UTOCK IS ALL SOLD. The Marconi Wireless Tulnmnh nnanciai statement of the comoanr shows that there are hut a ftoa ahnrea unanlri In 1 i. tren.urv nf th company, that this stock 1 held, in reserve and AT PRESENT I not for sale at any price. A usual, when something Is not to be had everybody want it. There will be an enormous demand jor Marconi Securities from now on. and the law of ailtinlv and damand. which nvrna Vfrvllilnn marketable, will, on aocount of the great demand for and the scarcity of the stock. send it price up by leap and bound, as waa the history of Bell Telephone. SYNDICATES SEEKING CONTROL. It appear that certain prominent Interests, barked by those who desire to posses themselves of a controlling interest of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph, have formed a powerful "syndicate" or "pool" to get control. They have already tried In different ways by advertising and otherwise to discour age Marconi stockholders and Induce them to part with their holdings. ,. "J". belleve1 people have offered and advertised Marconi stock below the market price while they had none to sell, but have been and are now heavy buyers of It, and that they are prepared to pay an enormous price with such an object In view. They must, however, obtain the majority of thi stock to accomplish their ends. This wa know nosltlvelv th-v cannot An W take advantage of this opportunity to thank all our customer for their patronage, and urge them to stand with us to a man and oppose the aforesaid syndicate. luiiowuig advertisement appeared in the New Xorii Herald and Other leading dallies through country within the last few weeks: "A large stockholder In the Marconi Wireless Telegraph company of America "desires to enter Into an agreement with all holders of stock In this company for the formation of pool which wiU have the power to fix the in arket value of these securities at a figure comnieneurate with their intrinsic worth, , the pool arrangement to extend over a period of one year from March 1, J 900.. All pooled stock to be placed in escrow with a promi - nent trust company in New York. For full particulars , address. Larice FroiK. box 488, - Herald. Downtown" ' j. . . ' . v I - -XT: "The advertiser desires to purchase a large block of stork and deposit certificates of the aforesaid company, and will pay spot cash for. all offerings up to 27,000 shares if offered at' a reasonable figure, or will pny a nominal snm for an option to holders of the rrirltios to purchase within a period of CJO to f0 days. "I desire every holder of Marconi stock or deposit certificates to communicate with me Imme diately, statin riumtxT of shares or deposit certlfloates held and price desired for same. Writ with out delay to New York Syndicate, M Herald Downtown." This demonstrates beyond a doubt that there are two cliques trying to obtain control of this com pany, and there are other pools working In secrecy. HOLD ON TO YOUR STOCKS. We say to you, do not part with your stock. It will soon be worth several time what they are willing to otTrr you now. There 1 no possibility of their getting the majority If Marconi stockhold ers stand together and don't sell out to them. Do not soli, but buy all the stock you can. The stock of this company is In the hands of Inventors, not speculators, and Is held by thousands of stock holders all over the country, all the way from New York to Ban Francisco, and from the Yukon territory to l'anama. In tins wide distribution of stock are found the strength and security of the Marconi company, and proves the wisdom of it policy. The undouuted Integrity and ability of the men at the head of the company It president, Hon. John W. Orlggs, ex-governor of New Jersey, and former attorney general of the United States in President Mcivinley s cabinet; Mr. H. H. MoCJure, publisher of McClure Magaainn, and others of equal prominence on the directorate; the consulting engineers, Including Thomas A. Kdlson, Prof, l'upin. of Columbia college, and Mr. Marconi positively guarantee a "square deal" to the stockholders. IK) NOT ALLOW THE VOTA1UES OF "FRENZIED FINANCE" OH THE "SYSTEM" TO FOOL YOU INTO SELL1NU. Now that the Marconi Wireless Telegraph la doing business on a commercial basis; that all the expenditures have been maiio to bring it up to that point, these syndicates, of course, want to grab It aim reap' tor luemselves tlio enormous pr (jilts which they know are now near at hand. The receipts of the American Marconi company have steadily Increased and dividend date la getting nearer and nearer every day. LAKGE UlSINESS. . " According to the latest statement In the public press of Mr. John Bottomley, secretary of the American Marconi company, we have It that on the Dams of the last quartur Hie messages tne Ameri can Marconi company is receiving and sending amount to seveiai hundred thousand words, and at tne rata tne ue of tne Marconi telegraph is increasing will reach .nitiiuns almost, immediately. A large block of the stoca of the American Marconi company is licid cioseiy oy innutis lor a big advance in price to hundreds, even thousands, ol dollars per share, tne pi ospecliv e vaiu of Maiuuiu stocks is unsurpassed, unparalleled. It Is greater than any olner security ever ottered. VALUE OF THE 1'ATENTS. The object of the "syndicates" above referred to in trying' to secure the majority of the stock Is to apparently turn over tne. patents of the company to parties who want them tor many times the company present capitalization. In consequence of tne low capitalization of the company Uu,t,uou;, mtjy could immediately bring up the value ol the securities to many times their present value. vVe repeat, keep your stocks. We know whereof we are speaking, and our advice is worth heed ing. This advertisement appears today as a warning in Uie leading newspapers of our large cities, so tnat everyuouy may be imormed. Marconi s stocks are ncid today by the best people, among whom are bankers, merchants, law yers, physicians, clergymen, army and navy omceis, senators, publio oihclals, HKllled mechan.es, etc. Witnlu the next Uu db.ys the stock of the American company should double in price.

Another one that appeared: '.Marconi stockholders. ..- OPEN1NQ OF TRANSATLANTIC SERVICE. Mr. Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Associated press, is quoted In the New Tork Herald Of F ebruary 4, 1&6, as stating that the results of the Seciol tests now In progress "are amazing." ins "syndicates " know Hits, too, and this is another reason lor their trying to get this stoca away from the present stockholders before they wake up to the realization thai uielr Holdings have Increased greatly in value as the immediate result oi tne opening ot tne trausauautlo service to tne commerce of the world. from that time on the Marconi WlreleB Telegraph become a powerful competitor of the cables, as It can afford to send messages across the Atlantic at less than half the rate per word charged by the cables, and they tear this will greatly depreciate tne value of tneir stock in the cable com panies. The opening of these transatlantic stations will be rapidly followed up by the establishment of more transatlantic station until there will be as many us there are cables today, which will cut se verely Into the receipts of the cable business, whose earnings amount to z&j.uoo.ouu annually, t here are lt47,uuo,uuo Invested in needless wires In the United Slates alone. The substitution of wireless tor wire would mean au annual saving ot )20,000,0uu in Interest. THE PROGRESS OF MARCONI WIRELESS. , The capitalist who row desire to control tne company would not have bought Marconi stock two year ago, but h-ive wailed until they knew beyond a doubt tnat tne Marconi system was an absolute success. This has been proven to even the must skeptical. The Marconi system Is Installed on every large transatlantic steamer afloat, which means that message can be sent to and from all steamer and to bolli sides of tne Atlantic. A number of the largest steamers are publishing daily newspaper. The Marconi company has arranged with ths fostal. Western Lnion 'ieiegrapn and Britisu post office to : receive and transmit messages trom each and every one of their oliices throughout the I nlted Slates, Canada and Great Britain, giving the Marconi company the benefit of otlices In some ib.ujo towns and cities and the benent ot over )JU,J0u,txiu of capital Invested by these telegraph com panies. There is no walling tor the company to meet with success. This point lias aireaay been passed. Nearly all the foreign navies are equipped with the Marconi system. IMMENSE PROFITS. The "syndicates" also realize the enormous prollts that the Marconi company must receive from the equipment of the merchant marine of the .L nlted Slates, numbering over ,000 ocean-going and coastwise steamers and sailing vessels, which, with the United States fleet of over Sou warsmps, on tne basis of only J,uou per vessel, would amount to over Jou.uou.Ow. Ths Marconi system does all that the wire and cable systems do, and also wnatf they cannot do sends messages to ship at sea and trom ship to shore, also from snip to ship. We stated from ths erst that the protlts would be enor mous, and ws maintain ana repeat wnut we nave saio. -. , . PRESS ENDORSEMENTS.

In a three-quarter page article devoted to the Marconi system and its great achieve ments, stated that l.t"Xi messages, commercial and personal, had been sent from one ship to others and to shore stations on one trip. Thi means an expenditure by passenger ol more than $2.0 on a single trip. On a recent trip to New Y'ork from Hani-, burg the Amerika sent 700 dispatches to ship and shore, which.

The showing waa J not a surprise in view of ths course of J lhe money market this wees, and of the reports of the known movements of money Tpnich made their appearance yesterday. The cash loss disclosed by tha bank state ment of J7.IM.ZM0 was about equal to the minimum estimate ot yesterday. Tha con sidir'hie loan expansion of f7,206,aOO oc cai billed some surprise.

The closing tone waa Irregular, with some evidence ot support hero and there. The last occasion on which the bank snowed a dencit In tha surplus reserves was on December t last.

Not much countenance ws given In banking circles to the sup position of Urge gold shipments to arrive In iondon or of the likelihood of securing large amounts tor New York.

CATTLE There were about a many cattle here as usual on a Saturday, that is, not enough of any kind to make a mar ket. The receipts for the week show a falling off ot ruin around 2,ou0 head, as compared with last year, but, on the other hand, there waa a alight gain over a year ago. A very large proportion of all the cattle coming forward this week has consisted of beef steers, all other kinds of cuttle being In moderate supply. While choice caltle have not been car tlcularly plentiful this week, there have been a good many loads of fair to good kinds, au that the market haa been well supplied all the week up until Friday, when there waa the usual falling oft In the run. The market during the early part of the week showed very little change. It being quoted about steady, as compared to thoae prevailing at Giber market points. On UbursUay there was an eantlug oil, ao Uiat at the close ot ths week values are close to 10a lower than at tbe close of the previous week. There has been very much sameness to the cow market, good cows and heifers have been free sellers all the week -at good steady prices, and at the present lime are In practically the same notches as one week ago. Common, rough, thin and old cows on the canner and. cutter order have been poor seller every day. Prices on such cattle are not only low, but packers appear to have very little use for canning stock at the present time and It Is a diflicult matter for receivers to Had a buyer. There la nothing new to offer regarding the stocker and feeder trade; good feeders have been In demand all the week and have sold at steady prices. Toward the latter part of the week there was some tendency toward accumulation In the hands of speculators, the country demand being rather light, but fortunately fresh supplies fell off in time to prevent any material change In the market. HOGS Today's hog trade was practically a duplication of yesterday. The market opened a little bit stronger than yesterday's close, or about like yesterday morning. Ths early sales were largely on the basis of $6.22. A little later on, after the more urgeot orders were filled, the market eaBed Off somewhat the same as It did yesterday, the later sales being largely at $;.20. The bulk of all the hogs sold at $6.20416.22. the same as yesterday, making the general market today fully steady with yesterday. While the trade was not very active at lhe current prices, there were so few hog here that a reasonably early clearance was effected. SHEEP The market wa especially bars this morning, there being neither stale nor fresh receipts to make a test of values. Tho market this week ha been In very fair con dltlon and such changes ns have taken place have been on the side of a better range of values. The demand has be-.-n especially active for heavy hep and ewes, which are IMic higher than a week ago. A a matter of course shippers will under, stand that this means those having quality as well as weight. Lambs have been Just about steady all the week, there being hardly any quotable change In either direc tion. With the Improvement on heavy sheep and ewes has come a better feeling all around and the trade this week has been In a good, healthy condition throughout. On most daya the market has opened In good season, with the movement reasonably active, so that the arrivals have generally sold quite freely. There have been a good many buyers looking for sheep and lamb that would do to shear and reed out and they have kept such kinds as packers could not use well cleaned up. Taking everything into consideration, sellers have been very well satisfied with the week' operation. Shorn sheep and lambs are commencing to come forward, a few shipments having been received this week. As noted before In these columns, sheep are generally about $1 per 100 under wool stock and lambs tl.OtJ 1.25 under.
