to have the pass include the Nebraska
line as far as Omaha so as to enable
him to visit churches in western Ne,

all the residents of Casper, including

over In that city.
Attention was paid to the London mar
ket for the conclusion of periodical set
tlement there, which occurred today and
which carried over stock market ac-
counts for another two weeks. Fears OF
financial trouble in connection with the
conclusion of settlement proved un-
founded only ono small failure being
reported. 4 nc recovery in this market
was partly due to relief over this news.
The morning fall In prices did not be-
come precipitate, but was impressive for
the steady stream Of selling orders and
the apparent lack of any supporting or
ders. The selling had the advantage OF
a considerable advance I'm prices at the
opening to start from and the recovery
made net gains Tor the day. On the
decline prices in many portions Of the list
fell through the low levels touched in
the dsorierly break of last Saturday,
thus confirming the common assumption
of a tendency of prices to sag slowly
after first recovery from a sharp break
until the low level Is touched again.
The political outlook and the discus
sion Of labor difficulties on some Of the
railroad systems were given some part
in the dlscouragement manifest In the
speculative tone
Preliminary estimates point to a weak
bank return. but the publication OF these
estimates did not check the recovery I'm
the market. 'The interior has evidently
drawn heavy on New York again by the

ment was made for import. There is
fairly general agreement also that loans
have expanded materially during the
week, not for speculative Use In the
stock market, but for taking up obliga-
tions transferred from the London mar
ket.
The call loan market continued easy
in spite of the seeming imposition of the
banks. The time loan market, however.
remained strong. There is some subsi
dence of demand in the foreign exchange
market with the completion OF the Lon

the movement of the cotton crop, the

The price situation is one of exceptional

restraining influences of these adverse
factors are felt.
Extremely narrow. variations occurred
