Lawyers Who Went to Sitka
 on a Fools Brand.
NO DISTRICT JUDGE
Judge Johnson's Resignation Took
 Effect the Day Before the Lawyers Reached the Capital Very Unosr-
 tain When Court Wnl Be Held.

Morton E. Stevens. who returned on the City of Seattle yesterday, was one of the number of lawyers who went from here and Juneau on the last trip of the Cottage City to transact legal business at Sitks. They arrived there on Sunday, April [. and were certainly fooled in regard 10 their ability to transact any legal business. Judge Johnson had received from the At torney General an official notification that his resignation had been accepted, to take effect with the close of business on March ,Ist, just the day before the lawyers ar rived there. The lawpers conferred as to the legal status of the condition with which they were confronted and found that Alaska had no judge.
 When Alaska will get another one Is a question. Assistant district attorney Oaly, who returned to Juneau on the City of Se- attle, stated that he had heard in Seattle that Judge Melville C. Brown would start for Alaska on April 2sth or May roth, but that lt was rumorei in Seattle that he would not come to Alaska until the age limit in the pending law had been stricken out.
 This leaves matters in very uncertain condition as to when we will have court. Judge Johnson first called one at Skag. way for April 20. and later changed 1t to April g. But he issued no venire calling a grand jury and petit jury. and therefore nothing can be done for some time. even lf Judge Brown does arrive. It probably requires thirty days notice to call the juries, so this would bring 1t into June.
 Judge Johnson had several cases under advisement. but the acceptance of his re, signatlon rendered 1t impossible to give decisions, as he was no longer judge.
 The lawyers found the Commissioners office In Juneau In similar condition to tirst of the District -Juds~s -MsieoIm's resignation had been accepted, to date from April Ist, but no successor was ap. pointed and the office Is therefore vacant. Mr. Malcolm Is still acting as recorder, however. and collecting fees. but whether his acts are legal m " hereafter be ques- tin.

WANTS A TREASURER.
Mir. Peoples Idea of tho Status of
 tho Cemetery Fund.

E. R. Peoples says he understands his name Is being mentioned by D. X. Hukill as being one of the promoters of the mat ter of raising subscription for making re- pairs to the cemetery, and he wishes 1t made public that he has nothing more 10 do with the movement than that he has subscribed s1o to the fund, and will make payment when the proper time comes and to what he will consider properly .ap- pointed committee.
 MT. Peoples says he holds nothing against Mr. Hukill, but would suggest that some steps ought to be taken to have the matter taken up by representative tusi- ness men, and that they should appoint committee for the handling of the funds.

Train Delayed by Snow.

The train due from Bennett last evening did not get here until after midnight. It was delayed by snow. The sudden change in the temperature and the falling of more snow made 1t necessary to send out the snow blow. Only one engine was driving the plow and It was not strong enough to push It through on time.

BANKS SHOWED No GAIN
AND THIS DESPITE THE STEADY
INFLOW OF MONEY FROM IN
TERROR TO NEW YORK
GOLD EXPORTS NO BUGABoo
1t Excites Little Attention Among
the Leading F1nanciers-Banks
Needed Employment for
Money.

NEW YORK. May 26.-The Financier
says:
1.-The majority of the clearing house
banks of New York City did not i'm
prove their standing to an appreciate
extent last week despite the heavy
influx Of interior funds to this center.
The gains in cash were made, for the
most part, by several large institutions,
whose special operations account for the
change in other leading items. Thus the
increase in the loans and deposits of one
bank alone were fully as large as the
total advances made by all the banks.
Viewed in a broad light, however, the
statement must be regarded as favorable.
Money is being received in New York
from all interior points and the gain
made last week was double the average
for any similar period this month. How
long this inflow will continue cannot be
determined off hand, but the effect is
witnessed in the weakening market. The
demand does not indicate any great
pressure for accommodation. Both loans
and deposits are now much bigger than
at any previous period this year and
the cash reserve is in excess Of q per
cent, fully up to the average for the
year.
THE strong position Of the banks lies
in the fact that they have outstanding
case a sudden demand arose there would
be no difficulty in securing as much
money from abroad as was needed, de-
spite the fact that the movement OF
specie is now In the opposite direction.
1.-The gold export problem, to tell the
truth is not regarded as important, and
the outward consignments last week are
looked upon as special transactions more
than anything else. Up to the present
time the gold shipments have amounted
to about 81, 500, 900, but since April 26, when
gold engagements began the cash hold
ings of the bank have also expanded
nearly $1,000, 600 In the month just
ELAPSED loans have also expanded nearly
s18 500 600 and deposits about $z4,6oO,VVO'
despite the cash shipments to Europe
and the extra amounts required as re-
serve against new deposits, the actual
reserve is about as high as thirty days
ago.
I'm view of showing like this the
export question loses more or less of its
tntricacv. The only conclusion is that
gold was forced abroad in order to give
tbe banks some employment for their
money. that is to say in loaning to Tor
eigners. The crop this season this year
bids fair to be complicated by new bank
issues of money, but so far this has not
been a factor in the general SITUATION.
The general redemption of the two per
cent bonds coming at that time Will nave
much effect one way or the other

LITTLE DONE IN WHEAT
GRAIN MARKETS WE'RE IN A CON-
DITION BORDERING UPON
STAGNATION
NORTHWEST YET A FACTOR
Until There LIZ Rain 1t VIII Largely
Govern the Movement of Wheat
Prices-COrn and Oats
Were Weak.
NORTHWEST YET A FACTo1

CHICAGO, May 26.-The grain mar
kets ended a stagnant session today in
a rather weak condition, wheat q shade,
corn 2sq1zc and oats AQAc under yes
terday. Provisions closed 712@1213c down.
The wheat market was almost 100
small to be visible to the naked eye.
Northwest was still without sufficient
moisture to sprout the seed. Later,
principally out of sheer inactivity; the
market eased and the half session wound
up in an tnanimate condition. The pit
was all but deserted most of the day.
Cables were easy.
Primary receipts were 5S1 ,OO0 com
pared with 652000 bu last year. Minneap-
oils and Duluth reported 500 cars, against
215 last week and 662 a year ago. Local
receipts were q cars, none of contract
grade. Clearances in wheat and flour
G7A@67asc to 67lac, declined to 667sc and
closed shade under yesterday at SIC.
Corn was weak at the start. 1t grew
weaker as the session progressed, and
at the end was at its weakest. This was
because of increased farmers deliveries
and the favorable weather, combined
with slack demand. In this pit as well
ers, there was very lonely scattering
bunch of traders. July sold between
3714c and 36a4c, closing 3sq12c under yes
terday at $3.50. Local receipts were 500
cars.
With corn and wheat dull little could
be expected of oats. Those who expected
little were not disappointed There was
a fair cash trade, but the speculative
trade was fiat. July ranged from 21ss@
2l13c to 2l14c, and closed 1s@Ac down at
2A@3sc. Receipts here were 347 cars.
Provisions dragged throughout the SEES
sion, and towards the close became de-
cidedly weak. A weaker hog market,
the dizziness and the grain weakness
were the factors. July pork closed 1212c
under yesterday at $11.3212, July lard 10c
lower at $6.8272 and July ribs TIC de-
pressed at $3.50.
Estimated receipts Moday: Wheat, So;
corn, 565; oats 375; hogs, $4,000.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-05-27


NEW YORK, May 26.-There was no
change in conditions in the stock market
today. The depressing influence of Thurs
days failure continues to oYerhang the
market and to discourage any speculative
activity A large proportion of the days
actions in settlement Of the failed firm s
affairs. The firm of brokers whose buy
ing yesterday was said to represent
transfer of the accounts of the custo-
mers of Price, Mccormick & Co. was
again a conspicuous operator today. These
operations represent a re-entry to the
market of some Of the failed firm, to
whom loans were paid off when their
contracts were closed out, under the rule
Of the exchange, or whose commitments
are taken over from the suspended firm
by other houses. This operation is g sus-
tanning influence on prices, and was es-
pecially evident today in Union Pacific.
The prevalent belief that &he banks
which hold the firms collateral for loans
Will not, all Of them, throw the collateral
on the market for forced sale to liqui-
date the loans also served to relieve ap-
prehension to some extent.
Authoritative den1als of some Of the
rumors put in circulation of further finan-
c1aI difficulties was an influence towards
relieving depression. These factors it
Will be observed, were rather negative in
character, but they served to keep the
market pretty steady. The sharp rally
In cotton was a favorable factor. The
shorts covered in Sugar, railroad earn
lll6S were ISpOrl6Q 1dNOrdDl6, especially
the April statements of net earnings of
the Hooking Valley and the Atchisons,
and the strength of those stocks helped
the rest of the market. The closing was
nevertheless heavy at concessions from
highest prices.
American Ice declined further on the
prosecution instituted against the com
pany; Brooklyn Union Gas rose on belief
that it would benefit by the settlement
of the gas war, and Union Bag preferred
