as the call loan rate was an index. The liquidation of the week was attributed to the account of capitalists and opera tors of the same influential class as had ignored the pressure of the money strin- gency for some time past, and which carried last December's speculation through the money stringency to the easier rates after the turn of the year.
 The salutary effect on the money mar ket and on the conditions for working the enormous requirements of the Jan uary settlements is manifest. The liqui- dation in the stock market, the treasury relief measures, the prepayment Of in- terest by some of the great railway cor porations and the appearance of funds In this market attracted by the needs of the close of the year, have kept the money market in a state of unexpected tranquility. Rates for time loans have raeeded and the payment of subscriptions to s3OO0O 900 of New York Central stock on Thursday was accomplished With scarcely a ripple.
 This action of the money market has begotten a feeling of confidence that the immediate pinch of the January settle ment may be less severe than feared The near approach of the period of the settlements without disturbance or the money market also arouses some hope that the effects afterwards may be cor respondingly brief. Foreign exchange rates for money have fallen to point which admittedly offers a margain of profit on shipments of gold from London to New York. No measures have been taken by New York bankers this week to engage gold in London for that purpose.
 The opinion is expressed generally in banking circles that the taking of gold in London for New York account would prove so disturbing to conditions there, as to threaten a bad reflex in this mar ket The London markets relief after the yearly settlements, is very prompt. How far this fact would affect the ex- pedlency of a movement of gold from London to New York after the first week of the new year. remains to be seen.
 Bonds have been dull and irregular, with no sign of the preliminary invest ment demand usual near the first of the year.
 United States new As registered have declined A per cent on call during the week.

upon for material to be used in the
work.
The works which are now being com
pleted are located on the st. Louis
river flowing into st. Louis bay, which
forms the harbor Of Duluth. The engi-
neers found a point where the river
broke through a slate ridge. By clos
ing the openings In this natural bar
r1er an artificial lake was made COW
ering about $50 acres The lake Is a
mile and half in length across the riv-
er valley and half mile wide. It is a
picturesque sheet Of water in the midst
Of which, where stood two rounded
hills in the valley, now appear a couple
of islets. To keep this body of water
IN check required the erection of fif-
teen dams Of varying sizes.
The electricity generated on the st.
Louis river will be flashed to Duluth.
fourteen miles away, over lines of wire
supported on tall steel towers. In the
city there will be a substation where
the voltage will be stepped down" for
distribution through the city of Duluth
and Superior, which is across the bay
and which probably will be reached by
submarine cables. In the substation
will be placed the machinery which
will operate the trolley cars in the two
cities. Not only can such a plant as
this provide cheap power for the indus
tries, big and little, of a city of $4,000
inhabitants but the electricity can be
carried to the great iron mines on the
Missabe range, seventy miles north.
and to the cities of Minneapolis and St
Paul, 120 miles away.
The work which has been done so far
is only the beginning of the general
scheme which includes a development
to be made later farther down the St
Louis river and also a plan by means
Of which a portion Of the st. Louis
river water would be carried over a
fall Of 740 feet directly into the center
Of Duluth. If all these plans are car
ried out there will ultimately be deveI-
oped 100000 horse power.
