DEADWOOD, S. D.. Oct. 12. (Special. )
Superintendent Alien of th Lucky Strike
Mining company, tbe'grounds of which are
situated at Benchmark, on Elk creek, re-
... . - .., v.
bad been to attend a meeting of the atock
holders and director, of the company. At
tha meeting It waa decided to auk for bids
and award at once the contract for erect
ing a small atamp mill and saw mill on tho
ground. The claims of the company are all
heavily timbered, and the sawmill will bo
used for the purpose of getting out timbers
and lumber for the atamp mill. The de
velopment which haa been done on the
ground of the company during the last
spring and summer has opened the ore
bodies sufficiently to warrant the making
of this Improvement. Mr. Allen expects to
fcava the work atarted on the plant this
week and to have It in running order thia
year. While tha ore la a free milling prop
osition It la proposed to add cyanldtng
tanka for the treatment of the tailings.
Throe veins of free milling ore have been
opened up on the property, and on two of
them a good deal of development work hag
been done, while on the third the work has
been confined to the surface and la In the
nature of open cuts, which have exposed
the vein for a considerable distance along
Ita strike, and the ore taken from these
working, give very fair assay returns.
One vein, which Is shown on the White
Horse, Black Horse, Lillian and Bird lode
has been exposed for a distance of about
6,000 feet. This vein, at a depth of eighty
feet, la fourteen feet wide and will assay
from $1S to $22 per ton gold. Another shaft
of fifty feet lias been aunk on this vein,
from which cross cuts and drlfta have been
run, and In all of them the ore la of the
same average value. Besides these work
ings two tunnels have been driven on the
vein, both of them In ore which la as good
aa that found in the shafts. About 2,000
feet to the west of thla vein another vein
twenty feet In width baa been opened ip
on claims owned by the company.
The small plant which Is to.be built Is
purely for experimental purposes and will
be run continually during the winter months
and should tha ere prove to be so good as
the management has every reason to be
lieve It will, a larger plant will be erected
next year.
Besldea the Lucky Strike company, there
are other companlea working ground In the
vicinity, but none of the ground has received
the development which baa that of the
Lucky Strike. The Feterson ground, which
haa been worked only on the surface, shows
acme vary rich ore, In fact within a faw ft
of tha surface several tons of very rich ore
have been taken from the vein, which has
been sacked and shipped and the returns
have been sufficient to keep the work on
the property going steadily. A number of
Deadwood people are interested In the dis
trict and with the erection of the Lucky
Strike plant they will be given an oppor
tunity to have ore from their ground
tasted on a acale sufficiently large to give
them a good Idea of what Is In their ground.
New Com pa a y oat Ragged Top.
The Potsdam Oold Mining company la the
name of a new corporation recently organ
ised to prosecute mining operations In the
Ragged Top district. The company owns 600
acres of land adjoining the ground of the
EpearUsh and Dead wood-Standard, two com
panies which are at the present time operat
ing eyanidlng planta with a daily capacity
which aggregates 600 tons. These com
panies are operating on the same ahoots et
ore which are exposed on the ground of
the Potsdam company'a holdings. The offi
cers of the company are: William Lardner,
president; John Gray, vice president; W.
L. McLaughlin, aecretary; A. J. Maltner,
treasurer , The above named gentlemen
wlth R. N. Ogden constitute the board of
directors. Most of the company's ground
haa been patented, and tha rest is ready to
be patented. The company, will at once begin
the work of developing the ore ahoota which
have been exposed on its ground, and will
alao make arrangements for the erection of
a treatment plant. The Potsdam company
la a Deadwood organization and has been
lncoroprated under the laws of the state
of South Dakota.
Tba Ak-Sar-Ben Oold Mining company
la the name of another new company which
baa recently been organized to work ground
on Sheeptall gulch and which owna about
fifty acrea of good property. The officers
of the company are: O. L. Benway, Rock Is
land, 111., prealdent; J. W. Good, Chadron,
Neb., vice president; A. D. Benway, Lin
coln, Neb., secretary and treasurer. On
one . of the company'a claims, the Msggle,
there haa been opened up one of the largest
hoots of ore In the Black Hills. This ore
la slllcloua and one of the beat eyanidlng
proposition in the Hills, and will assay as
high as IIS to the ton. A tunnel is being
run on this shoot of ore, which Is openlug
It up. and another tunnel has been started
on the contact between the trachyte and
limestone, and the indicatlona ara that an
other big ahoot of ore will be struck. The
company will continue work on Its ground
all of tha .winter, and get it In ahape ao
that It can erect a treatment plant of Its
own In tha spring. It is said that the
company Is a atrong one and able to make
all the improvements necessary to work
the ground.
Mlnlngr Association Election.
The Black Hills Mining Men's association
will bold Us annual election of officers on
the 18th of the present month. At the
(meeting the committees which have been
collecting the 11.000 guarantee demanded
by the American Mining congress will make
a report. It la known beforehand that the
amount haa been ralaed and that a fund
of at leaat 111,000 baa been aa good aa
guaranteed for tha entertainment of the
members of the congress when It assemble
'in Deadwood and Lead next year. The
aaaoctatlon baa been one of the greatest
aids to the mining Industries of the Hills,
for it has really been a bureau of Informa
tion to th would-be inveator, and the
reports aent out by the secretary on prop
erties and mining districts have been con
scientiously correct, for part of the pur
pose of the aasoclatioa la to protect would
be Investors. The association has a very
large membership, and It come from every
district In the Hills, and Ita meetings are
not only entertaining socially, but are al
ways a source of Instruction, for It Is tb
practice at every meeting to have a paper
read by seme authority on mining.

from aixty to 160 ounces of silver and
about 66 per cent lead. L'ntll Mr. Murray

Mich Strike la Colombia.
ROCHFORD, 8. D., Oct. 12. (Special.)
A strike was made this week In the new
shaft which baa been started on the Co
lumbia's ground, one and a halt miles
from thla camp, which haa attracted con
alderable attention In this district, and
which promises to develop into aomethlng
good. For aeveral months the company
haa been prospecting Ita ground, undecided
where to sink its permanent working shaft
and to erect a hoist. It had been work
ing In aeveral place, and a week or ao
ago started thla new shaft on the vein
where It Is exposed on the surface, and
on Wednesday last it had reached a depth
of fourteen feet on the ledge when the
strike was made. A couple of ahota had
blown out a quantity of ore which on ex
amination was found to carry free gold,
aome of the specimens being rich. The
ore body where the And was made la ten
feet wide, and all of It prospects well In
the pan, while there la at lcaat three feet
of the vein which Is exceedingly rich. A
sample of the ore taken across the vein
has been assayed and the- returns give
$.'7.37 gold, .which Is exceedingly high for
a freemllllng proposition. The company
bas ordered an air compressor piani ana a
steam hoist, and when the machinery ar- 1
rives will erect It on the new shaft. Work I
will be continued here and by the time
the machinery Is in position the shaft will
probably be deep enough to require It The
company will employ power drills In Ita
mining operations at this point, so . the
progress in the shaft will be greater than
It Is at the present time. In the other
workings of the company the ore which
la taken from them prospects well, but
not so high aa at thla point," and while
work will continue in them, the moat at
tention will be given to thla shaft and
the rich find thoroughly developed. The
cdmpany In this vicinity owns 400 acrea of
mining land and another group of 210 acrea
adjoining the Cochran mine, which It la
also developing. ' At the present time a
force of ten men la employed by th com
pany, but this will be added to at once,
and Superintendent Rlcker 1 waa In Dead
wood Thursday for the purpose of engaging
miners. The company la a atrong one and
proposes to open up Its ground thoroughly.

Reuben and Cynthia, used to come out on
the stage and alng tq each 'other about the
topic of the time and about topics that
were of no particular time, but which offered
tho excuse of putting worda to mus'o. One
of them would sing a verse and then the
other would reply in like strain. One of
thcae verses by Cynthia waa aa follows:
Reuben, Reuben, I've been thlnkln'
What an awful thing 'twould be
If they took to burning diamonds
And sold coal for Jewelry.
This was Reuben's responae:
Cynthia. Cynthia. I've been thlnkln'
And I know you'll take my word
Not one-half the population
Ever d know it had occurred.
Ibis passed for merely nonsensical rhyme.
No one ever thought coal would be aold for
Jewelry, ' but that la what la being' dona
in Chicago these days. A man stood at
Adams and Dearborn street yesterday and
offered "genuine black ' diamond stickpins"
at 16 cent apiece. The "black diamonds"
were lumps of bard coal fastened to washed
gold pins. The sals' of theae Jewels was
brisk at tlmea and scores of men wore them
In their cravats. Cn tha display board the
man held before him was the sign:
"Hard Coal. $25 a Ton."
Along with the pins were aold badges
reading:
"We muat bust the trust or the trust will
bust us."
"The price of these pin wilt probably go
up In a few days," cried the street salesman.
"Buy now at reduced prices. We guarantee
these to be genuine anthrsclte. Come here
and get the real article before It la too
late."
Similar pins are alao to be seen In ahop

PENNSYLVANIA'S GOAL LINE CROSSED
Swarthmore Holila the Red aad Blae
Down nnd Scores, and Other Hl
Teams Have Their Hands
Fall.
With one of the vaunted Big Four teams
scored upon and narrowly mining defeat,
and with the other three winning by com
paratively small scores, th foot ball games
of Saturday seem to have developed Bime
astonishing conditions in that company at
least. In a hesvy rainstorm the team rep
resenting little Swarthmore college held
the University of Pennsylvania down to
score rf 11 to 6. the Quakers winning only
by one 'touchdown. This, too, was through
fifty minutes rf play, halves being made
twenty-five minutes long.
This lack of scoring ability on the part
of the Red and Blue Is surprising, far more
so than the same quality as exhibited by
the remainder of the quartet. Yale only
did Brown 10 to 0, but from all reports the
Bluea were up against a powerful team, one
that Is likely to be heard from later. Then
Princeton defeated Annapolis only 11 to 0,
which Is not flattering work, though still
a credit ao long aa the Tiger goal was un
aesalled. Harvard scored heavier than any,
with 22 to 0 against the University fit
Maine, but It must be remembered thit the
Crimson was playing a team that either
Brown, Annapolis or Swarthmore wculi de
feat, the first two very easily.
On the whole the real Interest In the
east as far as Saturday's game were con
cerned Is found outside of the four lead
ers. The showings of Columbia, Cornell
and little Georgetown university are the
surprises. One week ago the Georgetown
team defeated the Annapolis middles 4 to
0. scoring two safeties. This was a great
LUrprlse, as Georgetown had never won from
the sailors before. This week Georgetown
wins again, beating St. John's college 18
to 0. That was, of course, rather expected,
but meanwhile on the same day the Tigers
win from Annapolis only 11 to 0.
Cornell presents a eort of anomaly. The
Ithacans had for opponents the Williams
college eleven. Two weeks ago Harvard
defeated Williams only 11 to 0 in the first
Crimson game of the season. Cornell was
anxious to surpass this showing and
did so in a . way. Cornell . rolled
I up thirty-seven points, but then let WII-
lami icore ,,x Thls a CorneU WM
6ae to accent, but the score remains
to mar the victory. That thirty-seven was
Just about twice what the most sanguine
Ithacans expected to make, and it look, hi
beside Harvard's eleven.
At New York city Columbia university
found Its first hard gamo of the season
with the University of Buffalo men, win
ning 6 to 0. This Is revenge by a close mar
gin for last year'e defeat, when Columhla
waa weak and Buffalo very strong. The
Columbians figure prominently In a llffle
material for dope wcrk, the facts being:
jOn September 26 the Quakers beat Lehigh
only 12 to 0. Yesterday Lehigh beat Rut
gera 34 to 0. On October 4 Princeton beat
Lehigh 21 to 0. The aame day Columbia
beat Rutgrrs 43 to 0. Does this schedule,
tnen, clasa Columbia down with Lehigh?
In the Big Nine Michigan and Wisconsin
continue to run up fhe biggest scores, with
the University of Illinois coming In a close
second, and far ahead of the remainder of
the clan, as was predicted. The Oophers
meanwhile only plied up twenty-nine points
against Belolt; which was hardly what was
expected ef them. Belolt la a email school
and last season Michigan made eighty-nine
against It and Wisconsin forty much earlier
la the schedule..
The wins of the Wolverines from Indiana
and the Badgers from Lawrence are ao big
as to be almost unmentionable aa foot ball
contest. Nor has either team anything
threatening scheduled up till their own
meeting on November 1 in Chicago, the
big game of the season. Each school haa
been playing for this one game ever since
It was agreed upon a year ago, and It la
amusing to ae how careful Wisconsin was
and ' Michigan also, not to sign a single
heavy game before then, the Badgers even
cutting Nebraska out of a contest on that
account, though ostensibly for other rea
sons. Nebraska'a victory over Grlnnell did not
bring out a large enough score to be sat
isfying. Drake beat Grlnnell a week ago,
11 to 0, and Nebraska should have done
twice aa much at least. However, the goal
line I still Intact, and that speaks .well
for defense.
Of the 'same class was Iowa's win over
Drake. With the latter team playing ad
mittedly ' "bum" foot ball, being alow and
out, pf form, the Iowans should have rolled
up more tallies than a dozen. In view of
these, two games It will be interesting to
see ho w.Kansas snd Drake will fare next
Saturday. That game will offer the first
line of the season on Coach Curtis' team,
which he will take north against the
Badger, of hla alma mater a, week- later,
and which playa Nebraska at Lincoln on
November 8.
Missouri's showing against little Simp
son college doe not speak well for the
Columbia boy. A score of 11 to 8 1 no
compliment to the Tiger of the west, and
that they let Simpson score Is still stronger
criticism. A they stand today, Nebraska
has plainly a far better team than Mis
souri, and la probably superior to Kansas.
IOWA GETTING GOOD PRACTICE
Game with Drake Serves to Correct
Some of It Serious
Faalts.
IOWA CITY, la., Oct. 12. (Special.) The
close of the second week of the Iowa foot
ball season with the total scores of the
'varsity 76 to a Is most satisfactory to the
Iowa coaches and management. The game
with Simpson college on Iowa field next
Saturday wilt furnlah the practice desired
lor the third werk without injuring the
players too raucn for appearance on the day
or tne nrat iia contest ot the season a
week from Saturday. The plays which are
to be used against Minnesota on Iowa held
October 2o will be largely under control
by the team by the end of this week. Four
new plays for the gume with the Gophers
were tried In practice the lattnr part of
last week until they were reduced to a
smoothness satisfactory to loach Knloe.
The Drake name Saturday furnlehed the
kind of practice which the Iowa team
needed. The tackles this year have not
had the practice which they Hhould have
hail and the strengtn or tne I'raKe team
being largely In its tackles, the instruc
tion gained from the contest will bo far
toward making these two positions
stronger and able to stand against Minne
sota. The halfbacks were given a training
Saturday which showed Its benefit beforH
the done of the game. The Iowa backs
have been tackling high this year. Thla la
due partly to Injnrlt to their ahoulders
which have made them wary of attempting
the correct low tackle when they seemed
able to down the runner by an eaxler
method. Drake, however, has some fast
halfbacka, who eluded the Iowa barks
with their high tackks In the tlret part of
the came. Before the end ol the first half
the liawkeye barka had learned their les
son and- were tackling as they should. An
other weeknea (if the Iowa team was Its
slowness In charging when on the defen
sive. Ihls was particularly true of the
tackles. Th'a gave the Drake backa an
opportunity to get paat them and threw
upon the ends ao mu h labor that the ends
rebelled quite stoutly In one of the many
pauses of the game. The tackles changed
their charging and stopited th runs which
had bothered tne Hawkeyea and afforded
the Drake men two tries at a field goal
from the Iowa twenty-yard line.
Th failure ol th lua team' U run ua
a larger score Saturday waa Isrgely due
to the exasperating and unusual way In
which Drake played the same. Stopping
after every down to get breath and long,
wordy contests with the referee were new
things to the Iowa players. Much of the
Iowa game la Ita swiithesa of attack and
It was Imposslhle to attack swiftly when
the opponents laid ilnwn after every lown.
Two eara ago Drake attempted thla sort
of play, but It was stopped at once by Ref
eree Ralph iloagland. Cmpire Burkland
did all he rmild Saturday to atop it by
yelling "Play ball!" until his throat was
iiuarsc. but he did not avail with the ref
eree. Mr. Btlpp was tsken as an official
on verv short notlre, it being thought un
til . midnight Friday, owing to nondelivery
of a telegram, that Paul Haynen-of Chicago
could be obtained for reJcree.

WALL STREET PAYS PENALTY
Exeeaelve Speculation. Leads to Liqui
dation Which I Coatlr to
Speenlatora.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12. (Special.) Henry
Clews' weekly Wall street letter says:
Wall etreet Is paying the penalty for ex
cesaes ot the last twelve months. Forced
liquidation Upon a very extensive scale has
been going on for several weeks, particu
larly in stocks which had been advanced
by several well known wealthy cliques
whose activities had irequently been a sub
ject of wonder and criticism. Apparently
thee gentlemen had not aulflclenily pro
tected themselves against the fall mone
tary stringency. Call money was sharply
withdrawn, and as time loans matured
they could not be renewed upon the old
terms or upon the old collateral. Bankers
found good and more legitimate employ
ment for their tunds in the usual crop and
trade demands, and . resolutely set them
selves in opposition to continued fostering
of reckless speculation. At last New York
banks found it to their common Interest
to put a check upon the plunging opera
tions which have recently characterised
the transactions of certain cliques; and this
they have done none too soon, in a manner
and with an efficiency that deserves the
thanks of the entire financial and business
community. New York bankers with their
vast control of credit have a power of re
straint upon speculative excesses which no
ether bQdj' of m?n p??e""j end their
hreailth nt view amiarentlv convinced them
that their own. interests are best conserved
by unitedly acting for public welfare. Had
it not been or the conservative attitude
of the banks, stimulated of course by awk
ward monetary conditions and a sense of
self-preservation, we should no doubt have
run Into a whin ot craiy speculation which
would have ended In premature panic and
disaster. As it Is, present liquidation will
clear the financial atmosphere, and unpleas
ant consequences, if such occur, will be
confined to Wail etreet instead ot spreading
into tbe channel ef trade and industry.
i Outlook Not Settled.
The money outlook is by no means set
tled. Much relief has been fTorded by the
heavy liquidation In-atocka, but the tension
s likely to last with greater or less, degre
until the end of this year. Europe has dis
appointed us In not sending gold to build
up our depleted bank reserve. Apparently
foreign banners are of opinion that they
have made ample advances to American
borrowers, and that a further extension of
credit in this . direction 1b undesirable in
view of the speculative temper here. Paris,
Berlin and London all of which were in a
pobltion to spare a few millions sterling for
the United States, 'have changed their at
titude towards this' market and raised the
terme on which we could tmport more gold
to prohibitive points A f-'w millions have
lust arrived, or nre .'jou' due, but this will
oe qui'.o insufficient to afford any substan
tial relief. Even the treasury, alter ex
haunting almost every resource. Is unable
to give the dealred asslatance. A forced
tontrrctlon in loans Is the only remedy,
painful ua it may be, for depleted bank re-

Railroad Earnings Iaereaae.
Railroad earnings' continue to show re
markable gains; partly a result of heavy
westbound traffic, which usually commands
high freight rates. Net earnings, however,

in wages all maKing neavy mruuua mm

depressing factor in the market, not so
much for Its effect upon the coal shares
hi for the lmi,ortant question Involved.
'Ihe threatening attitude ot labor and the
sharpening of issues between monopolies of
capital and monopolies of labor are likely
to have a seriously deterrent effect upon all

issues Into the coming election and the In

The poUIn of the market as a whole has
unquestionable been greatly improved by
the liquidation of the last few weeks. The
tent his shown that there are no weak
etiots of Importance, and an effective check
has been put upon undeBlrable speculative
movement. The present, however is not
faxorable to the Wing, of toc The
scarcity Of time money as we as call
m"eyyu a warning. There is s til la prob
ability of further squeexes in the money
market and sharp raids upon weakly held
stocks. A great change in existing condi
tions must come If we are to have a genu
ine bull market during the present year.
Sharp upward reactions are not at all un
likely, but ttocks will probably be a good
sale at such times for several weeks to
"me even if the decline, which reaches
ab ut 14JH points, should not be extended,
liullisb enthUBlaum has been much chilled,
and a period of rest will be m pessary for
recuperation, even under favorable circum
stances. -

CATTLE There were a few cattle here
todav. but most of them were not orrerea
for sale, so that a test of the market was
not made. For the week receipts have
been lairiy iioerai, but a compared wltn
last week there Is quite a decrease. As
compared with the corresponding, week of
last year there is a big Increase, which
makes the Increase for the year to date
over 125,000 head.
There have beet very few cornfed steers
on the market this week, but it is safe
to call the better grades fully steady as
compared with the close of last week. Tho
common and warmed-up cattle have sold
rather unevenly, as packers seem to prefer
the westerns to that class ot cornreds. Tne
market, though, on the common kinds,
could not be quoted much of any lower.
The cow market has been In pretty good
shape most all the week. On Monday and
Tuesday there was a sharp aovance. but
since that time a little of the advance has
been lost. The week, though, shows an
advance of fully 25c, and on the choicer
grades Sales have been made that looked
fully 35c higher. There has boen a good,
active market all the week 'and prices are
nearly back to where they were two weeks
ago.
Bulls, veal calves and stags have also sold
fully as well as they did last week. The
common kinds have been neglected, but
desirable grades have sold at satisfactory
prices.
The week opened with stockers and feed
ers active, and by Tuesday an advance ot
15y25c had taken place. That, however,
proved to be the high day of the week, as
since that time the demand from the coun
try has not been up to expectations. The
good cattle are probably about steady with
the close of last week, out the common
to medium grades are unevenly lower. It
haa been even harder this week than last
to dispose of the cattle lacking quality, and
a good many sales late this week were
made that looked 16c, and In extreme cases
25c, lower than the same kinds sold for last
week. ,
Western beef steers of good quality have
been In active demand all the week, and
aa the supply has been limited, prices havo
improved 15c to 20c, and In extreme cases a
quarter. Commoner grades have not shown
that mucn aovance, nut sun even tnoie
I sre higher than they were a week ago.
sre higher than uiey were a weea ago.
Western cows are also 2636c higher for
the week, the greatest advance having
taken olace on the better grades. Stockers
I ll'a.larn on m'N are Hi HA 12,31.
and feeders advanced ImiZSc the first of
the week, but all that gain nas been lost
and more. too. The atrictly good rattle
are not much lower than last week, but the
common kinds are fully 15c lower, and In
some case 25c lower. Representative sales:

HOGS There was only a small run of
hogs In sight sttts morning, but in spite
of that fact the tendency of prices con
tinued downward. At this point the break
amounted to nearly a dime. The bulk of
the sale went from $0 sw to J..00 and as
high as f7.07Mi was paid. There waa no
particular cnange in tne margei irom start
o flnlah and. as the ofTerlnga were light.
practically everything was disposed of in
good season.
The supply of hogs for the week is not
much different from last week, but aa com
pared with the corresponding period of
last year there 1 another decrease. For
the year to date the falling off amounts
to about 27.000 head. The tendency of
prices has been decidedly downward ever
since Monday and as compared with the
close of last week the market la S&frtOc
lower. This decline carries the market to
the lowest point reached since August.

SHEEP Thi ha been an eventful week
In the cheep market, a on Monday the
largest number of head arrived since the
)ards were opened, and the supply for
the week has alao broken all previous rec
ords. As will be seen from the table above
over lou.000 have arrived this week, while
the previous high mark was 86.K21, which
arrived during the week ending October 21,
1901. In aptte of this enormous run the
market on good stuff- hss held up in very
satisfactory manner, which 1 taken as uti
indication of the liberal demand at this
point.
There were no fresh arrivals ef sheep
and lamb today, so that a tent of the
market was not msde. As compared with
the close uf last week th market on fat
sheep and lamb ot dealrable quality ia
steady to strong and active. The eupply
haa been none too great to meet the de
mand, but. on the contrary, packers could
not get enough a good share of tne week
to fill their orders, as the bulk of the
receipt were feeders. The common kinds
of killers were not very active, but still
they are also steady for the wet-ic.
The big end of tne receipt ail U week
ennolrted of feeder and the quality was
far from being choice. The strictly good
to choice fe"der wethers and yearling and
alao choice la-nba showed very little chsngo
rrom the close or last weK. The common
klrds. 'hough, are all the way from lfe to
?.ic lower. Receipt ato Included a good
many light- lambs of rather common tjuallty
and also a great many old ewea. for which
the demand was very small, ann as a re-
etilt trade on that class of stuff wa ex
tremely dull and prices broke In bad ehap..
The decline for the week emointe to 2.Sta.xe

LONDON, Oct. 12. The rate of discount,
which responded only feebly when the
Bank of England rate was advanced, have
-I - .4,1.. .n , U- 41 ... rtAn,
three months' bills. The weakness ap
pears to be due to lessening apprehension
of unfavorable developments in New York
and the accumulation of funds In the hands
of bankers and brokers. The market,
which supplied Itself liberally from the
Bank of England lust before the advance
of the official minimum, has still plenty
of money at It disposal. In the meantime
the bank is not in a position to control
market rates, and borrowers are getting
what short loans they require at 24 per
cent, or less than the ratea paid for money
on deposit.
The Investors' Review deplores the fact
that London discount and credit rates are
so low when danger of an acute kind still
exist In New York, and when gold is In
such strong demand elsewhere. The Review
warns the market that London's reserve
Is dally losing more or less In the exporta
tion of sovereigns to South America, Egypt
snd elsewhere, and adds: "Nobody seems
to lead In theae shipments, but they may
give us a painful surprise."
The tone of the Stock exchange Improved
during the last week, owing largely to the
opportunities afforded by Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw for American banks to In
crease their fscilitles of lending and dis
counting American stocks here are regu
larly tending upward, but there is no Im
mediate prospect of a boom in any quar
ter. The attitude of the public continue
to be nonspeeulatlve, end there Is no par
ticular disposition to Invest In stocks. In
vestors generally are waiting to see what
will next happen In New York. The fact
that the New York associated banks are
not availing themselves of Secretary Shaw'
proffered facilities caused surprised com
ment here. It is considered doubtful
whether the gold now reschlng the United
States will ease the situation sufficiently
to make speculation safe.
BERLIN, Oct. 12. The bourse last week
was again much under American Influ
ence and New York report were watchM
with very great interest. Nevertheless, the
Incident at Montreal and forced liquida
tion on Wall street did not markedly affect
quotations here, the return of chesp money
rates, together with other ractors, having
given a certain firmness to values.
Manchester Textile.
MANCHESTER, Oct. 12. While there wa
no particular change on the cloth market
generally last week, business was exceed
ingly difficult to negotiate. There was a
rather more hopeful feeling, especially In
the Indian section. There was fair In
quiry with occasional unremureratlve
transactions. An Increasing number of looms
are Idle at Blackburn. The China Inquiry
was dormant. 'There were moderate en
gagements in the market extending Into
January. Miscellaneous South American
and Levant Inquiries were at hand.- Yarns
were fairly steady and quiet. The de
mand for the turnover of American cot
tons, twists and weft waa not laj-ge.
Shipper appear tq have attsn.ed their im
mediate wants. .
