GAUNT FAMINE

Efforts to Stave Off the Hunger
Riots Have Commenced I'm
MANY Places.


ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 22.-The famine has
extended to Siberia. The governor has
compiled report showing that in the dis
tricts Of Kokothecetosh and Petrapaulosk
what food supplies the inhabitants pos
sessed have been entirely exhausted and
appeals are made to public charity. Owing
to the difficulty Of transportation in win
ter, the efforts at relief seem almost hope
less. Supplies from Caucasla are improy-
ing in quantity and it is hoped they will
avail to staYe off the worst effects of the
famine. Adyices from the interior OF the
empire are continually Of the worst import.
People are commencing to riot in Salnora,
Saratoff and Veronetz.
SHORT OF FOOD IN SPAIN.
MADRID, Oct. 22.-seyeral villages in the
province of Granada have been isolated by

sequence is very scarce. Traffic is COM

The board Of county commissioners
had concluded not to make fight
with the railroad company over the
assessment but the matter has now
assumed different phase The as
SCISSOR had made the assessment at
$4,000 Der mile and the railroad COM
pany had been notified as other peo-
pie had that the county commission
ers would sit as board of equaliza-
ton at certain time and if they had
any grievances then was the time to
present them. This the company
failed to do. The assessor made up
his roll at $4,000 per mill and the au-
ditof has certified to it at that rate
and charged the assessor with the as
sessment on that basis. The fight,
should there be one, will now come
between the assessor and the railroad
company with the board of equaliza-
ton.

the school funds of the state could be

from the school fund as was bid by
outside parties. The constitution of
the state was procured and consider
able discussion arose as to the legality
of investing the school funds in the
purchase of state bond because the
legislature had not provided the

AS rule Russell Sage keeps more

York. He is worth, all told, S50.000,000
Probably no individual in the world has
60 much money at constant command.
He can, on an hours notice, produce
100000 in cash. AS matter of fact
he could, if necessary, deliver the
money in 10 minutes. His principal
business is money lending, and that is
why he has so much within reach all
the time.
Mr.. Sage has unpretentious, though
pleasant, offices at the corner of Broad

few clerks, as he personally looks after
his own affairs, even in the smallest

Mr.. Sage does not keep his money in
his Office. 1t is on deposit, subject to

among a number of concerns, his

New York.

NEW YORK, June 6.-The stock market to
day was dull and steady in the main, but
firm tone was developed in a few stocks
which gave a character to the trading, and
was the means of leaving most of the list
slightly higher at the close The general ex-
pectation was that the bank statement would
show only slight change from that of last
week, and in this there was no disappoint-
ment though the statement indicated large
loss in cash, which, however, the decrease in
the legal requirements prevented from max
ing any material loss in the reserve. The
trading was in the main merely irregular
the great majority of the list the
fluctuations were on the limited scale. There
was realizing in Chicago Gas, and that stock
retired lac from the best price of yesterday,
but heavy buying of Atchison was seen and
a rise of s4c followed. The industrials, as a
rule, followed Chicago Gas and whisky lost
Ac. The rest of the market was entirely
featureless. and while st. Paul was active
no marked movement was seen. The open
ing was made at slight changes from last
evenings figures, and an improving tendency
IN the hrSt hour was followed by partial re-
action later The close was steady at the
figures. Atchison is up per cent, and South
ern Pacific like amount, while Chicago Gas
lost half. Railroad bonds sales reached
only S247, 900, while the temper was steady
and the final changes without significance.
The Post says: 1.-The forecasts and expecta-
tions i'll regard to the bank statement
were for once just about correct. 1t was ex-
pected that in view OF the gold exports the
surplus reserve would show a moderate de-
crease and the figures showed a decrease of
SS41, ,575 in the surplus reserve concurrent
with a decrease in the deposits which re-
duced requirements of the 25 per cent reserve.
The loans also showed decrease of 81, ,S4S OO0
and as this decrease OF loans has been concur
rent with easier rates for call loans. and very
light demand for time loans, it may be as
sumed that the liquidation of loans has
been voluntary on the part of the borrow
ers. So far as the bank statement is
any index of the condition of affairs in the
stock market, this liquidation of loans to-
gether with the fact that the total amount of
the loans of the banks is over 500 900 less,
or about per cent smaller than at this time
last year, there appears to be comparatively
few stocks being carried on borrowed capi-
tai On the other hand, if it be assumed
that the decrease of over S12, ,000. 900 in the
loans in the past three weeks has been indi-
cative of any liquidation in the holding of
stocks it must be admitted that the effect
upon prices has been SO small that it would
indicate that stocks had been bought and
paid for. The explanation of some of the
most prominent exchange houses is that the
gold exports will continue during the week.
but ii will be seen that the unexpected ex-
portation of gold this week had very little
effect to depress prices of stocks.
