MONTANA SENATORsHIP.
C1arke's Friends Confident That
He Will be the Choice.

HELENA, Jan. 2.-The Legislature
met at noon to-day and organized by
the election of T. P. Cullen of Daw-
SON County as President pro TEN of the
Senate, and H. c. Stiff of Missoula
County as Speaker Of the House.
The prominent candidates are Will
lam Clarke, the Butte banker; ex-
State Senator Mats of Anaconda, who
represents the Daily element, and w. G..
Conrad Of Cascade County. Indica-
lions point to a deadlock for time, as
it is believed no one of the candidates
goes into the Assembly with major
ity. Clarke's friends are sanguine of
ultimate success.
Several years ago Clarke was the
regular Democratic caucus nominee
but his election for Senator was de-
feated by Days control of a minority
of his party in the Legislature. Indi-
cations point to a protracted and holly
contested fight.

Wall Street Review.

New York, Sept. 12.-Values of secur-
tiles suffered today from further
drastic liquidation Of speculative ac-
counts induced by the contraction OF
loans by the banks for the purpose Of
replenishing their depleted reserves
Some sentimental effect was produced
by the sudden death of Cornelius Van

was not wholly unexpected and thos
stocks which the name is most associ-
ated gaev evidence Of support.
Late in the day after loans had either
been re-adjusted or paid off there were
some notable recoveries In prices, not
a few of the railroad stocks rising
above yesterdays level. In tho final
hour there were rather urgent de-
mand from the shorts to cover which
helped the rally. Some stocks gave the
appearance also of demand from bar
gain hunters.
All grades of stocks were thrown up
on the market during the day as the
rate for call money was marked up by
successive stages or loans were called
outright. The standard railroad sticks
suffered in equal degree with the in
dustrials as evidenced by the weakness 8
