weekly review of trade will say tomor-
row: The growing foreign demand for
American products is influenced mainly
by political uncertainty abroad. While
Europe awaits the outcome between Eng
land and France about the upper Nile.
the financiers of all European countries
are irving to force upon each other the
burden OF providing cash for the enOrm-
Gus demands of the United States Eng
land has so managed as TO make France
and Germany SEND most OF the gold, ana
the resulting war OF exchange between
foreign nations checks for the moment
the movement of gold this way. Yet these
and all other causes do not so far hinder
business as TO prevent an excess over the
most prosperous of previous years The
exchanges through all clearing houses for
the past week have been 8. per cent
larger than last year and IL per cent
larger than in 1892. but outside of New

smaller than in 1892.
In wooden goods. also. there has been a
marked Improvement during the past
week. and better sales, with good in

transaction in the wool market, sales hav-
ing amounted for the past week to 4.696. 400

months. but at some concessions in price,
which were not reported in published quo
tatiOns.
The manufacturers are altogether en-
cOuraged with the increase and have rea-
son TO believe that the expected demand

the current demand is largely for low

the tone is somewhat weaker for bars

French Troops Have Completed War
Equipment and Ready to March
Major Marchand Reports From
Fashoda-Repairs TO British Ships
Must Be Completed at Once.

Paris, Oct. PA remarkable change
has come over French opinion on the
Fashoda question during the past As
hours. The attitude of the public is
more infiamed and more defiant This
is partly due to the tone of the British
press. but more to the threatening
spirit of the British chancellor of the
eXchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
which the Autorite calls "a provoca-
ton that is almost a threat of war"
The municipal council of Paris is
accused on all sides of exhorting the
government to avert war. In govern
ment circles the disposition seems to be
10 resist the British demands. 1t is
reported that the policy of France, as
definitely stated to Great Britain, in
cludes the retention of Fashoda. Ru-
mors that the Russian foreign minister,
Count Muravieff. has assured NJ. Del
Case, the French foreign minister, of
Russia's support in the controversy,
tend to stiffen the backs of the higher
officials, although these continue to
maintain a conciliatory tone and de-
clare that France is prepared to carry
amiability to the utmost limits consist
ent with her rights and dignity.

BANK RUN AT NEW YORK.
Mechanics & Traders Bank Depositors
Wanted Their Cash.

New York Oct 21.-The Mechanics &
Traders bank, concerning which there
has developed some adverse rumOrs
over night. made its exchanges as usual
at the clearing house today. Among
the bank presidents down town the be-
lief prevailed that the bank is perfect
ly solvent. and that 1t will go right
on, although there might be some
change in the management.
At a directors meeting late in the
day, President Baltes was deposed
and Vice President Lee Schlinger made
president.
The publication of the story that
President Baltes had been offering his
notes on the street caused a crowd to
collect in front of the bank before the
doors We're opened today and when
business began, depositors lined up to
the paying tellers window. All de-
mands were promptly met. Officials of
the bank assured the waiting de-
positors that the bank was perfectly
solvent and that 100000 in cash had
been received at the bank for those
who wished to withdraw. Nobody,
however. seemed to care to withdraw
from the line

POLITICAL ACTIVITY DEFINED
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION IS
SUES CIRCULAR LETTER.
Boards of Examiners Advised That
Executive Instructions Are Still
In Force.

Washington, Oct. 21.-The civil serv-
ice commission has issued circular
letter, which is being sent to the mem
bers of the 200 boards of examiners
throughout the country, on the ''pOIiti-
cal activity of federal officers and en-
ployees." 1t calls attention to the eX-
tracts from the executive instructions
of July II. 1856. which. the circular
says, are still in force and which are
republished for the information and
guidance of all officers and employees
in the civil service. The circular then
says: THE postmaster general, in a
letter dated Aug. S, 1898, stated that
the order of the president above. quoted
had been neither revoked nor modified.
Those who enter the classified serv-
ice upon the ground of aScertained
merit as established by the civil serv-
ice rules, and are protected therein,
should be quick to recognize the reci-
prOcal regulations thereby imposed and
avoid any action which now or at any
future time could reasonably be sub
ject to adverse criticism.
THE commission believes the inter-
ests of the service will be promoted by
nop~partisanship on the part of the
members of its boards of examiners in
political conventions, or in the work of
political committees.
while attendance at a political con-
vention as a delegate, or membership
upon a political committee is not in
itself a violation of the civil service
rules, the committee holds that all par
tisan activity. if sufficient to impair
usefulness as a representative of the
civil service commission, is sufficient to
cause removal from membership on any
of its boards of examiners.
Section of the civil act of January,
1888, provides that no person in the
service has any right to use his Of
fetal authority or influence to coerce
the political action of any person or

ANNIVERSARY OF TRAFALGAR.
Fashoda Question Inspires British
Enthusiasm.

London, Oct. 21.-Exceptionali interest
was taken today in the celebration of
the anniversary of the battle of Trafal-
gar on Oct. q, 1905, when the British
fleet under Admiral Nelson gained a
brilliant victory over the fleets Of
France and Spain, commanded by Ad-
miral Villeneuve. The cause of this
increased outburst of patriotism here
is the dispute with France over the
Fashoda question. which, in some quar-
tiers. is looked upon as a matter that
may possibly bring about war between
the two countries. The Nelson column
on Trafalgar square was profusely dec
grated and entwined with a spiral
chain of laurel leaves. while laurel
festoons hung from each corner of the
capital to the lions at the base, which
was deliberately embellished with an
chors, wreaths, flags and evergreens,
with a background of crimson cloth.
There were also floral shields in each
corner. inscribed with Nelson's great
victories, st. Vincent, >CamDer-
