THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1930 \ PAGE SEVEN 1 Mining Market Featureless - With Falconbridge Showing ® Advance in Narrow Range de ¥ (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, March 7.--~Today's early session on the mining market, though slightly more active than it has been during the past week, was practi- pally featureless, with price changes and confined to a narrow -dnge. | 'Some attention was directed to- 'wards Falconbridge whose first ship- ment is understood to be ready for rd tation to the Norwégian Re- finery and the stock moved up a rte to $460 on fair demand. | Bherritt-Gordon and Sudbury Basin Jere both easier, however, while entures moved up 4 to $1.90. International Nickel sold up through $40 and at noon showed a gain of 40 cents. Noranda was off & half to $41.

Findings of a committee appointed by the Federal and Alberta Govern. ments indicated that Turner Valley was a gas field rather than an oil field, Eugene Coste, a member of the institute, pointed out. It was in the national interests to treat Turner Valley as a gas field, he said. More than 400 mining enginecss and their wives, from all over the Dominion, have assembled 'n Toron- to for the three-day convention of the institute, and the banquet hall of the Royal York Hotel has been turn ed into an exhibition of very kind of ore minded in this Dominion, as well as hydraulic, engineering and labora- tory equipment used in jts extraction fron the bowels of the earth. The federal and each of the provincial governments have detailed exhibits indicative of their particular mining activities. "Mining is essentially an optimist's game, but in view of recent develop- ments in Ontario, mining optimism is quite justified," Hon. Charles Mc- Crea, .minister of mines, told mem- bers of the institute at luncheon. A model of the Turner Valley field about 15 feet long, forms the back- ground for the Alberta exhibit. Dot- ted among little trees and buildings hundreds of miniature derricks rear their heads. And the huge chimneys of the Royalite Company rise along the banks of the tributaries to the Fish River. Glass containers of tar sands, the largest known deposit of which exists in this province are dis- played with dozens of different kinds of oils Building stones of most intriguing hugs and glistening gypsum and tin specimens are shown in the Manito- ba exl.bit, and gypsum tileg and wall boards are included ini the space oc- cupied by the department of mines of the Dominion Government. Alum- inum, mica, asbestos and copper from Quebec, fill another space, and On- tario is unigue with its huge pile of sort black lignite. The desire-of the Ontario Govern- ment to give every possible assist- ance to the mining industry was voiced 4 Mr. M¢Crea when he wel- 'comed the delegates to the conven- tion at noon. yesterday.

NEW YORK MARKET MOVED UPWARDS Easing Credit Conditions and Improved Industry Helped ( BY STANLEY W, PRENOSIIL, Associated Press Financial Editor) New York, Mar. 7.--The stock market, after an early period of hesitancy, moved upward again to- day in response to easing - credit conditions, and signs of improve- ment in some of the leading indus- tries. Buying orders were distri- buted over a fairly broad Hst bat the amusement, public utility, steel chemical and food issues, gave the best demonstrations of group strength." Five or more Stocks | again moved into new high ground on gains that ran from 1 to near- ly 10 points. While some disappointment was apparent as a result of the failure of the New York Federal Reserve Bank directors to cut the redis- count rate, following a lowering of the Bank of England charge yes- terday, the opinion was expressed in banking quarters that federal reserve officials would follow an easy credit policy through the pur- chase of bills and government se- curities. A lower rediscount rate is expected to follow in due course. The Reichsbank reduced its dis- count rate today from 6 to 5§ per cent, Directors of the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank made no change in the 4 per cent rate. Call money renewed at 4 per cent today but again dropped to 8%. The time money and bankers' acceptance markets were quiet, with the undertone easy. Sudbury Basin Mines Issues First Report Toronto, Mar, 7--<Although Sud- bury Basin Mines, LtJ., was original. ly incorporated on Feb, 4, 977, with a capital stock of 300,000 shares of no par value, and again took out in- corporation papers on Jan. 19, 1928, when the capital was extended to 2,- 000,000 shares of no par value, the statement now under review is the first printed report issued by the com pany. Of the capital stock of ' the company 1,665,505 shares have been issued, 30,000 have been allotted but not yet issued and 200,000 shares are under option/ until Jan. 1, 1931, at $10 per share, A rerusal of the company's balance sheet discloses a very satisfactory po- sition as regards liquid, assets, both in cash and in shareholding, says Jo- seph Errington, president. As is the policy of the directors to develop Sudbury Basin Mines, Ltd, as a holding rather than an operating com pany, it is expected hat the sum of $200,000 will be kept intact for the protection of the company's interests. The program of work contemplated in the near future on the property ut Vermillion Lake and on that of the subsidiary, Sudbury Nickel & Copper Company, is limited in scope, and consequently "will not call for heavy expenditures.

C, Tweed Liberal member for North Water- loo, is president and general man- ager," with buying and selling stocks, when such companies were barred from investing in anything other than debentures, Karl K Homuth, Congervative member for South Waterloo, created a storm in the Legislature )esterday. The company, Mr. Homuth | stated, had bought $393,000 w orth | of stocks which it traded instead of holding as investment prior to the amendment to the Ontario statute prohibiting stock opera tions by insurance companies.

On looking a little further back it would appear the tendency to anxiety has been caused chiefly by a lack of perspective, Comparing the present year with last year con crete indices of business activity are for the most part lower. When a survey of the last five years 1s taken, however, they are almost all higher, This longer comparison shows that during the whole per- fod since 1925 Canadian business has been on the upgrade, When comparison is made be- tween 1930 and 1929, out of 10 indiges based upon figures report- ed by the Doniinion Bureau of Stat- istics, three only are above last year, but when the survey is ex- tended to include a five-year per- | jod there are only two instances in which the index is lower than the average of the quinguennium. These two are carloadings and ex- ports, both of which are affected by. the situation in the grain trade. On the comparison with last year | against Toronto, March 7.--Brazilian Traction and International Nickel, central points of interest in trad- ing on Toronto stock exchange Thursday, ran into surprisingly little profit-taking this morning and although they were fraction- ally below their highs of yesterday both were holding well at 40 or better. Support was accorded in sufficient quantity to more than offset what gelling there was to take advantage of the bulge. Volume declined again as the market settled back into its accus- tomed lethargy. Oils were firm but not actively purchased and what changes there were over the general list were mostly of fruc- tional variety and carried no sig- nificance. Massey-Harris opened stronger and worked its way up to 36 by midday. Ford also show- ed a slight improvement but on the other hand C.P.R., old was down a couple of points, Famous Players slipped back to 50 and Walkers eased nearly # point.

Wilkins' daughter had a lover who came to call every evening and | took to s.aying later and later | every visit. There seemed to be no limit to the time of his departure. At last Wilkins decided that a stop must be put to it. As one o'clock struck one morning, he walked out of his bedroom and leart over the bannisters. | "Claudia," he called. "I think | you'd better get that young man his coat." t For a moment there was silence below, Then the ardent lover spoke. .| "Darling," he said coldly, "your father is a crank." There. came a snort from the top of the stairs. "Yes," growled: Wilkin, 'per- haps I am. But a erank is neces- sary when there is no self-starter." Identity of the young lady fis withheld, but the memory of her answer lingers on with the instruc- tor conducting a sciencp course at a local high school. One of the re- quirements in the written quiz was: "Define a bolt and nut and ex- plain the difference, it any." The girl wrote: "A bolt is a thing like a stick of hard metal such as iron with a, square bunch on one end and a lot of scratching wound around the other end. A nut is similar to the bolt only just the opposite, being a hole in a little chunk of iron sawed off short, with wrinkles around the inside of the hole."
