close of the day the President termi-
mated his fourteen day hunt ON Bear

camp after the close of the days
sport had reached the telegraph sta
ton. The weather was excellent as
it has been throughout the week anu
the party started out in the early
morning in high spirits and in antici-
patton of a fine day with which to
close the fortnight of sport. The
President will reach MI. Shield 5
home during the forenoon and will
meet a number of Mr.. Shields ,
friends at dinner. A special train

dent will board the Pennsylvania
Railroad train which carried him
from Washington to Keokuk and re-
turn to Washington aboard it

Most Panicy Week Wall Street

-
Most Panicky Week Wall Street
Has Known For Long Time.
New York, Special-There was a
, sigh Of relief through the financial
district when the short session of the
stock exchange ended Saturday,
marking. the close of one Of the most
panicky weeks that Wall Street has
known for q long time.
The defamation Of the presidency
! of the Mercantile National Bank by
Mr.. William B. Ridgely, Federal
EComptroIler of the Currency, did not
come until after the business day was
over and therefore had no effect on
the market or the financial situation
in general. What the effect may DC
when the market opens Monday tits
impossible to say, but it is the gen
eral opinion of fnanciers that the
weekend holiday will serve to settle
matters In the street and nnless there
are unexpected developments in the
delicate situation, confidence in a
large measure will be restored by
Monday. The weekly bank statement
showed an unexplained addition Of
S6,443,1O9 to the cash holdings of The
banks, bringing the cash holdings
$11,1S0,000 above the required re-
serves. This is taken to mean that
the banks are preparing themselves
for any crisis that may be forced on
them next week.
On the stock exchange and the
curb practically every stock dealt in
suffered a decline during the
week. United Copper, which is not a
listed stock, and is dealt III only on
the Grub, suffered a net decline OF
33 Us for the common and 91-2 for
the preferred, closing at z "a and %,
respectively. Guggenllimer explora-
ton dropped As points. On the K
change, Amalgamated copper reached
43 1-2, closing Saturday at Al Is and
showing a net loss of 10 in the
week. On the low point reached was
the bottom price for several years and
was n "a points below the high point
for the year. American Smelling also
made a new low mark Of 81 Ia AMI
showed n net loss of Il points on the
week. The low figure was 90 81
points under the high price for the
year and 771-2 under the low price
for 1906. Railroads and industriaiS
suffered during the week but the close
Saturday was in almost every a
substantially above the low figure for
the week.

new with the Secretary
Undoubtedly naval exigencies, sup
plemented by the building of the
giant Cunarders Lusitania and Maur-
itania, was the basis for this pro-
iected change of plan which will in
volve the expenditure of many adj
F.iitionaI millions OF dollars and per-
naps the extension of the time re-
luired for the completion OF the ca
nal project. 1t is also probable that
the mere suggestion of such a con-
siderable change of plans as that pro
posed by Lieutenant Rosscau would
precipitate a general debate in Con-
gress and reopen the whole issue OF
sea level, versus lock canal which
was believed to have been finally set
tied by President Roosevelt and See
rotary Taft when they gave the order
for the beginning of work on the
lock canal plan. The fact is thai
when Congress was so warmly dis.
cussing the two projects about tw3
years ago, the sea level canal adve-
Gates made the point that theirs was
the only plan that would have sufi-
cient elasticity to meet tho needs Of
rapidly increasing tonnage in marine
construction. Their plan involved the
use of but n lock, merely to offse!
the tidal difference between the east
ern and western seas, a comparatively
low and insignificant lock which could
be easily widened when required.
But they made a strong point of the
difficulty, expense and loss of time in
the, use of the canal that. would fol-
low the attempt to widen the compii-
Gated and massive locks required for
tie high level canal.
Possibly f~oreseeing the force OF
that argument, the canal commission
apparently feels that it would be wise
to make the locks of the canal wide
enough in the beginning to accommo-
date the giant ships, not only of the
navy but of the merchant marine,
that are SURE to be constructed in the
near future.
Details of the new plans cannot be
obtained at present, but the change
is said to be costly, though of its ne
cessity few naval officers have any
doubt,

centage basis is called paying them
what they earn for the store. If a
clerk is paid $3.50 a week, and the
selling-expense in the department is
three per cent, she is supposed to be
settling $3.50 worth of goods a week.
Now if she sells an average of $500
