Secretary Cages Plan to Relieve the
Tension in Opersiffons.
The Treasury Department had scarcely
opened for business this morning when ap-
plications began to come in from the banks
to receive Government deposits Of internal
revenue funds. according TO the offer made
by Secretary Gage late yesterday after
noon.
The Secretary was in almost constant
communication by long distance telephone
with the New York Subtreasury until the
hour of IL O'Clock when he was Obliged 70
attend the regular Tuesday meeting of the
Cabinet. Then Assistant Secretary Wander
lip took his place and received the appli-
cations by telephone and telegraph from
the subtreasury.
There were also several applications for
deposits from banks in Cincinnati, Chica-
go, St. Louis, and even from San Francisco.
At 1880 o'clock the applications from the
New York banks had amounted TO sS.000,-
900. OF these, according to word received
by telephone. United States bonds had act
ually been deposited. as required by law,
to the amount OF about $4,000, 900.
The remaining 81, 0O0. 900 in bonds depos-
tied as security was expected in an hour
or two.
New York at noon amounted to about S3,-
600 900. .r
The Treasury officials believe that the
promptness with which the Governments
offer is being accepted is an indication that
the banks rely on the Governments plan
as an adequate means OF relief In the pres
ent emergency

STOCK FEATURES IN BOSTON.
Nothing Definite Concerning tn
broadway Banks Future.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 19-The stock
market opened in feverish way this morn
ing. The small sway. however. led most
of the brokers to believe that it was sim
ply an ordinary fuctuation. such as might
have occurred without any particular
stress in the money market.
Rumors are still current as to the final
disposition OF the Broadway National Bank
The story was started late yesterday that
the bank would be open within thirty six
hours. This morning there is no particular
sign CT that becoming a fact. Those who
attempt to argue the matter say that in
asmuch as it will take over three we ks
according TO the statement of Mr.. Chaplin,
the assignee of the Squire plant, to go
over the books, they do not see how the
bank can be opened till the full chara- ter
of the books is known.
A new feature of the stock market this
burg Railroad was to fight the Boston and
Albany Railroad lease to the New York
Central. The story was official, apparent y.
and is confirmed this morning. The StiIe
directors. ]. R. Leeson, of Newton; James
E. Renfew. of Adams, and B. c. Plunkett,
as representing the States interest, are
the gentlemen interested. Their claim is
that lease of the Albany is apt to affe,t
the value of the States holding in the
Fitchburg through Gepriving that road of
part of its traffic.

signs OF CONFIDENCE
Stocks 0Jen Higher Than Last
Nights Closing Rates.
Initial Operations Are Fevcrish.
With Wide Fluctuations In Prices
rary Gains in Sugar Refining, New
York Central, and Other Securities.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-As was to be eX-
pected after yesterdays disturbing devel-
opments in the stock market, the initial
dealings today were very feverish, wide
fluctuations in prices appearing through
out the market. For the most part, how
ever, the market showed substantial ad-
vances above last nights final figures.
Some encouragement was derived from tie
fact that American stocks in London were
shown in the early new issues of these
securities materially above the local cos
ing level, and an improving tendency was
reported throughout the London market.
Consols. on the other hand, however, we're
quoted at a fractional decline, owing to the
belief OF an early new issue of these secu-
rites.
Confidence was further strengthened by
the knowledge that the associated banks
would undoubtedly take some extraordi-
nary action looking to the relief OF the
monetary situation, should the days con-
ditions warrant il. The action announ,a { |
by the Treasury of diverting the internal
revenue receipts to banks of deposit was
received with only negative satisfact on,
and it was not believed the situation would
be materially changed through the process.
The sharper gains at the opening were
made in Sugar Refining, New York Central
Rock Island. Tennessee Coal and Iron. Met
ropolitan also opened materially higher, but
reacted sharply The initial advances were
not fully retained in the subsequent deal
ings as fresh liquidations appeared in GER
tain quarters of the market and there was
little support except that arising from the
recovery of short contracts.
npa thnnsap nd dollars loaned
at 30 per cent at the opening of the Stock
Exchange. This rate was paid. The banks
have decided TO offer money freely and the
bulls refer to them as phiianthropists while
the bears sarcastically call them phiian-
thropists of the % per cent kind. Official
objection was made to 80 per cent being re-
corded as the opening rate the charge be-
ing made tina, the 100000 loan was made
in the interest of some loaners. Yesterday
the banks made large loans al 30 per cent
and big rate was secured today in nu-
merOus loans

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-In speaking of the

I'VE have examined all the trust COM
panies in New York in the past few weeks

Forced to suspend.

PORT JERVIS. n. Y, Dec. 19.-The Ma
tional Bank of Port Jervis did not open
for business this morning. A notice was
posted on the door signed by Francis
Marvin, president, and Thomas Sharp, vice
president. announcing that the bank had
temporarily suspended business because of
its inability to realize on its securities,
owing to the stringency Of the money mar
ket in New York

result of the recent defalcation of Lewis E.
Goldsmith. the assistant cashier, who a
few days ago took flight for parts un-
known. when he was wanted by the United
States marshal. The First National Bank
is in good condition to take care of the
business interests of the town.

The naws of the day, aside from that Of

meagre One or two earnings statements
were published. The Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company as was stated yesterday,
make fine showing. The net earnings
for the month OF November were $2S5 5,610,
an increase or ss1S.1 .190. The surplus for
the month was S239,0i7, an increase of
s219, JOG. The Surplus for the stock from
January to November so was S1.0iS s11,
an increase Of 1864, ,3SS. or. in other words.
about 400 per cent,- The total surplus Tor
the eleven months is excellent, but when
il is remembered that nearly the entire
amount has been made in the Fast four or
five months, the Significance of the figui es
is seen to be much greater. The November
rate of earnings would equal in year
So. .c00.000, and stbe November rate of sur
plus would equal 81 2,S00.C00. The back
dividends on tie preferred stock amount
to 100000. IL this is in full, there viii
remain of the years earnings about $780,
000 for the common stock. But on the
basis of the present rate of earning Chat

piling up IA per cent on the common siosk
beyond question. The contracts of the com
