Cuba had said that Cuban labor was
as we'll paid as farm labor in Kansas
or any part of the United States. Mr.
Burton said that if this We're true the
from the people of the United States.
He also urged that If the plantation
owners We're able to pay Kansas prices
they could not be in desperate straits,
as they had been represented Nor, he
added, could it be said that the Cuban
government was in position to ask as
Sistance from anyone. for when Cover
nor Wood surrendered the reins of gov
ernment at Havana there were $500, 900
in the Cuban treasury and the govern
ment had an assured small income Of
SllO00DOO- His conclusion was that as
neither the government. the planters.
nor the Cuban labOrers had any need IF
the proposed assistance. it was unfair
and unjust to ask the farmers of this
county to sacrifice their own interests
fer the purpose OF granting an annuity
OF f1Ne OF six million dollars.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Oct. 3.-The principal
news in to-day's stock market turned
out to be untrue, but the false report
was effective in breaking the market
and throwing it instantly into state
of confusion as great as that of last
Monday.
The report. which was circulated i'm
mediately after 2 o'clock. that the con-
troller of the currency had overruled
the decision of the Secretary of the
Treasury to release cash reserve held
by the banks sgainst government de-
posits, offered a dire prospect to specu-
lators. Such a decision would throw
the money market situation back into
a strained condition as that which
threatened a panic last Monday. The
situation in fact would have been
worse. in that the forces of depletion
of bank reserves have continued in op-
Grafton during the week, while some
advantage has been taken in the loan
market of the better conditions result
ing from the treasury measures To-
day especially there was some conspic-
uous resumption of speculative activity
on the part of various pools, notably
that in Colorado Fuel on the ground
that the election ordered by the court
will settle the next question of control
of the property; in ST. Paul by the
same interests which caused its recent
advance; and in the coalers on the cir
culation of constant rumors regarding
the outcome of the conference at
Washington.
The higher level of prices thus at
tanned seemed to aggravate the drop
when the canard was put out regard
ing the alleged action of the controller
of the currency. The fact that the con-
troller was present and in consulta-
ton, x.rsfh Aa
ury during his visit in New York when
his action was taken was lost sight of,
and the speculative public seemed to
swallow the story without question.
The break in prices ran all the way
from l to nearly points in the active
stocks. The market closed with vio-
lent rally in progress, caused by the
denial of the story. To-morrow's bank
statement viii contain an additional
item to show the government deposits
with the banks, in order to differenti-
ate the other deposits against which
% per cent. cash reserve is REQUIRED.
1t is supposed that the item of govern
ment deposits will be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 900, thus reducing the
reserve requirement and benefiting the
surplus by about SIC, 900, 900. The heavy
demand for exchange to-day for next

New York. Oct. 3.-The stock market
underwent violent fluctuations in the
afternoon in consequence of conflict
ing reports as to the action of con-
trOller of currency said 10 have been
taken which would have repudiated
Secretary Shaw's action in releasing
the reserve held heretofore by national
banks against government deposits.
Late in the afternoon il was announced
from Washington that Controller
Ridgely had made a ruling against one
of the national banks contrary to the
spirit of Secretary Shaw's previous ac-
tions. These reports revived appre-
hension of fresh monetary difficulties,
and a flood Of selling orders swept
prices down from TO points, in the
case of st. Paul the break being some
what larger than the maximum break
mentioned. The market sharply raj
lied on denials of these reports, and
lack of official confirmation. Sales to-
day $4,000 shares.

AFTER SHIP OWNERS VISIT
TWO DANISH STEAMERS IN PORT
AND ANOTHER TO FOLLOW.

believed in shipping Circles That
These Vessels Are to Come Here
in Larger Numbers-Matters of
Interest to shippers and Seamen.
As a result of a visit to Savannah
by Danish ship owners early in the
season a number of Danish vessels are
to visit the port, with the prospect
that these vessels will before long be
largely represented in the shipping.
There are now in port the Danish
steamships Nordfarer and Polartsjer-
men, and the Nordkap is expected daily.
When she arrives there will be more
Danish steamships here than ever be-
fore in the history of the port.
Mr.. ]. B. Hoist, Danish consul. has
complete records in his Office of all
Danish vessels to visit Savannah. His
records show that from 1869 TO 1902, a
period of thirty-three years. exactly
forty-nine vessels flying that flag have
visited the port. In 1901 there was
one bark, in 1899 one steamer, in 1898
two banks, in 1897 two banks, in 1896
one bark and a barkentine. in 1895 one
steamer, in 1894 there were no Danish
arrivals at all to arrive here. Five
steamers have already arrived this
year. with another due which will
make more than as many as have been
here for over thirty years. To large
extent the increase in these arrivals is
an indication of the confidence traders
sailing vessels under that flag have
in Savannah's harbor. The Danish
vessels to load so far this season have
taken on good cargoes.
The American Bureau of Shipping
recently classed and rated the follow
ing vessels in the Record of Ameri-
can and Foreign Shipping" Ameri-

a regular steamship line will be
