PUBLIC UTILITY STOCKS
LEAD CURB PRICE RALLY

NEW YORK, May 2.-Public
utility stocks led the curb market
in another forward price movement
today. There was considerable buy
ing of the South American oils,
with narrow price changes. In
dustrial stocks were steady and
motor shares inactive.
National Power and Light added
5 points to it's recent gains and
sold up to 2S3; Southeastern Power
established a new high for 1928
when it advanced 1 u points to 7Oh;
American Light and Traction was
up IL at 154; American Gas and
Electric was up about points at
83N; Electric Bond and Share sold
into new high ground for the year
at 63: Lehigh Power was up 2 at
109%; Western Power up IN at
35A; United Gas and Electric up
at "a.
There was a better tone to the oil
stocks, due to the firming up Of
the gasoline market and reports Of
premiums being offered for mid
continent crude. Magnolia Pc
troleum was up 2k points at 1876;
Prairie Pipe Line up 8 at 1922;
Standard Oil shares fractionally
higher. Lago and South American
oils were active and fairly steady,
The advance continued in the
American Ice per cent bonds and
in the 616s of the Standard Gas
and Electric Company. Foreign
bonds were steady.

Nv w. s. COUSINS.

NEW. YORK, May 2.-Stock
prices moved forward brisk.y in
every department of the market in
the short session today. The best
gains were made by the leading in
dustrial and motor stocks, in the
form of which American Can played
q conspicuous part. Opening fTac-
tionally higher, this stock pushed
up nearly points in active buying
III the first period and sold up
to $50.
A moderate squirt in oil stocks
resulted from professional buying,
based on the firm situation in the
gasoline market. Buyers Of mid
continent crude oil were reported
offering premiums for light crude
and gasoline distributors in the
field for large supplies of that
product. Rumors of an advance, in
prices of retail gasoline were also
heard. Standard Oil of New Jersey
and Pan American were the leaders
in this movement, which later en-
braced most OF the active inde-
pendent oil stocks. The movement
did not reach large proportions and
gains were mostly fractional.
The foreign exchanges were
steady and the grain markets re-
acted fractionally from the high
price levels attained in Fridays

New forward movements were in
augurated in Baldwin Locomotive,

GOVT DOCK
 FOR MARMOT


 Plans for the construction of a government dock at the mouth of the Marmot River have been completed by the British Columbia Public Works department, according to b statement made by A. Halkett, in charge of the work of that department in Northern Brit ish Columbia.
 MT. Halkett, who paid Hyder brief visit during the past week, stated that the col> struction of the dock is fully warranted by present devel- opment of the Marmot ana will be of great assistance to the miners of that section in ''acilitating ore shipments ana transportation of supplies. Un- der the proposed plan of con- struction, steamers will be able to discharge supplies and 5ake on ore shipments direct, :hus effectng a saving of both time and money in the hand ing of all freight traffic to md from that section.
 The dock will be of the floating type and will be To-, .ated about 1000 yards farth- CT out in the stream than the log float used as a landing place at present. It will com prise a large float and ware aouse of sufficient size ro meet all present storage needs If the district. MT.

COMPLETES SURVEY OF
 THUMB CREEK AREA

MT. A. F. Buddigton, U. s. Geological Survey expert, who is gathering data for a second and more exhaustive report on the geology and minerol- ogy of the Salmon River dis trict, has just completed a survey of the Thumb Creek section, which extended from the mouth to the head of Thumb Creek Valley and along the west side of Salmon River. He, will next proceed to the Texas Creek district to continue the investigations conducted there by himself in the fall of 1928. Owing to de- partmental restrictions MT. Buddington did not divulge the results of his findings on Thumb Creek, beyond stating that the geology of that sect ion is practically the same as that of the Texas Creek coun- try.
 MT. Buddington will spend the coming three weeks in the Texas section. During the first week of that period he will make his headquarters at the Cable Crossing, afterward proceeding farther up the creek. It is MT. Buddington's desire to make his repoGt of the Texas country as com plete as possible and he will welcome such assistance as can be given by the claim owners of that section. Those who arc interested i1a having him look over their properties may find it to their advantage to interview him during his stay at the Cable Crossing.

 Wellington Beaton, senior member of the firm, started preliminary work on the prop erty last week, sending out a crew of men to open up the old trail from the mouth of he Georgia River to the com pany properties. The trail will also be widened to the dimensions of a wagon road, to permit transportation of mine machinery and equip ment.
 The property is considered one of great promise, prelimi- nary development work in earlier years having demon 'trated that the group contains number of ore shoots carry ing unusually high values.
