STOCKS DOMINATED BY UNCERTAIN TONE DURING ENTIRE DAY
Much of Hesitation As- cribed to Rail Strike and Possible Effect on
 Business
By Associated Pres,

New York, April 9.-An uncertain tone domainated the stock market today. the irregular trend of prices and lighter deal irgs rehecting greater caution on the part of professional traders.
 Much of the days hesitation was ascribed to the railroad strike and it's possible effect on business. Expansion of labor difficulties in that quarter was ac- companied by partial suspension of opera tions at western industrial centers.
 The market manifested strong tone in the later dealings, under lead of steels, equipments and motors, but reacted sharply just before the close, when call loans advanced to 10 per cent, after hav- ing been in free supply at per .cent
 Further unsettlement in foreign ex- change was another adverse factor. Brit fsh bills again lost ground temporarily and French and Italian rates fell to new low discounts, as expressed in terms of the American dollar.
 Further heavy gold exports to South America were announced but these were neutralized by advices from London indi- eating an expansion of the gold move ment from that center to this market.
 There were perceptible signs of realiza- tion in the time money market, but such accommodations, it appeared, were limit ed to the shorter maturities and mostly for moderate amounts. Offerings of funds for commercial purposes were reported to be more liberal
 The stock market owed virtually all of its occasional activity to pools in selected issues, but these yielded with representa- tive issues in the general reversal at the close. Sales amounted to 100000 shares
 Heavy selling of Liberty issues, some of which approximated low records. fea- tured the enlarged operations of the bond market, prices in the main tending lower. Total sales (par value) aggre- gated H6,375,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Hupp Motors Continues Rise = Suspicious of Stromburg and Vanadium Rise-Sugar Shares in Demand Union Pacific Issue NextLTexas Companies
 Complete New Oil We'll

With every prospect that there would be serious shortage of sugar this summer and that prices are likely to soar to unprecedented heights, the sugar stocks were taken in hand to- day. They moved forward under ac- tive buying and some of the gains were sensational in character Cuban American sugar advanced from low of 4s5c to 5.25, where it closed with gain of 216 points over Thursday last sale. American sugar refining, which is more within the reach of the ordinary buyer of stocks did not participate in the recession of the last hour and closed near the top price of the day at 1.S6 Punta Allegro sugar touched a new high of a7& and ended the day up points at 96. South Porto Rico sugar advanced points to 2S0.
 Investment bankers feel that the preference of investors for the mo- ment is for equipment trust certifi- cates and with the New York Central issue underway more are expected. The Union Pacific, it is believed. will be the next in the field and the Atchi- son, which is also in the field. is likely to be more remote
 The Texas Companies subsidiary in Mexico has completed a well flowing 5000 barrels a day in tEe Chinampa district, the first completion since re- sumption of drilling was permitted by the Carranza government few months ago. The company has other drilling operations now under way in Mexico. four of them in the Panuco district and one in Chinampa. Mex ican shipments are said to be running at about 26,000 barrels day, most of 1t being taken to the refinery at Port Arthur.

There died .a Council Bluffs, Iowa.
last Saturday a woman who had
history--one that was considerably
tinctured with romance, and hard
ship and peril at times-for she was
for several years employed as a cook
for the James boys and at the time
of the sudden taking off of Jesse
James in this city was with the bandit
and Mrs. James and Jesse Jr.. an
occupant Of the now famous James
house on High School hill.
This woman was Mrs. Narcissa d.
Wallace and she was nearly one hun
dred years old when she died Satur-
day at tho Council Bluffs home of
her daughter, Mrs. w. II. Reynolds,
92o Seventeenth avenue. Mrs. Wal
lace was a resident OF Council Bluffs
in the old days when 1t was Kanes-

her husband was making the first

The Rush for the Intcrurban

III you could have been there when
the final vote was announced you
would have been as happy as was.
In a total of over 1900 votes, Morris
got a little over 800. Then TO see
Morris. Stauber and their followers
leave the convention and rush for the
first interurban car was a picnic. The
treatment by this boss crowd Of Mrs.
Robertson who made it possible by
her organization Of several hundred
republican women in the late fight
for Morris and Stauber to help put
over their gang is a story in itself to
be told at another time.
"Tn closing, want to ask those good
republicans, Messrs. Bodenhausen,
Bartlett, Hamilton, Robertson, Kalis,
Cnstott, Wall, Weigel, Moore, and the
many hundreds Of good republican
women how they like the idea of
Morris & Company all the time saying
Morris didn't want to be a delegate,
but as soon as he saw an opening in
the convention begged to place his
name before the delegates and in 80
minutes his malicious misrepresenta-
tive campaign through the Gazette
ended in his utter defeat and DR.. ].
Il, A. Grassland being selected as a
delegate to the National Republican
convention which will nominate the

No wonder Morris is sore.
