New York. Aug. 22.-Owing to the
present stringency in the money mar
ket the city of New York has been
obliged to raise the rate of interest
on bonds 1t pow has for sale from 4
to Az per cent. In addition the mayor
issued an order to the heads of all
city departments requesting them to
limit the expenditures of their respec.
tive departments to the lowest posi-.
Bile point consistent with efficient ad'
ministration. The action increasing
the rate of interest was taken at a
meeting of the sinking fund commits.
sion. The bonds affected are those
known as corporate stock Of the city
of New York and the assessment
bonds.
This is the first time in twenty
years that the city has been compelled
to pay more than 4 per cent.

JUDGMENT is APPEALABLE
Action Of Venezuelan Tribunal Is Not

nancIno Matos Uprising.

Caracas. Venezuela, Aug. 27.-Three
years after the beginning Of the sen
sational trial Of the New York and
Bermudez company for completely in
the Matos revolution judgment has
been rendered against the defendant
company, 1t being condemned not only
to pay $4,000, 900 damages, the calcu-
lated cost to the government Of sub
DUNG the revolution, but to pay other
sums to be fixed by a commission of
experts and which may very likely
amount to s10,O00,O00 more. The
present judgment is appealable to the
court Of cessation.
1t was from American witnesses
and from evidence taken before Ameri-
a judges in the United States courts
that the Venezuelan government OBJ.
eained it's most important evidence OF
the part alleged to have been played
by the asphalt company in the Matos
revolution, the furnishing Of the
money with which to start the fight.

cision in the New York and Bermudez
company case and on the present at.

claim Of the same company, a signed
article published in the government

1T now remains to be seen If the

Itself into the protector, defender and

SERIOUS FIRE TN IOWA.
Explosion Of Dynamite Causes Blaze
at Cedar Falls.

Cedar Falls, Ia. Aug. 26.-An ex-
plosion in the e a Of George Sheerer
& Co.'s hardware store Sunday night
started a blaze that caused damage to
the extent of $4,000. 1t was after
midnight before the fire was put I'M
der control.
Three buildings together with their
stocks of goods practically de-
stroyed. 1t is believed that a quantity
of dynamite kept in stock was Jared,
causing it to explode.
Another theory is that escaping gas
was ignited, setting fire to the build
ing, thus causing the dynamite to go
off. The shock of the explosion was
felt for several miles and hundreds Of
windows were broken.
The buildings damaged are the Bos-
ton store, $4,000; Sheerer, $4,000;
Carpenter building, $4,000; Willard &
Alexander, clothiers, $4,000.
The damage to the stock Of goods
in the Boston store is $4,000 and in
Sheerer's hardware store $4,000.
Other losses will bring the total up to
aDnroyinafe1y $110 000

BETTER TONE PREVAILS.
Some Improvement Shown on the
Stock EXCHANGE.

STOCK Exchange.
New York, Aug. 24.-The most Sc
rious conditions of the previous week
in the stock market have given way
to a better tone and a marked diminu-
ton of operations. Sentiment appears
to have been favorably affected by the
absence of further liquidation, but the
public utterances Of President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft were at first
somewhat disturbing. From outward
appearances, however, the market is
gradually drifting away from consid-
erations Of a political character. More
attention is being given to monetary
conditions. There Is a threatened
stringency, not only at home, but in
most Of the worlds money markets.
The tightness of money precipitated
another commercial failure during the
week and more are predicted for the
same reason. Time loans are being
made On bases we'll in excess Of nor
MAJ rates, and the banks are safe
guarding their reserves in anticipation
of crop demands.
