EMPIRE THEATRE

Of the many recent big New York successes shown in motion pictures, none have achieved more favorable comment than the pictures of Edward PepIe's melodramatic farce of laugh ter and thrills. sThe Spithre,'' which has only just been released in motion pictures and will be shown for the first time in this state Friday and Sat rrday at Keeuey's Empire theater. The pictures of this wonderful play Daniel Frohmans the famous produc- ing manager which in itself is con- vincing proof of the excellence of the picture The principal role is as- sumed by the popular photoplay star,
 The play is best described as a bright, breezy tale of romance and mystery at sea The story of the theft of a heart, yacht and a case of jewels are sunfoIded in the play and the many scenes are crowded with sen sation and one startling climax after another.
 ..The spithdes' in play form was written by Edward Peple who has con- trfbuted numerous big New York suc- cesses. Among his notable plays are "A Pair of Sixes,'' at present the reign ing success of New York where 1t is drawing capacity aud1ences at the Lengacre theater; 'tThe Littlest Rebel, ? played by Dustij and William Far mum and The Prince Chap, origin ally used as a starring vehicle by Cy~ l. Til Scott.
 Because Of the action and .aensa- tionaIism that have characterized all of this clever authors play. they are particularly adapted to motion pie lures and .'The Spitfire." which has just been added to the motion picture market is easily one of the best plays ever turned out by MT. Peple.
 With the coming of summer, every effort is being made by Walter B. Belts, manager of the Empire, to in sure the comfort Of his patrons 1The theater is thoroughly ventilated and kept spotlessly clean and in addition. a cooling plant. the only one of it's kind in the city whereby cool air is constantly pumped into the theater, has been installed.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET,
Weakn ness In Anaconda.

One OF the curious habits Of the stock
market Is at times to ignore bad news
Tor several days. Thus Anaconda did not
seem to feel the full force of the unfavor-
able annual report published last Mon
day until yesterday. At 31a. the stock
was at the lowest price Of the year, and
also less than / per cent above the low
or 1913. The position Of Anaconda for
the time being at least outweighs all
other considerations In regard to Anal
gamated. This is not illogical, since the
latter derives the great part Of Its income
from dividends paid by Anaconda. In
this connection much adverse criticism
has been directed against the scheme to
sell the International Smelling and Re-
filming Company, now owned by the Anal
gamated, to the Anaconda. 1t Is proposed
to make the exchange on the basis Of
3.3 shares tpar value S25; total. &S2.50)
Of the former for each 500 of the In
ternational. The circular sent to the
stockholders says that the International
needs money and declares frankly that II
would be unwise to attempt to sell an
Issue OF stock. The Anaconda has man.
aged to get on so far without owning
smelter. SO that 1t would appear that II

The discovery that the Chesapeake
and Ohio has undisciosed assets in the
possession OF coal lands "worth several
million dollars now and probably many
more millions In years TO come did not
prevent the stock from declining to within
hailing distance OF the low level OF the
year. Apparently holders OF Chesapeake
are more concerned with immediate ques-
lions, like the payment OF the next few
dividends. than in the future. Beginning
with the coming fiscal year Chesapeake
has agreed to spend sl7,o0o,000 in in
stalments covering the next hve years
upon the property before paying out any
thing In dividends. There Ia much curl
osity about the next dividend to be de-
clared n fortnight hence. because earn
ings are sufficient for a distribution AT
the regular rate and because there was
no provision in the agreement under which
the recent note issue was made against
doing so. Those who believe the divi-
dend will be cut to a safer figure rely on
the understanding that the management
has gone back to the old policy OF pay
ing small dividends and building up the
prODerty.

Ono OF the most interesting market
Developments Of the day was quick
slump in Missouri Pacific late in the af-
ternoon, ostensibly on a rumor OF hitch
In the negotiations by which new banking
interests are to take care Of the financing
OF the property. The stock sold back to
IS in short order. which seemed to indicate
that Il had been In n rather vulnerable
position above 20. There has been heavy
trading in Missouri Pacific on its recent
rise and presumably weak bull account
was created on the theory that the pros
pect OF a change OF control would cause
a swift and immediate advance. A sig
nificant point In regard to the speculative
position OF the stock Is n remarkable In
crease in the floating supply in the last
few weeks. An inquiry among what might
he termed fairly representative commits
sion houses shows that quite a surprising
amount OF stock is carried niscellaneosuly
about the Street This big increase In
the supply and the return OF some 10000
shares OF borrowed stock corroboratc the
theory OF extensive inside liquidation dur
ing the present year. The present condi
ton Ia striking because II Is exactly the
opposite OF what was apparent before the
decline In price. The result OF all these
DEVELOPMENTS seems TO be that at Its
present level Missouri Pacific has become
quite a popular speculative favorite.

The selling movement in Northern Pa
cific has followed close upon similar
movements In Canadian Pacific. Great
Northern, and TO a smaller extent. Erie.
That Is curious because these stocks gen.
orally speaking are usually grouped to-
gether as being held by the same class
Of investors. Another point about the SELL
ing of Northern Pacific Is that II has APP
parently been conducted by a frm which
10 supposed to act for big stockholders In
the Hill roads The theory Of the weak
ness OF Northen Pacific up to now has
been that It was caused by the prospect OF
big refunding mortgage. Needless to
say. financing of this kind entails no sacri-
Ace on the part OF stockholders and Is, on
the other hand calculated TO place the
company in n stronger position financially.
An explanation that fits the case better.
perhaps. is the story that liquidation has
been going on in all these stocks for the
account OF the trustees OF the Strathcona
estate, who are under the necessity OF
raising some $4,000 to meet the British
death taxes

No Arbitrage Business.

The present London market in Ameri-
cans is a very small affair. Tho daily
turnover at present probably In hardly
more than would be done by one big
spcculator here In a fairly active day.
Wall Street has therefore come to the
stage where It practically ignores early
London prices. Yesterday the market
here opened strong despite a list from
the other side showing nothing but de-
clnes except in the case OF Wabash pre-
ferred. Even arbitrage trading has
ceased. The London quotation for Steel
at the opening on this side was 30, while
the first sales here were at 59'g. Even
this relatively large disparity was not
taken advantage OF by the arbitrage men.
As one OF those spectators explained: ;
"lf I should sell 100 Steel here at 59'a
I should probably be unable TO buy more
than ten shares, the unit OF trading on the
other side. so as to make profit. the
market over there Is so narrow"
