POLITICAL
NEWS OR
TRADING BRISK IN EARLY PART
OF DAY
Reports from Interior of Improved
Monetary Conditions Supported
by Light Shipments
from New York
By Associated pres,


NEW YORK, Dec 12.-Today's political
news received a favorable Interpretation in
Wall street, and was slgnallsed by many OPEN
ing advances OF from l. to 2 points. With the
Hartman stocks displaying the most activity
and strength. The action of the market
alarmed the shor. interest and they bought ex-
tensively, giving an appearance of great
strength and animation to the trading. The
initial prices, however, proved to be the high
est, as receipts Of favorable factors intruded
themselves and the market lost all II hau
gained.
The failure OF the bulls to follow up their
advantage encouraged the bears to work dill
gently to break prices and by concentrating
their selling against certain stocks in which
the special considerations operated the latter
managed to bring about general decline Inc
principal stocks, New York Central, Pennsyi-
vania and Missouri Pacific, were targets Tor
this selling at intervals with trade conditions
and gossip as TO dividend returns attending
the decline.
This circumstance offset the good effect pro-
duced by the reaction in call money, the rate
today being only about half of that prevailing
yesterday. While the more abundant supply
of funds on call relieved the concern felt over
the money conditions to some extent, IN Whicn
It was realized that the needs of the early
large corporate requirements and the necessity
of the gradual repairment of impaired bank
reserves are influential factors to be cohsio-
cred in the future stock market operations
Reports from the interior of improved mon
etary conditions are supported by the lighter
shipments from here, but the position OF the
.ocal banks has been essentially favored by
this development, owing to the heavy drain
on subtreasury . operations. The banks have
lost nearly $4,000 900 on this account during
the week Time funds continue unattainable
in large amounts and rates, though high, are
considered purel.' nominal. In spite Of these
unfavorabe circumstances the market as a
whole rendered fairly good account of itself
and showed evidence of support at opportune
times.

transacted at tho high range of prices the

BANKER MORSE OF NEW YORK
RECEIVES THE HONOR
Albert chapelle Advocates the Central
Bank Scheme In an Address
Before the Realty
Board

Albert Chapelle of the Fielding J. Stison
company was the principal speaker before the
ftalty board yesterday afternoon. Mr. Chap-
ellie spoke at some length on the hnancial
situation. explaining the origin of the trouble
and the remedies he thought advisable Tor the
prevention Of its recurrence. The ADDRESS
was listened to with much interest by the
large audience, and at the close OF the meet
ing occasioned not little discussion
The speaker was very optimistic over the
future and high in his praises OF the way
in which the bankers had handled the sltua-
tion. He laid the cause of the trouble at the
door OF Banker Charles W. Morse, the man
who for the purposes of his speculattons hnd
built a pyramidal structure of banks HIS
great success in his promotion and manipu-
Iation OF the notorious ice trust in the me-
trcnolis had intoxicated him with a criminal
spirit and using the wealth thus acquired ne
was enabled to secure a controlling power IN
the Garfield institution. With this as pasis
of onerations he continued his purchases un-
M he dominated twenty seven different banks
and trust companies in New York and Brook
lyn.
Drunk with power he carried on his specula-
tions until he stood debtor to his string OF
hanks 10 such an extent that a halt had to
bo called by his associates and those VINO
stood sponsor for his institutions In the clear
ing house association
s,Because of Morses operations, said Mr.
chapelle, $50 vast a sum-estineted at $780,

were necessarily denied the legitimate bust
ness interests of the city and resulted III IN

Morse was known as a reckless specuiasnr
and treacherous friend and was entirely unilt-
ted for the responsible position OF banker HIS
ice trust scheme was the conception OF MIND
inherently criminal and was executed Win
the methods of an ordinary freebooter. Not
witbstanding his true character those In
authority in the banking circles oil the city
tolerated him and permitted him TO go on
without hindrance until the crash came.
The speaker announced his approval Of the
central bank scheme, but admitted that IT
was practically impossible at present. Until

OF the federal governments guaranteeing de-
posits. and in the case of a failure of u bank
ether national banks should be assessed to

HOLIDAYS KEEP THEM DANCING
ATTENDANCE
Under Gail System Necessary Now
Business Is Restricted to Mat
ters Specifically Mentioned
in Advance

Because of the many special sessions
of the city council necessitated by the
holidays the city's lawmakers yesterday
agreed among themselves that they will
divide the legislative business so that it
can be finished each week in three half
day. sessions If possible. Two of these
sessions will be held on Monday morning
and afternoon.
The important work of issuing the calls
specifying what business is pending. as
is required during the holidays, has been
done through the city's legal department.
hut as some councilmen have criticised
some omissions of items City Attorney
Leslie r. Hewitt announced yesterday
that he would receive no more sugges-
tions for items in the call for Mondays
which do not reach his Office before
noon Saturday. No business can be
legally transacted not specifically men
toned in the call.
Mr. Hewitt says this work is really
that of the city clerk and he has neg
lected important legislation the past few
days by being in constant attendance on
the council.
Service of the call for yesterdays
meeting ordered suddenly by President
Niles Pease to expedite the acceptance
of scrip by the city treasurer, was late in
reaching some members.
Councilman Wren had to rush out to
the city limits TO keep business en-
gagement and rush back, and delayed the
session. He had received only five min
utes' notice that session would be held.
Councilman Lyon was on hand at the
start, but was excused later to attend to
private business.
Most of the councilmen say that they
are sacrificing most OF their time in the
city's interest and some system should be
adopted to make the sessions shorter AMI
to insure prompt attendance Of all
members.
President Pease yesterday issued re-
quests to that effect.
