THE refusal of Mayor pro TEN"
Crawford to sign certain of the
warrants ordered by the council at
its last meeting is an exhibition of
the rankest partisanship. Or, rath-
er, the partisanship is exhibited,
not SO much by the refusal to sign
the ones as by the affixing of his
signature to certain others. Sew
eral bills of like nature were or
dered paid the acting mayor
readily signed those which were in
favor of his adherents and tillicums,
while others were mot signed be-
cause the council must use the
money for current expenses" A
statement taken to the "acting
mayor" showed that there was
money available in funds to meet
these warrants if they should be
drawn, but his signature was still
withheld, although he could make
no excuse for so doing after having
signed others. If it is right to sign
one then it is right to sign all Of
the same character. Mayor St
Lawrence was certainly consistent
and refused to sign all, but with
the acting mayor" it depends up
on whether you are friend or foe; i
friend, come into the fold and take
your pull at the public teat.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.


The past week has been among
the warmest that has ever occurred
in Washington during the month
of June. There was a succession
of three or four excessively warm
days during the latter part of the
week. Temperatures ranged on
the hottest day, the Goth, from 50
to 95 degrees in the western section,
and from 90 to 105 degrees in the
eastern section.
No rain occurred in the eastern
part of the state, and in the western
part only very slightly, scattering
showers on the Goth and 28th.
Rain is now beginning to be very
much needed. 1t would be very
beneficial to growing crops, and
coming now woulp not do injury to
hay as it would later on when hay
ing becomes general.
On the whole the weather was
favorable, especially to root crops,
and to all crops on the moist low
lands of the western section; if it
was not beneficial to grain on dry
lands.
EASTERN SECTION.
Ghe greatest menace to successful
crops in eastern Washington is the
hot, dry winds of midsummer; and
farmers always fear their occur
renee, and are anxious until grain
is we'll along toward ripening. The
past week has fortunately not been
very windy, but it has been hot,
and there has been some grain
scorched in the Big Bend country,
and in Walla Walla and Columbia
counties. The PaIouse country ap-
pears to have Jared better, This is
the filling season for grain, and just

SALE OF sEABoARD.
Transfer Means the Resignation of
President Hoffman

BALTIMORE. Nd. Oct Pr Curron
Hoffman, president of the Seaboard Air Line
said today that he would resign Immediately
when the transfer of the property was made
to the New York syndicate, headed by
Thomas F. Ryan. The Seaboard will prac-
teaily become part of the Southern system,
and the latter's only foe in competition will
be silenced forever. 1t is reported that they
would pay much higher figure per share
for the Seaboard stock than SIPS, the price
believed to have been agreed upon, rather
than be disappointed In getting the property.
Mr.. Hoffman said 81 shall resign as soon
as the transfer is made I would not care
to remain president under that syndicate, nor
do 1 believe that the syndicate would want
me- Until the transfer does take place I
shall continue as president of the system and
look after its interests the same as 1 always
have done. If the transfer is made, General
Gill cannot claim any Of the credit for work
ing the deal. He was never in 1t. A large
majority of stock was pooled with commit
tee of which Louis McLahe is the chairman,
and If the deal is closed, it would be through
this committee
The committee of which Mr. McLane is
for period of five years and is also author
lied to sell at advantageous terms. 1t is
understood that the right to ratify the action
of the pool committee is vested in President
Hoffman, although there was clause in the
agreement requiring a vote of three-fourths
of the stockholders to ratify a sale. Mr..
McLane has issued a circular letter request
ing the stockholders who joined the pool to
deposit their holdings at once. 1t Is believed
two competing steamboat lines between this
city and Norfolk will be withdrawn. Presi-
dent Hoffman thinks 1t will be the York
River line.

WORLD WHEAT SHORT.
A Legitimate Demand Should Ad-
vance the Price.


- NEW YORK, Oct. PA dispatch to
the World from Eo,- don says: 4 report
er of the World had aeon versatlon with
Mr.. Rush, the editor Of Eaerponm
Corn Trade List, the standard aurnnr-
Just left the Corn Exchange-where he
had ascertained the views of all the
leading men in the trade-said:
This rise, almost for the first time
en- record, originated here, not in
America. This shows that it could
have had nothing to do with any man
ipUlation of the American markets for
political or other purposes. Its cause
is that after several years Of abun-
dance, the people now recognize that
this year Is one Of ordinary supply.
Owing to the previous abundance,
everybody held aloof from buying, and
the stocks ran down. Besides the
Australian crop is pretty certain to be
failure, and there is the extraordin-
airy fact that India has become for
once, though to a small extent, an
importer. These things caused the re-
cent advance in prices. The trade al
ways goes to extremes to start with.
A reaction that has occurred was to be
expected, but the cause Of the advance
remains.
1.-THE men of the most experience in
the London market believe that wheat
is going to rule at 35 shillings ($8.75) a
quarter eight bushels in a quarter)
because 1T is now realized in addition
to the other reasons that I have given
that is is not possible to produce wheat
in Europe cheaper.
Argentina does not count in :he cal
cClation, because her crop cannot be
reckoned on until the end Of Novem-
Der. 1t is now promising, but a week
or bad weather might spoil it alto
gether. If the Argentine crop fails,
there will be excitement in the trade
If 1t is fairly abundant, it will pre-
vent such excitement. 1t cannot, at
best, supply us with more than five
million quarters, which is a bagatelle

wheat. Besides, the difference in gold
premium means loss of from five to
ter shillings quarter against the Ar
gentine farmer.
'The continental markets follow US
here, and until the present occasion,
we have followed America
For the first time in years, America
now holds the key to the situation.
Every bushel Of wheat America can
spare will be wanted in Europe. At
least 20,000,000 quarters Q60, 900, 900

son is over
IF America could hold back the
wheat for a month it would go up ten
shillings $3.50 a quarter. But sup
pose the American banks do not con-
slider wheat a commodity, on which 1t
is safe to give large accommoda tons,
so that the American trade is obliged
to send wheat on as fast as it can.
1.-THE Russian shortage is uncertain,
but it is now assumed here that it will
be 100000 900 quarters. We look forward
on the whole to an active time, with
considerable fluctuations, for the mo-

sUBTREAsURY DRAINED.
Gold Was in Active Demand ON the
Pacific Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-The SUBJ
treasury has just pulled through
rather serious run, which threatened
to annihilate it's gold reserve and leave
it without dollar with which to re-
deem the perfect avalanche Of green
backs that poured in over the counter.
Timely aid came from Chicago, and
other sources, and when the outpour-
ing Of gold finally stopped, the $12,0G0,
600 of few months ago, despite the
frequent additions that have been made
during that period, was reduced to
bare $4,000,000.
F>r once the gubtreasury had OIL
hand more greenbacks than it wanted.
In two weeks time $10,000,000 worth of
them were dumped over the counters
and the gold they represented with
drawn. There was something like
$4,000 600 in gold in the vaults when the
run commenced. Chicago was ap-
pealed to for aid, and sent $4,000000,
and an equally large amount was Sc
cured from the mint, while the 81 500, 900
in British Sovereigns recently received
from Australia were coined into double
eagles at the mint and carted to the
subtreasury. The S4,000,000 which was
left after the furry was over, has since
been increased by 1000, 900 for which
greenbacks were withdrawn, and there
is evidence that the furry is over.
Much Of the gold withdrawn went be-

ones authorized to redeem greenbacks.
Usually the demand for greenbackS
Is steady at the subtreasury here, as
the exchange Is almost invariably in
favor Of New York, and it costs less
TO ship greenbacks than gold.
DENIED AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, Oct 27.-The statement
telegraphed from San Francisco to the
effect that the United States subtreas-
ury there had just pulled through
run which threa tened to annihilate it's
gold holdings is stated by the treasury
officials to be greatly exaggerated.
During the month of August and a
part Of September, the Withdrawals re-
ported from the subtreasury at San
Francisco were abnormally heavy,
but at no time were the officials APP
prehensive Of any serious results.
Long before the Withdrawals assumed

subtreasury officials to be ready to

of gold as might be required, and later

BIG INCREASE IN TRADE VOLUME
Fair General Totals Made I'm Spite
of Heavy Dealings In Sugar
and Reading.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-The speculation In
stocks today exceeded any recent record,
and, despite exceptionally heavy dealings in
Sugar and Reading, the market could be fairly
termed broad, a number Of the prominent
shares attracting attention by fair-sized totals.
The operations were signalzed by scoop
against values on the part of come person
or persons unknown, presumably interested
on the short side, and the combined effect
iveness and simplicity Of the tactics en-
ployed once more illustrated the short-sight-
edness and gullibility of the average Wall
street trader. The scheme, which purported
to forecast political complications between
this country and Spain, together with
rise In call money to an extreme II per
cent caused recession In prices Of 1Q1A per
cent In the general list, while Sugar lost
2N per cent. The strategem enabled many
shorts who were being 'gunned" for by
leading operator TO either escape altogether
or limit their losses.
a firm tone developed early. and on
heavy purchases for both accounts
prices rose all along the line, with an espe-
cial inquiry for the high priced industrials.
Sugar touched 1157A. Foreign sales were
noted to fairly large extent, but the offer
ings were well taken. Commission houses
were also large purchasers. Soon after
the first hour the raids referred to in the
beginning Of this article were inaugurated
and the speculative temper temporarily un-
derwent radical change. The stringency
in money impaired a feverish tone to the
market although sharp rallies occurred in
the early afternoon based upon covering.
Strength in the exchange market, in the face
of the tightness Of money, was variously
attributed to the temporary indisposition Of
bankers to extend their operations by draw
ing, to sales Of our securities for foreign
account, buying of exchange for hedging pur-
poses and finally to scarcity Of ocean freight
room. The market was again raided in the
last hour, although money reacted to 6 per
cent and many stocks touched the lowest
points. The closing was weak, with net
changes showing general sharp fractional
losses.
Railroad bonds were moderately active, but
without special feature, aside from firmness
in tone. The sales were 81, 241 900. Govern
ments were quiet and without change aside
from slight concession in the fives The
sales were $4,000. Silver certificates worked
slightly lower dealings of $4,000 The
total sales of stocks today were 304, SIT shares,

MILLIONS IN BONDS
Involved in an Action Before Judge
Hickman,


NEW YORK. Oct. PA motion was ar
gued before Judge Beekman today in behalf
of Dwight Bralan, Boston banker and a
member of the New York and Boston stock
viously granted by the same judge to pre-
vent the use of about 100000 of consolidat-
ed mortgage bonds of the ST. Louis & San
Francisco railway company in payment OF
the purchase price of the property of the
railroad company which has been sold under
foreclosure sale directed by the United
States circuit court In Missouri. The de-
PENDANTS are the Mercantile Trust company,
which is in possession of the mortgaged
property, claiming title under the foreclosure
sale from the St. Louis San Francisco
and David King. individually and as cnair-
man of the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe
reorganization committee.
Roger Foster, for the plaintiff, argued that
the 7xrcur,v., company, by the fraudulent use
Of its ownership or -,S ~ stock Of the Frisco
company, obtained the bonds III question by
means which. under the New York penal
code. amount to grand larceny. The only
excuse for the acquisition by the Atchison
company of S5,0O0,000 of these bonds was a
guarantee made when the guarantor was in
solvent. Of $50,O00,000 of Frisco bonds Of
which no more than 900 were ISSUED.
Consequently these bonds were fraudulent.
Mr.. Foster stated that the receiver Of stolen
goods was worse than the thief, and that
these bonds should be Cancelled. and until
the trial Of this case, their use should be
Edward G. Henderson, counsel for the pur-
chasing railroad company and the Frisco re-
organization committee said that he did not
dispute the original invalidity of these bonds,
but claimed that his clients had bought them
from bonafide owners and that the New York
courts had no jurisdiction. Charles C. Dem
ing, of the trust company, and the receivers
claimed that under the provision of the mort
gage the trustee was not responsible. Mr.
Foster in reply, said that the principal holders
of these bonds, when the Atchison reorgani-
cation company acquired them, before their
sale by the latter committee to the Frisco re-
organization committee, were Barring Magoun
& Co., Barring Bros. an English syndicate
represented by Barring, Magoun & Co.. the
Mercantile Trust company, the Equitable Life
Assurance Co., and the trust company. All
these, he said, had notice of the invalidity Of
the bonds from the fact that Col. John J..
McCook and George G. Magoun, one Of whom
was counsel agent or director of each of
these persons except the Union Trust com
p&ny were directors in both the Frisco and
Atchison railway companies at the time when
the bonds were fraudulently acquired. but
took part in the transaction. Judge Beekman
reserved his decision and directed the parties
to submit briefs and plaintiffs affidavit in
rebuttal next Monday.
