An advance like that in Texas oil stock
last week Is not an especially remarkable
performance in itself for a stock OF that
calbre But there is one feature to the
move which makes IL interesting. The
rise followed Immediately upon "A rather
curious development. That was the publi-
cation OF a letter purporting to have been
sent by several ex-ofiicials of the COM
pany. including "A former president and
two directors, asking the deposit of the
stock with a view to u sale at $50 or
better. The manner In which this task
WAS to be accomplished was not disclosed.
In fact there was an air OF mystery about
the whole matter. But the implication
was plain for those who believed In the
genuiucn'ss of tn. offer that some one
considered the stock worth good deal
more than II was then selling at. namely
l2j. Others who were inclined to be
sceptical might have arrived at the con-
clusion that even If the stockholders did
not accept the invitation to deposit the
accident Was calculated TO have something
OF N" same effect as II they had. The
sensational market prevailing for the
shares of the petroleum companies gener-
ally and the rumors that the Texas COM
pany in particular Is now earning some
thing like 20 per cent. on its stock.
probably helped the movement along.
Trading. It may be noted. was quite heavy
on the advance.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-01-11

II Ia plain that speculation for the de-
cline in Baltimore and Ohio last week on
the theory that the Union Pacific dividend
would put lot more stock in circulation
did not prove very successful. The In
junction against this special dividend
proved a strong factor In completing the
confusion of the short interest. But II is
quite possible that the stock would have
rallied even without this incentive for
haste. There was plain evidence OF over
crowding of tho short position on Tues
day, when the loaning rate on tho stock
dropped from per cent. to a slight pre-
MUM In u single day. There are still
those who consider Baltimore and Ohio n
short sale on its earnings quite apart
from the possibilities suggested by a tech
nically weak market caused by a sudden
Increase In the floating supply. Such pes
simlsts would de we'll not TO overlook one
great element ~ strength OF the Balti-
more and ohio. and that Is Its soft coal
traffic. The soft coal business is a ire
mcnduuslv Important Item In the road =
traffic. soft coal, unlike anthracite, Is
carried at unusually low rates because of
severe outside competition. Last year the
road carried 81. SO5. 500 tons at an avera ye
rate of .391 cents per ton mile. Total
revenue from this source aggregated s26,-
100000. The significance of the prospect
Of a favorable decision to the railroads In
their pending application for higher rates
to the r. q q. does not have to be pointed
out. An increase of 8 per cent. In the
rate on soft coal would have meant ST.
100000 more to the Baltimore and Ohio
last year That is equal to about I per
cent. on the common stock.

Among the various species Of the
genus Wall Street Spectator there is one
particularly cNasperating to the average
broker. He Is the type Of man who when

spared To explain in the greatest detail
the fundamentals of the present financial
situation and the manner in which future
events are expected to unfold themselves
Statistics of all descriptions were intro
dlccd into the dissertation. from which
the Inference was drawn that the long

The Copper Stoke.

An opinion on the prospect for the cop
ter stocks IL contained In the following
excerpt from prominent commission
hous" IT seems unlikely that the cop
per metal Will remain weak for any such
long time as IL did in 1911 and 1910, or
that copper stocks will fail to respond
when the metal again develops strength.
Copper consumption is now so steady that
variations IN production almost dominate
the broad movements OF the metal II was
the overproduction OF 1909 that prin-
cipally caused the low prices which
followed but during the past year the
output of the United States increased only
about 20 per cent, as compared with
normal gain of d per cent. Neither Ia pro-
duction likely in the near future to show
any rapid Increase. The porphyrcs the
past year increased their output only &c
per cent. against SO per cent. the pre-
Nious year, and their gain the current
year scarcely promises to exceed 10 or Ii
per cent"
