through MS term Of office, and at the end
Of his first years administration ne said:
And with a reduction Of nearly half a
million dollars in the assessed valuation
OF city property, it necessarily compelled
me 70 double my efforts in strictness OF
economy to attain the favored point to
which We have already reached in the
short space OF one year. Since the begin

taxpayer for sidewalks and grading and

After referring to a number Of damage
suits settled and the extras paid for the
city building, he added: NO laborer or
employee Of the city was ever forced 70
discount his time or wait longer for his
pay than the time required TO verify and

Mr.. Carey was a great believer in the
board Of trade as IT then existed in Wich-
tia. He believed that the board had by
its concerted and united action accom-
plished a great good for the city. II that
was true for one thing, why not another:
If true for a board Of trade, why not for
the city administration His motto was:
In orderto make our administration sue
cessful We must be honest with ourselves
and honest with the people Let there
be no contention among the council ex-
cept that noble contention, or rather emu
ladon, 70 see who can best work and best
agree"
He was a man Of struct integrity. He
was friend Of Iaboring men and made
special efforts during his administration
TO see that they were paid and paid
promptly. This was a promise he made
at the beginning Of his term, and a sub
ject for congratulation afterward that he
had kept that resolve When he finally
made up his mind it was practically i'm
possible to change him. He came to con-
illusions promptly and was usually right.
He would not be moved by mere per-
s0nal interests II he did not believe the
position 70 be a correct one. This was his
motto in private as well as in public life:

TO assign specific reasons for the price
movements in today's stock market as it
was yesterday when the general tendency
was in the opposite direction. In other
words the days news was meageT and OF
no particular significance from financial
standpoint. The money market continued
firm, and there were the usual end-of-the-
week calculations as TO the showing to be
made by the banks in their weekly state
ment tomorrow. The firmness of money,
together with the cessation OF foreign sell
ing in the security market and rather
larger supply of commercial bills, was re-
iected IN a break in sterling exchange,
which circumstance was ignored to a sin
gulsr degree in view of the more delicate
balance outstanding in the foreign ex-
changes. The days trade reports and the
returns Of railway traffic were encouraging.
particularly as regards the latter. in the
cases of the st. Paul and Union Pacific.
Bank officers did not attempt TO forecast
the statement tomorrow, on the ground
that estimates based upon usually trust
worthy data were apt to be upset by the re-
suit upon the statement OF the formation

is getting today, are to be followed to-
morrow by low temperatures. There is a

advance. Liverpool was 1-Sd1-id higher.
California complains that the rains have
not materially relieved its drought. The

The tone Of the market yesterday was
better than at any time heretofore this
week. After an opening and morning
which indicated little, several of the lead
ers began to buy stocks and were followed
by the room traders. and before the day
was over advances had been made all over
the list, and a much better feeling was
evident. Atchison preferred was bought
heavily by the people who have been SELF
ing il for three days. the grangers were
strong. and the Flower stocks seemed TO
have excellent support. The commission
houses also were buyers. The gains for the
day were from a fraction TO or 6 points,
and quite as pronounced as the losses on
Thursday. II is difficult TO estimate the
Importance OF the movement. There had
been a weak market for three days, and
it was perhaps, quite natural that some
reaction should come. On the other hand,
some authorities seemed to believe that the
advance may extend considerably further
If, indeed, the bottom prices have not been
reached. Much may depend on the bank
statement today, about which the predic
tions are better than for several weeks.
II an increase in the reserves is recorded,
it would not be difficult for the leaders to
begin d bull campaign marking prices up
well above last nights close before the
end OF today's session. The whole stua-
lion, however. hardly warrants the predc-
tion that the coming week will be a bull
week. As Mr.. Flower said on Wednesday,
March is likely TO be traders market.
Money was a trifie tighter yesterday,
per cent being asked for call loans at one
time during the day. The rate at the close
was 12. II is not generally feared in the
Street, however, that the money question
viii enter largely into the situation. The
supply is too great.
The dividend on Federal Steel preferred
was declared yesterday at the expected
rate, l-2 per cent quarterly. During the
past few days there have been hints that
there would be no dividend. but they were
evidently put out by the bears and they
were little credited. Mr.. Flower began
buying the stock early in the session and
kept up his accumulations all day The
stock opened at Ss, went off fractionally,
and then advanced to SO, closing at the
top price. Many conservative people favor
the purchase of the sock at this price. A

FRENCHCABINET OUT
DEPUTIES REFUSE TO VOTE AS
ITS DEMANDS.
RESERVATIONS ACCEPTED
President Loubet to Consult With
nation OF New Cabinet-Moder-
ates Want Meline Returned to Pow
er-Brisson Also Talked Of.

Paris. June 13.--The French cabinet
resigned yesterday and the resigna-
tons have been accepted by President
Loubet. The president requested the
ministers to remain in their offices un-
til their successors are named. II Is
presumed that NJ. Loubet will summon
the presidents OF the chambers today
in order to consult them on the forma-
ton of new cabinet.
The immediate cause of the resigna-
ton of the cabinet was the refusal OF
the chamber of deputies to vote as the
government desired.
NJ. Dupuy and his colleagues
held brief but cordial interview with
President Loubet. The president ex-
pressed thanks for the support that ne
has received from the retiring MEM
bers, adding that he would always re-
member their services gratefully. Du
puy was agreeably surprised at Lou
bets cordially.
The moderates hope to securc the
return of NJ. Meline to power. The
revoluntionaries hope for a more toll
Grant man than Dupuy. This is the OK
PLANTATION of yesterdays voting, result
ing in the downfall of the cabinet. The
supporters of the government only
numbered 173 recruited for the most
part from the ranks of the mooerate
radicals. Many deputies greed that
the Dreyfus affair is largely RESPONSE
BILE for the present crisis. All the royal
lists and many radicals demand that
their share of responsibility must he
brought home to Gen. De Boisdefre
and Gen. MERCER. At the same time
those taking this view have been all
along persuaded that Dupuy would
never proceed to that extreme. Ger
tainly there Is no denying the fact that
the question of the final settlement OF
Dreyfus hangs like dead weight On
the situation and will prove
a great obstacle in the settlement of
the present crisis. OF the statesmen
already named in parliamentary circles
in connection with the premiership OF
the new cabinet, those most iavorably
mentioned are NJ Raymond Poincare,
deputy for Meuse, who was minister OF
public instruction at the time of the
Dreyfus eourt-martial, and who testi-
fed before the court of cessation that
Dupuy had recently said to him: Il
think we were victims OF big hoax
in 1884," NJ Tbeophile Declasse, min
lister Of foreign affairs In the retiring
cabinet; NJ Henry Brisson, who was
NJ Dupuy's immediate predecessor in
the premiership he has just resigned;
and Senator Pierre Waldeck Rosseau
who was minister OF interior In the
cabinet Of Gumbetta and again in the
Ferry cabinet
