LONDON

LONDON, March 3O-Money was in
active demand in the market today in con-
nection with nearly $4,000, 900 being needed
for various calls on new issues. The re-
lease of the Japanese money, however,
prevented a scarcity Operators on the
stock exchange were cheerful and hopeful
regarding the approach of peace. but
trading was inactive. The phenomenal
success of the Japanese loan was the lead
ing topic of conversation. Consols were
in fair demand Home rails were dull on
adverse traffic returns. Americans opened
firm. with marked fractional gains After
wards there was slight relapse and some
stocks decreased to below parity. United
States Steel remained firm. After rallying
slightly, prices closed easier. Japanese
were buoyant. Imperial Japanese govern
ment 6s of 1904 were quoted at 1858.
The rate of discount of the Bank of Eng
land was unchanged today at 21a per cent.
The weekly statement of the Bank Of
England shows the following changes:

culation increased cts. 900: bullion de-
creased G539. 2S3; other securities, 5.003.-

BURT & GRiSWOD START.

The store in the Masonic Block,
which has been vacant since the stock
of +. B. Fuller IL Co. was removed,
will be occupied on Nov. 1st by Burt
Il Griswold with a full line of dry
goods, groceries, boots, shoes, etc. The
members of the new firm are George
Burt, of Carleton and +. A Griswold,
of Yale. A new system for Y ale will be
installed in carrying on the business
that of buying for cash and selling for
cash. In their ad which appears this
week, the firm announces what may
be expected if one trades with them
a decided reduction in the price of
goods bought.
With reference to the men who com
pose the new firm The Expositor de-
sires to say both are amiable gentlemen
and have the capital to conduct a
strictly cash business.
Mr.. Burt, who will take active man
agement of the business, was for many
years station agent for the Pere Mar
quette at Melvin. While there he was
raised to the sublime degree of a Mas
ter Mason by Brockway Lodge F&AM
at Yale and is yet member in good
standing of the Masonic order.
IL is unnecessary to comment on
Mr.. Griswold's character for he has
resided i'm this village so long every
body is acquainted with him and know
he is honest and upright in all his
dealings.
Success to the new firm.

/ desire to say to my patrons and the
public generally that on and after Nov
ember 18th l will buy for cash and sell
strictly for cash thereby being doubly
able to furnish heavy and shelf hard
ware, stoves, tinware, etc, at much
less margin of profit. As the merchants
nowadays are compelled to compete
with the prices of the department stores
il becomes necessary to do a cash busi-
ness. hope to hold all my former
customers and secure many new ones
in making this change. Chas. Rounds.

DlPHTHERIA AT MOLINE
ContagiOn Is Bad Says DR.. Crumbine
of Board of Health.

DR.. S. J. Crumbine, who returned
from Moline Monday afternoon, where
he was called to investigate the
diphtheria epidemic which is prevail
ing there, says that the most radical
measures have not been taken to
stamp out the epidemic. Schools are
closed, church services and public
meetings are discontinued, and all
public buildings are being fumigated.
It seems that the doctors in Moline
got into a row among themselves as
to whether or not the disease which
which was prevalent was really diph-
iberia. Some of them said it was,
and some said it wasn't The result
was that quarantine regulations were
almost neglected in many cases, and
things were going from bad to worse.
DR.. Crumbine says: ''I think we
have things harmonized now. The
people seem to have come to a realiza-
ton Of the situation, and it has been
agreed that everything of suspicious
nature shall be quarantined. I brought
up a number of specimens of sputum
from suspected cases. In my judg-
ment, they have a bad epidemic of
diphtheria, but there may be a few
cases which are merely sore throat

WELLS IS MRATRY.
VIII Give Mr.. Burrow All Treasury
Examination He Wants.

There will be no more examinations
of the state treasury by proxy-not if
State Auditor Seth Wells can pre-
vent it.
Mr.. Wells came up from Erie today,
and made the above announcement.
He seemed to be somewhat aroused
by the covert attack made on his office
by Secretary of State J. r. BurrOw a
few weeks ago, at the occasion of the
October examination. At that time
the examination was postponed owing
to the fact that Mr.. BurroW wanted
to go out of town. When he came
back, Mr.. Wells was away, and Assist
ant State Auditor James Nation rep
also absent, and his secretary repre-
sented him. After the examination
was made Mr.. Burrow gave out a
newspaper interview in which he said
that he was the only state officer who
stayed in town and attended to busi-
ness or words to that effect.
Mr.. Wells said today. 'sI am not
going to engage in any newspaper
controversy with Mr.. Burrow, but
viii say that henceforth the treasury
examinations viii have to be made
strictly in accordance with the letter
of the law, provided I have anything
to say about it. The governor, secre-
tary of state and auditor are required
to make the examination. It has been
customary for the assistants to these
OllCGIS 10 represent LIlGln InelE an
sence. But if we are going to be real
strict about this, why let's do the thing
up brown. Let the governor, state
auditor and secretary do the work,
make the figures, do the adding, and
everything. That's the way to do it
right. OF course it would be a con-
venience to have our assistants there
to help and do some Of the clerical
work, but if we are going to go strictly
according to law, we must do the work
ourselves. I am willing to do my
share
If Mr.. Wells makes good on his new
programme, the examination of the
state treasury will be rather an in
teresting process. Governor Hoch
Will probably work the adding ma
chine, While Auditor Wells "eaIls off,
the uncaneelled warrants, and Secre-
tary of State Burrow checks over
Treasurer KelIy's records. It may
take a day or two to complete the
work under this system, because here
tofore the system has been for the
clerks to do most of the manual labor.
and leave it to the heads of the de-
partments simply to check over the
results.
Perhaps a system of this kind will
induce Governor HOch to arrive at
the conclusion that the examination
is not a farce.
