of London and the highlands of Scot
land.
There. are many thrilling incidents
in the story and the action moves
rapidly through a series of startling
events and includes such incidents as
the finding of murdered man, the
discovery of counterfeiters den
and a buried treasure in the hills OF
Scotland, placed there by James III
king of Scotland. His opening scenes
are exceptionally picturesque. They
take place in Chinese restaurant in
London in which the Oriental at.
mosphere is well maintained. A Mon.

interest the spectators as we'll.
Great credit is due Director Ches.

taken in London, SO well is the fog
produced.
'~" The cast is composed of many wei
known players, each selected because
Of his or her particular fitness for the
role. Lillian Hall plays opposite Mo-
reno and does an exceptionally fine
bit Of acting. Especially good are hel
scenes in the lonely farm house where
she is held a prisoner.

IRREGULAR PRICE
CHANGES ON CURB
Traders confine Operations to
Issues Displaying Strength.
Oils Well Held

New York, Jan. 21.-The market tone
and price movements on the Broad
Street Curb today were irregular. Most
Importance. was attached to the trading
in, issues which displayed strength, The
most prominent Of these was : Inter-
Continental Rubber, which rose from
9ss to 11as, the trading, apparently,
being based on knowledge Of develop
ment Of the property since the new gov
ernment assumed power In Mexico.
United States Steamship was also
active and strong, with indications Of
accumulation by interests affiliated with
the management. On the other hand,
United Retail Candy was under pres.
sure. being offered in large volume and
declining from S& to 3. Sweets was
steady, selling at 2%@21A.
Those concerned In Durant Motors
paid little attention to, the stock, only
one sale being made in the first half
of the day at 1875.
The oil stocks were generally well
held. with some of these issues making
moderate gains in face of the further
reduction In the price of crude oil.
Fensland advanced to 14B and Simms
Petroleum ranged from IA to tx.
There was continued buying of Mara

AIMLESS DRIFT

changes were unimportant and even
in the specialties which had shown some
inclination to follow the pool demon
strations in the big market the trading
tiattened and assumed much tn" same
perfunctory type as in the other local
stocks.
Although the volume of business was
small the trading was we'll distributed
and, as whole. the market continued
to display good absorption, which was
made the more noticeable because of the
urter absence Of any speculative activi-
ties. The brighter side Of the day :
proceedings was again found in the bond
division especially in thief urthar i'm =
