Ba.lnur's Opinion OF the Cause Of Agrieu!.
turaI Depression
LONDON, Feb. 7.-Replying today to a
deputation representing the agricultural
interests, the first lord Of the treasury, A.
j. Bafour, informed his visitors that the
government we're preparing various meas.
ures for the relief of the agricultural
classes. Mr.. Balfour also stated it was
his personal conclusion that agriculture
suffered doubly owing to the present con-
dition of the currency and expressed his
personal belief that the reduced prices
were largely d ue to the artificial apprecia-
ton of gold which followed the demoneti
zation of silver and, secondly, to the art-
fetal advantage given the producer in sill
yer-using countries over the producers in
gold-using countries
Continuing, Mr.. Balfour says the OBJ.
stacles to reform did not come from
abroad They were TO be found at home.
Thc-efore it was desirable to impress upon
the powerful interests opposing it how
much the national and individual prosper
ity were bound up in currency reform.

BOND BIDS
The Syndicate Gets Less Than one-Third OF
the Issue

The Syndicate Gets Less Than One-Third OF
the Issue
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Late this after
noon the treasury officials finished the
computation of bids offered for the new
bond issue, from which it appears that the
amount of the bids above that of j. Z.
Morgan and his associates (S11O.6S77
was $66,7SS $50. and that the amount
which will be awarded to the syndicate,
therefore, will be $33,2 $50, or approx
mately one-third OF the whole issue.
The number of successful bidders is 7Sl.
In arriving at this conclusion the officials
have thrown out very few bids, obviously
flctitions. and larger number of which
were irregular in important particulars.
Some of these bore no signature and
others did not contain the amount intend
ed to be bid for, while still others omitted
the rate. These last, however, are not
supposed TO aggregate any consider
able sum. The fact that two-lhirds
of the entire ie"ue are found
to have been at rates ranging
from above 1l0.6S77 is something of a
surprise to all who heard the bids an
nounced, but there is no question of the
accuracy of the statements as all of the
bids have been again gone over and all
errors made iii the hurry of the day Of the
opening have been corrected. 1t is The in
tention of the officials to have the revised
list of successful bidders ready for pubii
cation tomorrow and at the same time it
is hoped to have ready for mailing all the
letters of acceptances of bids.

CONSERVATION in both official and private
circles. The minister of education re-
signed and retired to his country seat
when his protests were disregarded. Many
lesser government officers also resigned
rather than sacrifice their locks.
The proclamation excited alarm among
the people at large, but at each of the four
gates of the capital constables were posted
to await the coming of country people and
to compel them to submit to the BARRIERS
who lie in wait for their victims. Western
hats and coats are generally adopted by
those who lose their queues. In the rural
districts the Coreans have broken out INTO
actual rebellion at the proclamation.
Many local governors have resigned their
posts, owing to their unwil'ingness TO cut
off their queues, several hundred people
have fled to the mountains, and as many
more are under arms, preparing to attack
the Corean troops.
The rebellion in Formosa is unchecked.
One army of rebels has taken up its post
ton at Tou Wei, and another has assem-
bled at Camphor Mount. The Japanese
troops are confident of defeating the rebels,
but cannot attack them in their mountain
retreats.
