NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in Al
the LEADING Stocks

New York. March 2S.-Traders were
again in indisputed control Of the
market today, public participation Of
interest being almost negligible. Prices
were indicative, however, Of increas-
ing confidence in the outcome OF i'm
pending developments.
Dealings were relatively light. but
broad as to the number of issues which
changed hands, these including an un-
usual variety Of specialties. The op-
erations of pools and speculative in
terests were again observable In
stocks which have yet to establish po-
tential values.
New high records were scored by
Ohio Gas and Wilson Packing which
made an extreme advance Of 6-1-2. Mu-
nitions, equipments and the customary
war contract issues were firm to
strong, the leader Of those groups be-
ing briggs, Seabury at an advance of
16 points to 81 IL.
United States Steel and Bethlehem
Steel were temporarily higher by to
points with related shares YArticular-
ly Lackawanna and Sloss-Shemeld
Steels. Great Northern Ore and Repub-
lie Iron, Matora sugars, oils and leath-
ers recorded irregular gains of to 8
points with further activity and adj
vance in Mailing Common and Pre-
ferred.
Rails were under partial restraint
during the forenoon. but came into
prominence later, rising 2 to 4 points
on intimations of early and favorable
action by the Interstate Commerce on
the application for increased rates.
Rock Island bounded forward just be-
fore the close. gaining over points at
Al rs. Total sales amounted to $780,
900 shares. Rumors of national and In
terfiatfonal financing included an
short term note issue by
the home government and new Brit
ish loan unsecured as to collateral. Ex-
markets were featureless, the
slisht heaviness of Tires and strength
of marks being the only Incidents.
Bonds were irregular on limited deal
ings.- the inquiry for international is
sues. being especially light. Total sales
par value aggregated $2,S70.0O0. Unit
ed States bonds moved contrarily.

With Henderson Brown Debaters
in March or April.

Students of the State Normal
School are negotiating for three de-
bates with out-of- town institutions for

decided upon, while a third is con
sidered probable. The latter part of

gogues will meet team from Hen
derson- Brown College of Arkadelphia
at Conway. The subject to be dis
cussed will be Resolved, shat Wom-
ans Enfranchisement Should be Ac-
complished by Federal Rather than
by State Enactment" The team to
represent the Normal will be selected
from Is young men and two young
women aspirants. Carl Love and
Charles Pipkin will present the mega
tive side of the question for Hender-
son-Brown.
The Oklahoma State Normal School
will be met in joint debate at Ada,

VIAL STATISTICS
SHOW GOOD GAIN
BIRTHS EXCEED DEATHS
By Ratio of More than Two to One
During 1916 in Conway City
and CadrOn Township.

A healthy natural growth in popu-
lation of the city of Conway and Cad
ron township during the year 1916 is
shown by a summary of the vital
statistics for the year, which DR.. j.
S. Westerfeld, local registrar, very
kindly prepared for the Log Cabin
Democrat. Births exceeded deaths by
a ratio of slightly more than two to
one, the number being respectively
2lO and l0l. August was the month
in which the greatest excess of births
over deaths occurred, there being %
born against four died. The largest
number of births, &c, occurred in Jan
uary, and the largest number of
deaths, l6, occurred in May.
In the district during the year 122
white children were born and SO
white persons died, net gain in white
population of practically 81 per cent.
Eighty-eight colored children were
