NDER McADIE, I Forecast Offici N NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—The stock market got away from the bears in the later dealings to- day and closed buoyant and very active, in part because of the rush of the shorts to cover. Some of the specialties were strong throughout the day, but there was a period in the early session when- the reactionists’ galned , control, some of the Southern and Southeastern stocks being sold down over a point. The bears also attempted to utilize the introduction at Albany of bills directed against combines of capital, but the effect of these bills was confined to Consolidated Gas, which fell over @ point. Some heaviness early was manifested also In | other prominent railroad stocks, which may have been due to sympathy with the depres- sion in the same stocks in London and on| European exchanges. This was notably the | case with the New York Central stocks and | Northern Pacific preferred. The forced cover- | ing of shorts and the later buoyancy of the | market brought the extreme advances In some | of the most prominent stocks to nearly 2 points | or over, and ne: gains of a point or over are very frequent throughout the list. The failure of the bears to effect declines encouraged ag- gressiveness in the bulls. There was & grow- ing feeling also that recent utterances by rail- | way officlals pointing to poor returns on ac- count of low rates and rate-cutting were not | fully warranted and were designed to influ- ence public opinion and the action of Co gress. The day’'s reports of raiiroad earnings came to re-enforce this view. Officially the Union Pacific reorganization commiittee presented its check to the Assistant United States Treasurer for $5,500,000, which is the final payment in the Union Pacific sale. The consummation of this deal, which has been a disturbing factor in the money market for a month, and the absence of flurry on go- count of it in the money market to-day were viewed with relief by Wall street. The future ease of the money market now seems assured 80 far as Government operations are concerned. This encouraging combination of ecircum- stances served to put an end to the bear cam- paign to-day and turned the tide in favor of the bulls, though the day's business was still largely confined to the professional trading ele- ment. The bond market took on an increased ac- tivity and strength in sympathy with stocks, and prices were generally higher. Total sales, | Rio, | 6%c; mild, easy; Cordova, $2.850,000. United States new fours were 3 higher bid, the fives registered 3% higher and the old fours registered and the fives coupon % higher. Total eales of stocks to-day were 28700 shares, including: Atchison preferred 4840, Manhattan 19,300, Metropolitan Street Rallway 4520, Missouri Pacific 9550, M. K. and T. pre- ferred 3285, New York Central 3050, Northern Pacific preferred 63%, Rock Island 7310, St. Paul 20,430, Union Pacific 588, American To- bacco 8512, Chicago Great Western 4920, Peo- ple's Gas 14,128, Sugar 18,59. LONDON MARKET. NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here were quiet, but strong, to-day. The feature was the rise in Grand Truoks on professional support here and from Glasgow. There was a further rise in China and Japan loans. Americans were neglected, but closed better. Union Pacific was strong. Gold 1s 77s 104d. The money market was easy on the release of Government dividends and the discount houses may lower the de- | posit rates. Money is very tight in India and a further | rise in the bank rates there to-morrow is prob- able. New South Wales announces the issue of a 8 per cent loan for £1,500,000 at 9.

May opened at from $ic to Sijsc and July from S2%c to Sc. It acted irregularly within @ narrow compass for an hour, playing_ during that time between 91%c and Slc. The slightly easier feeling with which trading commenced “was‘ partly due to a crop report of Thoman that made the acreage planted with winter Wheat 114 per cent larger than the area harvested last season; also re- ported the condition now against 84.1 De- cember 1 last, and estimated the guantity In farmers' hands at 240,000,000 bushels, or 4131 per' cent of last year's crop, and that there is avallable for export in the next six months 100,000,000 bushels. It was also a matter of some ' disappointment to the bulls that the Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were not Te- duced more materially than as shown by 35 carlouds at the two places to-day, as against 441 a week ago and 120 carloads the corre- sponding day of last vear. Chicago made some amends, however, only 2 cars being returned, ‘agalnst estimates made the day before for and compared with 155 the similar day of last week and 37 a year ago. Liverpool was about %d lower to begin with and dropped another 3d later in the day. The first thing the bulls got any additional comfort {rom was the saie by Armour & Co. of 46,000 bushels of No. 2 spring Wheat for ex- port at once by rail hence to the seaboard, and a rumored sale of a further 32,000 bushels. The price was said to be 4} below the May price. New York confirmed the taking for ex- port yesterday of 54 boatioads—4%6,000 bushels —there and 176,000 bushels at outports. The export clearances from Atlantic ports were again liberal, amounting in Wheat and Flour to 509,000 bushels. That was a sustaining fac- tor, but when about two hours of the session had gone, and the forelgn markets were found to have closed weak, confidence began to de- sert the early buyers and they became more anxjous to avold a loss during the following half hour than they had been before to secure a prefit. Liverpool closed %d lower for the day, Paris at a decline of from 10 centimes to 15 centimes in Flour and 10 centimes in Wheat, while Antwerp, in addition to a drop of 133 centimes for red American the day before, re- ported a further deciine of a like extent for h red winter and white Californian. These features of the midday news caused a break to %0%c shortly after their receipt. Leiter's agents were quite active sellers on the de- cline and the bull crowd was apparently play- ing for & break. Nevertheless it had the ef- fect of keeping the smaller fry out, and after those who had bought in the morning had liquidated at a loss there was little trade of consequence besides the Leiter transactions the local crowd evidently heing afrald of be: ing caught. A short time before the close M reacted to 90%c, proved the final fig.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET. BOSTON, Jan. 6.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow of the Wool market: Most persons in the Wool market have the tmpression that this has been a quiet week, | whereas the sales in Boston have amounted to | 650,000 pounds, 254,000 pounds more than the previous week. This is an extraordinary showing for the first week of the year. Below we tabulate the showing for the past week, as compared with the corresponding period for a number of years: Pounds.| Year. Pounds. 1,804,500 1898 - 1,650,000 3,009,000 1897 - 3,300,000 1,857,000 1896, - 3,000,500 9 2,427,000 1895, L 796,000 We see from this that the sales last week | corresponding period in the last seven yeafs. It is judged that, owing to the shortage In the Australian clip and the defective character of the Wool, good staple Wool wiil not be easily obtalned during coming months. Con- sequently the large mills have been continued heavy purchasers of domestic staple. Nominal quotations have not been advanced, but it is now much easier to obtain the prices which dealers have been holding for ever since the “boom’ culminated in October. Consignees have placed new restrictions on Eastern hold- ers of Wool. Staple Territory cannot be bought under 52 clean, and some ask 5Sc. Fine and fine medium Wools are worth fully 50c-and medium is quoted at 45c. In foreign Wools, Australian cross-breds have been a feature, some half-blood selling at 3ic NEW YORK WOOL SALES. NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—The fifth auction of wool was held to-day at the Wool auction. rts of the country were present. The ca ogues consisted of over 130,000 pounds of Wool on a greased basis, and which realized over $250,000. About 60 per cent of the Wools were domestic. Boston, Providence, Hartford and Philadelphla were well represented by buyers. NORTHERN WHEAT MARKET. PORTLAND, Or.

A VE The standing for his opinion, but this depart- ment finds “that a patent vests the patentee with the common right of ownership from the center of the earth vpward to the sky, and the additional right to follow a vein or lode upon Its dip within his side lines under the sur- face of adjoining territory (United States Revised Statutes, section 2322; Iron Co. vs. Elgin Co., 118 U. 8., 218); provided he has the apex or lode within his claim and subject to the same right in behalf of others similarly situated. In other words, the patentee nas no _greater rights, privileges or immunities than had a locator on the question of extra lateral rights. In either event he mayv invade other territory or have his own territory invaded when the circumstances warrant, whether both are held by loca- tion or patent, or one is patented and the other is held by location, and the relative dates of patents or notices of lo- cation are immaterial (Colorado Central vs. Turck, 50 Federal Reports, 888). But the vein cannot be followed into the lands of an adjoining proprietor who holds an elder title under a patent for agricultural lands (Amador vs. Spring Hill, 35, F. R., 668). Nor where the claim is in the form of an isosceles triangle can the lode or vein be followed through the side lines (Montana vs. Clark, 42, F. R., 626).""
