New York Stock, Money and Grain
Market Review.
(Prics, Mccormick s. Co.'s Specia
Letter)

New York, August s5.-The afternoon
stock market was dominated by an unex-
pectsdly unfavorable bank statement to-
morrow. On account of the interior
movement and the New York sub btreas-
ury operations loss of 50, 496, 900 in cash
was reported and banks were generally
of the opinion that the kan account
would show decided increase as a result
OF the weeks speculation. There was q
general impression on the floor that q
decrease Of material proportions would be
shown in tomoTrow's bank statement and
this expectation proved to be controlling
factor in the movement
: The hear nammering affected
about every stock and whatever aggres-
siveDess was shown came mainly from
the short interest with practically no
pressure from liquidation. U. p. oontin-
ued very strong. closing at practically
the highest prices of the day. Large
blocks of stocks changed hands On the ex-
pected increase in the dividend rate In
near future. Perhaps the feature Of the
afternoon dealings was the somewhat
sensational advance in Consolidated Gas.
RumoTs that the New Amsterdam Gas
company were endeavoring to get control
of the stock induced buying and scared
a considerable short interest into covering
their contracts. From 175 la the stock
rose to 1so and closed within half point of
that figure. Sugar was about the weak
est stock on the list. On all rallies there
seemed to be liberal selling by two or
three prominent houses identified with
the stock. The general list closed lower
than last night in the majority of issues
with the tone in the main fairly steady.
1t was rumored that very prominent
banking house had reduced its rate Of in
terest on outstanding lpans from I-2 to
3 per cent.

PORTANCE OF GOVERNORS ACTION.
Albany, June l2 (speciaD.-Governor Roosevelt is
in great danger Of being accused by the Re
publican organization Of an intention OF smashing
the machine along the line of the States canals
That Of course would be great calamity
few days ago the Governor stated that here
after many Of the high places in the State Canal
Department would be hlled by the promotion TO
such vacancies as should occur OF men of lower
rank and not by the appointment Of new
men from outside OF the Canal Department The
Governor said he had been led into adopting this
policy in consequence Of being informed that the
Canal Advisory Commission had discovered. while
journeying through Canada lately. exceptionally
well qualified canal officials In charge OF the Wei
land Canal and that this ability due in large
degree TO the fact that these Canadians had been
long in the public service, and were not required to
medde with political primaries.
Colonel John n. Partridge, the Superintendent OF
Public Works. following out this policy OF the
Governor. appointed to-day Houston Barnard
Assistant Superintendent OF Public Works for the
Western Division. in place of Albert II. Porter, Of
Niagara Falls who has just resigned the place for
personal reasons. Colonel Partridge did not ask
any Republican organization TO recommend Mr.
Barnard. In fact. Barnard had no political pull"
He simply had attracted Superintendent Partridges

Inspector of earthwork. Superintendent Aldridge
appointed him an Inspector and he became an
assistant to j. Nelson Tubbs, the general inspector,
and the executive chief of the Canal Department

Last winter the attention Of Colonel Partridge
was called to Barnard by the excellence of his
reports upon various propositions advanced in the
Legislature for bridges here culvert there.
Most OF the bills calling for special canal apprO
priations were thus referred Mr. Barnard.
Colonel Partridge found also that the man

The Republican politicians of Erie County who
desired the appointment will be greatly dlsap
