stocks Again Rise.

An interesting feature of the financial
situation is the strong recovery made by
the market for the outside oil shares
since the demoralized break about
month ago. All the OIL stocks have been
very strong this week. In most cases the
ground lost on the reaction has been sub
Stantially recovered. and In several con-
sp'cuous instances such AS Prairie OIL
ana south Penn new high record prices
are being reached. The Inference from
this development seems to be that the
collapse OF few weeks ago was simply
boiling over OF speculation which for
the oment had become topheavy and that
II ala not indicate the culnlnat!on 81 the
advance. IL seems that what was rather
generally looked for. namely. wholesale
liquidation from the outside public. was
not occasioned by the sensational slump.
AS long as the public faith In the future
OF these properties remains undisturbed
II Is impossible 20 predict the end of this
most extraordinary movement

tanned its nrmness throughout the ses-
sion. What there was In the way Of ac-
tivity WAS practically confined to the first
three hours. The afternoon was a stag
nant period with prices steady, There
seemed to be nothing more to account for
the movement of quoted values than has
been the accepted espla nation for some
time, namely, the in and out transaction
OF professional traders. The approach of
the week end stimulated a DISPOSITION to
even up commitments and Us midweek OBJ
erntions had been largely on the selling
side short covering was apparently re-
sponsblo for the markets upturn. The
Stock Exchange community was pervaded
with a copious abundance OF bullish ru-
mors and tips out Of all proportion to the
volume of dealings or the fluctuations OF
the share list.
About as definite constructive encour-
agement as was furnished from any quar-
ter came from n moderate amount OF for
eign buying following a sharp rally in
the London market, which succeeded early
declines induced by the weakness of po-
sitions involved in the Brazilian and
Mexican crises and by the more or less
general failure OF the recent new security
underwriting promoted in London. So
far as Wall Street was concerned there
was nothing to show that stocks were
exhibiting any definite trend or that there
had been any change In situation
marked for weeks by supply of stocks
only at advances and the appearance OF
buying only at declines. Mexican AFFAIRS

was, however made on the signs that the
ADMINISTRATOR scheme Of extensive bust

horse that stands on the grass by the
side of the road right opposite the
station. Every afternoon the chill
dren come there and ride it. Some
time, perhaps, I'll take you there to
see it, for it really is worth looking
at
By the time Elizabeth's father had
finished telling her about Winchen-
don and its rocking horse and all its
toys she had almost-not quite-for-
gotten poor Marjory.
The next morning she took an
other of her dolls and went over to
Grace's house The girls, of course,
asked her what had happened to
Marjory. and instead OF spending her
afternoon mourning over her, she
told them all about Winchendon and
its toys. as her father had told her.

looked at the clock and it was 5
o'clock, and she noticed that it was
getting dark. The maid had gone out
for the afternoon, and as Frances had
been forbidden to touch matches she
could not have the gas lighted.
Her father and mother would have
been home earlier but that the train
had been delayed.
1t began to rain. Frances knew she
should close the attic window, for her
mothers dress was hanging by the
window. But she was afraid to go into
the attic in the darn.
However, she crawled up the stairs
quietly and quickly closed the window
and then started running toward the
stairs. But she happened TO glance over
in the corner, and there saw some' ing
white. Then she heard noise. She
was so frightened she fell to the floor.
When her father and mother came
home they called and called Frances,
but no one answered They searched
the house in vain until they came to
the attic, where they found Frances
lying on the floor with her dress over
her head. When she told her mother
about the ghost she had seen her
mother laughed and pointed to the
white curtain in one of the windows,
which was what Frances had seen.
Poor Frances was sick for a week
with fright.
