STILL NO INDICTMENTS.
The Grand Jury Is Said to Be Waiting
for Judge Pollock's Decision.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 29.-The
criminal court grand jury convened
again Monday, but returned no indict-
ments and began no investigation of
violations of the Sunday closing law.
1t finished the investigation started
last week of the killing of Clyde ST.
Clair in independence. Van Dorm
Tappan was arrested at the time of
the killing
The impression in the criminal
court building is that the grand jury
will take no further action regarding
Sunday closing until Judge Pollock in
the federal court has decided finally
the application for an injunction that
he is holding under Amusement. Judge
Pollock issued a temporary order re-
straining the arrest or prosecution of
members of the theatrical profession.
Judge Wallace refuses to talk about
the Sunday crusade, but his opinion
about those who have ignored his de-
cree on Sunday closing was reflected

TODAY's MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Oct. 29.-WHEAT-The wheat
market was nervous at the opening today,
although the undercurrent seemed TO pc
in favor of higher prices The chief bull
lsh factor was the advance of pence at
Liverpool. The weakened condition of the
stock market in the early trading caused
buyeres to hold off somewhat. December
wheat opened A@19c higher, at 9S@9S14c,
sold at 9I12c, and then advanced to 9S3sc.
Minnea polls, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of S22 cars.
CORN-The prediction of rain through
out the corn belt caused a strong market
In the corn pit. December corn opened un-
changed to 11sc higher, at 5714Q57ssc, and
sold at 57zc.
OATS-The oats market opened strong
on light offerings and a good demand
from shorts. The wet weather, which
may delay the movement in the north
west, was also bullish factor. Decem-
Der oats opened 1s@c higher, at 491s@49asc,
and sold up to 5OQ50hc.
PROV1S1ONS-The provisions market
was fairly steady. January pork was DC
lower, at $1462; lard and ribs were each

lively.

WEST Is SOLID.
Chicago Hears Only Good Reports
From the Country

| Chicago. Oct. 29.-The financial
condition throughout the west was to-
day satisfactory in general to the
banks and to the majority of business
| interests. In all the money centers
today the check and certificate plan
was used and the banks were holding
as closely as possible to their issues of
currency. The banks in Kansas re-
ported themselves as in a particular
lly strong situation, many of them hav-
ing fully fifty per cent in excess of
the ordinary legal reserve.
In oregon, Governor Chamberlain
has issued proclamation making the
next five days legal holidays in order
to prevent a currency famine All of
the banks in Portland from whence
this news came were absolutely sound
and there was no run or sign of run
upon any of them
The banks in Spokane have decided
to take action similar to that the Chi
cago and New York banks are taking
in order to protect their cash reserves.
All financial Institutions there are re-
ported to be in excellent condition and
considered it prudent to adopt the
plan which has been put in force in
other cities.
At Kansas City, Kan, the wyan-
dotte State bank with deposits of
100000 was absorbed by the Com
mercial National bank. The institu-
ton was entirely solvent
The Chicago banks commenced
their second days business under the
check system, greatly encouraged by
the manner in which the new method
was received by their depositors yes
terday. Out of 100000 savings de-
positors in the city only 1900 made
application for withdrawal of their
accounts or gave notice of a desire to
withdraw. The clearing house issued
to its members SS,000,000 in certif-
Gates. The debit balances which
had to be settled with the certificates
were far smaller than usual, approxi-
mating barely S1,500,000.
John ]. Mitchell, president of the
Illinois Trust and Savings bank, which
has the largest number of savings ac-
counts in the city, said today:
I'VE are pleased and satisfied over
the turn affairs took yesterday. This
bank received notice from 500 deposit
tors who wanted cash. AS an offset to
that we received $50 savings deposits
aggregating a sum far in excess of the
amount for which withdrawal orders
were received Under the circum-
stances I think the situation is sur
prisingly strong.
The day opened quietly at the Hi
bernian Savings bank, which yester-
day had the only trace of excitement
visible in the banking situation A
few depositors were at the door when
the bank opened but a number of
them went away without giving a no.
tice of desire to withdraw funds.
All the other banks in the city which
had savings accounts business appear
ed to be on an adequately normal ba-
sis, there being no more people
around than usual. At all of the ma

roads Of the city are accepting checks
m lieu of currency in payment for
freight just as they have in the past.
r While some inconvenience has been
occasioned by the ruling adopted by
the merchants against cashing checks
1t has in most cases been obviated. A
customer presenting a check for more
than the amount of the purchase is
paid the difference in a firm check and
if as the case is bound to happen, the
merchant has drawn the 500 per-
mitted by the banks, the check will
pass current from hand to hand as
money. This plan does away with the
withdrawal of currency from the
channels of trade and at the same
time permits trading to continue unin-
terrupted.
In case a customer presents cur
rency in the form of a large bill in
settlement of an account of a lesser
amount currency is returned in
change for the difference.
With extensive pay rolls where
checks are offered to employees in set
Element for their weeks work. several
of the firms will issue checks for small
amounts, perhaps in one and two dol
lar denominations. These could then be
applied on small accounts about the
city the same as currency.
Checks that are known to be good
are being accepted by both the freight
and passenger departments of the rail-
roads of the city just as they have been
in the past. These departments make
their remittanceS to headquarters in
the form of drafts and these checks are
applied on the purchase of drafts for
this purpose.

TO REFORM CORPORATIONS.
Judge Grosscup Will Select Committee
at Presidents Request.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 29.-During a
conversation at a dinner at the Col
umbia club Federal Judge Peter S.
Grosscup of Chicago said that he had
been requested by President Roosevelt
to select a committee to make sugges-
lions to the president for a law to re-
form corporations and he had decided
to comply. Judge Grosscup said his
idea of such a law was for a congress
sional enactment that would bring all
corporations doing an interstate bust
ness under regulation by the general
government.
He said that he would soon select the
men to serve with him on the commit
tee and that they would go into the
details of the whole subject and at
tempt to devise a law that would place
corporations under control of the gov
eminent. 1t was his opinion that flu
ture organizations doing interstate
business could be easily brought under
such law. He lent the impression that
there might be some question as to
whether such a law could require SINH
lar corporations already oreanized UNI
der state laws to reincorporate under a
national law.
