Vague Rumors Of Change in Govern

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 11.-At the OPEN
Ing of business in this mornings stock
market there was nothing novel OF any
Importance presented for consideration ana
consequently discussion was mainly directed
backward to the Unexpectedly weak show
ing made by the associated banks IN their
statement on Saturday.
1t appeared to be the common expecta-
ton that the exhibit made in that document
indicated closer conditions in the money
market, and these ideas found some con-
firmation in an early rise in the rates LOT
loans on call from per cent to above
per cent. The stock market was according
ly during the first hour of business ex-
tremely dull and irregular, with actuai
weakness in some directions. The trading
during that period was, however. almost
wholly of a professional character
Shortly after II o'clock dispatches were

Spectators Act Quickly.

Doubtless spectators in stocks were over
prone to jump at the conclusion that the
Secretary's announcement implied the I'M
mediate release of S25.0OO,OO of govern
ment funds AS matter of fact. 1t Is Well
ulgh impossible to reckon with any uncer-
tainty upon the amounts which will be pre-
sented for redemption. There have OF late
been quite animated dealings In this issue,
and considerable amounts of the bonds were
purchased somewhat below the prevailing
quotation. which Is virtually represented by
the treasurys bid price.
1t may be recalled that the offer of Mr..
Shaw in December to purchase $4,000 900
of these bonds was accepted only to the eX-
tent of about 80 per cent. STILL today 8
proposition had the effect Of minimizing the
uneasiness with regard to the money mar
ket outlook which was excited by Satur-
days bank return, and in consequence a
dull and irregular stock market was con-
verted into fairly active and strong one.
In the early dealings Canadian Pacific,
Great Northern preferred and Northern Pa
cifc reflected certain amount of pressure.
but these securities participated in the gen.
eral recovery. following the news from
Washington. There were few other Ccvel-

More Washington Advices.

There were further advices from Wash
ington along the same lines that were
noted last week, suggesting some vague
and indefinite change in the attitude of
the federal authorities toward corpora
tions and still further suggesting the
probability that the present Congress
would enact a measure permitting of the
deposit of the governments custom re-
ceipts with the national banks. 1t would
appear. however. that If there were any
strong prospect for such legislation Sec
rotary Shaw would hardly have taken
the step he did today.
At the opening of business another fac
tor in the tendency of the market at that
time. the more so because of the interest
taken in the money market outlook, was
found in the failure of our bankers to OBJ
tain any part of the new gald which ar
rived in the open London market today.
The Bank of England managed to secure
the bulk of the consignment. circum-
stance which exercised no material in
fuence in the dealings upon the London
stock exchange. The market there was
reported dull and rather heavy, and for
eign houses were sellers here upon q
small scale.

her several times and told her he had,
beginning in May, stolen several thou-
sand dollars from the bank Wnere ne

stolen money has never been found.

TRAINING OF CANARIEs.
Where They Come From and How
They Are Taught to Sing.

The breeding and training of cana
r1es, a large number of which are
shipped to the United States from the
Harz Mountains, in Germany, is an
interesting and little known industry.
The breeding and selling of canaries
in Germany has reached such proper
tons that 1T now controls the markets
of the world. The annual value of
the trade is conServatively estimated
to be $23S.000. In st. Andreasburg
alone $4,000 birds year are raised
for export. For an exceptionally good
singer and breeder at least 800 marks
must be paid. and 100 marks is often
the price of a good so-called "Vor-
sanger or a bird used to teach the
young canaries to sing by example.
The normal price for good singers va
ries from IL to 35 marks. 1t may be
mentioned that the mark is equivalent
to about "a cents.
Absolute quiet and undisturbed in
innate relations exist between the
breeder and his birds. Many of the
socaIled Herr canaries'' which are
imported into the United States are
bred in the city of Magdeburg. where
some of the best singers are trained.
The training of the young birds to
sing correctly is one of the most i'm
portant and laborious parts of the
breeders business. The young birds,

Rankin, the 5-year-old child. for which
dozens of men have been searching
continuously since the bodies of the 9TH
ar three children were found.
1t is possible that the efforts of the
men who have been searching for the
body were responsible for its discovery
Many charges of dynamite were fired
in the deep places along the river for
| mile, but although nets, seines and
woven wire fences were stretched across
the stream at intervals for a distance
Of mile and half, the body slipped
by in some way. and was found far
below the point of the island.
A false hope was raised yesterday
when a child'S footprints were found in
the sand leading away from the spot
where the children were drowned. The
parents had some hopes that the small
est child, dazed by the fate of his
brother and comrades, had fled into the
woods and become unbalanced by
fright This theory was quickly explod-
ed by tracking the footprints and find
ing that they had returned to the water
and the parents gave up all hope of
ever seeing their child alive.
About 80 Santa Fe shopmen, shop
mates of the distracted father, quit
work at noon Wednesday and Joined in
the search. They waded, Owed. drag
ged hooks and other implements and
dynamited the deep places in the river.
The men of Oakland turned out in force
and did their best. Several men waded
in the river for over 20 hours without
going home for sleep or meals.
The body of the elder Rankin boy
was found Tuesday night, and the
bodies of the two Fleming boys were
discovered about noon the next day. all
within a quarter of a mile of the place
where they We're drowned, and for this
reason the majority of the searchers
confined their attentions to that To-
cality. This is the first tragedy of the
Kaw this season, although the treach-
erous stream usually claims about
dozen small boys each year.
1t appears that an injustice was done
]. Heron, the old man who hauls sand
from the river, in the first accounts of
the accident. 1t was told that he drove
away with his load, leaving the small
boys in the water. This is not correct,
according to the story told by a woman
who lives on the north bank of the
river. Late in the afternoon she saw
the boys wading in the water, and the
old man loading sand. AS he was fin
ishing his load he shouted at the boys,
telling them to get out of that" The
children came cut of the water and
put on their clothes, and then the old
man drove away AS soon as he was
out of sight the children went further
down stream and again removed their
clothes. The woman who was watch
ing them went in the house to prepare
the evening meal, and in a few min
utes came out again. The children were
gone, and she presumed that they had
gone home.
