NEW TORK, March .-Tb short session
at the Stock, exchange today wan occupied
with another large volume of business and
with wild price fluctuations Innculi up"n
prices at different times during the session
made new levels In many cases, but there
were points of resistance In the market
throughout and the ri'xlng tono was dis
tinctly strong, with price on thu uparado
and not a few conspicuous net jthIiis tor
the days
The points of weakness that had mo't
effect on speculative sentiment were United
States Steel and I'nlon Pacific. The tlrst
named made a low level at 87 within tho
first hour after opening-, and rumors were
diligently circulated of cancellation of
orders for the company's product for fu
ture delivery. Thene received no confirma
tion and the stock rallied with the general
market and closed at a decline of The
preferred stock was supported and closed
with a fractional gain. The special weak
nees In I'nlon Pacific was attributed to
fears of a suit by the government growing
out of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion's Investigation to compel the divorce
of the Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific. The Oould Blocks were unsup
ported still and there were wide decline In
some of the stock not Usually active. The
Pennsylvania group, Including Heading,
gave evidence of absorption and there wus
a vigorous rebound In Atchison.
The 'bank statement wen regarded as
weak, but Its publication did not deter the
bears from pursuing their late covering
operations.
The outflow of cash was larger than ex
pected, but the. slock market liquidation
was reflected In the considerable loa.i con
traction. Money and discounts rose In
London, but sterling exchange continued
to recede here. Indicating a prospect of a
contest or new arrivals of gold In the
London market. Total sales of bonds, par
value, 81,4R4,OUO.
Bonds have been unsettled and weak. In
sympathy with stock. I'nlted States as

sence of continental support.

CONDITION OF OMAUA'S TRADE
Optimiitio Expression of 111 Lines Are
Heard from Jobbers.
WEATHER HAS A MATERIAL INFLUENCE
Car Shortage Rears Ite Weight with
Marketing, Especially Imple
ments for Which De
mand Is Strong,
Optimistic expressions are heard from
Jobbers In all lines of business concerning
the outlook for the advancing spring trade,
although the shortage of cars causes con
siderable alarm In some quarters, ship
ments and receipts being delayed on ac
count of the unusual quantities of goods
handled. While me cars for shipping are
being received, the condition as regards
the hardware and Implement Jobbers Is de
scribed hi extremely acute, many shipments
being delayed for months with little pros
pect of their Immediate receipt.
Weather conditions in the northwest have
had much Influence on the trade In several
lines, but the last few days of pleasant
weather have resulted In tne Incoming of
many buyers from eastern and central Ne
braska and adjacent Iowa and Dakota
cities. The car shortage has been the chief
factor In the Implement trade during the
week, cars being obtained only with great
difficulty.
All Implement Jobbers have received no
tice from manufacturers of a straight In
crease In price of 5 per cent on all lines,
effective at once, and the word has passed
along to the traveling salesmen to govern
themselves accordingly. The reason for
the advance, which Is considered perfectly
legitimate, Is given that there was no ad
vance last fall In the prices on Implements
when buggies and wagons were subjects
to the 6 per cent raise and that the present
Increase has been merely delayed for sev
eral months: The Increased cost of ma
terials, labor and of transacting business
In general Is deemed the cause of the flat
Increase, which has been expected by the
joooer ana retailer alike ever since the
Increase on buggies and wagons.
All Implement Johhers are unusually
rushed In their salnplng departments,
which have been crowded to their capacity.
All Implements are selling well, as Is
usunl at this period of the year, nearly all
supplies of buggies on contract or first
orders having been disposed of, but no sec
ond orders have been received or are ex
pected so early In the season. Increased
trade Is reported In seeders, drills, plows,
planters, harrows and other strictly agri
cultural Implements, but a period of de
pression In these particular lines is expected
soon.
Collections on Implement sales could be
better as thpy are rather slow, but are In
fair shape, although extensions are being
requeated with more than satisfactory fre
quency. Heavy Demand for Shoea.
Shoe Jobbers report a large call for rubber
goods on account of the moisture present
over the entire west. The rubber trade
seems to be Inclined to the belief that a
lower range of prices cannot be expected
as the demand for all lines of goods Is
unprecedented. Sales of rubbers In north
ern Nebraska have been very large on ac
count of the climatic conditions prevailing
extensively.
Larger stocks of rubber goods are being
carried and the supply does seem to nearly
equal the steady demand.
Irge quantities of all varieties of shoes
are being shipped, although the demand Is
but normal for this season, as the spring
rush Is nearly over. Sales of Oxfords are
about the average and high shoes continue
to lead the market In certain sections. Tans
are not In demand and evince plainly that
the tan shoe la not to be popular during
the coming season.
Dry goods Jobbers had good house trade
during the last week and order business Is
good as well, both direct and from travel
ing salesmen. The market continues ex
ceptionally strong. American grays and
prints and mournings, which were held at
M4j cents, were advanced Friday H rent.
Clarets and reds were also advanced Friday
to 6 cents and almost everything In plain
cotton goods, printed goods of all kinds
made In plain cloth, has been marked up.
Jobbers are taking orders for printed
fabrics of all kinds at the opening prices,
on which advances are looked for In the
near future.
Collections are fairly satisfactory when
consideration Is given to the approach of
the heavy buying season.
No Change In Hardware.
No change In hardware prices Is reported,
Ther Is a decided scarcity of goods, owing
to the car shortage, particularly on nails,
as factories are three weeeks behind on
orders. There is a lnrge demand for wire
nails and wire fencing. The volume of
business In sporting goods, base ball, ten
nis and golf, has been exceedingly large
and will be probably double the large trade
of last year. The trade In sporting goods
has only begun and Jobbers look for an in
crease over the present brisk trade.
Cars remain scarce and orders are far
behind. Few buyers called on the trade
during the last week. Collections have
been good.
Shovels, spades and, In fact, all kinds of
steel gardening tools, are in good demand,
particularly In Colorado and Utah.
The spring trade in hardware promises to
eclipse that of previous years, but Jobbers
compluln of short supplies of stock, as
goods ordered In December have not been
received and are not even In transit. This
Is cause for some apprehension, but better
conditions are looked for.
In the tirocery Line.
No change Is reported In prices of refined
sugars at this point. New York refiners
have advanced the Hat 10 cents per hun
dred and It is rumored that New Orleans
has followed with a similar advance. The
raw market is strong and active, prices
ruling He higher than last week. London
also reports a much better market on raws
and some speculation has been evident, re
sulting In higher prices ruling for the last
half of March and first half of April de
liveries, as prices at the present time are
on a very low basis for this season of the
year. Many buyers are taking advantage
of this fact and laying In liberal supplies.
The coffee market has been advanced
during the week about 4V4c and has been
strong lite last three days, but showing
some evidences of weakening. The demand
for all coftees is tremendous over the en
tire country, with a smaller available sup
ply to select from than there was last year,
ulihougn the visible supply has Increased
2,wc,uou bags over last year. This Is due
to the fact that the Brasilian government
has curtailed the supply by heavy pur
chases of the native growth.
The cheese market is practically un
changed, although it Is hard to secure
goods. Some lines are exceeedlngly scarce
and almost unavailable. It will probably be
only a short time until all fancy October
slock Is out of the market. The general
volume of business for the week has been
very satisfactory.
Fancy Goods, Fish and Fruit.
Fancy goods of all kinds have been sold
In large quantities during the last week.
It Is now Hearing the season when all re
tailers are slocking up on olives, which are
extremely scarce on account of a partial
ciop failure; Imported sardines and other
lines of fancy groceries. Prices ruling at
the present lime are low and no chance,
as far as any estimate can be given, for
any lower range of prices In the near fu
ture. All fancy goods are believed to be a
good buy at the present market, which
rules sarong.
Fish remainln good demand, no reason be
ing Been why there should be any falllnir
I oft, as the end of lent does not come until
I March 3o. Prices on Holland herring.
mackelel and all smoked Hsh are higher,
and it is a question of getting gouds more
than of price. Smoked bailout is in fair
demand and Jobbers are under supplied.
Slocks of all lisn and fancy goods are
somewhat depleted.
Several varieties of fresh fruits and vege
tables have been placed on the market
during the last week. A fresh carloud of
tomatoes, new potatoes, new onions, green
' peppers ana string ueans nave been re
1 ceived direct from Cuba In fine condition
and are selling at reasonable prices. Sup
plies of vegetables are plentiful In all lints.
Strawberries ure becoming very scarce and
will remain so for the next ten days, the
retail price having been 1 aided from ttc
to between 30c and 35c per quart box. Let
tuce Is very plentiful; cucumbers are blxh.
' but not In great demand at present retatl
' ing prices. A peculiar situation Is ore-
sented In the potato market, which Is fairly
low locally, but is at a ciitical stage in
California, where Wisconsin potatoes are
ben g shipped for the first time in over ten
rears. '1 i.se Jupuneee truck gardeners of

That is heralded throughout the Dlaninndfield Ills
trict as the next in line to open tip the wealth of
Croesus, already exposed in the Great Itcnd and
Daisy mines to the east, is the GOLDFIKLl) AME
THYST. This great property lies within 800 feet of the
Great Iiend mine, and mining engineers who have
carefully examined both properties report that It Is
simply a question of depth and development before
opening up the same great ore bodies as in the
Daisy and Great llend. The surface formation and

THE MAN
BXXMOVSriEX.) JACK DAVIS
Who is known throughout Nevada and the United
States at large as the most sucreaeiful operator in
the mining world today is DIAMONDKIELD JACK
DAVIS.
HIS FAMOUS DIAMOXDF1EI.D MIXES, Includ
ing the DAISV, DIAMONDKIELD TKIAXGLE,
QI AKTZITE, HLACK BUTTE, GKEAT BEND AX
NEX, El'HEKA and others, are known throughout
the land as among Uie richeM in the Goldficld Dis
trict. The discovery and acquisition of this rich mineral
section wias characteristic of that marvelous mining
acumen which has since won him recognition as one
of the greatest mining expert of the day. It was
tliis dl.seovery that made him famous in Ooldfield
history as "DIAMONDKIELD JACK DAVIS."
The Golden Hills of Diamondfield
The Diamondfield mines, without a single exception, are located alonp a great mineral bearing formation cutting the country due
east and west, marked by enormous outcropptngs and mammoth ledges. Among the great properties In Diamondfield orglnally taken up by
Mr. Davis is THE AMETHYST, situated less than COO feet west of the GREAT BEND MINE, and on that great mineral bearing zone whlch
is the sit of the DAISY. DIAMONDFIELD TRIANGLE, GOLDFIELD BELMONT and DIAMONDFIELD BLACK BUTTE CONSOLIDATED
among the richest mines In Goldfield and every one an ORIGINAL DAVIS PROPERTY.
Yielding to solicitations of clients, brokers and investors, Mr. Davis has finally consented to place the AMETHYST on tho market,
and thla great property has been incorporated as the
GOLDFIELD AMETHYST MINING COMPANY
Capital Stock, 1,000,000 Shares; Par Value, fl.OO Per Share 100,000 Shares In the Treasury; Fully raid and Forever Nonassessable.

"Amethyst a Shipping Mine in Thirty Days
The property of the GOLDFIELD AMETHYST MINING COMPANY consists of the AMETHYST lode claim, situated less than 800 feet
westerly from the GREAT BEND mine, and the STORMY NIGHT lode claim, situated north of Diamondfield in the Klondyke Miilng District,
midway between Goldfieid and Tonopah and in the heart of the richest mineral districts ever discovered; approximately a total area of 40
acres.
The most cursory examination of the accompanying map will show the unequalled location of the AMETHYST property, situated as
it is on the same great mineral zone and traversed by the same great ledges that cut the Belmont, Black Butte, Jumbo Extension, Daisy, Dia
mondfield Triangle, Great Bend and Great Bend Annex.
On this property in the main shaft, on the 20-foot level, values as high as $52.60 have been encountered. The ore at this depth is of
the same general character and formation as that found in the DAISY and GREAT BEND mines.
The STORMY NIGHT lode is one of the richest pieces of mining property in Nevada today, traversed by an enormous mineral bearing
ledge that cuts from end to end. Mr. Davis has held this property for over four yearB. and up to the present time has developed it solely
upon bis own resources. He has already made two shipments of high grade ore from the property, and a recent assay in the main shaft
disclosed values of $238 to the ton. It is safe to predict. that this mine will make a shipment within thirty days after the development work
under way. ,
It Is no exaggeration to say that NEVER WAS THERE A GREATER IMMEDIATE PROSPECT FOR A GREAT GOLD PRODUCING
MINE THAN IS EMBODIED IN THE PROPERTY OF THE GOLDFIELD AMETHYST MINING COMPANY.

Limited Offering of Treasury Stock at 20 Cents
Last week we announced the offering of 100,000 shares, of the treasury stock of the Company at 20 cents. Since that date we have
received telegrams, orders and inquiries from all parts of the country. Every indication points to an oversubscription of the present treasury
allotment. After the present offering is exhausted no more stock will be sold AT ANY PRICE.
There is not another stock in the Goldfield District which represents such value. GOLDFIELD AMETHYST TODAY HAS A FAR
BETTER SHOWING THAN DID THE DAISY, BELMONT or DIAMONDFIELD TRIANGLE WHEN MR. DAVIS FIRST TOOK CHARGE OF
THESE NOW FAMOUS OPPORTUNITIES. We believe GOLDFIELD AMETHYST with development will prove to be one of GOLDFIELD'S
LEADING MINES.
Remember Our Diamondfield Record
We have never been connected with a failure, and those who have followed our Mr. Davis in the past have made fortunes. The DAISY,
BLACK BUTTE CONSOLIDATED, BELMONT, DIAMONDFIELD TRIANGLE, EUREKA, GREAT BEND ANNEX and others of our Mr.
Davis' original holdings are among the most valuable and active stocks in Goldfield today.
FOLLOW HIM WITH THE AMETHYST. THIS STOCK WILL BE QUICKLY OVERSUBSCRIBED. WIRE YOUR RESERVATION'S

While there is a good fair movement In
dried fruits, the market Is quiet with little
