New Cigar Stores stock.

The shorts in United Cigar Stores had

4 day after a large short interest had
been encouraged by published reports
Of a trade war between United and an
other chain of stores. Another develop
ment which added to the merry whirl
OF the shorts was the announcement that
the directors would meet to-day to con-
slider a proposition for an increase In
capital stock. No details were given.
but 1t Is understood that new stock Is
to be issued in payment for the Loft
candy stores. recently acquired by
United. In that connection It is declared
IN quarters close to the United manage
ment that valuable rights will accrue to
the holders OF the stock and there Is
little doubt that large part OF yester-
days buying was based on knowledge OF
this fact.

Shipping Shares Popular.

Continued optimism as to tho future
OF the shipping industry. particularly in
view of the rate readjustment announced
so suddenly on Monday, is believed to be
the chief factor in the continued advance
Of such stocks as Marine, preferred and
common, Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies.
American International Corporation and
kindred issues. The buying of those
shares yesterday, particularly OF Ma
rine preferred, was declared TO be of a
much better character than is ordinarily
the case when that stock begins to move.
Color was given TO that theory by the
way the advance was held. II is the
usual thing for Marine to fly ahead very
unceremoniously and then to slump
backward with Just as little courtesy.
The decline from the top yesterday was
very small in proportion TO the advance
previously recorded.

While there was nothing spectacular
yesterday In the market for French ex-
change. the rate on Paris showed a
declining tendency, actual business being
done at 5,73 francs 10 the dollar. II
was learned that the Bank OF France
had recognized the situation in franc
exchange by marking its rate down
from 5.45 francs to the dollar to $50,
but foreign exchange experts expressed
the opinion that the peg In French ex-
change had been entirely removed and
that the market would have to care for
itself 1t was said that France merely
had taken the lead in removing artificial
restrictions on exchange rates and that
quotations would seek the real iev~.
Justified by conditions 1t was said that
a decline to 5.s5 francs to the dollar
Is within the realm of possibility, but II
was admitted that there were too many
unknown factors to permit definite pre-
dlction. The decline in French exchange
had a sympa thetic effect on Swiss francs
which declined to 4sl to the dollar,

served TO attract unusual attention OF

Industrial Alcohol.

There is another stock also In which
the shorts are given periodical battles
for existence. That Is United States
Industrial Alcohol, one OF the so-called
vest pocket stocks, which can be moved
about at will. That stock has usurped
the position held so long by America,
Sumatra Tobacco Another evidence OF
the agility with which 1t responds to

interests were unloading. When that
bear element was just about where We

that another bear panic in I'D" was TO
be started. OF course the bears heard
this Just as quickly as did the other side,
but when they made an effort to get
back the stock they had d'~"osed Of on
supposedly authentic information that
some big people" had been unloading,
they found the stock boosted up on them
six or seven points. 1t was but another
splendid example OF what can be done
with Industrial Alcohol when the time
II favorable.

The pyrotechn!cal display OF strength
given yesterday by American Linseed
Oil shares was the result of heavy buy
ing from quarters which usually are
characterized as good" That buying
IL said to be based on knowledge OF
large earnings which will make for n
dividend OF 5 or per cent annually on
the common stock. That dividend, II
was said, probably would be inaugurated
this year President Adams OF the Lin
seed Company has Just returned from a
trip across the Atlantic and is said to
be very optimistic as to the business
which the company will draw from that
source. 1t was declared in one quarter
that he brought back substantial lot
OF orders with him. Another source OF
the strength is said 10 be the high prices
row quoted for flaNseed. The price for
that commodity is said to have jumped
more than ten cents a bushel in the last
twenty-four hours and 1t Is declared that
American Lnseed owns virtually all the
flaxseed in the country.

About That Holiday.

No decision has been reached on the
question OF a holiday of the New York
Stock Exchange on March rs, the day
New York will tender her big official
welcome to the Twenty seventh Division.
II has been discussed In the financial
district, but 1t was declared last night
that the matter had not como before the
board of governors officially. While
there are many in favor of closing the
exchange on that day, II was pointed
out by a member OF the board of gov
errors that to do so would inconven-
fence to a large extent those outside OF
the city who transact business here. No
where in the West, middle West or in
fact anywhere outside OF New York city
will the day be observed as a holiday
and by. closing the exchange business
throughout the country will be disconr-
NODDED. No action has been taken by the
governors and at their meeting this
week It is probable that some definite
decision will be made.

Richard Spillane, Of Commerce
and Finance, says "there probably
is nothing more interesting than
twins unless it be tripiets and
quadruplets'' but he stops there, as
it would be scandalous to go fur
ther.
Continuing, Mr.. Spillane says
some one has figured that the
chance of being borne twin is one
in about l4O. The chance of new
born twin to live to the age of 80
is one in 55. In the case of twins a
gambler would lay $500 to at
their birth that both would not sur
vive eighty.nine years. Multiplying
2SO by $500 it would seem that the
chance of finding pair of twins
alive at the age of 80 is one in 700,
600.
Hazlehurst, L. l., has such a
pair, both being ladies one spins
ter and one widow. Has any town
in this section twins to beat this
pair?
