AS long as the Russian army is not

Slight Financial Anxiety Due More to Equt

Which Russia's Loans Might Cause.

What effect will there be, If any, on
American stocks and securities in case
of a Russian defeat by the Japanese
feet In the Far East? What would be
the result, further, If internal troubles
come to q climax on May Day and led
to a general ruction N the Cars en-

These questions were suggested today
to a number of men prominent In finan-

were high officials, and all expressed
conservative views on she general out

were some disquieting> features which

Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely
stated this morning that as yet he had
taken no action in the case of the First
National Bank, of Milwaukee. Wis. The
fact that President f. G. Bigelow was
defaulter to the extent of 100000 or
more did not render the bank helpless.
As long as a bank is able to meet its
obligations, the Comptroller of the Cur

character. In case the defalcations of

sum than was expected, thus Gripping
