POOR SHOWING OF BANKS
THIS HAS A POWERFUL INFLU-
ENcE ON STOCK MARKET
Pitted Against IL Is the Animated
Strength of the Wabash Securities
Influence First Named Is Lessened
by the Ease in Money.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE animated
strength of the Wabash securities in
the stock market today contested for a
prevailing influence with the very poor
showing made by the banks. The in
huence of the bank statement was less
ened by the notorious ease with which
loans can now be obtained. 1t is well
understood also thai the statement
was complicated by the change in the
capital account of the Western Ma
tional bank, due to merger operations.
1t is estimated that the loan account is
o~Yerstated to the extent of more than
four millions by reason of this adjust
ment. The "a expansion is>still left
at a large figure, and it is believed
that some of the effect of the $35, 000,-
OO0 Pennsylvania loan expansion is
thrown over from last week. The ST.
234,80 decline in cash reserves is
more than twice as much as was indt-
Gated by the known movements of
money. The 5000, 900 payment to the
subtreasury on account of the Central
Pacific note was made last Saturday,
and not figured for a full week in the
averages.

UNION PARK STATION.

The matter of a fire station for
Union Park is now up to the finance
committee of the city council. The
petition was sent to the council with
out recommendation by the commits
sioners because 1T would require spe-
cial legislation to appropriate money
for such a purpose before the end
of the fiscal year, which closes with
the month of May. The council re-
ferred the matter to the finance com
mittee.
Chairman Hanley favors the appro-
priation, as does Chief Meyers of the
fire department both being of the
opinion that an equipment such as
that now installed at No. station
should be provided.
1t is expected that the finance
committee will make a report at the
next meeting of the council.

of the rules, but found opposition, and
the bill went over until tomorrow.
Resolutions were offered in the house
for two constitutional amendments,
one for equal suffrage and the other to
allow county superintendent OF
schools to hold more than W o terms.
House bills were introduced to pro-
vide for oil inspection, limiting ex-
emptions, making insane patients
from soldiers homes a state charge, a
free text book bill, selling delinquent
taxes to the lowest bidder, and for a
state sheep inspector. A resolution
was presented by Smith OF Hand ask.
ing congress to remove h duty on
coal as an obsolete measure.
Senate bills were introduced to pro-
vide a legal code Of bell signals for
mines, and to provide for docketing Of
judgments of the United States courts
with circuit court clerks. The senate
bill to create a board OF fence viewers
called out a contest on an attempt to
pass it, and, after several amendments
had been tackled on, it was sent back
to committee.
Both houses passed resolutions OF
adjournment from Wednesday, Jan.

ment will be taken Immediately after
