INVESTMENT STOCKS
 LEAD MARKET UP
Bull Drive Continues With Most Shares Showing Strength

New York, Sept. 8, Wall Street, 10:30 a. m.-Investment stocks led the market to higher levels at to- days opening, accompanied by the Union Pacific and Norfolk and Vest ern, while New York Central and Erie were in fair demand. American Smelting and Inspiration were the conspicuous features among the cop pers, the former gaining almost two points. Shipping shares also im- proved and International Paper pre- ferred rose over four points, with two for Union Bag and Paper preferred. United States Steel came forward later, with motors and allied issues.
 Close-Adverse crop conditions had some effect upon prices in the final hour, although Reading rose to 112 IS during that period. The clos ing was irregular.

Grand total .......$1, ,637, ,5S3,6 ,6S2

In addition to the total there were authorizations for expenditures in future years including naval, good roads, tariff commission and other ex- penditures to bring the total to ap- proximately two billion dollars but these amounts do not properly apply to the appropriations for the fiscal year.
 Tn addition congress enacted an unusually large amount of miscellane- Ous legislation, including Te-organlza- tion of the patent office; provision for trial of space system in place of weight system for payment for rail- road mail service and leaving to the Interstate Commerce Commission de- termination of the method and rate of pay; creation of a national park bureau in the department of the in terior; establishing warehouse regula- tions for cotton and grains and pro- v-ding a new grain grading law; eX- tension for a year of the government war risk insurance bureau; uniform law making bills of lading negotiable.
 Proposed legislation which failed of enactment and has gone over until next winter includes the immigration bill; the corrupt practices act to limit campaign expenditures for elec- 1ion of the president, vice president al mem bers of congress; a vocation al education bill passed by the senate; conservation legislation including the public lands water power bill, the Shields navigable streams water power bill which failed i'll conference, the oil leasing bill including relief for California oil men; flood control bill which passed the house; and a bill to establish citizenship for natives of Porto Rico
 Four treaties were ratified by the senate The most important was the long pending Nicaraguan convention providing for the acquisition of a canal route and naval station rights in the Bay of Fonseca for $3,000, 900. in the Bay of Fonseca for $3,000,O0O, and that ratified in the closing hours provided for the purchase of the Danish West Indies for $25, 100000. Another was the treaty with the Re- public of Hayti providing for an American financial protectorate. The ch-disputed pending treaty with Colombia after several years of con- s1deration was favorably reported from the foreign relations committee with an amendment reducing from $G5, 100000 to $15,000,000 the pro- posed amount to be paid for the par tition of Panama. The treaty how ever was never taken up in the senate tecause of unrelenting opposition to it on the part of many senators and it remains on the calendar. The com rlittee at the time of adjournment still had under consideration the pro- posed treaty with Denmark for pur- chase of the Danish West Indies for s25,O00,0OO. A treaty with Great Britain providing for protection of migratory birds on both sides of the Canadian border was ratified. Death claimed four members of tho con- gross during the session, Senators Shively, of Indiana, and Burleigh of Maine, and Representatives Brown and Moss, both of West Virginia. Repre- sentative Witherspoon Of Mississippi, died just before the session began.

nothing TO DO WIFI the CuDS lOE Tie
last two seasons. Not a blessed thing,
but you'll notice that the final papers
in the sale of the club to Charley
Weeghman are to be signed here
Jan. 20, despite the fact that Weegh-
man was in Cincinnati yesterday and
that Cincinnati is the home town of
c.. p Taft, designated the works In
the Cub team. =, ...-..
As matter of fact, Murphy is the
man who had to be seen. There was
no bunk to that shoestring c. Webb
ran into million dollars. 1t was the
real thing, and he held the control of
the team in any deal that was made.
He had to be paid in hard cash before
he would relinquish his claims.
All details, however, have been set
tied, apparently, and there seems no
chance of a hitch to the transfer of
the team to Weeghman and his Fed
eral colleagues. The West Side park,
leased to the Cubs by Murphy and
Mrs. Taft, will be held for two years,
rent being paid for that time, though,
all games will be played on the North
Side in the park occupied last season
by the Whales.
In two years, it is figured, Murphy
and Mrs. Taft can dispose of the
West Side park.
Weeghman again declared that
Joe Tinker will manage the new
Cubs, but Roger Bresnahan and his
two-year contract will be taken care
of. Rogers agreement with the team
is so drawn that the club must pay
him his salary whether he manages
the club or not.
Weeghman and his people now will
control 80 per cent of the stock,
which cost them 100000. Harry
Ackerland still holds ten per cent of
the stock and says he likes it as an
investment
Remember when this peace agree
ment was first preached? Harry Sin

ana MS DankrOn were SheIVed,
though Harry might, if he behaved
himself, be allowed to buy the Tulsa
club of the Western assn.
But. have you noticed that when
the Browns were sold to Phil Ball
and his Federal colleagues that Sin
clair was present at the conference?
And did you notice that when Char
ley Weeghman went into conference
with Taft about the Cubs yesterday
that he carried Harry Sinclair with
him?
Sinclair seems to be entirely elm
mated from baseball, except that he
has had hand in every deal pulled
so far since peace arrived. These
negotiations strengthen. the belief he
will eventually buy the Giants of the
National league.
Some time the magnates will dis
cover that more truth is needed in
the politics of baseball before the
sport can regain the popular place in
the nation it occupied a few years
ago. What was to be gained by de-
claring Sinclair was punctured pro-
moter is hard to understand.
