Spectators Hopeful, But Cautious.

Surface conditions tended to promote
more cheerful feeling in the securities
market this week and in consequence
there was an upward movement in stocks.
The slow. cautious manner in which quo
tations were raised gave n fair repre-
sentation of the extent Of change in
sentiment.
Spectators were hopeful, but cautious.
So far as the news went it was mainly
encouraging: nevertheless none of the i'm
portant questions overhanging the mar
ket was disposed of definitely.
The satisfactory progress of Mexican
affairs. the undiminished prospects for
record-breaking crops and expectations
Of an early decision in the freight case all
helped the market. Advices from the
steel trade were less pessimistic.
General business conditions. however.
were as backward as heretofore. 1t was
thought probable that speculation would
be under restraint until at least some of
the more pressing problems now con-
fronting the market were settled.
Foreign exchange rose to the highest
point for more than four years and 49,
10000 more gold was engaged for ship
rnent to Europe. The continued accumu-
lation of funds here and the slackness of
demand for commercial purposes deprived
the expectation of gold of influence on
the money market.

the Opening.

LOSSES ARE RECOVERED
Absorption of Special Issues Leads
to an Advance, But the Move
ment Is Narrow.

NEW YORK. May 1s.-A sharp setback
IN American stocks in London registered
its effect on prices here at the opening of
the market today.
Most of the international shares We're
lower. Steel Amalgamated, Union Pa
cinc and Reading. the speculative leaders
all lost large fractions.
Although the undertone was heavy, the
movement was not uniformly downward.
as a few shares, including st. Paul and
Canadian Pacific. showed improvement.
Trading was slow and no attempt was
made to extend the opening losses.
List Stiffens Slightly.
The list stiffened slightly after the first
few minutes.
The market closed easy today.
Early heaviness due to the decline of
prices in London was of short duration,
but after the losses had been recovered
the list eased off again, and the session
ended with a majority of small declines.

Bonds Are Irregular.

The cheerful tone of the weekly trade
reviews good weather conditions for the
crops and the favoring investment posi-
ton disclosed by the ready absorption of
bond and note issues supported bullish
opinion, and little was accomplished by
attempts to sell the market on the initial
declines.
Absorption of special issues. based on
good trade prospects and dividend ru-
mors. caused a few sharp advances, but
the general movement was narrow.

Jack Kocevar, Slavonic miner,
was found last Saturday morning just
outside the door ut Mrs. John Dallas
I boarding house, suffering from the
effects of cut and wound on his
forehead. He was taken to the Min
ers' Union hospital, and died there
about 4 o'clock that afternoon. He
has been a resident of San Juan
county about ten years, having BROTH
ers and other relatives here. He was
buried Wednesday from McLeods un-
dertaking parlors. The cause of
death is so far unknown, with all in
dieations pointing towards murder. 1t
seems that the evening before he was
one of a party who were out together
and taking in the town. They were
all drinking heavily, and had several
fights among themselves, but finally
all went to Dallas place and went to
bed. How Kocevar got out of bed
and received his injuries, no one has
been willing to explain. Coroner Nc
Leod, District Attorney Lane, Sheriff
Pearson and jury examined all the
witnesses they could locate and have
made every inquiry possible, but so
far have not been able to find out
who inflicted the injuries upon Koce-
var. Undoubtedly those around the
Dalla place know, or should know, but
they seem unwilling to assist the Of
ficers. Several of the men who were
with Kocevar are being held in jail,
as implicated in the crime, but have
not had their preliminary trial as yet.
There has been so much trouble in
that section, it is time the proprietors
We're given to understand they must
suppress crime there and assist the
officers when there is trouble, or the
town should take their license away
| from them and close the place up. 1t
seems strange that man can be kill
ed so near place where over twenty
people are living and no one know
| anything about it. The indications
were that he had been hit with an AK
or some blunt Observation-Disclosures

The paint brush has been used far
100 infrequently in Durango of re-
,ent years, and as a result many
buildings breathe lack of prosper
'ty that conditions here do not war
rant. Durango is as prosperous as
any town in the Rocky Mountains,
and it remains for property owners to
make it appear so. One of the best
way to begin the good work is to ap-
ply paint to about one-half of the
structures in the city limits. Get
busy at once and find how you can
improve the appearance of the town
and enhance the value of your prop
orty at a very small cost. Local
