were at the lowest and still declining,
losses having been quite generally sub
stltuted for the earlier gains. The little
fpurt at the opening was caused by the
decision OF the secretary OF the treasury
to deposit 100000 at the great bank
ing centers
based to some extent on the conclusion
that the amount of reiS thus promised
for the money market would have little
effect on interest rates. There was sug-
gestive advance in foreign exchange
rates to-day following the secretary's an
nounccment, which raised the question
as to how far resort to foreign banking
facilities might be precuded by the Of
ferins OF the additional supply here. The
bank statement proved equally made
quate to check the saggng tendency Of
the market. The comparatively favorable
bank statement indicated that the con-

dependent upon loan contraction With

 Only one was in any way disguised. and he wore but a small strip Of calico beneath his eyes The first man was evidently an American, while the other two are thought by the vic. tims to be Mexicans.
