THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
CONDITIONS IN NEW YORK ARE
CLEARING UP.
Reserves Are Generally Intact and De-
pOsits Are Becoming Heavier
More Gold Coming to Aid Situa-
tiOn.

New York. Nov. 10.--The most
eventful week, In the financial history
Of the present generation came to o
close on Saturday with conditions
much clearer than a week before, but
with some clouds still hanging over
the financial horizon. The previous
week had closed with the disquietina
announcement that the New York
bank reserve had lost $50, 900. 900 In
cash In spite Of deposits by the gov.
ernment during the week Of a nearly
equal sum. representing net cash
lose Of &60.oo0.oCo.
The bank statement Of yesterday
changes this situation. While III
shows a nominal decrease in required
reserves OF s1s,0s5.S00. more than
two-thirds OF this decrease is due to
the reserve requirements caused by
increase In deposits because of the
taking over OF loans from the trus,
companies by the banks. Moreover
thu actual cash loss OF 34,313.000 Is
due to the system OF averaging ac-
counts for the entire week, including
several days before the arrival Of the
new gold. Unless demands from the
country are very heavy next week the
arrival Of additional gold will more
than offset the loss Of cash last weel,
and make q creditable showing FOL
reserves on Saturday next.
The week began on Monday with q
feeling Of grave doubts - to the
future Of the two trust companies
which had been subjected to severe
runs. The possibility that they might
90 down and drag with them much ol
the financial structure which still
stood erect kept Mr.. Morgan. ths

Hold Cotton.

The financial shake,up in New

to be better. Meantime there is, in
our opinion, concerted determine.
ton on the part Of the buyers Of cot
ton that they will not pay higher
price than those now prevailing IL
they can help 1t. Journals of the New
England manufacturers openly say
that the price is now too high; that
eight cents would be fair price; that
only the holding by farmer can pre-
vent the price from declining, and
that the Southern farmers will not be
able to hold longer than the present
month. In other words. they have re.
solved that the market shall 20 to
pieces in December.
In our opinion, the farmers can
hold. and ought to hold. We do not
say that they will get fifteen cents for
cotton. but We do say that II their line
breaks under the pressure Of the
bears" II they stampede, the price
will drop another cent or two.
In order to hold cotton, the farmers
will have to practice economy. The

What the cotton crop will amount
to nobody knows. but most auth ari~
ties agree that it will not be very
large. Last week an English inv esti-
agtor estimated the crop at eleven
million bales. That estimate is too
small. The Wood and Cotton Report.

fourteen than thirteen million bales.
That is ridiculously large cstimate.

eleven to thirteen and a half cents.

DEATH OF FRANK GILLESPIE

Frank Gillespie, one of the best
known mining men in southern Ne
vada, died on Monday night in Gold
field after an illness lasting not more
than ten days.
Mr.. Gillespie was typical miner
OF the old school, and had lived in
the southern country for twenty-five
years He was a friend of Jim
Butler long before the discovery of
Tonopah, and Jim thought that there
was nobady in the world like him.
Honest and square in his dealings
with everybody, his word was his
bond. He was of quiet and retir-
ing nature, but those who knew him,
loved him for his sterling qualities OF
manhood.

WILL TEST THE Law
Telegraphers and Railroad Men Want
Eight Hours for Days Labor

The last Legislature passed an
eight-hour act Tor railroad men teleg-
raphers, train Gispatchers and all
ether employees who in any manner
regulated the operation of railroad
trains, by telegram, telephones or by
any other method.
This bill went into effect March 29,
1907, when it was signed by Governor
Sparks. 1t was introduced by Hon.
Edward E. Stewart, member of the
lower house from Nye county, and
handled by Hon. George Pyne, SEN
atOr from Esmeralda county in the
senate. The railroad lobbyists made
a hard fight against it, but it passed
the lower house by large majority
and Senator Pyne drove it through
the senate by his magnificent argu-
ments. with bare majority OF one
vote;
1t is the intention of the telegraph
ers' union to begin prosecutions tor
the violation of this law in the near
future. and to that end they have
/ been carefully gathering evidence
throughout the state on which to base
their suits.

SAN FRANCISCO May 16.-At
three o'clock this afternoon Abe Ruef
accompanied by special agent Burns
and elisor Biggy were seen to go up
the stairs into the grand jury room.
They are now with the grand jury
and it is not known how long they
will remain. 1t is understood that he
has been promised immunity from
punishment if he will tell all he
knows of men higher up and he has
agreed to tell everything.
He was pale and hasgard when he
climbed the stairs and so weak that
he leaned on the arm of Biggy for
support
The latest here is that Schmitz will
also confess and be also promised
immunity from prosecution.

TAYLOR REPLIES TO THE
GAzElT

Editor Standard
Fallon, Nevada.
Sir
The article printed in the Reno
Evening Gazette" Of April 30th, under
the scare head" IGNORING CON-
TRACTS, GOVERNMENT REFUSES
FREE USE OF WATER TO CHUR-
CHILL FARMERS" is so prolific in
misstatements as to suggest a cores
pondent endowed with an over-active
and not too conscientious imagination
or an ambitious attorney with plenty
of snare time endeavoring to work
case"
Such an article, presunlns ~ va.
tain statements of facts, published
by a paper of the character and cir
! culation of the Gazette" is sure to
be widely copied and while giving an
! entirely false position Of the Uniteu
States government in the premises,
will be absolutely unproductive of
good.
The local officials OF the T. S. Re
clamaiton Service made agreements
with most of the farmers Of Churchill
| county in 1908 to deliver water free
Of cost 10 them for the irrigation OF
! the lands they then had under culti-
vation and irrigation. In cOnsidera-
! tion for this those farmers agreed to
convey to the United States all IneT"
! claims to the waters OF Carson river
| tr5netner with the dams and bitches
! for its diversion. The government
did not agree to furnish an inch OF
water to the acre, but it did undertake
to furnish the amount necessary for
the proper irrigation OF their land
throughout the entire irrigation sea
son in lieu of their existing rights IN
Carson river, stream which, with
the exception Of two years in the past
twelve, has gone practically drip in
the Carson Sink valley before the
end of July.
The government has fulfilled its
part of the agreement. 1t has con.
structed the irrigation system and
actually delivered water to nearly all
of the farmers interested and
entirely without cost to them. Hence
forth the lands to be irrigated from
this system must pay the expense OF
its operation and maintenance. II
these old farmers are to have the full
benefit of it, they have no right that
the homesteader and the man who
bought and is trying to improve ra"
land shall pay all the expense OF
keeping up and operating the ditcf
system, which supplies all alike.
About half of the original farmer:
in Carson Sink valley, including some
, of the largest owners, have alread,
fulfilled the TENS of the origina
agreements If the remainder declin
to do so, the government has no in
tention of depriving them Of water t
which they are entitled. AS long a
: Cason river furnishes sufficient waite
for all vested rights the Reclamatio
t service will see that they get it, bu
It their ranches will be dry, as the
y have in the past, when the supply i
IL that river gives out.
II Very Truly Yours,
l.. H. TAYLOR.
