Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Oct 5.-The call loan
rate touched the high level of the year
at 8 per cent. today, and the stock
market as a whole resumed the APP
pearance of last week. That is to say,
trading became dull and constrained.
but the undertone held firm. In to-
days market there was perceptibie
growth of opinion that money rates
are likely to be firmly held for some
time to come, and in some cases bank
eds look for months as the period OF
duration for higher money rate. Eff
forts We're made in speculative quar-
ters, however, to mitigate the infiu-
ence Of yesterdays furry in money by
attributing it TO special causes. The
rise of today to above the rate quoted
yesterday rather dissipated the effect
of this explanation. The high rate
had the effect, however, of attracting
loans from outside sources. and there
were large offerings on account of
banking institutions at other points.
Large additional arrivals of gold are
expected i'm London tomarrow and the
days decline in sterling rates here
leaves open the question Of New
York's ability to secure portion OF
this The continued pressure for
funds at Paris is believed to be due to
heavy losses involved in the collapse
of the sugar speculation in France
The days movement in the money
markets and in the international ex-
changes of the world offered no ex-
planatjon for the reported shipment
Of 81 1000 of gold from the Bank OF
France to London and the operation
was the subject of interested surmise
| in banking circles. The movement Of
prices of stocks under the restrain
| of the money market was not impor
tant but the upward tendency wa:
quite distinct during the latter part O
| the day. The tone of the market con
tinued undecided up to the close which
was irregular. Bonds were firm. To

The following from the Marion
News concerns very important rail-
road developments:
There has been a rumor going the
rounds for quite awhile that the
Southern and S. and w. were trying
TO make an agreement by which the
Southern is to use the tracks of the
S. and w. from Johnson City to Ma
rion and the S. and w. are to use the
Southerns tracks from Marion to
Rutherfordton and from there on a
burg. This rumor was revived Sun
and has been given wide circula-
ton. The arrival of Capt. Walker and
his corps of engineers in Marion and
the announcement that they were to
begin another survey from near the
mouth OF North Fork down the river
and up Muddy Creek via Dysartsville
to Rutherfordton. 1t seems that they
are contemplating the abandonment
Of the present survey on account of
having to construct tunnel nearly
a mile long. Some think that the en-
gineer corps has moved their camp
with a view of running line into Ma
rion to connect with the Southern. 1t
is all rumor, however, for no one
knows and are not likely to know for
quite a while. II the trackage ar
rangement is made it will insure the
railroad coming into Marion, at least. !"

TUNNEL SHAFT CAVES IN.
Battery Park accident Under II
Structure Holds Up Trains.

One Of the shafts which were sunk in Bat
terry Park at the lower State-st. side was the
means of closing that portion Of the work yes
terday afternoon, caused by the sheathing, tons
of earth and the snoring caving in. Fortunately
nearly a score OF Italian laborers who were
working in this shaft, at the river side
They we're able to scramble out safely, but one
man. named Fernando. received slight injuries
from falling timbers The cave-in so weakened
two upright pillar supports Of the IL" running
through Battery Park that trains could be
run ever this portion, and the 9Th and 9th-ave
trains were shunted off the Battery Place sta
ton.
The first cave-in came on the State-st side
when one Of the heavy tirnbers at the bottom
broke At the noise of this breaking timber the
Italians on the other side hurried out Follow
ing the cave-in, which started at the bottom OF
the shaft the sheathing along the sides gave
wav allowing tons of earth to fall. This left the
tfmbers under the IL" pillars also free. and they
caved in leaving the pillars supported only by
the iron or steel girders. which were left practi-
cally suspended in midair. The tearing away
of the braces under the pillars allowed the Il
structure to sag at least three inches.
A South Ferry train was approaching this
portion, having just left the Battery Flace sta
ton when the cave-in occurred. There is d
switch tower about twenty feet down the track
and the tower man saw the danger and set red
sienals stopping the train. The passengers were
then allowed TO get out and walk along the
tracks to South Ferry.
Foreman O'sullivan. who was in charge OF the
work, said:
The cave-.n was caused by the giving way OF
one of The horizontal braces. and this weakened
the sides and sheathing, allowing the later ~
that the men were not working there at me
time We have already started work a. repairs
and will have the shaft cleaned out within two
or three days.
# was stated at the South Ferry terminal
that II might be midnight before trains were
r,,nrins regularly on the IT, lines.

TO AID TRUST CASES.
Rights of Corporation Officials as
Wifnesses To Be Tested.
From The Tribune BureauI

Washington, Dec 23.-A point of law of i'm
portance in the prosecution of trust cases by
the government is be determined once and for
all through the activity of the Department of
Justice The question relates TO the rights and
inmunities of a corporation in giving testimony
when under prosecution
6,orporation lawyers now hold that the chief
officer OF representative of corporation can re-
fuse TO give discriminating testimony when sum
moned before the court in a which involves
an infraction of antitrust laws. on the ground
that corporation has been held to be a per
SON. by the courts in number of cases. and
that the constitutional right of an individual to
refuse to incrirnnate himself consequently ex-
tends TO the corporation.
This view is not accepted by Department of
Justice officials. Cases are being prepared with
view to obtaining decision that corporations
are not entitled to such immunity; that the
Supreme Court application of the term per
SON. to corporation in sense involved i'm
rnunity I'm testimony before the courts. The
final settlement of the question is realized to be
of the greatest Importance in the governments
programme for the prosecution of trust cases
If the contention that officer of corpora
| ton can refuse to give evidence In court holds
| good the prosecution by the government will be
made especially difficult and there is little hope
| on the part of government officers of ever get
| ting at the real inwardness OF some corpora
| tons. If, the other hand, II is held that
corporation cannot through its officers refuse
to answer questions on constitutional grounds,
the right of Imprisonment and of imposing fines
for contempt of court will prove a powerful
| weapon in the hands OF the prosecutors
Details OF the case in which the Attorney
General hopes to test this point are, for the
present. withheld.
