WASHINGTON, March IS. It la an

plaint filed with the president by T. C.
Campbell of Cincinnati, an attorney repre
senting several of the turf concerns whoee

ness from performing the duties of his
office, and It la said his resignation will be
requested solely on that account. Mr. Ty
nor la 77 years of age, and suffered a stroke
of paralysis last July, and In December
had a relapse.
He denounces as absurd and ridiculous
the charges that there was wrongdoing
.In connection with decisions by his office
respecting the right of turf Investment
companies to use the malls. The matter,
he said, was taken up in the report of an
Inspector and disposed of as hundreds of
other case are. No evidence was submit
ted with the Inspector's reports, showing
that the firms were either lotteries or
frauds, and under the law the department
bad no right to Interfere.
Tyner Mnkcs Admissions.
Mr. Tyner admitted yesterday that Har
rison J. Barrett, bis nephew by marriage
and formerly his assistant In the law dl
vIhIoh In the PostofTice department, against
whom charges had been flled, had replied
as an attorney for one of the turf invest
ment concerns, but said It was after Bar
rett had severed his connection with the
department. Barrett hud rendered legal
services to a number of the "Bond In
vestment companies" aa to the legullty of
which he had written an official opinion
while still In the PostofTice detriment.
ThlL service also was rendered after Bar
rett had left the. department.
The opinion prepared by Bnrrett declared
that the bond concerns as organized were
In violation of law and not entitled to mail
privileges, but to the opinion waa attached
an appendix stating that by certain changes
In their bylaws and In toe wording of their
literature they could be admitted to the
uae of the mails.
The appendix. Mr. Tynor said, was not
written by Barrett, but by Postmaster Gen
eral Smith.
The department hud official knowledge
of more than 500 of these concerns, and the
capital Involved waa estimated at $.'0,000,
)00. It was the opinion of Mr. Smith and
other officials of the department that the
business should not be crushed out if It
could be made legal, and such an eminent
lawyer aa John G. Carlisle had appeared
before the department on behalf of the
sonwms. ,

YOUNG IS A GOOD SALESMAN
ells II Quantity of furniture, but
There Is Trouhle Over
T.lle.
H. C. Young, alias Frajk Culver, also
using the name M Wilson, who was ar
rested In Sioux City Saturday on Informa
tion from the Omaha department, was
brought to thla city last night by Detective
Donahoe. He was booked as a suspicious
rharscter last night, but will probably be
tried for obtaining money under false pre
tenses. Young is said to have sold the fur
niture In a house at 70S South Eighteenth
street, of which he was not the owner.
The house, which has been used aa a room
ing establishment, has been the cause of
considerable litigation. Young, it la said,
knew the conditions surrounding the prop
erty and by way of turning It to his own
advantage Inserted an advertisement In the
papers offering the furniture for sa. He
used the name Wilson and asked purchasers
to call at the Thurston hotel, where he
was lodging. His advertisement was an
swered by a not too worldly wise woman,
who needed some furniture and scented a
bargain. Young took her to the bouse, it
Is said, and showing her the goods, took
her Into a room which was occupied, by an
old woman who was deaf. Sitting there he
gave the Intending purchaser hla Idea of
a Just purchase price and threw In a few
anecdotes as to where and when he ac
quired the various articles. The woman
who could not har, smiled politely at all
thla and of course did not deny any of hla
statements. The purchaaer was pleased
and, ao she later Informed Chief Donahue,
paid $150, with the balance to come with
the possession of the furi.lt ure. The day
following the deal she visited the house to
examine her property, and waa told its true
ownership by another roomer. Young dis
appeared after the deal, but was located In
Sioux City.

I.lnr.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 15. Paul Mor
ton, vice president of the Santa Fe, who
arrived from Santa Barbara yesterday,
speaking of the recent purchase by the
Santa Fe of the Eureka Eel River road
and Its extensions in Humboldt county,
said:
The company has bought those roads with
a view ot using them as a nucleus for a
coast line at some future date. It is no
true, however, that the Santa Fe has pur.
chased the California Northwester.! road.
There will be a time, and It Is not far off,
when the 8anta Fe Will And it necessary tj
extend its lines to the north to meet the
requirements of business. There Is a grant
lot of timber In that particular section of
California, and there is a great demand for
the material at the eastern end of our
road, consequently we have good- reasons
for availing ourselves of the supply and
meet'ng the demand.
Mr. Morton admitted that a syndicate had
made the purchare for the company and han.
been acquiring large timber tracts on the
coast side of California. Among those in
the syndicate are Mr. Cheney, one of the
directora of the road, and several close
friends of tne Santa Fe company.
Asked if trire were any orospeots of the
Santa Fo entering Sacrament j and "ti
Jcse In the U'.ar future Mi-. Morton nne
worec'; Well, I cannot say as to the nea- futtiie,
but I am eatistied that we will eventually
connect with those clfes. At present, how
ever, we are using all our money for new
rolling stock. Business demands it.

WEST IS USING THE MONEY

PANAMA PAYMENT NO CAUSE F0RW0RR Y
hrlnkaire In Price of I.eadln Rail
roads from Top Klgeres of lOOil
Amounts to from Twenty
to Thirty Points.
NEW YORK, liarrh 15. (Special.)
Henry Clewe in his weekly msrket letter
rays:
Monetary conditions nave at last had
their effect upon the stock market, and the
situation is now working out Its own cure
ty natural and effective means. Liquida
tion has been severe, and In eome cases in
tensified by ptrsonal differences; but the
declines were chleflv due to exhaustion of
money supplies through the locking up of
large sums In financial operations, which
would receive scant consideration if pre
sented now in their original form. Although
the situation has been greatly Improved bv
the heroic treatment of the asl few
months, and the credit situation Is much
stronger thi..i a year ago. It would be pre
mature to assume that the turn has come,
lt Is practically certain there will be no re
lief for the money market until the fundi
required for April settlements find their
way back again to the banks, and this is a
matter of several weeks. The west Is
rapidly gaining In Its power over the
money market, and this yeir Its regular ra
nulrements are unusualiv heavy owing to
Jhe large volume of buelriese. A great land
speculation Is In progress In the west and
very large numbers of settlers have taken
up new properties on which large pay
ments must be made on April 1 according ti
custom. It l quite possible, therefore,
that the return movement of currency may
be not only bsokward. but 'mailer than
itHunl. thus preventing low rates of inter
est here for some Uttla time ahead.
Ho Cause for Worry.
A good deal of urinecssnry concern has
been excited by the prospective payment of
Ho.oOO.uoo to France for the Panama canal,
in all probability that payment ill not be
made before midsummer, and the full
amount. Including the 110.000.000 to Colom-
ihin. will most likely be pnid out of the
treasury witnout touching tne government
deposits held by the banks. The treasury
n w holds 71,000,0ii0 In addition to the
amount deposited in hanks, and judging by
the heavy customs receipts, which promls'j
to continue, that sum will be very consider
ably augmented before the canal payment
becomes due. This transaction when com
pleted will, - therefore, contribute to eice
rnther than make stringency In the money
market. While In the treasury this IlO.OyO.
lioo or tso.oou.ooo will bo unavailable, when
released it will probably go to the Paris
banks and there eventually reach the
money market, or If Interest rates -were
high the owners might find It more profit
able to temporarily use the funds In this
market. In any case the transaction is
likely to make little or no disturbance In
this market, and the exchange required
will probably bo provided well In advance.
Such operations are always discounted bv
ehrewd bankers, who for the small profit In
such operations act as Invaluable balance
wheels against extreme movements. The
only unpleasant feature In this connection
Is the steady absorption of funds by the
treasury through customs receipts; but
thk movement Is In no sense due to the
canal payment. Some Improvement in the
monetary Nltuatlon ought to take place
after the middle of April, yet loanable
funds are likely to continue more or less
scarce throughout the month of April at
least, besides. the requirements for
strengthening trust company reserves must
not be overlooked. Credit Is In better shapa
than for many months, though we are by
no means out of danger in this respect.
Shrinkages In Stocks.
Prices of securities are now considerably
below the high level of 1902. In many caej
the shrinkage has been very striking. He.e
are a few comparisons in the leading
stocks for 1902 and 1903: '

Blight recoveries have taken place since
the above low prices were recorded, but It
is evident that ths leading railroad shares
have declined between 20 and 30 points alnce
the top last year. . The Industrials, In many
instances, hava made more serious declines,
but these are less satisfactory indicators
than the more substantial railroad proper
ties. In the face of such heavy liquidation
It would seem hazardous to calculate upon
much lower prices, so long aa business con
tinues at Its present volume. Production
in all lines of Industry Is steadily increas
ing, and thus far has not caught up with
consumption; the only cerlous menace to
continued activity being the probability of
renewed labor agitation during the coming
spring. Many of the large operators are
still absent from the city, and no Import
ant developments In financial circles are
expected until their return. A conservative
feeling Is prevalent among bankers, and In
Fome quarters there Is a belief that further
liquidation ie needed to bring the market
Into a really healthy condition. Such dif
ferences of opinion favor activity In stocks
and sharp fluctuations. On the recent de
clines there was excellent Investment buy
ing of good securities at bottom figures,
which promises well for the future; but the
rallies which followed were due more to
short covering than to purchases on the
long side. There are still too many uncer
tainties to warrant a sudden revival of
confidence to justify any enthusiastic at
tempt to create a buoyant bull market at
the present time. But hereafter lt will be
an excellent tracMnr; market to buy on the
raids for quick turns.
Forelarn Financial. .
LONDON. March 15-The stock market
opened with an uncomfortable feeling last
week and prices ccntlnued irregular until
the close yesterday, when there were some
evidences of strengthening. Wall street
held the center of the stage and reports re
garding the financial situation there caused
apprehension and a rush to realise, but
the later reassuring reports brought a re
turn of confidence and ' prices recovered
slightly, although almost all the American
lints showed a decline. Thla flurry affected
the whole market and attested to the ex
tent of Wall street's Influence on the stock
market here. One of the features of the
week was the fact that the consols re
ceded to a lower point than they had
reached since 1870. This fall was due
mainly to the continued lightness of money
and the apruuchlng reduction In their in
terest. There was not much doing In other
directions, Investors playing a WHlting
game. Mexicans and Central and South
Americans showed a decided Improvement
and South Africans were also regarded
more favorably. Copper shares aroused a
short-lived interest because of the advance
In the price of the metal, but the later de
cline In the price sent tlntos back sharply.
BERLIN. March 15. All the weekly finan
cial reviews point out the intense Interest
of the bourse here last week in the finan
cial, situation In New York. The otilnion
apparently predominates that conditions on
Wall street have become more favorable, at
least German apprehensions were less pro
nounced. New York did not appear as a
borrower In Berlin last week, but the New
York and London markets continue to nf
fect the German money rates, private dis
count rltdng on the week. Nevertheless
there were scarcely any decrease in ihe
abundance of th money. The rates of for
tign exchange varied but Slightly, the ex
change on most European centerj being
fractionally lower and on New Yo-k a
trltle higher than a week ago. The stock
market continued rather firm, with a light
vc.ume of transactions. Wall street did not
ser.oufly affect the trading, except In caus
ing considerable selling. Canaatina and
dorrestlc 2h developed a good demand. Other
denominations were neglected. Foreign
rentes attracted less attention. Industrials
manifested considerable activity, the quo
tation, being generally upward. Irons and
coalers were particularly strong upon thi
favorable market reports. The Koe nlKche
Zeltung states that the Amerlran d mand
for Iron has developed surprls ngly duilng
the last fortnight. A considerate number
of American contracts were taken during
the last few days for the September qjar
ter. The coal trade shows an improvement
In demand and Pans has begun to buy coa!
shares hers. Ocean transportations de

CATTL.E There were a few bunches of
tattle in the yards this morning, but still
not enough with which to make a test of
the market. For the week supplies have
been fairly liberal, as there Is a slight
gain over the corresponding week of last
year, but as -compared with last week
there is a Slight falling off.
The beef steer market this week has been
rather uneven. On Monday and Tuesday
the tendency of prices was downward, but
oir Wednesday and Thursday prices ad
vanced, while on Friday the market was
rather weak again. As compared with the
close of last week, however, there Is not
much change in prices. Medium and handy
weight cattle have been selling to the best
advantage, and the decline yesterday was
mostly on the good heavy cattle. The bulk
of the fair to good cattle is now Belling
from ttjyO to $4.50, good to choice f4.&04.85,
and strictly prime from t4.86 to X626.
The cow market has also fluctuated back
and forth to some extent, but still the
changes from day to day have not been
quite a great as was the case with steers.
Trading was fairly active on most days and
the prices paid yesterday were very much
the came as those In force at the close of
Inst week, fanners are selling largely
from t2.00 to f2.75, .fair to good cows from
S2.90 to f3.&0. tnd good to choice from 13.50
to t4.25.
Bulls have sold to better advantage thla
week than last, and prices are. If anything,
a' little higher. As high as fi.OO haa been
paid for good fat bulls. Veal calves are
also a little higher, as 16.25 was the top
last week, while $6.60 is the best price this
week.
The demand for stoekers and feeders haa
been brisk all the week and in excess of
the supply. As a result trading was active
every day and" the tendency of prices up
ward. The better grades are fully 1015o
higher than a week ago. and in extreme
cases the advance looks even greater than
that. Choice feeders may be quoted from
f4.25 to f4.60. fair to good from t3.75 to 14.25,
and the common grades from f3.00 to f3.75.
HOGS There was just a fair run of hogs
here this morning and the market opened
generally a nickel higher than- yesterday.
Trading, though, was not very active, and
as the morning advanced the market
seemed toWeaken and the close was alow,
with prices a shade lower than the open
ing. Good heavy Jiogs sold largely from
t7.30 to f7.35, with prime heavies going -as
high as $7.45; medium weight hogs eold from
$7.25 to 37.30, and the light, hogs from $7.25
down. i
This has been the high week of the year
In the hog market, and in fact, prices have
reached the highest point since last Octo
ber. Wednesday, though, was the high day
of the week when the average price was
a fraction better than f7.29. The net gain
for the week, however amounts to 10415c 1
The receipts still show a decrease as com- I
pared with the corresponding period of last
year and the net loss for the year to date
at this point amounts to over 92.000 hogs.
SHEEP There were a few care of sheep
In the yards this morning, but they were
consigned direct to local packera and not
offered on the market. For the. week Re
ceipts have been rather light, as there Im a
decrease both as compared with. last week
and with the coirebpondlng week of last
year. This is the first time that there has
been a falling off In receipts as compared
with last year in some time past, aa the
Increase tn receipts for the year to date
amounts to about 95.000 head.
The demand for good stuff haa been ac
tive all the week and prices on sneep are
a little higher. Ewes have showed the
most Improvement and In fact have sold
ut the highest prices of tha Beason, the
top price for the week being f5.26. Good
wethers and yearlings are also a little
stronger and the advance may be put at
Iii41."ic, and In extreme casee sales have
looked even better than that, aome sales
men quoting the advance 25c.
The lamb market, however, is not much
different from what lt was a week ago.
Good lambs, though, have been very scarce
and In fact there have been scarcely any
prime lambs here In several idays.
The demand for feeders has kept up In
very satlHfactorv manner and. all desirable
grades have met with ready Wle at good,
steady prices.
