NEW YORK. January Z (SpeciaD.-
The speculative part of the market
became increasingly important today
again. although not by any means at
the expense of the investment Sec
tion. Heavy trading continued all
through the bond list under the lead
of the liberties. which, with the ex-
ception of the tax-exempt first loan
issue. sold at new high prices for the
current movement.
The investment buying still had in
view the prospects Of easier money

purchasing power of the dollar, will
raise the market value OF all Secur-
tiles OF fxed yield.
For the first time yesterday. and
still more today. the prospect of
easier money seemed also to have
gotten to the speculative market. en-
couraging a revival of operations.
These operations favored the low
priced industrials. but some of the
junior rails were also carried along.
Among the industrials the motors and
motor accessories shares and the
small oils were the leaders.

result of the revival of gossip about
the Pennsylvania taking over the
road. Other low-priced issues were
bid up, stocks like Columbia Graphic

Nickel and Freeport Texas.
But the higher priced and better
class of industrials were not at all
neglected. The bear campaign against
the Mexican oils collapsed and these
rose quite violently.
American Wool made a better re-
Spouse than it had yesterday to the
SURPRISINGLY good statement of its
condition after writing off inventory
losses up to the end of October.
American Car and Foundry and the
Baldwin Locomotive were actively
bought at rising prices.
Paper stocks hitherto not so promi-
nent were bid up several points. The
sugars were decidedly better, ignor-
ing the announcement of another re-
duction in refined sugar. This action
was counterb alanced by the signs OF
increasing activity in the raw sugar
market. indicating that bottom had

APPEAL RULING ON OIL
 LEASE TO COMMISSIONER

the rule that applies to the states.
 While it is not known just how far Attorney Leehey is prepared to go with the case
 | IS generally believed the case will be carried as far a IS necessary to test the valid .tyof the present regulation: It is held by the applicant, through his attorney thar there is little foundation fo: the interpretation given b. the department.
 "The real purpose behin our appeal from Registrar
 3oyle's decision," said Lee hey, lis to secure an offici; ,.eclaration from the depart ment of the interior as to i.sst what IS meant by geolo. gical structure. The law says that one man or company may not have more than one claim on the same geological structure. This may mean that only me claim may be held in the entire Katalla field, or it may refer to the local geological groupings.
 We vii contend that while two claims filed by MT. Mur- phy are adjoining, they are not on the same geological structure. We claim that the claims are on opposite sides of an anticline. The govern ment has no right to pre- sume that the claims are on the same geological struc- ture until after the nature of the area has been deter minde.

RAILROAD TRAVEL IS
BEGINNING INCREASE

The psychological application of men,
tai suggestion is being agreeably
noted by the local passenger agents.
particularly those of the Santa Fc
road
Passenger travel is picking up MOTTO
ably and quite unusually ahead of the
holiday and other reduced rates.
And railway men admit that this
without doubt is because of the adyer-
tisements of holiday rates to come the
latter part of next week, and the war
tax reduction of per cent after the
first of the year.
The announcements have really
called attention Of the public to the
fact that there are railroads on which
they can travel if they so desire, and
taking advantage of the information.
the people are beginning to travel
without waiting for the reduced rates.
All of which proves that advertising
always pays.
