Financial Atmosphere in Wall Street
Much Clearer After Ii Thunder
Crashes.
NEw York. Nov. 13.-The disturb
ance in the stock market has had theef
feet of a thunder storm, apparently, as
was expected, and did a great deal
toward clearing the financial atmos-
phere. During the morning there was
considerable anxiety manifested on
every side to see the market open and
learn whether any more disasters were
to FOLLOW. The market opened
firm, with a good tone according
to q general consensus of opinion
and there was an upward tendency in
prices of from / per cent. to 8 Or 4
points. Although there had been pre-
dictions of failures to be announced as
soon as the market opened, the first
hour went by without any, and there
was general rejoicing thereat. 1t was
said that the action of the clearing
house banks had
Avcrted q Bank Pauic,
and thereby prevented further trouble;
9 broker Of two might fail, but that
would have but little or no effect upon
the market. Prices during the first hour
were from l to 4 per cent. higher all
around, and the Willard stocks were In
good demand at the extreme advances.
The advance in the rest of the list at .
o'clock ranged from to 4 per cent. Just
before the close of the market money
loaned at 8 to 4 per cent. and the worst
is believed to be over.

1T is said that a Kansas senator
elect, who has political aspirations
and craftsmanship qualifications very
similar to those of our North Dakota
Walter Muir, has proposed a means
for good times with the farmers
something like the following:
There shall be established in the
department of agriculture a bureau to
be known as the Sub.Treasury Blu.
reau, which shall make regulations
for carrying this act into effect; that
the minimum price of agricultural
products grown in the United States
shall be: Good ordinary cotton, 10
cents per pound: Good merchantable
wheat, 81 per bushel: corn, 30 cents
per bushel. When a farmer cannot
sell his crops at these prices at his
nearest market town he may take his
crop to the nearest government agen'
cy and there receive the statutory
prices in greenbacks, of which thu
secretary of the treasury is author,
lied to print as great a quantity az
may be needed.
Walter Muir got II votes in STARK
county for governor, but no n seems
anxious to %confessing of having cas-
a vote for him.

Another Revolution in Central America
in Progress.
LA LIBERTAD, Nov. 1.-THE revolu-
ton, which has been gaining Roadway
since the conclusion of the war between
Salvador and Guatemala, has broken
out in Honduras. Tagucigalpa is in a
state of siege, telegraph communication
direct with the capital has been inter-
ruptcd, and it is believed that the wires
have been cut. The Salvadorian gov
eminent has received several dispatches
in regard to the affair. One is to the
effect that on Friday last a part of the
garrison of Tagucigalpa revolted and
under the leadership of Gen. LONGING
Sanchez took possession, after hard
fighting, of the capitol building and
arsenal. Since then street skirmishing
has been of daily occurrence and San
chez and his forces now
Have President Dogran Surrounded
in one of the wards of the city, and it is
believed that he will be forced to sur
render unless other garrisons arrive at
the scene Of the revolt within two or
three days. The garrisons of inspection
on the S~alvadorian and Nicaraguan
frontiers are being pushed toward the
capital by forced marches, only enough
soldiers being left behind to prevent,
if possible, uprising. Several other
army men are hurrying with their
forces to aid Sanchez. It is believed
the
Revolution Will Become General
and that Bogran will be forced, if not
captured, to leave the country. The gar
risons now on the way to help Bogran

They will maintain a strict neutrality in
the present internal strife. Private adj

lieved that Barillas will attempt to aid

drowned. Only three escaped. The
Serpent went on the rocks during Il Sc

heavy mist prevailed at the time. 1t
was impossible to obtain assistance
from the shore, and the vessel remained
in her helpless position until broken TO

up over her. The crew were washed

waves, and
Drowned or Dashed to Death
amid the rocks. The news of the disas-
ter was conveyed to Corunna, a distance
of sixty miles, over mountain roads, and
when n relief corp was organized aud

late to be of any avail. The Serpent's

fated vessel did not survive. Though

alone to solve, and Guatemala must
keep aloof. Ezeta expressed the hope

was considered the cloud that had been

occurred. Mr.. Cromwell makes the fol-
lowing statement concerning the firms

market price, largely exceed that sum.
The liabilities are due almost entirely to
banks and bankers on loans made, and
are we'll secured. The cause of the sus-
pension was the inability of the firm to
borrow the necessary amount of cash re-
quired in the days business. The firms

ures.
NEW YORK, Nov. lO.-The dark clouds
which have been hanging over Wall
street for the last six months almost
reached a climax of blackness Monday
morning. The stock exchange was on
the verge of a panic during the first two
hours. Money was almost unobtainable
and failures were imminent. London
prices for American securities cabled
over here in the morning showed de-
clincs of from 1 to 2 per cent. below the
closing prices of Saturday. Money rates
were high in London, and an uncom-
Portable feeling of insecurity was re-
ported. When the market opened here
there was
A Rush to Sell Stocks at Any Price.
At about 1 o'clock money lenders
began to appear in the loan crowd on
the stock exchange. They offered the
money which they had been holding
back for better rates and found many
eager takers. Rates quickly ran up to
Is and so per cent, and then to ] per
cent and interest, which is equivalent to
about 80 per cent per year. At about
the same time there came a sharp rally
in the stock market, and prices began to
advance again. Among the extreme de-
cline of the day was that of Manhattan,
8 per cent, and Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis Q per cent.
Tho Hank Of Franco Holds the Key.
Tho impression seems to be gaining
ground that only prompt action on the
part of the bank of France can avert a
panic in London, the reverberations of
which will fall over the world. The
bank of France has a stock of nearly
50,0 900 pounds of gold. The banks
directors are p%roverbially miserly.
On Saturday they advanced the pre-
MUM on gold coins.
The situation in London is becoming
painfully strained. South America,
South Africa and Egypt, in all of which
England's moneyed interests are very
large, are all calling on the bank Of
England for more gold, and the bank
cannot respond. 1t is thought probable
that the directors of the bank must soon
advance the rate to an even higher fig
ure than 6 per cent.
