UNEXPECTEDLY strong.

Outside of the St. Paul issues. which
we're weak, owing to a reflection of the
continued dispute with the Federal Rail-
road Administration over the rental con-
tract, active stocks during the short ses-
sion yesterday were unexpectedly strong
and active, the sales approaching the
100000 share mark. with 100000 shares
changing hands in its last hour. The
oils lead the list, sith motors a close
second. The steels, which have been
sluggish, were reused from their rela-
tive inactivity. There appeared to be
considerable Improvement In sentiment.
and while there was no particular news
development to induce short covering,
1t was recognized generally that selling
had been oIydone, that unfavorable de-
velopments had been discounted and that
stocks were in a.positon to reflect the
slightest betterment OF business condi-
tons II was apparent that new buying
on a moderate scale had entered tho
market and those who attempted &c
cover their contracts found small sup
plies OF stock.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


The general opinion In Wall Street
as TO the immediate future OF the stock
market as reflected In Stock Exchange
letters yesterday. was somewhat divided.
Some brokers take a definitely bullish
stand. while others are more conserva-
tive and counsel caution In making COM
mitments. J. $. Bache & Co.. for in
stance. say: THE signs are not yet
convincing enough to found opinions
upon. 1t is a situation where the bears
can still make a movement out of any
positively bad news Wrenn Bros. &
Co., on the other hand. declare that f:
THE market has a number of reasons
for temporary strength. In the typical
year the eo-called spring rise begins
around the first of March, but this time
1t might begin early, since the liquida-
ton of weak accounts seems to have
been completed early" The odd Lot
Rcviep takes the position that "the
right kind Of people" will not accumu-
late their stocks on any advance brought
about by a driving in of the shorts.

The admission made by the Du Pont
interests that they own 80 per cent. OF
the stock of the General Motor Cor
poration. printed yesterday in this coll
umn. was received very favorably by
the stock market and. as the result Of
heavy buying. the stock advanced near
ly 3 points TO 134a. during yesterdays
short session. The denial by the Du
Points. that they had obtained actual
majority control OF the corporation was
not taken very seriously by some who
claim to have information 10 the con-
trary. In one quarter close TO big Will
mington interests 1t was declared that the
Du Points recently have made heavy adj
ditional purchases OF General Motors
common and that the Wilmington crowd
is extremely bullish on the stock. pre-
dieting $1,000 share for It within 1--WE
years. After the new plants are built.
these interests declare, General Motors
is expected TO show more than 70 per
cent. on the common. against 45 per
cent. present earnings

Speculative Fervor.

The speculative favortes we're the
oil stocks, which lost none of the fervor
which has been agitating those issues
for a good while. Although any oil
stock looked good to the Spectator, the
largest single gains were in Pan Amer
lean Petroleum common and preferred.
the former rising 5,s to 76ss and the
latter making n net gain OF 11h to
1917 The company has outstanding
s7.66S.5o0 preferred and s35,453.750
common. 1t owns $9,035,0o0 Mexican
Petroleum preferred with a present mar
ket value of nearly s9.7OO,0O0 and
s17.500.00O of Mexican Petroleum COM
mon with a present market value Of
$31, 5000 900. An analyst of PIP places
the asset valuation at 500 a share. The
company's future is declared to rest
on these three considerations: Owner
ship of 5l.79 per cent. of Mexican Pc
troleums capital stock; tank steamer
feet with an oil carrying capacity Of
1000. 900 barrels: California oil land
holdings and South American oil dis
tributing facilities.

Union Pacific Contract.

Following the ncws that the Union
Pacific had signed a confirm giving
net operating income of s3s.552,92S.
the stock rose III points 10 1919. On
the basis of the lowest other income
in the past FIVE years and the highest
fixed charges since 1918, statisticians
figure that the contract gives Union
Pacific a balance of s3i.500,0 900 for the
common stock after payment of pre-
ferred dividends. At the present annual
rate of 10 per cent, dividends on COM
mon call for s22.229,i60, Consequently
the contract seems 10 insure Union
Pacific a surplus of more than $4,000
600. after allowing for all dividends at
present rates When the Railroad Ad-
ministration announced the contract
thirteen and a half months after the
assumption OF Federal control. it stated
that most OF the other contracts which
have been in allegiance will be signed at
an early date.

The Marine Deal.

In quarters exceedingly close TO the
Shipping Board at Washington It was
declared yesterday that the deal long
pending between British interests and
the International Mercantile Marine
Company is virtually closed. Tho re-
port does not speak OF n transfer OF
tonnage TO the British syndicate merely.
but says that British interests will
secure control of Marine" These
stories have been discredited TO a large
extent in Wall Street lately, traders
having learned by experience how much
credence may he placed in the myriad
Marine rumors. Buying of Marine
shares recently has led many to believe
that the deal really has been revived and
that some favorable announcement Is
forthcoming. Color Is given to that
theory by the statement from respon-
sible sources that much of the buying
has come from interests close to the
company-interests which would be apt
to have any advance information avail
able.

Fare Agreement Reachedf

An agreement between city authori-
ties and traction lines serving the peo-
pie of New York city. by which higher
rate OF fare is TO be granted these lines
in New York city has been reached.
This was stated yesterday by prom
inent Wall Street man who has fol-
lowed the traction situation closely and
who claims 10 have some real dope on
the subject. According TO the report.
the basis of the new fare is to be es-
tablished at cents but the matter Of
issuing transfers without additional
charge Is said TO be still hanging fire.
II the report prove true and the trac-
ton companies be granted an Increase
of 40 per cent. in fares, II will he a big
step toward restoring those organizations
to their pre-war earning power and very
likely will be reflected favorably in the
action of the traction issues traded IN.

County Farm Bureau Wins.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Jan, 6.-County farm bureau
and county agricultural agent work
received a tremendous impetus in
Oregon last year from war necessi-
ties for increased production and con-
seryation, according to the annual
report of Paul V. Maris, state leader
of county agent work. The work
has had the hearty cooperation of
the federal food administration,
state council of defense, oranges,
farmers unions, officers and teachers
of the public schools, and other or
ganizations working in the cause Of
national defense. The county agent
is the representative of the United
States department of agriculture.
the State Agricultural college and
lie people of the county. The agents
and farm bureaus directed the cam
paigns for increased food production
In the several counties, made surveys
of seed stocks and labor needs
and organized defensive measures
against rodents and other crop pests.

Price Fixing Days Draw to Close.

The Governmental restrictions
have already gone off millstuff and
-four and in all probability there will
be an easing off along the line very
early in the new year and it will be
every man for himself and the "divil
take the hindermost." There are few
people who would own up to being
pleased with governmental regula-
tion of prices. The man who bought
the regulated stuff always figured
that the price was put too high to
the producer and the producer felt
that II the Government hadn't butted
III he would have been able to have
got emore than he did.
/ There were laboring men who for
the first time in life got more wages
than their grocery bill and rent and
Father living expenses come to and
they wanted to buy all the sugar they
anCed for once in their life and the
Government wouldn't let them, and
so on down the line. When we con-
slider what threatened the world, and
the privations suffered by those with
in smell of the gun powder, the noise
that we heard around home here was
nothing more nor less than whine.

HEPPNER, OREGON
Students Will BE Advanced,

There seems to be some appre-
hension on the part of many pupils
and parents, that, owing to the in
tluenza having closed down the school
for so long pupils will lose out in
their grades, and fail Of proper
advancement We have been given
to understand that this will not be
the case and that a proper plan Of
grading the pupils for the advance
ment will be worked out and all
those entitled to go ahead will be
allowed to do so. Heppner is suffer-
ing no worse from the influenza
situation than most other towns and
cities of the state, and the school
authorities will do all they can to
help the pupils along.
We had announced the raising of
the ban on the Heppner school for
last Monday, but for good and
sufficient reasons the authorities
thought best to keep closed for a
time yet, and we cannot say Just
when the school will open for work
again. In the meantime, much home
work has been done and the pupils
are handing in their papers for
proper marking by their teachers.

Potter enlisted in the Navy last
March, going from here to Bremen
ton Navy Yard, where he remained
for only a short time, being trans
ferred to New York. Just prior to
the signing of the armistice, he
shipped for France and when in 800
miles of his destination orders were
given to return home. Young Potter
tried to get transferred into the
military service but could not, and
was honorably discharged from the
Navy, coming direct home. He was
not a little disappointed in the
failure of his boat to land at port
in France, and further disappointed
that the war was brought to close
before he had seen active service.

JOHN KILKENNY ADDS
TO LARGE HOLDINGS
Morrow County Sheepman Makes
Secure His Summer Range in
Mountains.

To make secure his summer range,
John Kilkenny closed deal the
past week for 1900 acres of land
in the vicinity of Susanville in
Grant county.
Mr.. Kilkenny is one of the biggest
land and sheep owners of Morrow
county, having within the boundary
Of this county nearly 10000 acres of
land, consisting of his holdings in
lower Sand Hollow and the old Hugh
Fields lands on Hinton and Butter
creeks. He runs large bands of
sheep and has felt the need Of
summer range very badly the past
season, when he was lifted" out of
a lot of range land in the mountains
that he felt he was entitled to use.
In order to overcome this difficulty
in the future, Mr.. Kilkenny has pur-
chased the $4,000 acres in the high
mountains and this will aid him
materially in caring for his summer
problems in the handling of some
10000 head of sheep.
This deal was handled through
the agency of the Farmers Exchange
of the Inland Empire of Heppner
Messers. F. A. McMenamin and F. r.
Brown, managers. The Exchange
has been doing business at Heppner
but a short time but they have
already put through number of i'm
