GOLD SYNDICATE BROKEN.
Leading New York Banks Withdraw
From Membership.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-A special from
New York says: The Morgan syndi-
cate has at last been shaken by the
withdrawal from it of the Chemical
National bank. 1t is understood that
the amount of the banks subscription
was 100000. George G. Williams, the
president of the bank, said: Our sub
scription simply represented those of
our depositors, and we do not want
to tie them up in the uncertainties of
the syndicate. We do not wish to
stand in the way of any public desire
for the success of a popular Loan
1t was reported that the City Ma
ticnal, and possibly the United States
Trust company and the Hanover Ma
tional, will follow the lead of the
Chemical. The City National has S10,-
100000 in gold in it's vaults, and it's
subscription was reported as So, 00O, 600
The subscriptions of the Hanover Ma
tional and the United States Trust
company were each about So, 900 000
The lead of the Chemical National is
considered an indication that the sell
ing of the bonds directly to the public
will be a success.

Products Not Very Active, and In

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade tomorrow
will say:
: The new year begins with such I'M
certainty that the business is some
what retarded. The proposed sale of
bonds offers ground for confidence in
the future, but no one is able to deter
mine what it's earliest effect may be in
fhe money market, and for the time it
is cause of hesitation more than hope
fplnesS- Speculation in products has
not been active. Wheat is about 1c
higher, and corn the same, without dis
f1lct reason in either case, for the gov
eminent report, tardily conforming to
commercial estimates of some months
ago, did not command great confidence.
iIbe industrial situation has not materi-
ally changed There is much hesitation
in the iron business, with some advance
in BcaseTer pig, because of the expecta-
't1ol that CornelFs coke and lake ore
iWl1 be both dearer, and yet finished
products Of iron and Of steel are on the
Nhole quoted a little lower, and the
nail association is still in session to de-
feTmine whether it will abandon the
effort to maintain a fixed price. Sales
OF WOOL are large-6,699 800 pounds for

IS of speculative character, based

shows further tendency toward lower

that higher prices would be realized
before long if the revenue bill, which

opinion to the effect that there did not ap-

Mr.. Justus and the City of st. Paul and that
there was no legal liability on the part OF
work performed by him. but inasmuch a. the

there was no legal objection to the School

be determined by the School Board. Various
parties interested or concerned in the Justus
claims were heard at length by the Board and
