EXPLAINS To
CUBAN PEOPLE

Havana Cuba. Nov. 7.-Dr. Estrada
Palma, once president Of Cuba, has au-
thorized Judas Martinez Moles editor OF

a letter. which DR.. Palma addressed 10
friend in Havana on october 10 OF last
year Dr. Palma's views are still un-
changed, I'll Combate declares, which

value. The letter is reprinted and COM
mented on IN the principal papers OF the
island. attracting wide attention.
DR.. Palma declares publicly in favor OF
American control in Cuba For the first
time. also. since his overthrow he adj
dresses the Cubans directly. Speaking
about his request for American interven-
ton, he says:
'It is enough 10 satisfy my conscience
this conviction OF having saved my be-
loved country from anarchy and it's natur-
al results OF plumber and ruin"
He continues, describing what he con-
siders the criminal acts on the part Of the
revolutionists. and the necessity TO call on
the Americans 10 prevent a protracted
and sanguinary contest. ''If did right or
wrong time will say. That my attitude
was Immediately justified is proved by the
sudden re-establishment OF peace through
the moral and material influence of the
Americans. II has always been my be-
lief since / took an active participation
in the 10 years war. The final aim of our
noble and patriotic aspirations was not
independence, but a stable government.
capable OF protecting the lives and proper
ties. and of guaranteeing the rights OF all
inhabitants OF Cuba, natives and foreign
ers alike, and capable also TO prevent lib
srty being polluted by anarchial armed
disturbances.
1T do not hesitate TO declare that II Is
hundred times better for our beloved Gu
ba TO be in a dependent political situation
in which liberty Is prevailing than in

The Importance of this declaration at
present cannot be overestimated, for, in
spite OF the revolutionists. who are now
split into two parties. DIR. Palma stili

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Tone Yesterday Became Dull and
 Heavy.

New York, July 22.-The operations
 for the advance in a limited group of stocks, which distinguished the stock market last week, were discontinued to-
 day and the tone became dull and
 heavy. Speculative sentiment may
 have been affected by the tone of the
 warning among banking and financial authorities of the threatened inadequa-
 cy of money market resources to any considerable speculative undertaking in
 the stock market. This influence was not directly effective in the money mar
 ket, however, money on call contiRu-
 ing to rule easy, and 1t is only in the more remote prospect that Ainconveni-
 ence to borrowers is expected Ill spite
 of the gain in surplus resources by the
 banks shown in the Saturday bank
 statement, the item of the surplus now
 stands at Q lower figure than in any year in this period since 1893. In view
 of the admitted expansion of the cred
 it's of banks and the probability of con-
 tinued active use for money in busi-
 ness this fall, the hazard of over-exten-
 sion in stock market commitments is
 generally recognized, The proportion of cash reserves of the banks as a whole disclosed by the controllers report of
 May 20 last, was unusually low, and
 this was especially true of banks out
 side the principal reserve cities With the development of demand for curren- cy and credits to move the crops these l banks are certain, therefore, to call on the reserve centers for large sums. The Chicago money market is reported strong, and eastern commercial paper
 in that market is partly responsible for
 the strength New York has reported to foreign money markets for relief and
 has placed some large amounts of fin- ance bills abroad by the deposit of securities with agents in New York of l the foreign lenders. Discounts eased in
 London today but advanced in Paris, and the foreign exchange market hero | hovers not far below the gold export
 point. The halt today was partly due, also, to scepticism over some of the rumors which caused the rise late last week. Substantial difficulties were in dieated in the carrying out of the sup posed readjustment of control of Bur

Some 10000 shares of Steel common changed hands within range of S-S points. If anybody had wanted to sell that much long stock it would seem as if the price would have declined more sharply, unless insiders thought it was cheap enough to buy at current prices.
