PRESS BOAT SEIZED l Russians Jail Correspondents at New

 British Attitude-Pr.soner Released
 Special to the Forum.
 New ChWang, April 4.-Press boat Bawan, placed under arrest yesterday, was released today. The arrest was made because 1t passed between the lines, having come indirectly from Chemulpo, and it was released upon condition that 1t leave port. A new situation arises through the arrest and detention for some hours of British con- ductor on the Chinese railway at station onathe west-sile of the Liau river. This, with the detention of the Bawan and the prolonged stay of the British gunboat Espiegle, is interpreted as a British reconsider ation of the Russian jurisdiction in New Chwang as provi led ny the Russian declaration of martial law. It is thought it may bring action.
 Washington, D.

Loans on Farm Land.

Probably the most important feature of
the farm loan business at this time is the
fact that land values throughout the West
are on steadily-advancing plane. Farms
have a commercial rating according TO To-
cation, fertility and improvements. Lands
located outside of the zone of railroad
transportation have but little value except
for live stock production. Such lands,
though fertile and productive. would have
but little loan value because the income
would be lessened by the long hauls to
market That portion of the West has
practically been eliminated and in general
all the fertile lands of the Western States
are within reasonable reach of transporta-
ton Owing TO the exhaustion OF free
homesteads there has been a normal in
crease i'm value with the growth of cities
and expansion of population. As the in
weston would naturally assay ore and as
certain its quantity before purchasing min
ing stock SO the careful investor in farm
loans should ascertain the productive ca
pacity of land and its relation to good mar
kets The fact that the loan field of the
West Is to-day thoroughly understood
and its advantages are so well distributed
makes the risk almost nothing, and any in
telligent investor who uses his brains with
a fair exertion OF gray matter ought TO
be able 10 place his loans where the re-
turns will be beyond ouestion.-Bonds and
Mortgages.

la. " Thomson I

NEW YORK, April 23-The approval by
the mayor yesterday afternoon of the Rem
sin gas bill caused a firm and higher open

traders sold stock Oh the advance causing
a reaction. The general list was without
feature. Gables were firmer, but little in
terest was manifested abroad. The weak
ness in Mexican Central continued to-day,
accompanied by the usual reports of an as
sessment on the stock. There was en-
gagged to-day for shipment abroad on Tues
days steamer $4,000 gold. and it is ex-
pected That further engagements will fol-
low. The market. although remarkably
dull. had firm tone, and a little squirt oc-

NEW YORK, April 23.-Extreme dullness
prevailed in the stock market to-day and
the trading was merely nominal affair
During the first hour of business about
10000 shares of stock were traded in. and
this is sufficient comment in itself on the
dizziness. AS a matter of fact the market
has not been so dull in long time The
only news of interest was the engagement
of S45O0000 for export on Tuesday. This is
a comparatively heavy shipment but
with money at l per cent and no business,
there is no reason to worry about ii. Par
italy offsetting the gold exports was the
transfer of $1,50O00O gold from San Fran
cisco. The bank statement proved TO be
better than expected. There was an in
crease in surplus of nearly 100000 Loans
increased 3.1360oo, cash increased nearly
sl0,O00000, net deposits increased SO, 256. 600

The Financier this week says:
The striking features of the official state
ment of the New York associated banks
last week were more or less important gains
in every item, making new high records.
The surplus reserve was the highest of the
year, which fact is important, because Of
the probability that the payment of the Pan
States has secured clear title to the prop
erty, most likely be made soon.
Loans increased So 136. 800. which amount
was smaller than was expected. The expan-
sion reflects part of the corporation loans
which were effected in the previous week.

sterling collateral, which has been bought

was estimated from the traceable move
ments of money during the week. The dis
crepancy between the official and estimated
gain may be accounted for by the bank
average system.
Deposits increased So, $50 900. which amount
was $S43,30 less than the sum of the gain
in loans and in cash. Therefore the state
ment does not as closely balance as has
been the case in previous weeks. This, how
ever may be due to the bank merger which
became effective on Monday
