printed copies as he wishes when he
makes the document public The report

Intended TO be anything but an emery
ency ration. 1t says there were only two
witnesses who really testified against the
beef. General Miles and Major DAILY, the

this testimony. AS to such OF the canned
beef as was found to be Objectionable
the commission points out the effect OF
the tropical climate In producing lique-
faction OF the fat in the meat and the

palatable. Most Of the beef, though, is
found TO have been satisfactory for
emergency use, where fresh beef or beef

branches OF the main subject OF in
quiry. These sub-reports will be added
TO the principal statement of conclu-
sions handed to the chief executive.

THE FURRY IN STOCKS.
Over a Million Shares Changed Hands
Yesterday.

New York, Sept. 19.-There was a
stock market Monday of unusual vol
ume, the dealings being IN all over
million shares. At the start it was
swamped by selling orders and the
brokers whose customers ordered them
to sell at the market offered them down
to low points to tempt bidders who
were deferred by the condition of the
money market, or, being the confidence
of bear clique, knew at what point it
was their opportunity to come into
profitable dealings through shrinkage
of values.
In the furry some important declines
occurred but the market rallied at noon.
The days transactions had to do with
155 stocks OF these 1875 declined net
from 1012 points, in the case of Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg preferred, to
one-eighth of point. The aggregate
net decline of the 1876 stocks was 170ss,
or more than point and a quarter
each.
Fourteen stocks represented dealings
of over 100000 shares. Brooklyn Rapid
others We're American Steel, %. 900
shares; Sugar, 10000; Atchison pre-
ferred, $4,000; Burlington, 36.000: St.

At the opening of the market the
opening incidental to the liquidation
was Generalization for nearly an hour
The public gallery of the exchange was
crowded and at the barriers were hun
dredS of clerks and messengers to de-
liver or take instructions, orders and
information for commission houses and
their customers. The din was deafen-
ing and those who dashed to and fro
had time neither to be polite nor avoid
jOstling.
There was a great disturbance of
loans and many banks called and read
justed them with enormous scaling
down in the case of mixed collateral.
necessitating large additions to offers
Of blocks of stocks for advances. The
only partial measure of relief decided
on was an arrangement by several
banks to increase circulation by depos-
it's of bonds with the United States
treasurer
The general opinion among bankers
was that there is no acute situation to
deal with. It can be stated on authori-
ty that the holding of a meeting by
enther the clearing house association or
the clearing house committee to discuss
or relieve the money situation has not
been subject of conference among the
members. At the sub treasury prepar-
atiOnS were made to deal with the pay
ment of the October interest on the
coupon and registered 4 per cent bonds
of 1907
Bankers as a rule regarded the liqui-
datiOn of last week and today as re-
lieVing the situation and said much of
the money sent west is almost due
back here, SO that a drain for cotton
crop purposes will be offset.
