Shrinknge in Volume of Dealings-CaII
 Loan Rate Recedes to Below Per

Shrinkage in Volume of Dealings--CaII
 Loan Rate Recedes to Below 6 Per
 Cent.
 New York, Sept. 21-The shrinkage in the volume of the dealings in to- days stock market was principally due to the lessening of the furious activity in few stocks which has kept up the aggregate for several days past. Read ing and Southern Pacific were still disproportionately active, but in noth- ing like the same degree as for some time past. Outside of the speculative favorites the market was exceedingly dull and sluggish, and nearly stagnant at times. The dullness of the market In face of an appreciably easier condi- ton of the call loan market and the promise of substantial increase in the banking surplus to be shown in to- morrow's bank statement was the oc- casion of various theories to account for 1t. Voices were heard in the finan- cial district to point out that an infer ence might be drawn that speculative demand was not so eager to lick up re- sources in the call money market as detractors had alleged. Secretary shaw's circular to national banks warning against lending government deposits for speculation has impressed upon the minds of stock market bor- rowers that they must wait on signs of urgent need in other departments of the money market than the call loan branch to induce fresh relief measures by the treasury department. The con trast in the call loan rate receding to below per cent, with the stock mar ket quiet and gilt edged mercantile pa- per commanding 1-2 to ' per cent, and also loans for sixty and ninety days commanding a premium equal to an interest above : per cent. was re- garded in stock market circles as glow ing evidence of the innocence of specu- latlve borrowers of any part in the re- sponsibility for high money rates This contrast was felt to offer a convincing argument in favor of neM~"elie meas ures by the treasury department. Re lief was very confident in fact that fur ther deposits of government unds in national banks was immediately immi nent The private discount rate in London rose an additional reaction above the bank rate and the price of gold also rose higher. the effect being to divert New York's demand upon Paris Unless the bank of France re- linquishes its determination not to re- lease gold to New York it is not expec- ted that a movement from Paris will attain any important proportion This increased the conviction that treasury measures were the next available source of relief. The special strength of Southern Pacific was based on re- ports of an intended issue of preferred stock to provide means for taking over St Paul.

Washington, Feb. 6. - The senate
was treated to a distinct sensation
Monday by Senator Patterson, demo-
crat, of Colorado. who followed up his
retirement last Saturday from the dem
ocratic caucus, by introducing in the
senate a resolution in effect declaring
the action of the caucus contrary to
the constitution of the United States.
The action of the senator was unex-
pected on the part of many of the sem
ators, and they listened attentively to
the reading of the rather long pream-
BILE, evidently not a. little concerned as
to what should come next.
Senator Patterson made no effort to
discuss the resolution, but gave notice
that be wuold address the senate upon
it later 1t is expected that the demo-
cratic senators will resist the resolution
and that the republican senators will
favor Senator Patterson's resolution.

WINTER CROPS
ARE DAMAGED

Chicago. Reports from Kansas, Ne
braska and Oklahoma bring informa-
ton that winter wheat has been SER
iously damaged by the present cold
weather, especially in those portions
where the fields are not protected by
blanket of snow. Some experts in To-
peka believe 20 per cent is lost in the
western half of the state and they say
there is danger of still further impair
ment of growing grain. 49,!
More than speculative motives were
attached by Chicago board of trade OPP
orators to the complaints of damage.
1t was set forth that in many places
conditions mean serious injury to the
crop. January was the warmest on re
cord in Kansas and Nebraska, in fact
over the whole of the winter wheat
area. The grain attained a rank
growth, which made at particularly
susceptible to damage by zero weather,
which has obtained this week at many
points. Dry weather also had dele
terious effect, as the surface soil be-
came dry and dusty and was blown
away by the winds.

BRITISH POLITICS
1T is REPORTED BALFOUR and
CHAMBERLAIN DISAGREE.
Believed Mr.. Chamberlain Will Or
ganize Separate Party on Tariff
. Reform - Leadership of Unionists
May Be Wrested From Former
Premier.

London, Feb. 5.-That there is a
split in the unionist party is recog-
nized as an existing fact by the union
list newspapers this morning. They say
it is definitely known that Mr.. Balfour
and Mr.. Chamberlain have agreed to
disagree and that it is believed Mr..
Chamberlain will withdraw from his
adhesion to Mr.. Balforur and organize
a separate party on tariff reform. This.
it is admitted by the Standard, the
Morning Post and other unionist news
papers, will not be the only effect OF
the desertion of Mr.. Chamberlain, I'M
less, indeed, Mr.. Baltour decides to
call a meeting of the party and allow
it's members to decide the question OF
Leadership. Even then, the papers say.
it is not believed that either Mr.. Bal
four or Mr.. Chamberlain will recede.
the former premier having told Mr.
Chamberlain that he would not accept
his tariff reform policy.
The whole situation forms the polit-
cal sensation of the hour and nothing
else is discussed in the political clubs
1t was stated very emphatically yes
, terday that if Mr.. Balfour would not
agree to call the meeting of the party.
Former Secretary of State for Home
} Affairs Akers-Douglas would be ap-
pointed leader ad interim until Mr.
Balfour is returned to parliament by
! the city of London. There is still
remote chance of Walter Hume Long.
= former president of the local govern
r ment board being asked to accept the
l leadership under a compromise, but
: well informed persons say positively
that Mr.. Balfour will refuse anything
y like a compromise while Mr.. Chamber
f lain insists on standing for protec
d ton.
# 1t is even intimated that the invita-
b ton to Mr.. Balfour to stand for th'
= seat for the city of London, resigned II
d his favor by Alban G. H. Gibbs, may b.
IL withdrawn unless he goes over to MI
Chamberlain, but this is believed Z
l. be hardly likely. The liberals will dc
g eide today whether they will contes
d, for the seat for the city of LondoI
Il and in view of the latest development
there is likelihood of Mr.. Balfour ha'
"a ing to fight for it.

him out from the wreck. He was cauh
under the wreckage and could not b

TERRIBLE AFFAIRS
over IN RUSSIA

The correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News says;
Since the days of Ivan the Terrible,
Russia has not witnessed such another
wholesale slaughter as that now in pro
gress. The daily reports from various
parts of the empire seem to rival each
other in horror. People are shot with
out trial for belonging to the socialist
party and for carrying illegal litera-
ture or arms. In the province of Vel
ma the governor general has issued this
order to his troops: use your weap-
ons energetically and without fear of
responsibility
Those unable to renew their licenses
are sent to Jail for conspiring to dimin-
ish the revenues of the state. Where
the treasury has been robbed the gen.
erals order the inhabitants to make
good the deficiency on pain of having
the town destroyed. In places where
it is suspected that there are revolu-
tionists the military chiefs order the
townsmen to point out the guilty men
or suffer bombardement. In one town
wehre there were no revolutionists the
colonel in command of the troops car
riei out the threat.

the condition of affairs is appalling

the count has decided not to oppose
the action for separation, and the only
matter that remains to be arranged is
the monetary settlement. which, it is
reported, is to be made. Just how
much the count expects to get is hard
to say, but gossip here is to the effect
that the question of settling an allow
ance on her husband has been referred
by the countess to her brother, George
Gould, and as the latter has never had
very much use for his titled brother in

the count will hardly fare very well
