LONDON MONEY MARKET
REMAINS UNSETTLED.
Bank Of England Makes Large Loan
to Settle Cash Credits For the Quar-
ter-The Outlook Favorable.

NEW YORK, April S-The Times Lon
don financial correspondent cables: We
have passed strait and in a none
tary sense are in a broad river again. But
It Is river betraying symptoms OF a
coming drought.
Dropping the simile, our money market
has this week had to borrow upward of
to help It through the stock exchange
settlement and end the quarter demands
for cash and credit
Added to previous borrowing this puts
the market over 100000 pounds in debt
to the bank One year ago the debt Of
half this sum. Perhaps the fact that
Easter and the end OF the quarter came
together increased the demand for as
sistance, and some Of the holiday cash
will doubtless come back. This, how
ever, Is scarcely worth weighing against
the increased poverty which gives 1t a
permanent trend toward dearness.
You may take It as certain that the
market win not be able to repay all this
money during the present quarter. For
a few days at time II may get free,
but such recurring stock exchange set
tlement will see the market forced to
loan on the bank, and as the months
pass, the dependence win increase.
Unless gold flows in from abroad, as
there Is no sign of It's doing, we must ex-
pect the money market to be subject to
spasms and tightness all the summer.
Do not, then, allow the present lowness
Of discount rates to deceive you. II the
bank cannot allow its rate to fall be-
low three per cent, and It assuredly
cannot In the present circumstances, the
open market is playing for bad fall by
driving its rate down to 2 per cent or 9
! little more.

see money as tight as ever on TIE next
stock pay day. In some respects the
demand for money on the stock exchange
this week was less than was looked Tor,
Less new money, mat IL, was required.
Btui the account waS extremely heavy
and Afforded striking evidence of the
absence OF free resources among large
capitalists. Bond. bullion and company
may seem richer on paper than ever,
because Of nomnaIiy owning greater
quantity Of securities. but these securities
are increassng1y unmarketable IN most
instances, and holders cannot shake
themselves clear.
Instead Of money raised by pledging
good securities being lent upon others
equally marketable, Il is sunk IN half un-
saiable colonial foans In underwrftoen

this way the market is smothered and

The opposition met with in California,
Mr.. Huntington stated. had prevented
this extension. He continued:
"As to what we propose to effect by

no Difference In the management OF the
road Work on the coast line extension
would be pushed, he stated. Being asked
II he favored a compromise with the

That is matter largely with our
legal department, though as for myself
l shall oppose any compromise which
gives the right TO any tribuna Eo re-
duce the rates of fares 80 long as they
are not above what will give a fair return
for the money Invested in creating these

DETROIT. April s.-Today's elections
in Michigan have not shown any very
marked change in the general political
complexion Of the state, which is nor
mally republican, but the result shows
quite heavy democratic gains in some OF
the larger cities, notably so in Detroit,
Grand Rapids. Saginaw, Jackson and
Kalamazoo. On generally light vote
the republicans held their own in the
smaller cities and throughout the rural
districts.
Circuit judges were elected in S6 judicial
districts. OF these about two-thirds of
the new judges, who were elected FOR
six-year terms, are republicans.
Republicans re-elect Judge c. B. Grant

majority of at least 10000. They also
elect Henry S. Dean and Eli r. Sutton,

Vain Boasting.

When our republican friends are
glorfying their party over the fact that
the government has money in the
treasury, would 1t not be q praise
worthy act of them to tell the people
that this state of facts has been
brought about by an excessive system
OF taxation. On everything we eat,
drink or wear, we are heavily taxed,
and on every bank check, receipt, ex.
press receipt, on every box or bottle Of
medicine, we use we have stamp
duty to pay. Millions Of money are
being squeezed out of the pockets of
the people of this republican manner
of taxation.
We can neither live or die, buy OF
sell without paying tribute to republi-
can legislation. and then the leaders
OF that party, after exhausting the
means of securing the peoples hard
earned dollars, boast of having money
on hcnd. Economy has no place In
politics, especially 80. II they can Sc
cure the money by taxing the people
The Dingley bill is tax gatherer-
taking from one man to enrich another
and what is left with the people, the
stamp duty secures. Great Is repub
licanism.
