ABOUT LAND TITLES
Cl5y H. E. Mckenzie. '

In view of the actual discovery of oil in Nevada County and the conse- quent action of many people to get their titles in proper shape to trans
 fer or negotiate oil leases and royal ties ii would Seem timely to say a few things about land titles and ab- stracts which land owners ought 10
 know and practice regardless of oil prospects and real estate ho0mS.
 Nobody expects of course that an
 ideal time will come when everybody
 will Dc competent to know that his own title papers are correctly drawn.
 i'll the first place, and then promptly
 placed of record, but hy being con Stantly reminded and shown the i'm. portancc of these things, the people will gradually get the habit oi attend
 ing to these things at the one right time, namely just as soon as they are executed There are hundreds of otherwise good business men who still think the recording of land deed is
 unimportalt. If their deeds become lost or destroyed by fire, they can then readily see the importance of it. not to mention other important reasons for recording. There are scores of other people who actually refuse to allow their deeds to be recorded and paid for by others for fear they may
 be lost or not returned, notwithstand- ing they may have sold all interest in the land years ago. There seems

 An experience and observation of
 more than twenty years in ahstracting and examining title papers suggests that two of the most serious troubles
 about land titles in this country are
 bad descriptions in deeds and failure to record. There are others of course. but these cause the most common
 troubles
 There is feeling among ihe pe0- pie especially among old settlers that

 of their holdings. they can 1ell their successors and the HeghhoFS and every body at all interested win know where the line k and consequently. teven

 and correct description is a waste of
 money and time. They are unmindful
 of the fact that there will come time when the owner or prospective owner

 knowledge of local traditions and en. vironment.
 Every piece of land ought 10 be cor
 rectIy described in the deed, If it is irregular it should be surveyed and

NEW YORK, September 16.-An
advance of SO per ton in steel rails on
October l and prospects for an active
demand until the new price becomes
effective as well as gains in wire
rods and billets gave the steel mar
ket very strong appearance. Rail-
roads We're good buyers of car ma
terials, but in some other directions
there was hesitation. as production Is
on the increase. due TO the i'm
proved fuel and rail situations. Pig
iron was quite active and prices were
easier owing to the reduced cost of
fuel and increased competition from
abroad.
In copper there has been no gen.
eral buying, but the moderate export
and domestic business passing has
been sufficient to sustain the market
at the fourteen-cent level Smelter
production in South America is saki
to be increasing, but domestic output
is showing little gain. Most Of the
home buying is reported in small
lots for shipment during the next
sixty days
Tin shows little change. but more
interest is being taken by dealers
and the lower sterling exchange
have had an unSettling effect.
Lead has continued very firm and
IS higher Leading producers are
booked well ahead and are not seek
ing new business. The movement on
Old contracts is liberal.
Zine strong with good inquiry for

Struggle for Advantage Be-

NEW YORK, September l6.-The
irregular course of prices in this
weeks stock market reflected the
struggle for advantage between pro-
fessional bull and bear factions. con-
servative interests generally hesitat-
ing to engage in further commit
ments because Of the rail and coal
strike situations. Some investment
buying was noted, particularly of
ihigh-grade railroad shares. but the
biggest gains were recorded by stock

the future with a bit of uncertainty
and most OF them have requested
their customers to be cautious in

conditions throughout the country

business revival is generally ex-
pected this fall. but opinions of re-
sponsible authorities differ material

Coal Production Above Normal.

bituminous coal production is now

being made in the mining movement

inouncement of an increase OF SO d

action on the part Of independents.
In some quarters the rise was said to

buyers to pay delivery premiums
Commodity markets were unsettled

bumper Canadian crop. which is like

Foreign Exchanges ReactiOnary.
Foreign exchanges were reactionary,
the chief depressing influence being
the Saturday offering OF grain and
cotton bills. Germany's refusal to
give Belgium the reparations secur-
,ity demanded and successful Turkish
military operation in the near east
also were contributing factors. De-
mand sterling bills were quoted ap-
proximately cents below last weeks
figures. while French checks showed
a decline of nearly 20 points. with
corresponding reductions in other
continental rates. The Greek drachma
was down to 2.35 cents. as against
par of 1913. in response to the col
lapse of that country's military ef-
forts against Turkey.
