til accumulated selling orders had been worked off to some extent that a recov- cry set in. The rally had about wiped out the early losses by the middle of the afternoon. The early selling was reinforced to considerable extent by short selling for account of profession al bear traders. Their operations were encouraged by a msreading of the sig nifcance of the sub-treasury figures which showed on their faces a with drawal of $5,412,0O0 from the banks since the bank statement. The infer ence that the banks were poorer in cash to that amount, than shown in the bank statement was, however unWar- ranted. Some of the professional sell ing induced by miscalcuation of this item was covered later in the day and helped the rally. There was much change in the money situation or rath- CT in the procession of events which is drawing tighter the money market. The weekly arrival of South African gold in London furnished material for New York's demand, which yielded an additional engagement of about a mil lion dollars. There were no withdraw als from the Bank of England for New York account and no further supply was secured in Paris. The bidding for the gold in London advanced the open market rates another fraction. The government institution was creditor at the clearing house this morning to the extent of $86S,923. The principal factor in this showing was large trans- fers ot deposits due at interior points. banks of the interior drawing on their New York correspondents to pay obll- gatlons to the government. A deposit ol $loO,O0O at the sub-treaSury was for the purpose of telegraphic transfer to St' Louis. The scarcity of funds in the tune loan market continued. In view of these conditions, the conviction grew that treasury relief for the money market was essential to enable it to meet the October 1 demands upon if The confident belief that such maas- ures were imminent was general late in me day and contributed largely to the improved tone of the stock market The late recovery became decidedly strong, but the only stocks to yield any considerable net gains were the Harri- man Pacitics, Atchison, Reading and Amalgamated Copper.
 Bonds were easy. Total sales nar value, $1, ,S5OO00 rAi
 united States bonds were unchanged on call. eu

 Marked Rise in Call Money.
 The Monday stock market opened weakly with slight declines from the low closing figures reached on satur- day. The downward tendency was re- versed in the afternoon which develop ed a recovery followed speedily py u report that a deposit of S4O,0OO,VVo or government money would be made by Secretary Shaw. While the report was not new, the figure named savers strongly of guesswork being approNl- mately the difference between 4ast years treasury working balance ana that of this year, but it is a question or how much of this surplus the secretary may, under the law, tr@sfer to the banks. No mention was made, further more, in the report concerning the es- sential point, whether these deposits would be made in New York or else where. The report, however, strength ems the market, conducting to a strong close at the best figures of the day Wlth early losses made up and Union Pacific and Southern Pacific stocks showing good net advances.
 There was no marked rise in call money, but it is yet to be seen wheth- CT borrowings on time will be sufficient to prevent an advance before the week. end settlement. The arrangements be- ing made by the banks to meet this weeks october settlement were in evil dence in the time money market. Bor- rowers, accustomd to low rates from the banks, bid per cent, which is an indication of the pressure of such a re adjustment as this weeks $65000,000 interest and dividend payments affords. It is said that recent shifting of Wall street obligations from call loans into llIIlG CUHlIdClS Llby plSNOhl el s iONb rise in call rates. This was affected in 1903 The closing week of September, 1905, brought call money to { per cent. The sub treasury yesterday transfer red $15O, to St. Louis for local banks and received 5S,0OO from San Francisco for the banks.
 There was nothing in the movements r1oo DO to indicate whether the pools were still distributing their holdings or whether they were again ready to buy back what they sold higher up. A profes- sicnal short interest was plainly driven to cover in the closing hour, when both stocks rose from to points from the early low figure.
 London sold 15,000 shares in this market yesterday, buying perhaps a third of that amount, The smallness of the buying on the eve of a fort nightly settlement was regarded as sig nificant.
 American Ice continued to climb reaching a new high record.
 The sharp break in a number of high priced stocks with large fractions be- tween sales, indicating that buyers were scarce, had bad effect
 About $1,5OO,OOO gold was engaged in Lcndon yesterday for shipment to New York. The National City bank, and Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co.,, will gel it. Thirteen boxes of gold coin arrived Sunday aboard La Gascogne, sever boxes consigned to the National City bank and the remainder to the Chase National bank.

CAUGHT IN BELTING.
Italian Instantly Killed in Westvillt
 Accident.

Accident
 Frank Torrello, an Italian living in Valley street, Westville, was instantly killed yesterday morning at the factory of the Pond Lily Dye Works by being caught by the arm in the 5elting of a clothes stretching machine, which whirled him around the shaft and hurl- ed him against a cross beam.
 There was no one with him in the room at the time, but his agonizing screams brought workmen from other sections of the shop only to find his liteless body still entangled in the ma chinery. The power was quickly shut of and the body taken down.
 Medical Examiner Bartlett was called on the case and reported death as acct dental. Torrello was twenty years old unmarried, and had been employed at the dye works for about two years. It is thought that the belting slipped off from the shaft, and that Torrello be- came caught in it in trying 10 put 1t back again.

Washington. April 2S-The Senate Committee
on Interoceanic Canals met this morning and
discussed plans which if carried into effect. may
produce a material change in the Isthmian Canal
Commission. It was declared that the commits
sion, in accordance with the recommendation Of
the President, should be reduced to three mem
bers, and, further. that two Of the commission
ers should live on the isthmus. while the third
lived in Washington. The advisability Of in
Guiding the chief engineer among the three COM
missioners was asserted, so that with the re-
organization as discussed to-day there would be
three commissioners. including chairman. who
would live in Washington; a chief engineer who
would live in the canal zone. and probably the

Of the committee went so far as TO advocate
regulation prohibiting officials of the commission
from holding places with the Panama Railroad
Company.
Discussing the subject of salaries considerable
sentiment developed against the salaries now
paid 70 various officials il being held that they
are too high. The indications are that if
secretary is provided for il Will be at a salary
not TO exceed 5000 a year, and il is even pos
sible that the compensation OF the chairman Of

the present chairman Mr.. Shonts. will not re-
main IN that place for less than his present sal
airy, S30.OO8 year. but some members OF the
committee are disposed 10 receive this report
either with incredulity or with indifference.
No action will be taken on the nominations Of
commissioners now before the committee until
the question of salaries has been disposed of
