Fairbanks is Popular.

Few presiding officers In the Senate have
been as popular Vice President Fair
banks with the officials of the Senate. He
has co-operated with them as to eX-
pedite the business of the Senate and that
Is an important matter to the clerks, who
desire to have the business closed up every
day. Mr.. Fairbanks has been a surprise to
the senators and to the officers on account
of the manner in which he has attended to
his duties. He is always in the chair save
for u few minutes that he takes to go to
the restaurant for luncheon. Another mat
ter in which, the Vice President and the
officers of the Senate get along we'll to-
gether is the parliamentary procedure
and the administration of the rules. In
the House the Speaker has a man who does
nothing else but advise the presiding officer.
In the Senate some one at the clerks desk
has always performed that duty for tho
presiding officer of the Senate. Mr.. Fair
banks and the officials whose duty 1t Is to
know all the parliamentary law and the
precedents get along most anicably. The
Vice President Is now so familiar with near
Iy every feature of the proceedings that he
does not often have to consult with the
officials unless upon some matter that pre-
sents a new phase of something that has
temporarily escaped his mind.

A Too-Common Evil.
. Rocbester DEMOCRAT Chronicle.

From the Rochester Democrat Chronicle.
If Rochester were free from hoodlums
and flower thieves, and trespassers, and
persons constiutonally unable to mind
their own business, there would be only
one side to the walled garden question
But Rochester is not free from these null
sances. Indeed, 1t is overrun with them,
and every unfenced lawn, garden or yard
Is regarded in the Hight Of public prop
erty by Juveniles and adults who have
never had inculcated in them ordinary
respect for other persons rights These
facts put another face on the question
A wall or high and solid fence about
ones premises is absolutely essential to
comfort, to any degree OF privacy, to
undisturbed enjoyment of ones own
property. A citizen who refuses to sacri-
iice utterly. by leaving his premises
fenceless, his own enjoyment of his own
home, for the benefit of passersby, can
not be Justly regarded as fundamentally
selfish" and 1t is pretty steep to hold
up such citizen as a proper object of
public condemnation. The citizens who are
so anxious to share the pleasures OF the
garden owners should do their share to-
ward maintaining the gardens by helping
to pay for the additional police force nee
essary to provide for these gardens the
protection against invasion and devasta-
ton that their owners must now seek to
securc by means of walls and high fences.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO. April 2L-Favorable weather
throughout the wheat-growing sections of
the United States impaired a weak tone to
the wheat market at the close today, final
quotations on the May delivery being of
ssa1s. Corn was down y. Oats showed a
loss of 1sai4. Provisions were to 71s
lower.
During the greater part of the day the
wheat market was steady, but late in the
session prices yielded to moderate profit
taking, and the market closed weak at
about the lowest point of the day.
Primary receipts today were 263,0 900 BUSH
els, against 1900 bushels for the CORE
spending day one year ago, and this was
the only item of news favorable to the bulls
received during the day. On the other
hand, reports from the southwest told OF
the excellent condition of fall-sown wheat,
and advices from the northwest said that
seeding is about completed In that section.
Trading was small during the day, the I'M
settled condition of the money market hav-
ing a restraining effect on many operators.
The May option opened a shade lower to a
shade higher at 1875 to 1914, sold UP to So,
and then declined to 1915. The close was
weak at 794. July sold between rs and
1872, and closed at net loss of lsa14 at 7Sa
1875. Clearances OF wheat and flour were
equal to 1874 900 bushels Minneapolis. Du-
luth and Chicago reported receipts of 15S
cars, against 1913 ears last week and 1868
cars one year ago.
The corn market was strong early in the
day on firm cables and small local receipts,
but this firmnesS was soon diSpelled by
prott-taking, induced by clear Gather.
Cash interests and commission houses were
the chief buyers, and offerings came largely
from pit traders. The market closed weak.
May opened a shade lower to a shade high
er at AZ to AIS, sold up to 472i, and de-
clned to A. The close was at 471sa47A.
July sold between 45$4a457s and 46A, and
closed at 457s. Local receipts were 96 cars,
with Is of contract grade.
Favorable conditions for seeding and the
weakness of wheat and corn depressed the
oats market. Trading was very light. May
opened unchanged to a shade lower at 32A
to %2l4 2323s, sold between 32s and 32SS ;,21a,
and closed at By. July ranged between
30hs and 307s and closed at the low point.
Local receipts were 1913 cars.
Provisions were easier. There was con-
siderable selling of lard by local traders,
who were Influenced by break of Cd. in the
price at Liverpool. Packers were the chief
buyers. At the close July pork was off &C.,
at 16.221s Lard was down 5a71a, at S.671aa

SYDNEY, April 21-An incident of the
wreck of the steamer Elingamite on the
coast of New Zealand on November 8. 1902
was the loss of a number of cases of gold
valued at $s5.0oo Since then several ex-
petitions have sought to recover the treas
ure, and thereby hangs the tale
The last of the series of expeditions re-
turned to Wellington few days ago. They

failed. owing to rough weather, but the ad-
venturers were able to assure themselves
that the gold was there and easily accessi-
BILE under fine weather conditions. So they
sat down to wait for midsummer When
the summer came they began to make
preparations anew, and while they were
preparing there arrived vague, drifting
story of three Americans whoa little while
before had landed at Auckland. ostensibly
for deep-sea fishing, but with an eauip-
ment not usually held to be necessary on
fishing excursions. The story ended with
three cheerful Americans drinking wine
riotously on mail steamer bound from
Auckland for San Francisco and making
mysterious references to the Elingamite.
No Importance was attached to this aft the
moment. but 1t has gained a good deal of
significance in view of the report of the
expedition which has just returned This
is that the sunken vessel has been shat
tered as If by explosives, and that there is
no sign whatever of the gold that was
plainly seen six months ago.

HEARD ON CHANGE

The figures that were printed during the
week in regard to the loans and deposits of
the banks and trust companies of the Dis
trict as shown by the reports OF the con-
trolIer of the currency. furnished evidence
In regard to matter about which there
has been some difference of opinion.
It has been the belief Of some of the
brokers that bankers here. in some cases
at least, have not been sufficiently accom-
modating In the way OF loans during the
past few weeks, and the assertion has been
heard that instead of keeping the money
here and using 1t to meet local needs It has
been sent to New York to get advantage
of the high interest rates that have pre-
vailed there.
or course this has been denied by the
bankers who claim that they look after
their own customers first and supply their
needs, and then If there is any surplus they
can lend to advantage in New York or In
any other place that 1t is wise business for
them to do So
There seems, however no question that
the lenders Of money have used their judg-
ment, which they have a perfect right to
do In putting a stop to borrowing, when.
in their opinion, the loans on any one stock
or line of stocks had reached point be-
yond which 1t was not considered wise to
CO. 1t is claimed by the banks that they
have not refused any one of their customers
who has asked for money for a legitimate
need, but they make no disguise of the fact
that they have not encouraged the mere
speculator.
The discussion. which has gone on with
N IN
money in this city has expanded enor-
mously during the past few years. There
is no question that the practice which pre-
vailed here, and does still to some extent
of banks placing their surplus funds or a
portion Of them in New York banks, where
they can earn per cent and at the same
time the money is on CALL available at any
time when wanted, grew largely from the
conditions here.
There was not at that time the use for
money here, at least sufficient, to employ
ali the funds that constituted the banking
resources of the city. 1t was perfectly nat
ural that this money should be sent abroad
when 1t was found there was no need for it
In local business circles.
The change that has taken place in this
particular only illustrates one phase of the
growth of the business interests of the city
The banking resources of the District in
the past ten years have more than tripled,
and yet, with all this vast sum of money
available for local needs, there is heard
the complaint of scarcity Of money. In
other words, as the resources Of the f1nan-
cial institutions of the city have grown the
business needs Of the city have also ex-
banded.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER. England, April 21.-The
cloth market opened quietly after Easter,
and there has been fair miscellaneous de-
mand since, with a satisfactory turnover in
some quarters. The decline In cotton had
little effect on prices. Bombay was the
most active of the Indian outlets. though
the general buying there was not extensive.
Orders were not easy to arrange, owing to
advances required. The China demand was
moderate, particularly in bleaching and
fancy descriptions, with delivery six mont rs
ahead. There were considerable sales of
good finishing cloths through various chan
nels, and the tendency Of prices was to
harden. Yarns, spinners and cops from
American cotton were well engaged and
quotations were maintained though the
sales were limited. The best yarns We're
more favored than the common sort.

London Disturbed by American In

Special Cablegram to be Star.

SPECIAL Caplegram TO he star.
LONDON, April 21.-The stringency in
the money market and the apprehension
of trouble in Wall street on account of
the San Francisco disaster have disturbed
the stock markets here and put off the
great improvement In business which the
brokers last week were predicting would
come after the Easter holidays. The scare
ity of credits is due chiefly to the with
drawals of large amounts of Japanese
money from the London deposit banks for
the settlement of certain liabilities of the
Japanese government, these Withdrawals
being quite unexpected and following
the heavy Withdrawals of gold for America
put the money market in Strengthened con-
ditions, and caused heavy advance in
rates for loans and discounts Then came
the news of the earthquake, and this piling
up OF depressing factors has affected the
tone of the stock markets most unfaYor-
ably.
Last week there was a lack of business
on the stock exchange, but an abundance
OF hopefuinesS. This week there has been
no business worth speaking of, and no ex-
pectatlon OF betterment In the near future.
Consols, which seemed to be steadily NOV
ing upward, have dropped again into the
eighties. Foreign government securities,
almost without exception have fallen off
tractlonally, and British rails. disregard
ing the bumper traffic returns for the
Easter holidays, are all lower, being sold,
II is said, to provide funds to meet the
monetary requirements.
Americans have been depressed and are
not likely to show any frmness so long
as the fear prevails here that there viii
be a monetary squeeze in New York due
to the San Francisco disaster Mines have
been practically ignored throughout the
week
