Washington. Jan. 3l.-The government
has received $3.50 in settlement for a
single sugar pine tree which was cut

new YORK MARKET
LIGHTER IN TRADING
Railroad Issues Make Only
Fractional Gains - Motor
Stocks Show Firmest Tones.

NEW YORK. April 26.-While the
volume of trading on the stock mar
ket today was considerably lighter
than has recently been the case, the
tendency of price levels was to ad-
vance. In the railroad issues the gains
were generally fractional, but In the
industrial list there were numerous
instances where the changes ranged
from one two and three to FIVE points.
The motor stocks showed probably
the hrmest tone. Maxwell Motors ad-
vancinE points to SO. and Stude-
baker and General Motors selling up
more than a point. Following the lead
Of the motors. Goodrich stock jumped
2S points to so.
AS has been the case for several
days the copper group commanded
much attention. Chino, selling at 49
and Miami gained a point each, by
selling at 70 and 29 respectively.
American Beet Sugar and United
States Rubber were two other industr1
ais that were active and strong. The
former registered gain OF approx.
mately two points. at 1875. and the lat
ter n gain OF III points, at 70As.
Despite the very encouraging explana'
ton made by President Doheny. con-
corning the British contracts for prac-
tically the entire crude output OF the
wells. Mexican Petroleum. which has
been exceptionally strong for several
DAYS, sold off fractionally at noon.
Great Northern preferred was one OF
the strongest OF the railroad stocks. ad.
vanCing full point to 12 Baltimore
and Ohio was up u Of a point at 1874
Bots Missouri Pacific and Missouri
Kansas and Texas lost more than q
point.

BRYAN TO SPEAK FOR
TEMPERANCE CAUSE

On behalf Of the National Abstainers
Union, Secretary Bryan will 20 to New
York Friday. and will speak Friday
night at Carnegie Hall. and to an over
flow meeting in Calvary Baptist Church.
The Secretary today confirmed a re-
port that he would make this trip. and
that the New York meetings would be
on the same general line as the recent
Philadelphia meeting. where he led
10000 to take the pledge
Abstinence" will be the theme Of the
Secretary of State. He is looking for
ward to two great meetings. and hopes
to see many thousands take the pledge.
One report is that he hopes to line $4,000
up for total abstinence, and when asked
about 1t today he did not deny 1t.
The Secretary may visit other cities on
like missions, but at present he las no
plans other than for New York.
Whether Secretary Bryan will lecture
this summer, he says, depends on wheth-
er he is able to get a vacation His du-
ties as head of the State Department
have been so onerous and promise to
be so for some time that he doubts
wheher he can get much vacation.

ment's antitrust dissolution suit against

concerns collect one-sixth in all adver-
tising contracts of the combination and
cover $500 towns. and no outsider can

them.

ing factors OF the association are the
