NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Speculatlve Ii
quidation today overbore the resistance
offered by the stock market through all of
last week and carried prices comprehen-
sively to a lower level. The consolidation
of the money supply was the impelling
cause. The volume of offerings was
large and liquidation at times showed
signs of urgency.
The days immediate factors, in the
money market have been heralded for
weeks, but have been disregarded in the
operations to advance prices. The temper
of the stock market for many days has
been to discard prospective influences and
pay attention to nothing but the actual
recall of credits In which stock market
holdings were involved. Such recall was
in force on a large scale today by the
banks.
The conditions of the banks as they
stood in the showing of the Saturday
bank statement and the heavy credit
abundant explanation for the course of
the banks in contracting loans, without
taking account of the renewal of the
drain on their cash reserves, which was
set up again with the opening of the
week.
Between now and the close of the week
payments are to be made of an install
ment of subscription to Atchison CONVEX
tible bonds, which call for 1900, 600, and
to an installment of subscriptions to
Pennsylvania convertible bonds which
payment in full already made.
As the month closes with the week,
provisions must also be made for the
quarterly settlements, the requirements
for which are unusually large this year.
The calling of loans was allowedly pre-
paration for the accommodation of these
needs Meantime the benefit secured by
the banks last week from the sub-treas-
ury payments has been reversed by the
completion of the mid-month pension
payments.
Today's sub-treasury statement shows
loss already by the banks of 81 ,949,OOO
and the government institution had a
large credit balance at the clearing house
this morning. In addition 100000 was de-
posted at the sub-treasury to be trans
ferred by telegraph to st. Louis.
The assertions circulated on Saturday
that So, 100000 was already on the way to
San Francisco in Australian gold found
no confirmation, although conditions
pointed to the possibility of such a move
ment Assertions of additional gold pur-
chases today in London for New York
was verified only after the market closed
by the announcement of about $l,SOO,OOO
secured.
Foreign exchange rose quite sharply in
this market and the price of gold was
marked up in London. London had some
difficulty of it's own and was disturbed
by reported labor troubles in the South

than three hours and while the pro ceedings followed the program that had marked the opening of congress for many years, there was enough of interest 10 hold an exceptionally large audience during the entire time.
 One noticeable feature was the ab- sence Of flowers which heretofore have been common in both chambers. On opening days the display had been so great that the exhibition alone would have been sufficient to draw great crowds and the absence of flow CTS, due to a resolution adopted inn mediately by the senate and to an or der of the speaker, robbed the occa- sion of much of its picturesqueness. During the session senators and repre- sentatives visited the galleries and chatted with friends.
 Senators Allison and Morgan were appointed by Vice President Fair banks as a committee to notify the president that congress was ready for any communication he desired to make. The senate was in sesison only twenty minutes. Senators Aldrich, of Rhode Island, Knox of Pennsylvania, Warner of Missouri and Frazier of Tennessee, took the oaths of office and an adjournment was taken as a mark of respect to the late Senator Platt of Connecticut.
 The preliminary steps to organiza- tion were taken by the house, Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, was reelected speaker; the members of the house took the oath of office, the officers and floor employees of the body were reelected; the rules of the last con- gress were adopted, and the members went through the formality of draw ing for seats, all of which was enliven- ed by the presence of crowds in the galleries. There was animation in the reunion of veteran members and inter- est in new ones.
 In a brief speech against the adop- ton of the rules, the minority leader, MT. Williams of Mississippi, touched on the interest of the country in tariff legislation and to the new republican ideas which are being waited to Washington on the breezes from

A CHANCE OF COLOR
 IN THE COMMISSION
of Lane of California
 Makes it Democratic.

Washington, Dec. A. Senators Per kins and Flint of California called OH the president to discuss the appoint ment of a successor to Interstate Com missioner F'ifer of Illinois. At the con- clusion of the conference the announce ment was made that the president would appoint Franklin Lane of San Francisco to the vacancy in the inter- state commerce commission, created by MT. Fifer's resignation, which takes effect on Tan. 1.
 Mr. Lanes nomination will be sent to the senate tomorrow. He is demo- crat and his appointment will change the political complexion of the inter- state commerce commission from re- publican to democratic. Former Gov ernor Fifer of Illinois, whom MT. Lane will succeed on the commission, is a republican, as also are Commissioners Knapp and Prouty. Commissioners Cockrell and Clements are democrats. While MT. Lane also has been a demo- crat in politics, he was a supporter of President Roosevelt in the last cam paign.

every part of the country" These he said might be properly legislated. should the minority of the majority stand with the democratic members in opposing the adoption of the old rules and forming new ones, which would permit the consideration of such legislation as popular opinion might dictate.
 A committee was appointed to act with the senate committee in notifying President Roosevelt that congress was ready to transact business; the rule committee and the committee on mill cage were appointed and the house ad- journed after a session which lasted three and a half hours in compliances with resolutions reporting the death of Senator Platt, of Connecticut and Representative Marsh of Illinois.

THE GRAIN MARKET
 WELL SUSTAINED
The Demand for Wheat Unequalled
 by the Supply.

Chicago, Dec 4-Outside of the slight decline at the opening, the wheat market today had a firm tone throughout the session.
 The demand was good but offerings were rather light. The demand from the bull leaders was a feature of the trading during the last half hour. Greatly reduced receipts in the north west stimulated demand here for op- tions. The market closed firm with prices near the highest point of the day. May opened at Is to 14 toss lower at S7 1-2 to S7 7-S, advanced to SS IA to SS 3-S and closed at SS Is at S8 IA.
 Corn as a result of the demand from the leading longs and good buy ing by commission houses, was firm throughout the entire session. May opened Is to lower at A 5-S, sold up to 45 IS and closed at A '7-S. The oats decreased to 456,000 bushels in the visible supply and a revival of the export demand were bullish factors. The close was firm with prices at the highest point of the day. May opened Is lower at 31 Is, sold up to 32 Is and closed at 32 to 32 Is.
 Notwithstanding an early decline of 5 to 10 cents in the price of live hogs, the provisions market was firm from start to finish. Continued liberal strength shown. At the close May pork was up 15, lard up z 1-2 to 10 and ribs were 1-2 to 10c higher.

BEGINNING OF LEGISLATION.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Representative Williams of Mississippi, the leader of the minority in the house today intro duced a number of bills and joint resc- lutions affecting the tariff and cam paign contributions. These contemplate free trade with the Philippines, the as- sembling of the United States and Canadian joint high commission, with a view to freer trade relations be- tween the United States and Canada. and minimum tariff for the United States. The bill regarding campaign contributions forbids federal corpora tions chartered by the federal govern ment engaged in interstate commerce from making such contributions. These measures, it is believed, indicate the probable course of the minority on the subject of the tariff revision and reci- procity and the question of contribu tions to political campaigns.
 Another bill proposes to establish a minimum tariff of the United States. It declares the existing tariff schedules
 to constitute the maximum tariff of the United States and a reduction of
 twenty per cent from them, or rates equal to four fifths of the existing lu-
 ties, to constitute the minimum tariff l of the United States. The bill ex- | tends the operation of the minimum | tariff to all such countries which grant admission to their markets of articles ! the product and growth of the United l States, at minimum tariff rates. Mr. Williams said he had selected twenty per cent as the amount of reduction to | be made in order to constitute a mini
 mum tariff. although he thought that
 the reduction should be greater than
 that, out of difference to republican,
 opinions.
 Another bill by Mr. Williams is to
 amend section ten of the Dingley act.
 It forbids any common carrier or | transportation agency of any sort. iu- cluding express companies from trans- porting spurious, Vinous or malt liqours l into any state or municipality where | the sale of liquor is forbidden when
 they are carried c. O. D. or in any
 manner so that the carrier is charged
 with the duty of collecting for the
 same or doing any other act as agent
 of the seller necessary to complete or perfect the sale.
 | The bill regarding campaign contri- | buttons, which indicates the trend of ' MT. Williams, though it is probably \ those of his party associates in con- | Hectlon Wltn the impression made by II the life insurance investigation, for Il bids any national bank or any cor
 poration chartered by the federal gov Il ernment or any corporation whatso-
 ever engaged in whole or in part in | interstate commerce from making | contributions for the purpose of in- | fluencing the course of legislation be-
 fore congress, any state legislature or
 any municipal government, also that
 any act in contravention of this pro- | vision shall constitute a misdemeanor
 and shall subject the violator, on con- | viction, to a fine of not less than $500
 and not more than $10,000 and an ad- ! ditional fine of double the value of ] the money or any other thing of value
 found to have been contributed or promised.
