EXECUTION OF WIN. BURGE.
Postponement From Next Tuesday
Said to Be Necessary.

William Burge, colored. who has been
thrice sentenced to be hanged for the muir
der of his wife, Daisy Burge, will not be
executed next Tuesday. the date recently
set by Justice Gould, before whom Burge
was convicted. Owing to the fact that the
twenty days allowed by the rules of the
court in which to file bond on appeal to
the District Court Of Appeals will not ex-
pire until midnight next Tuesday 1t will be
necessary for an application to be made for
6 postponement Of the date Of the execu-
ton.
The motion will be made Monday by the
United States attorneys office IL Attorneys
j. A. OShea and w. w. Bride, counsel for
Burge, do not file such a request. 1t Is
likely that Justice Gould will name q date
in January next for the execution.
Some doubt has been expressed as to the
limitation of the time for fling the bond on
appeal. but the twenty days, as figured ac-
cording to the recent rules Of the District
Court of Appeals. will expire on the date
set for the execution. The new rule pro-
mulgated October 2, 1906 reads as follows:
That whenever days are mentioned In
the foregoing rules as limitations of time
they shall be construed to exclude Sunday
and legal holidays. but to include Saturday
half holidays"
This is said to mean that Saturday Is to
be counted as any other week day which Is
not a legal holiday.

PANIC ON THE CURB
WILD STAMPEDE TO SELL NIPIS-
SING STOCK.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December There was q
Wild opening on the curb this morning, and
for time a panic seemed to be imminent
The mining shares, led by Nipissing, opened
well below yesterdays close as rule, and
In few minutes there was a stampede to
sell Nipissing. Sales were made at % at
the outset, but there came such deluge
OF selling orders that the price fell by
large fractions until q was the bid price
For few seconds there was lulI and
then the bear crowd got together and sold
right and left, until by 1910 o'clock there
had been sales at 20. or small fractions
better. There were offers of very big
blocks at 20K, and in a few seconds there
came another period Of comparative quiet.
Then there was an offer of any part of
1,000 shares at 201k, and the struggling
buying orders leaving them in doubt as to
whether to go it blind or to take chance
for still lower prices
Many Small Lots Sold.
When 20 was bid for 1900 shares the men
having small lots, ten to fifty shares, to dis
pose of, cut loose and offered their lots at
that price. At first there was as much
eagerness to buy at 20 as there had been to
sell at Fl but a few minutes before. The
crowd was by this time in a frenzy, and
only by forcing ones self into the heaving
throng could an idea Of what was going on
be had.
There was very palpable effort to break
90, and when this had been accomplished
the buyers cut their bids to 1917 and held
out for that until someone bid 1878 for Loco
shares, which were ''his'' before the words
were more than out Of his mouth.
Up to 1920 o'clock the lowest price was
1875. at which figure the offerings steadied,
while 1875 was the top price which the buy
ers would offer
Other securities were neglected during this
fight over Nipissing, and all that is told
above occurred within quarter of an hour.
The market quieted later, and shortly be-
fore the close Nipissing was quoted at q
bid. 21A asked.

special Disnatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 1.--Today's stock
market was generally firm and in certain
directions decidedly strong. The trading
seemed to be in nowise affected by the
extremely high rates which were quoted
for money on call yesterday nor by the
prospect that todays bank statement would
make very weak showing.
The London stock market was again
favorably influenced by this weeks strong
statement of the Bank of England and
American stocks advanced there in COM
mon with the other departments. Foreign
houses were buyers here ON balance on a
fairly large scale for Saturday.
There was otherwise nothing of impor-
lance in the mornings situation relating to
the market at large or to particular stocks.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country's
trade were again highly satisfactory ex-
hibits.
In the railway list the leading features
were Chesapeake and Ohio and Atchison,
both stocks rising on positive predictions
of increased dividends, although In each
mote. Union Pacific, St Paul, and other
recent leading stocks, in point of activity
in the railway list, were relatively dun.
Bank Statement
Some sharp advances were scored in the
industrial and miscellaneous stocks, nota-
bly, in Virginia Coal, Coke and Iron and
National Biscuit. Amalgamated Copper
was also active and decidedly firm. The
local traction shares were steady.
The bank statement, in a negative way,
made somewhat better showing than had
been generally expected. The loss in ac-
tual cash amounted to only 81, 1870 a
sum far below the smallest of all the pre-
lminary estimates.
The loan account showed an increase
OF S5.Os4.00O. and the changes in the two
Items in question were poorly reflected in
the deposit account, which increased only
$685., 900.
Surplus reserves Increased S2.954, 600,
which leaves the banks excess holdings of
cash above the lawful requirements at
81 $4,000. Surplus reserves OF the CORE
spending week of last year were 50, 565. 900;
in 1904, SS,539OO0 and in 1903, s., 305OO0.
