MARKET FAILED TO BOOM.
London Spectators Surprised at Re.
suits Of Togo'si Victory.


LONDON, June 3.-The stock exchange
people have been devoting themselves large
ly this week to explaining why the market
did not boom on the strength of Togo's
great victory. 1t had been expected con-
fidently that IL the Japanese should win
their fight with Rojestvensky there would
be rushing trade for while. But al
though the Japanese triumph went a long
way beyond the most extravagant hopes
of their friends the London stock market
did not become the least bit excited nor
sensibly recover from the dullness that
had hung over II SO long.
Among the multitude of causes assigned
for this state of affairs the one that finds
the largest acceptance is that what is
known as the outside public is not largely
concerned in the stock operations. and that
the professionals are unable to absorb the
securities offered for SALE Very likely
overloaded operators have seized the OPP
portunity afforded by the news from the

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Quite Unfavorable, Surplus Reserve
Being Cut Nearly Half.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The Financier says
this week:
Last weeks official statement of the New
York associated banks was quite unfavor-
able the surplus reserve being. as was the
case In the week ending May 20, cut nearly
In half The loss in cash reserve was far
greater than was indicated by the esti-
mates, which were based upon the traceable
movements of money during the week. this
of itself rejecting large syndicate opera
tons and the decrease of loans. following
almost an equal contraction in the pre-
vious week. confirmed the view that gym
dictate transactions were responsible for the
unfavorable exhibit by the banks.
The enormous balance of $50. 2O5, eco at
the clearing house on Friday, one instftu-
ton showing debit of more than 10000
OOO, seemed to foreshadow an unfavorable
bank statement; this debit balance, 1t was
announced, was due to the closing OF the
Japanese bond syndicate operations. There
was also a payment on that day of about
Sl5OoO,OG0 on account of subscriptions to
the smelters' company stock and call for
$25 100000 Southern Pacific AZ per cent
bonds.
These various operations. therefore. con-
tributed to the arrangement in bank condi-
tions, as shown by the statement. The cash
decreased $1o,07s. 400, and the reserve re-
quired against general deposits was re-
duced, through the decrease of SIS, 651, 500

FLEEING FROM GLARS SERVICE
Colonization Plan Whereby Refugees
Are Being Placed on Fertile Farms
of the Middle West for Which
Money Is Loaned Them.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Jewish citizens OF
Chicago are taking steps to give aid
to and find homes for the hundreds of
Jews who have fed from Russia TO
escape service in the army Of the czar
and are now fiocking to Chicago in
ever increasing numbers. In order to
facilitate and systemize the work OF
succoring the refugees an organization
known as the Jewish Agriculturists'
Aid Society has been formed, and DR.,
A. r. Levy. pastor of the congregation
B'Nai Abraham. who is corresponding
secretary and manager. has received
in the last few weeks applications from
hundreds of refugees who have reached
Chicago in search of homes and en-
ployment.
The society has undertaken on a
large scale scheme of colonization of
these refugees on the fertile lands of
the middle western states. Adolph
Loeb is president of the society.
Out of the loan fund the secretary
has advanced money to Jews willing
to establish themselves as farmers
The amount lent has varied from $500
to $500. With this money the ews
purchase farms or rent Is paid for
them. The money lent is returned when
their farms become profitable.

President Roosevelt has accepted an
invitation to attend the Lincoln day
dinner, to be given by the Republican
Club of New York on February 49, The
invitation was extended by William d.
Murphy of New York on behalf of the
club. The president will deliver an
address at the dinner.
President Roosevelt was mighty glad
for the Christmas recess of congress.
He was nearly worn TO frazzle by the
pressure Of callers and business. 1t is
said that never in the history of the
White House has a president seen so
many callers and listened to so many
tales of woe in the same length of time
as has President Roosevelt in the three
weeks that congress has been in ses-
sion. From $3.50 until in the even
ing he has given up his time and at
tention to public business and has seen
callers every day, except on cabinet
days. Several hundred visitors a day
have been received, these representing
simply those people who came to pay
their respects to the president and VINO
were after nothing. The president
earns that little old $4,000 all right.
This sounds funny, but 1t is true.
Bourke Cochran drove up to the capitol
the other day in a handsome sleigh,

team, and beside him valet. The

felt hat, pulled down over his ears.
The valet held in his lap hat box.
When Mr.. Cochran alignted at the
White House door, he pulled off the soft
felt, took from the hat box his "chim-
ney pot" sat it on his head, and in the
attire of gentleman, entered the
door.

shoes, hats and furnishings would be
sold at a positive reduction of 25 to

starting signal for the largest crowds
of people that ever attended a legiti-
mate sacrifice of fine clothing In old
Astoria. Immense as the stock is, the
piles of goods are melting away like a

George Bernard Shaw, who has been
indulging in some acrid criticism OF
American literary taste, has the most
objectionable set of whiskers which
ever grew out of mans face. A re-
cent critic remarked: There are
many things for which a man may
not be censured, but his whiskers are
his own fault" Shaw has a set which
diffuses itself all over his collar and
shoulders and makes 1t impossible to
determine whether he wears collar
and shirt.
