Wagner Optimistic on Trade Future. E. W. Wagner, nertiber of Jij New York sto k exchange and who has a branch office in this city under the management of Phillips & Sprague, takes a very optimistic view of the business situation. He says: * “I h'ave never known of a time when there were so many genuinely bullish factors on which to base a great constructive campaign in the New York stock market. The United States holds one-fourth of the world’s gold supply; money is superabundant and rates are low; every big city in the country is bursting with industrial activity the like of which has never been knewn before; countrywide rejsorts on general business read like a romance; the crop loss s more than compensated oy the increase In prices; we have a country that will take 300 years to develop to the maximum; land values can not help but advane every year. A great war is the only thing that 1 know of that can upset these calculations. Leading representative industrial corporations are earning from 25 to 60 per cent on their capital issues and surpluses are piling up to an of total. Earnings considered, many of these stocks are relatively cheaper than ever before. How can lie junior issues of the concerns enjoying these big earnings help but advance when to these shares accrues the surplus profits. I am not alarmed over the labor agitation. It will have on / a temporary effect.

For the third time, in almost as many months the Morocco telephone plant has changed hands, the deal having been, completed* Wednesday. This time the deal was made by John F. 'Bruner, buying out his partner, C. M. Brandt, and then selling or tyad- . ing a half interest in the business te Ed Fleming for the Hebron plant, which Fleming recently purchased of Bruner. The new firm will t'ake charge at once and Mr. Brandt is now out. Great Fortunes Have ... Been Made In Oil. A SIOO.OO worth of stock bought one year ago of the Farmers Petroleum Co., of Humble, Texas, sold recently for forty thousand Jollars. Stock in the Thayer Oil & Gas Co. ran be bought this week, before the shooting of their first well at 25c per share. A small investment in this stock at the present time might mean a fortune to you, as all indications point to the opening of a- great oil and gas field in the Thayer district. Act quickly as the price is almost sure to go to par value within a week or ten days. Come to Thayer and investigate for yourself. We can already show you gas in great volume —the finest ever discovered in America. We can convince the most skeptical that both gas and oil are here in great quantities. —Adv. BBF8BLIO&1I TICKET.
