the Hartman party were proved TO have
sold Illinois Central 10 the Union Pa
cifc at 175. and are believed to have sold
some Of the other securities. Enough of
the transactions is known, 1t was said,
TO indicate that the Union Pacific was
carrying a shrinkage Of Szs.0aeoa5 IN the
securities. bus the advantage which let
the inner circle down easy IN the market
break, was not possessed by those on the
outer fringe of that inner circle.
A review OF railroad-rate legislation,
as passed upon by the Federal courts, was
sent out by John H. Davis K co. The
decisions the review insists. prove that
no legitimate industry can be unduly
hampeFed, nor can proper earning power
be eurtaied by executive act. The trend
Of the decisions is that no State can re-
qaire a railroad corporation TO carry pro-
visions or property without reward OF 90
what amounts 70 confiscation. Particular
attention was directed 10 decision OF
Justice Brewer, holding a Nebraska
freight rate Eaw unconstitutional on the
ground that the maximum charges pre-
scTihed by the legislature were excessive
reductions from rates then IN force, and
below the reasonable compensation which
the carriers We're entitled 10 charge.
The sheets again passed clearly through
the stock exchange clearing house and
fears Of failures as an after-elap to the
panic were nowhere seriously entertained.

point.
Washington advices indicated that Of
ferings OF short Is for redemption was
smaller than has been expected, bug some
bankers. who deal extensively in govern
ment bonds. said IT was natural that the
process of redemption should be slow. The
bonds are held by estates and small in
vestors all over the country, and 1t takes
time 10 get the news OF the offer to them,
as well as for them to consider the offer.
II appeared to be the general impression
that no large portion Of the bonds would
be redeemed this week, and that perhaps,
the Secretary's offer would be found un-
filed, for large portion Of the bonds at
least. on April ].

H. Agnew. of Henry Clews & Co.
AT this level there is practically no de-
mand for stocks The buying-what
there has been Of it-has resulted from
shorts covering at good profits, on stocks
sold at the high level Saturday. The
large Inoneyed interests. which stepped
into the breach on Friday TO prevent the
market from going to pieces, now have
stocks for sale. As far as the specula-
tive public and bull cliques are concerned,
they have been too badly crippled TO lend
much support hereafter. The recent sQuaA
in the market was not panic. IL might
be more correctly described as an earth
quake. A panic can be explained, but an
earthquake cannot. 1t has been a battle
royal between the people and the rail-
roads The government. representing
the people. has won The result viii be
to soften political discomfort. to take the
wind out of the sails Of the demagOgic
element, and weaken the socialistic move
ment calling for government ownership
now made unnecessary. While the ag-
gregate OF losses has been immense, the
benefits TO our form of government and
the nation will outweigh the disaster,
severe as 1t has been. I am still OF the
opinion that the market is a sale every
time it IS lifted, and viii be for some
time to come. Sell on ali good rallies
Benjamin Woodruff. Of Post & Flag
1.-THE bear party are at it again, selling
stocks freely. A moderate setback was
natural. after the great advance on Fri
day and Saturday. but I hardly looked
for stocks to decline as fast as they have
to-day, and this continued weakness is
decidedly disappointing TO the bull inter
ests. Every one feels rather discouraged
tonight. but it is incredible that We
should have further heavy liquidation
after the recent panic. for such a thing
is unheard Of It looks 70 me as If We
we're going to have an Up and down mar
ket for the time being, and I would ad-
wise the sale of stocks on rallies rather
than purchases for a while"

the call the board went into executive
session, at which the failure Of the

riman wished TO put under obligations to
himself. Hartman and his principal as
sociates are not believed 10 have placed
all their holdings in the pool, but TO have

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1.-THE Ex-
aminer says that a secret meeting In
Oakland last night Of 100 members Of
the Chinese Native Sons Of the Golden
State revealed the fact that elaborate
an secret service is maintained on the
Pacific Coast among the native born
Chinese to fight the slave traffic which
has become so prevalent within the past
Ave years. The meeting also resulted in
the adoption OF a plan to overthrow the
tong war and tong organizations which
have become a great factor In the pro-
lection Of slave dealers. The secret serv-
Ice system or organization extends along
the Pacific Coast as far east as Mon.
tana. At the meeting last night, plans
for drafting petition to be presented to
Secretary Oscar Straus Of the Depart
ment OF Commerce and Labor asking
him to utilize the secret Chinese organi-
zation for prevention Of slave traffic,
were adopted.
