LARGE MOHAIR CLIP
Yield in Valley This Year Will
Be Over the Average.
SHEARING HALF COMPLETED
Prices Expected to Open Below Last
Year'e, but Competition May
Cause General .Advance
First Sale April 1.
Goat ebearinir U well under way in various
parts of the "Valley and it is estimated that
fully half of the clip of mohair has already
fcecn shorn. The state this year will produce
about 873.000 pound i. which Is somewhat over
the average. The first pool sale will be at
Dallas on April 1, when It Is expected that
76,000 pounds will 'be offered. A number of
smaller sales will be held later at other
points in the Valley.
The market now is nominal at 20320 cents
per pound. Dealers expect that prices, after
the season opens, will be about 5 cents under
last year's quotations, though competition may
run them up to 25 or 30 cents. Last season
mohair sold at 22334 cents. Under the keen
competeltion for the Oregon product buyers
went above values prevailing in the Eastern
markets and & number of speculators here are
said to bare lost heavily. Somo of them still
save & part of their old stock on hand.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin of latett
date says of the mohair situation in that
market:
No improvement over the conditions of last
week are apparent, the bulk of what business
Is transacted being the filling- of orders on old
contracts. There Is some new business coming
in, but there are no movements of any ac
count, and the condition of the market is
quiet. Although such is the case, values are
firmly held at the following Quotations: For-elgne-Turkey

BUYING FOR CONTROL
STOCKS TAKEN OUT OF MARKET
FOR HOLDING PURPOSES.
Good Resistance Shown During Week
to Selling Pressure Higher
Money Rates Expected.
NEW YORK. March IS. The movement of
the 'stock market today Indicated the activ
ity of contending force In the speculation,
and the contest between them was rather In
conclusive The cloeing was Irregular and not
far from last night's level, after having been
considerably below that Is the early dealings
and generally above oa the rally. Stocks
were freely sold during the early dealings and
the recovery seemed to be due to profit-taking
by the bears, who were disposed to close up
their contracts on three days reaction pre
liminary to the Sunday Interval In the market.
The showing by the banks In their weekly
statement, which had been counted upon by
the bears to Induce selling and thus afford
them an opportunity to cover, proved to be
not so weak as had been feared, so that the
buying by the shorts was of the greater
effect.
The weight of opinion la la faror of some
what higher rates for money. But offerings
of funds by the trust companies at the
higher rates may be expected. The usual dis
cussion Is thus Invited of the growing part
played by these institutions In the money
situation as a whole apart from the showing
by the banks themselves. Foreign exchange
continued Its decline la spits of the firmness
of discounts la London. Total sales of bonds,
par value were $3,775,000.
Speculative sentiment showed Itself distrust
ful of the market from the opening of the
week, but there was good resistance to the
moderate pressure during the early part of the
week. In the absence of any unfavorable pros
pect In the general business. Industrial and
financial conditions. "With the rise la the call
loan rate for mosey the reactionary tendency
assumed the upper hand and pressure to sell
overweighted the market.
There Is a large element among those operat
ing la stocks which has held conservative'
opinions on the market for soma time &ud pro
fessional traders hare constantly tilted the
market to find a yielding tendency. Theee
operations had proved so often unsuccessful,
necessitating the covering of short contracts
at a loss, that the bears had grows timid and
were keeping out of the market. The power
of the market to resist short sales and to
absorb the heavy proflt-tiklcg from tlmo to
time and the corstant development of new
points of strength served to convince the skep
tical that stocks were being taken out of the
market by substantial holding powers and gave
color to the many rumors constantly retailed
of accumulations of many stocks for purposes
of control and ultimate plans of combination
and readjustment of relations which were ex
pected to Increase the values of properties.
The bond market has been less active and
there has been no notable advance la prices
of railroad mortgagee United States bonds
were all unchanged on call on the week.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Decrease Is Cash Is Large, bat Is Less Thaa
Estimated.
NEW YORK. March IS. The Financier says:
The official statement of the Ne-sr York As
sociated Banks was Quite tmfavorable It
showed a large decrease la cash, partly as the
result of lighter receipts of currency from the
Interior, but chiefly because of the surrenders
of public deposits In response to the treasury
call which was leaned last November and
which finally matured oa Wednesday; the
operations of- ye Treasury' Incident to the re
quirements of the 5 per cent redemption
fund aad to remittances of excess Internal
revensa collections contributed to the loss of
cash. The decrease la this Item was, how
ever, smaller than that which was estimated
from the traceable movements of money during
the week. The discrepancy was due to the
fact that the principal movement out of the
banks, the transfer of pubVio deposits, was
completed by Wednesday, thus causing this
loss to count for an average of only three days
of, the bank week.
The statement of areragas of the clearing
house ban lr of this city for the week shows:

The Wonder of the World
Over $4,000,000
Worth of Ore Shipped In
One Short Year . .
1
"Goldfield Is
That Is the tray Mr. Laurence Tenny Gray, well-known In the mining
world of the "West, eplto'mizes his estimate of the mining camp that, in
its first year has shipped gold ore worth Four Millions of Dollars, break
ing ail TJnited States records and rivaling the highest score "made by the
Klondike during its palmiest days.
240 Per Cent Dividends
Ths Combination Mine of Goldfleld, which up to March 1st had been pay
ing dividends at the rate of 10 per cent per month on Its capitalize tion."of
5400,000, announces an increase of dividends to 20 per cent per month, or 2t0
per cent per annum; and mining engineers who recently Inspected the prop
erty assert that there is at least One Million Dollars' worth of ore in sight.
A Region of Vast Wealth
As development work progresses it Is apparent that Goldfleld is destined to
become the center of a. large area of gold-producing territory. The latest
news from Bullfrog, 75 miles south of Goldfleld, Is the uncovering of a 100
foot ledge that assays over One Thousand Dollars a ton. Still another 'Is
reported on ladd Mountain, near Bullfrog, where the pay streak shows &
value of
Five Thousand Dollars to the Ton
The Southwestern Securities Company, of Loa Angeles a corporation that
makes a business of buying and selling mines recently financed a new
company called the Goldfleld-Herald, In which the first allotment or block
of stock was over-subscribed In less than one week; and later marketed
the sioond allotment of shares at three times the first price all Inside of
thirty days.
This Company Now Offers GoIdfield-GIadlator
Shares at 5c; Par Value $1.00
The Gol(i2eld-Gladiator Company, incorporated for $3,500,000, controls three
claims tha Washoe, Stranger and Tucson which are located three miles
northeast of the City of Goldfleld, adjoining '. the Hercules Group of 20
claims, in which Mr. Charles M. Schwab is heavily interested.
The Southwestern Securities Company's resident Mining Engineer, Mr.
"W. 3. Ro'jerts, is now on the ground ready to begin development work
and & rich strike may be expected in the very near future, which will in
sure a rapid rise ia the price of shares.
Why Opportunity Is Offered
It Is the custom throughout the entire mining section of the Far West to
realize funds for development purposes by the sale of stock. A large por
tion of the stock of every company usually goes to those who put up the
money for the purchase of the company's property; and as most of this
money Is raised by mining men who know the district and are interested
in dozens of other enterprises, they are glad, at tho start, to avail them
selves of this mean of engaging outside capital.
History shows that the small investor is the man who, more than any
other, contributes to the upbuilding of greal Mining Camps because
when a man outside the mining region proper puts his money into one of
the mining properties, hls interest is focused on the mining situation of
the state, "and the task of securing big capital at "short notice for other
enormous mining enterprises which come up, and are bound to continue to
develop in a region where nature has distributed her health with such
prodigality, is a simpler matter.
