THE FINANCIAL NEWS.

Money remains at to 6lf per cent,
though the actual rate for most business
is per cent. Call loans are 60 AZ.
National Bank at 500. This is the lowest
price recorded for ten years, and the rea-
sons for the low price are hard 10 nnd,
They do not enter in the stock because OF
its low intrinsic value, but because there
is some stock temporarily for sale. III Is
generally known that the bank mas
some money tied mp in loans maue
20 large mill corporations. IL Is, how,
ever, the opinion of the directors, anu
none are in as good position as they TO
know, that all of these will be eventually
realized in full The loans are amply Sc
cured and portions of them have already
been charged off. There is, therefore, no
reason for the very low price at which the
stock is selling. 1t Yields q per cent, ana
the surplus is over 100000. The deposits
are large, and, as "A whole, the bank is
strong. 1t is, however,. directed by
some of the strongest financial men
in the state, and there is an
impression that if they do not
see fit TO support the stock Others Will not
do so. IL would seem to be the duty OF
the directors to take what stock is offered
and thus restore confidence in the stock:
1t is not good policy for those Interested
TO allow n security to drop so far below its
actual value.
The sale of Providence and Stonington
Steamship Company at l54, is also very
low price. The company is doing more
business than ever before and earning
more money.

CRIsPI HAS FALLEN
The italian Premier Makes Bad Break
In Parliament.

ROME. February LIN the debate
yesterday in the Chamber OF Deputies
on the spirit taxes bill, Signor Crispi,
the Prime Minister, urged that the
taxes proposed by the Government were
imperatively necessary to prevent Italy
from falling again TO 10 the Servile con-
ditiOn she was in as regards foreign
powers In 1875. The Conservative mem
bers of the Chamber, who were in Office
in 1874. protested in an uproarlouS man
ner against the language Of the Prime
Minister. Finally the present Minister
OF Public Works, who was member OF
the Cabinet in 1874. left the Treasury
bench amid much enthusiasm on the
part Of the Conservatives.
Signor CriSpi was greatly agitated'
and became deathly pale. He tried TO
explain his words, but he could not be
heard above the hOwls OF his opponents.
The bill was finally rejected, large
majority Of the members voting against
il. When the result Of the vote was
made known, Signor CrlSpi announced
that he would resign. The crisis is
complete. 1t is doubtful whether Sig
nor Crispi will be able to reconstruct
the Cabinet.
Signor Crispl at $50 o'clock tonight
proceeded TO the Quirnal Palace TO
place his resignation in the hands OF
King Humbert. King llumbert re-
ceiyed Premier Crispi, but declined to
accept his resignation until he had fur
ther considered the situation.
King Humbert had conference to-
day with the President Of the Senate
and the President Of the Chamber Of
Deputies in reference 70 the Ministerial
crisis.

VACANT sEcRETARYsHIP.'
Personal and Political ReasOns Why Nc
Kinley Would Not Accept IL.

opcCtdt IctcyfGN 10 tNe Hfst'tff
WASHINGTON. February There
are some personal aud political consd
erations which make IL improbable that
Mai. Mckinley would accept the Secre-
taryShip OF the Treasury if it were Of
fered him by President Harrison. Not
withstanding the undeniable facts that
the Mckinley Tariff bill contributed
good deal to the defeat of the Republi-
cans in the late campaign, Mr.. Nc
Kinlcy still believes in that measure.
He regards it as great piece OF states
manship, and thinks that time alone is
necessary To vindicate its usefulness
and benelicence. Consequently, il is
likely he does not regard ii and the dis
astrouS results TO his party which fol-
lowed its enactment as injuring his
Presidential availability, thinks himself
in the field as Il Presidential probabil
ity for 1892. But If he should accept
place in IlarrSOn'S cabinet as Secretary
OF the Treasury, he would be obliged 10
relinquiSh his Presidential ambition.
President Harrison is himself candi-
date for denomination, and, OF course,
no man in his cabinet would be his
rival. 1t is understood to
be the Republican programme
in Ohio TO run Mckinley for
Governor at the next State election.
Mckinley might accept the Secretary
ship of the Treasury, and hold II until
he was elected but it is not likely that
Harrison would consent to such an ar
rangement. He would not care to have
another break in his Cabinet, especially |
for the convenience OF man who was
likely to become his competitor for the |
presidential nomination. or course |
were it possible for Mckinley TO obtain
a Cabinet position without rellnquish- |
ing his presidential ambitions, it would |
give him 4 great boom in the right di-
rection. II he showed himself an able
Secretary and won the good will OF the
great money kings OF the East, as most
OF the Treasury take pains
TO do. he wonld become a very formid
able candidate. But ii is scarcely credi-
that Harrison will make such a move,
as il is understood he is consumed with
a desire to succeed himself. In this
view OF the situation, although II is
generally admitted by the Republicans
that Mckinley is the man for the place
it seems very unlikely that 1t will be
offered him or that he would accept II
il were offered. His acceptance would
lt once be interpreted as confession
that he regarded the part his tariff bill
played in the late election as bar to
his further presidential aspirations and
will hardly do anything upon
which such Il construction may be
placed.
