Fort Totten, with several mission sta
lions located at %covenient distances,
in addition to the Protestant Epis-
copal and Roman Catholic Indian mis-
sions, will find a hearty welcome from
the Christian people who, for several
years have felt the need of a church
and Sunday school for the proper
training of their families.
The Catholic school near the fort is
giving the children of that faith in
struction in the doctrines of the church
and at the same time valuable instruc-
ton in many useful arts that are in
tended to make the children efficient
homekeepers and mechanics.

Texas Pacific Continues to
Recover From Slump, but
Carib Syndicate Eases
Off; Industrials Quiet

Stocks continued to drift aimlessly
on the curb market yesterday as traders
awaited news developments which
might give a definite tone to business.
Movements were irregular and narrow,
and few of the issues showed any great
activity.
The continued recovery of Texas Pa
cific Coal and Oil again attracted at
tention and the price advanced to 48as,
net gain of nearly points over the
previous close. 1t held firm and closed
at the high for the day. Misleading
the figures for the final sale on Mon
day caused the impression that the
stock had suffered q sharp decline. AS
a matter of fact, it closed with net
advance at 461s, instead of at 36h, and
continued its upward movement yes
terday. Inside support is believed to
have been responsible for checking the
pressure which caused the stock to
slump last week
Carib Syndicate again developed
weakness after covering by shorts had
carried the stock up to 18, point
above the previous close, and on recess
sions it got back to 161s, at which fig
ure the last sale was made. Other pc
troeum issues were generally steady
with quotations ranging near those for
thu previous close.
Industrials were again quiet. Gen
eral Asphalt moved in narrow limits
and closed firm. Submarine Boat was
fractionally weaker. Central Teresa
was firm on the report of an initial
dividend of A per cent on the common
stock.
Silver mining issues were offered at
recessions as result of the decline in
the silver market quotations.
