INERTIA IN STOCKS
BANK STATEMENT BRINGS A
SLUGGISH RECOVERY ABOUT
Reserve Item Is a Great Surprise -
Movement Is Merely Fractional and
Not Maintained-The Close Is Erreg-
ular and Very dull.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Today's stock
market was almost inert throughout.
The appearance of the bank statement
caused a sluggish recovery from early
depression. but the movement was
merely fractional, and was not main.
tanned, the closing being irregular and
still very dull. The reserve item in the
bank statement proved a surprise, the
decline in cash resources being report
ed at only $4,000 in face OF an appar-
ent outward movement of cash during
the week of between So, 000, 900 and $4,-
100000. Bank officials were at a loss to
explain the discrepancy, but some Of
them asserted that there had been con-
siderable receipts of currency from
Chicago and the West during the week
and the explanation was hazarded that
this movement might have served to
offset the heavy outgo to Baltimore and
Pittsburg and the cotton regions.
The failure of the customary de-
mand from the West for currency at
this season has been the subject of
much comment in banking circles, but
that there should have been so conSid-
cradle movement in the contrary di-
rection in the middle of October is
quite unprecedented. 1t was suggested
as possible that local trust companies
ndu mace transfers or cash deposits to
the clearing house banks.
Reported Trouble in ST. Louis.
London's uneasy feeling over the war
outlook in the far East had some slight
effect In the local market, and there
was a repetition of rumors in circula-
ton for several days, which have been
as often denied, of an institution In
trouble at st. Louis There was a de-
post of 100000 at the subtreasury to-
day for telegraphic transfer to st.
Louis. The variety of the demand for
bonds was as conspicuous as for sew
eral days and the number of quota
tons on the tape exceeded in number
and variety those for stocks Tor a good
deal Of the time. A recession to So in
United States Steel preferred was the
unsettltng influence at the close.
There is general agreement in Wall.
street that the stock market has offered
surprisingly good resistance to the de,
velopments of the week, which were
undeniably serious in their aspect.
The breadth and activity of the bond
market have been pointed out The

IT WORKS SMOOTHLY.
Native Governor of BnIacan Sends in
His Annual Report.

Washington, May 16.-The bureau of
insular affairs of the war department
has received the annual report of Senior
Pablo Tecson, governor of the province
of Bulacan, P. l., for the year 1902. The
report says:
THE political situation of the prov
ince could not be more satisfactory.
Since I took possession of the govern
ment there has not been noted the least
perturbation of public order, but on
the other hand have observed that
American sovereignty is now so firmly
established that it is reflected in the
confidence and faith which the inhab-
itants feel when they see the efforts the
government makes IN carrying out
their exceedingly favorable promise.
AS an eloquent proof of this we cite
the ease with which the taxes were
collected, especially the land tax which
is so new in this country and to the
payment of which the province re-
sponded with such patriotism, notWith-
standing the agricultural crisis through
which it has passed, and is now pass
ing. Small bands of Ladrones. the re-
mains of the past revolution still exist
in the province. engaged in stealing
animals, making highway assaults
upon isolated roads and settlements,
but having, however. no political sig
nificance. These small bands are fast
disappearing owing to the constant
persecution Of the constabulary, local
police and the provincial volunteers
The governor mentions how agrlcul-
ture has suffered from the loss of ami
mails, and the plague of locusts. He
also gives quite a list of bridges, both
of wood and stone, that have been con-
structed and roads have been improved
In speaking of public instruction he
reports that education has not develop
ed as it should for the following rea-
sons:
First, the scarcity of Filipino teach
ers: second, the lack of law compelling
the attendance of children, when their
parents through apathy or ancient Gus
tom do not wish to send their children
to scleol: third the continued calami-
ties that have befallen this province
during the year 1902
He urges that Filipino teachers be
assigned to assist the Americans in
their task of teaching English.
The hygienic condition of the prov
ince. adds the report, is highly satisfac-
tory and this is due doubtless to the
persevering and intelligent efforts of the
president of the provincial board of
health, seconded by the municipalities
who enforce the sanitary laws in their
respective Jurisdictions. In the cholera
epidemic Just past the provincial presi-
dent was found lending his personal
aid in the most infected pueblos of the
province. There occurred only 1920
deaths from cholera in the whole prov
ince. which contains approximately 2l4,-
600 inha bitants.

Orient Decides to Take in Three Good
Oklahoma Towns,

AhAH4CuA Towns.
Wichita, Kan. May 16-A. NJ. Denny
is home from a trip to Oklahoma, where
he Went in the interest of the Union
ToWnsite and Real Estate company
connected with the building Of the Orr
ent, and is enthusiastic in his report
of the progress of Inc work and the
outlook for a reign of prosperity all
along the line.
During his trip he attended big
drawing of town lots at Thomas, which
is to be on the line of the Orient and
as a representative of the Orient pro-
cured some good lots, one OF them the
grand prize, valued at 81 900.
Thomas is in the northeast corner of
Custer county, seven miles south Of the
South Canadian and is located in one
of the richest sections Of Oklahoma. It
has a population of about d thousand
people, and has a live. up-to-date lot
of business men. who propose to make
it one OF the good towns of that sec
ton.
There was a large crowd Of people
from all over the country" said Mr.
Denny, and great interest was taken
in the drawing. There were 1858 lots
to be drawn. and every man who PAID
the price got a lot of some kind. There
were no blanks"
There were all kinds of amusements
for the crowd including a band of In
dams, who INDUCED in foot races and
horse races, target practice with bows
and arrows, ana even a war dance. II
was quite an attraction. he said for
the many eastern people who were
there at the drawing.
The original survey of the Orient road
passed a mile and a half west of Thorn
as but by an agreement recently made
between the people of that place ard
the Orient company the line viii pass
through the town. AS it already has a
branch of the Frisco. this will give it
two good roads. By the changing of
the line to run through Thomas the ORR
ent viii also reach the towns of Custer
and AraDahoe, two other good towns
in Custer county. Arapahoe is the
county seat of Custer county and is the
only county seat in Oklahoma on the
line of the Orient.
w. c. Edwards is home from trip to
Carmen over the Orient road with Mr..
John G. Messie of Providence, r. l., a
friend of President Stilwell. He says
that Carmen is forging ahead rapidly.
The new passenger depot is nearly COM
pleted and there is talk of building a.
large freight depot there at once. The
tracklayers have crossed the Eagle
Chief and are pushing rapidly south
toward the North Fork of the Canadian,
which they win reach in a few days.

MIKE WAS MAKING MONEY.
New Brakeman Intended to Stay
WITT a Good Thing.

Here is one that young man, who
knows good story when he hears it,
heard one railroad man tell another in
a depot up the line the other day:
I'VE picked I'D a new Irishman some
where up-country, and set him to work
brakin' on a construction train at
cents mile for wages. One day when
him an me was on the train she got
away on one o. them mountain grades,
and the first thing we knowed she was
flynn down the track at about 80 miles
an hour, with nothin' in sight but the
ditch and the happy huntin'- grounds
when we come to the end I twisted 'em
down as hard as I could all along the
tops and then, of a sudden. I see Mike
crawlin' along toward the end of one
of the cars on all tours, with his face
the color of milk. I thought he was
gettin' ready to jump, an see his I'm
ish if he did
Mike says. you'll be killed.
Don't jump.
He clamps his fingers on the run
min board to give him a chance to turn
round, and, lookin' at me contemptu-
ously, answers:
Jump. is it, Do yez think I'd be
afther jumpins an me maxim money

MARSHALL'S CONCERT.
Programme for Sunday Includes Some
New Music

Probably the most satisfied man in To-
neka last Sunday was an cid gentleman
from Boston who attended the band con
cert at Garfield park. He sat in front OF
the band stand and attracted considerable
attention on account Of being such an at
tentive listener. After the concert the Old
gentleman said he heard the band in Bos-
ton in 1885. during the Knights Templar
c0nclaVe. He stated he was on the way to
California, and, upon buying Topeka pa
per IN Kansas City, saw the band was to
give concert and stopped off for the sx-
press purpose of hearing it. He also said
out of the 146 bands who took part in the
parade in Boston Marshalls band was
pronounced the best. He refused to ac-
cept an admission ticket only on the pay
ment of a dollar and much surprised
that the attendance was not larger. With.
the exception Of one number Sundays pro-
gram is composed of music which the
band has not yet played in public. The
concert will commence at 3 o'clock and

avenue by the first OF June as at first
intended. The passenger department.
