TOO MUCH HEAD.
WORLDS FAIR MATTERS AT A
PRACTICAL STANDSTILL,
The Different Authorities Still wrangling
About Sites-The Same Ground Gone
Over and Over Again.

CHICAGO, Nov. II. The congressional
committee to investigate the worlds fail
management met again this morning
Director-General Davis was in attend
ance, and gave full and comprehensive
statements with reference to the site
question and the con templated bureaus
for the various departments of the fair,
and considered any proposition to estab-
lish foreign bureaus at the expense OF
the government to be against the spirit
of the law. In his opinion there should
be one recognized head of the fair to the
exclusion of the standing committees.
President Baker, of the Chicago board
of trade and member of the local
board OF directors OF the fair, talked at
some length. He favored placing the
fair in Jackson Park, and agreed with
Director-general Davis that the multi
plicity of executive heads to the fair
was injurious.
Baker wound UP by saying that he be-
lieved the national commission had him
dered,. rather than helped the work.
AT the meeting of the executive COM
iiiItCC VI Cllo HdtlOIIdl COIuIulSSlOU, To-
day, President Palmer presented resolu-
tions adopted Saturday by the Illinois
state board of agriculture, protesting
vigorously against the proposition of the
local board to place number of build
ings on the lake front, and calling on
the national commission in it's super
visor capacity to prevent it.
:. At joint conference this evening be-
tween representatives of the local direc-
tory. the national commission and the
congressional committee, Commissioner
Martindale suggested that the South
park commissioners be requested to per-
NIT the unrestricted use of Washington
park: A representative of the local
board, however, read report favoring
Jackson park and the lake front las
against Washington park for the main
site. There was considerable discus
sion, but Martindale's motion was
adopted.
Tonight, nevertheless, the local di-
rectory held a meeting, and resolved to
recommend placing on the lake front all
the buildings which they moved last
week to place there, excepting the gov
ernment building. This recommends
tion will 60 before the national commits
sion tomorrow.

the bank was in the possession of the
bank to meet the demands of depositors,
the bank should not be allowed to clear
through the clearinghouse. Preston
said from closer examination of the
collaterals held by the bank as security
for loans, he had found that there would
be shrinkage in their actual value.
This, he believed, would make a nomi-
nal deficiency of about $4,000.

1t was rumored on the street this

from the clearing house. The officers of
the bank would not talk on the subject,
and President Lappan of the clearing
house would not deny or affirm the
rumor. 1t was said by several brokers
that the Manhattan bank was in a per-
fectly sound condition and that the bor-
rowed million was for the use ol
several of the banks customers who are
believed to have given gilt-edged securi-

THE REVENUE MARINE.
What the Service Has Done in the Past
Year, Etc.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Captain Shep-
pard. the chief of the revenue marine
division, reports that during the last
fiscal year the thirty-six vessels in COM
mission traversed 2SS. .112 nautical miles,
and boarded and examined %, I61 ves-
sells. OF which 915 incurred fines and
penalties, amounting to 1896, ,616. Eighty
distressed vessels were assisted, the val
ue OF which, with cargoes, was 81, 500, 900.
Forty-three persons were rescued from
drowning, and 81 assisted in other
ways. The expenditures were 1887 ,033.
The report says several new vessels
are required for the proper maintenance
of the service. Rapidly increasing COM
merce at the ports of Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago and San Fran
cisco, demand that new steamers of mod
crate cost be furnished at each of these
ports within the next two years, to re-
place vessels nearly worn out and not
suitable for service. The greatly in
creased work required on the Pacific
coast makes another vessel for duty on
that station absolutely necessary.

The Stock Market Recovering
Its Equilibrium.
An Advance in Values All
Along the Line.
A Steady Improvement on a Sound
Basis Looked for.
The Barings Declare That Their Position
Is Sound, but the European
Bourses Remain Weak.
Associated Press Dispatches.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE stock mar
ket today, after having time to recover
from the scare of Saturday, was much
less active than for any day in the past
two weeks, and the evident return of
confidence caused slow but material
advance in values all along the line, not
withstanding the fact that there was
great irregularity and feverishness
throughout the entire day.
There were two more failures an
nounced, both due to shrinkage in val
ues, but they had but a slight effect.
Today's developments show conclu-
siyely that the market for long time
has been largely oversold, and bids and
ostensible purchases were made 10y
bears, when number of stocks called
for could not be obtained in the market
The general opinion seems to be that it
is now only question with investors of
getting stocks at the present prices, as
the feeling of insecurity has almost sub
sided, and steady improvement may
now be looked for on sound basis.
The Barings' Position Sound.
A special from London says the Bar
ings declare that their financial position
is sound now, as the banks have guaran-
teed three years support. The firm will
realize G4,000,000 surplus. They now
hold eS,000.000 OF the best commercial
paper in the world. Their total liability
is Ell 100000. 1t is conceded that
while they were embarrassed by the
steady depression in Argentines, to a
considerable extent, the principal and
precipitating cause of their trouble was
Russia's withdrawal of G5,000,000 from
the firms accounts.
Matters Arranged Satisfactorily.
Boston, Nov. 17.-Kidder, Peabody &
Co. are in receipt of cablegram from
Barring Bros., stating that all matters
are arranged satisfactorily and perma-
nently, and authorizing Kidder, Peabody
& Co. to proceed with business as usual.
The Boston clearing house committee
voted unanimously this morning to is
sue clearinghouse certificates. the rate
of interest on the certificates to be 7 $40
per cent. Security must be put up by
any bank asking for certificates, III the
ratio of 800 for each $75 advanced. No
certificates will be asked for today. The
amount will not be limited.

dence In Fully Restored.
New York, Nov. 17.-High London
quotations and buying of stocks by Lon
don houses, caused a partial return OF
confidence in the stock market. This
was increased by the understanding that
Jay Gould, d. 0. Mills, the Vanderbilts
and other important interests would
join hands in giving support to prices.
1t was also stated that large pool in
which Gould was interested, had been a
heavy buyer of Northern Pacific.
10 a. m.-Stocks opened compare
lively free from excitement, strong and
higher for many OF the leading shares.
Lackawanna, Burlington and Quincy and
sugar trust were the only stocks that
showed marked decline.
Failure No. 1.
1890 a. m.-Randall g. Wierum,
brokers, have suspended. Their failure
has had no effect on the market, which
now is steady, with the general list we'll
held at small fractions above opening
figures.
Wierum states that the engagements
of the firm were very small. He ex-
poets an early adjustment.
The suspension of Randall & Wierum
was great surprise to the street. The
failure is said by friends of the firm to
be due mainly to Randall's physical
inability to be upon the floor of the ex-
change, and it is understood arrange
uents have been perfected to re-estab-
lish the house at an early day.
AS a.m.-Stocks are quiet, with an
upward tendency. Weak stocks have
recovered their decline.
The market continued irregular and
feverish, though at II O'Clock it was
generally firm at something better than
at the opening.
Another Firm Suspends.
11:20 a.m.--Gregory, Ballou & Co.,
brokers, have failed.
Gregory says the cause of the suspen-
sion is shrinkage in stocks. He believes
their embarrassment is temporary only.
Stocks after II had very ordinary
appearance, while trading was moderate
and firm at advanced prices over the en-
tire list for fractional amounts. There
was considerable irregularity, however.
Northern Pacific preferred and sugars
again developed weakness, retiring IL .
Noon-Money to g per cent. Stocks
generally active and firm at the best
figures OF the morning. although few
unimportant stocks sold off under sales
for account at suspended prices.
At 2:15 the market was fairly active
and quiet, near the best prices of the
day.
The Market Closes Firm
3p. m.-Money has been tighter, rang
ing from 6 to 1856 per cent. The last loan
was at 96.
Bar silver, $100.
Stocks were quiet after 2:15, and firm
without material change. Closed fairly
active, firm to strong, at about the best
prices of the day.
