Of the rights to the new per cent bonds

The few orders for these bonds were filled
at loSh. and they were still to be had on
that level when the trading closed. Tho

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 18.-This morning Q
stock market was generally heavy and q
number of individual stocks were distinctly
weak. There was little or nothing In the
way of actual news over night or with
the course OF the business session. which
would account directly for the movements
In the market-at-large or in particular
stocks
The London stock market was closed to-
day and will not reopen until Tuesday
morning. so no influence was exerted from
that direction. The indications point to
fairly strong bank statement. but this pros
pect did not seem to play any part in
the days trading in securities.
The mornings weather and crop advices
from the west were reassuring and the
grain market was decided reactionary, but
even that circumstance was treated as a
negligible factor.
Rather vague rumors were current during
the morning of another very large note is
sue by some unnamed corporation, and in
view of the prevailing temper of Wall
street these reports carried a larger influ-
ence In the stock market than the actual
facts In the case did.
The pending financing by the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway Company and the forth
coming changes In the directorate of the
company might be named as accounting for
the special weakness in that particular
case. but otherwise such declines as were
noted in the railway list were not accom-
panied by any actual news or gossip of now
city.
q. p. and Reading Leaders.
Weak and relatively active features were
St. Paul. Northern Pacific and Great North
ern preferred. Union Pacific and Reading
were. as usual, the leaders in respect of ac-
tivity and both stocks showed better de-
gree of rallying power than was evinced
elsewhere.
The local traction shares were weak, with
quite pronounced pressure showing in the
Interborough- Metropolitan stocks
Price movements in the Industrial and
miscellaneous issues were in line with
those in the general market, and the heavi.
ness of the United States Steel shares
might be named as an additional factor
in the depression In the remainder Of the
list.
The bank statement measured up fairly
we'll to the hopeful expectations which had
been entertained regarding 1t. The increase
In actual cash of So, 4O6. 900 was in line
with the preliminary estimates and the loan
account showed the quite nominal change
OF a decrease Of S1.414,O00
The deposit item increased 81 ,6S1 ,OO0 but
surplus reserves rose 81, 986, 600 and now
stand at $11.472OO0. Surplus reserves in
the corresponding week of last year were
$40. 49, 900, in 1905 $s,219.OOO. and In 1904.

Kuroki's Message,

1.-THE Japanese people love peace read
the Secretary from the bit of paper. "They
fought for peace. My nation wants peace
in which to develop the opportunities that
are hers. We have no other desire.
1.-THE profession which have the misfor-
tune to follow is noble only because some
times it Is necessary to establish conditions
in which peace may be maintained and In
which the arts OF peace may flourish"
Americans alike greeted Gen. Kurokfs
message. The general sat back in his chair
and seemed not to know that 1t was his
words that had evoked the demonstration.

Former Assistant Cashier
of Walsh Bank Tells
His Story.
MADE OUT MANY NOTES
Each for $4,000 and 1t Was
Immediately Discounted by
Institution.

Chicago. Nov. 22.-Frederick w. Nc
Lain, formerly assistant cashier of the
Chicago National bank, told on the
witness stand today in the trial of
John r. Walsh of the making by him
of a number of memorandum notes,
each for the sum of S92 1000 and he
made the notes, signed various names
to them, and discounted them at the
direction of Walsh.
Notes Later Destroyed.
When the notes, he said, were paid
by means of discount credit tickets
they were destroyed. The same col
lateral, 100000 in bonds of the Illinois
Southern railway, was accepted by the
bank for old and new notes.
Farmer II Good Witness.
Chicago, Nov pa farmer came
down from Canada yesterday to tes-
tify against John R. Walsh. The story
he told TO the jury in Judge Ander-
sons court was the most positive and
enlightening testimony the government
has put forward so far in support of
its contention that Walsh misapplied
$7000,00 of the funds of the Chicago
National bank.
The farmers name is Frederick w
Mclean. From 1882 until Feb 1,
1906, Mclean was employed in the
Chicago National bank. For forur
years of that time he was assistant
cashier. and had charge of the notes
discounted and the bond sales which
form such large part of the govern
ment case.
Worked Under WaIsh's Direction.
He made out in various names the
famous memorandum notes which
!netted the Walsh railroads millions of
the banks money. He testified that
he did this under the direction of
Walsh. Previous to this. one of the
men whose name was signed to a
1920 note had testified that he knew
nothing Of the transaction and had au-
thoriZed no one to sign his name
Mclean took the stand late in the
afternoon. He proved to be a quiet.
modest man-not at all the unwilling
Walsh ally the government lawyers
had expected.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-11-22

secured a 131a-foot head of water fur
ther up the river. but he said it was
likely he never would have undertaken
the work if he could not have made
arrangements with the canal board.
He testified that neither Mr.. Snapp,
Mr. Madden, nor any other politician
who had aided him had done so for
any other reason than that furnished
by their desire to aid the deep water
way project. AS an aid to the ship
canal he said he considered 1t one of
its chief friends and his work at Dres-
den Heights as entirely beneficial to
the project.
