HEAVY SALES OF STOCKS THAT
VASTLY PUZZLE WALL STREET

tions that brought the early selling,
and the losses reported were almost
wholly on paper. as previous gains had
been But later episodes represent the
failure OF enterprises in which eNten-
siye capital has been embarked, at
demonstrably unproductive employ
ment. Capital thus sunk is capital
lost.
Comptroller Ridgeley's opinion, ex-
pressed before the Maryland and
Washington bankers, that "a large
percentage of the :oaning power has
gone into unproductive interests,
formulates the dread of Wall street
over the present situation. The re-
action in the iron and steel industries,
the high interest rates, especially on
mercantile paper, and the curtailment
of production in other lines. caused the
fear that other extensions have spread
to the industrial and commercial
lines. representing the additional ''un-
productive interests" to be followed by
liquidation and contraction.
The present course of the banks is
directed toward conserving the COM
mercial and industrial needs of credits
and to this end they are inexorable to
all promotions and financiering pro-
jects. The miscarriage of these pro-
jects Is still the cause of most of the
liquidation.
While the great majority of Wall
streets prominent men show decid-
ed disinclination to talk for publica-
tion, inquiry among the very highest
financial interests elicits statements
that nothing of a serious or untoward
character is apprehended.

''Moffat" road, for at 10 o'clock the
first passenger train sent over the line
made the trip from the union depot to
b point seventeen miles from the city
on the line known as the Steamshovel

WOULD FIX VALUE
OF SILVER MONEY

City of Mexico, Sept 27-The report
of Mexico's monetary commissioners
sent abroad is published. Among the
more Immediately interesting points
and suggestions are the following
In Russia and in England especially,
the immediate establishment of gold
standard in China is regarded as al
most impracticable.
In the monetary system that is rev.
commended for the purpose of bringing
about fixity of international exchange
the price in gold of bar silver. and the
value in gold of silver money are alb
solutely disassociated. The former may
soutely dissociated. The former may
fiuctuate in the market, whereas silver
money will always have a fixed value
in gold-hence the stability of interna-
tional exchange. The fixed value in
god will be maintained by the govern
ments in the following manner:
First-By closing the mints 20 the
free coinage of silver
Secondly the fixing of the ratio
between gold and silver by the govern
ments.
Thirdly the legal tender character
OF the currency for the payment and
Fourth--By reason of its being the
only money in which duties and taxes
will be paid as it is supposed that
there will be no gold in circulation.
Fifth-By limitation of the quantity
of silver money coined exclusively for
the interior currency of each country.
SiXth-By the creation of reserve
funds in gold in those countries in
which the foregoing conditions are not
sufficient to maintain the stability of
international exchange.
The whole of TINS mechanism is
based on the fixity of value in gold of
silver money.
The commissioners go on to say that
all the economists whom they consult
ed in Europe pronounced the closing Of
the mints to the free coinage of silver
to be absolutely essential to the success
of any plan for stabilizing the value of
the peso.

some ten days ago.
This afternoon men were searching

minutes and thirty-five seconds The
scale was so arranged as to bring the
arm, leg and back muscles into play.
Each lift of the beam under which he
stopped raised 1000 pounds dead

daily, consisting of three eggs, one
half loaf of whoe-wheat bread, fruit,
either oranges, grapes, apples, or ba-
nanas, cereals, and nuts, and one glass

YELLOW FEVER
THREATENS TEXAS

Laredo, Texas, Sept, 22.-The yellow
fever seems to be on the increase in
this city, despite rigorous efforts that
are being taken to stamp it out. Two
deaths and twelve new cases were re-
ported at the close of the day.
DR.. Guiteras, in his house to house
canvass to-day, saw many cases Of
fever and at the conclusion of his days
examination made the announcement
that twelve of the cases were genuine
yellow fever.
Laredo presents sad appearance,
all those who could get away having
departed for points north of the state
of Texas. and for points south. 1t is
estimated that nearly four thousand
people have fled from here since the
scare began.
The city is now quarantined
against it in all directions in the state
and no person can get beyond the linn
its of Webb county. Other Texas
counties have established a shot gun
quarantine and are turning back all
who are endeavoring to get away N
coaches, buggies and carts. The quar-
antine applies to all persons. freight
baggage, express. mail of other matter
originating in the city of Laredo or
points south, the only persons having
authority to leave the corporate limits
being the health officers of the state of
Texas and the United States.
The work Of placing the city in a
thoroughly sanitary condition is being
carried on under the supervision of
DR.. Guiteras and corps of expert as
sistants.

New York. Sept 29.-Wall street
spent another gloomy day yesterday
which was devoted mostly to trying to
puzzle out where the unonding stream
of liquidation came from and what
caused H. Information on the subject
or even authoritative opinions We're ex
tremely hard to get. II is pointed out
that the great bankers and capitalists
were not heard of in warning last year
during the high range OF prices, while
they were seeking a profitable market
for their holdings at that level. From
this ii is inferred that the buyers of a
class which decides market movements
would not be heard of melting others
to buy If they were themselves seeking
securities on cheap terms in the pres
ent market.
There is. in fact, rather a notable
lack of public quotations of authorities
pointing to the cheapness of stocks,
which has been heard from time TO
cline and at price levels considerably
above the present. But it is equally
true that men seeking market to re-
alize ready money at forced sale of Sc
curities are not likely to miss any
means of concealing their transactions.
The source of selling orders in the
present market is a battling mystery.
and inferences usually drawn from the
personality of the brokers employed
are almost invariably at fault.
The conditions which prompt the
liquidation and probable limits Of this
extent are consequently the subject OF
grave disquiet and apprehension. 1t

MONTANA BANDITS
THREATEN TRAINS

Helena, Mont, Sept. 27.-Because
The Northern Pacific Railway Company
refused to comply with the demands of
q gang of dynamiters to deposit large
sum of money at point between Car
,ison and Missoula, no less than four
attempts have been made within the past
two weeks to carry out the threat to
"blow the property of the company in
Montana off the map" as expressed in
the ultimatum.
AS yet no serious damage has result
ed, although the cow-catcher and head
light were blown off passenger en-
gine in the Helena yards and the tracks
ehave been torn up to greater or less
extent.
The Pat Grove plan of securing
money was delivered to the company
officials about three weeks ago, but the
fatcs have just become public.
The notice, which was sent to Gen
eral Passenger Agent Fee and General
Hannaford, at first demanded
s25, 900 and then $4,000 be given to the
engineer of light engine, to be deliv-
cred by him at designated point west
of Garrison on certain date and at a
given signal from the bandits.
Instead the railway officials essayed
to capture the robbers by ruse which
however. failed ignominiously. The
light engine was sent out as directed
and the supposed package of $4,000
was in plain view.
Approaching the spot appointed, the
engine slowed down, but before it came
to full stop second light engine, on
which there were dozen or more
heavily-armed men, hove in sight. A
search was made of the immediate vi
cinity, but none Of the conspirators
were to be found.
The railway officials have since been
warned that because of their "trifling"
the original threat would now be car
ried out.

ALFALFA FOR cows.

The Sacramento Bee says that it is the opinion of the most eX- perienced in the matter that the production of alfalfa is an es. sential to the successful prose- cution of dairy interests in Cali fornia. The days of the old fashioned mountain dairy are gone. The market demand now is for creamery butter, and the product of small travehng dairies is no longer sought by dealers. The output of individuals is too uncertain in it's quality, and generally speaking of too low a grade to find favor with GUS toners in competition with but ter bearing the stamp of a first class creamery. It is the uni form excellence of the product of we'll managed creameries that gives them the control of the market, along with the tendency in all lines of production to de velop the processes and methods that are most economical and scientific.

THE NILE AND THE COLORADO

One of the three great irriga- tion works of the Nile valley is known as the Delta Barrage, at a point about twelve miles from Cairo, where the river Nile di- videS into two branches. It was begun seventy years ago, and was only completed during the year 1902. The consuming of so much time in its construction was due to imperfect or wrong engineering at the beginning, and also at later periods; besides an immense amount of work that had been too hastily done was worse than useless as much of it had to be reconstructed. In this and other ways the work was retarded many years, when competent engineering and care ful, safe construction would have completed the great works in a very few years. The whole of the original plans were finally abandoned and the barrage was completed by the English gov ernment from plans and esti- mated drawn by an English en- gineer. The entire cost of the work from the beginning Gn 1858 was about $l3, ,00Q,0O0. At first glance this seems an enormous outlay, but when one learns of the great results if falls tO com
