Big Advance in Price of Rice,

The price of rough rice has been 60

due to the limited amount of last

FIlNANCIERS ANXIOUSL
WATCHING WALL STREET

WASHINGTON, JAN 14-Regarding
John D. Rockefeller's doleful picture
Of existing financial and industrial
conditions, Secretary Shaw and every
other high official of the federal treas
ury is silent Attempts were made to
draw the secretary into a discussion,
and the statement was made that the
money situation is tense on Wall
street, with the call rate at times well
up toward the maximum of records. 1t
was also stated to the secretary that
there was a feeling in New York,
among some conservative bankers,
that Mr.. Rockefeller's lugubriant
comments might engender fear in
western banking houses, preventing
the back-flOw to Wall street of their
excess deposits, now that the crop
moving strain has passed in major
part, and the holiday season ended; it
was pointed out that Notwithstanding
the bank statements showed a slight
Strengthening of the reserve, the
cash requirements were too great for
the resources at hand. Emphasis was
placed on the Rockefeller pronounce
ment.
81 cannot comment on any other
mans statement" was the answer
of the secretary. my own statement
issued the first of the year embodies
my views of the existing situation.
cannot add to it,
1t is known, however, that Wash
ington was keeping a close watch on
the street" and reading the tapes"
with anxious eye. There were men
Of potent influence in governmental
circles who even suggested that Mr..
Rockefeller was striving to brighten
the administration by suggesting, as
he did, that continued assaults upon
the corporations by government Off
Gals would bring disaster. One treas
ton said that Mr.. ROckefeller's as
sertions went to political rather than
purely financial considerations, and
that it was to be viewed solely in
that light, to be ignored by those who
have to do with the technical manage
ment of the nations finances.
Is Nervous Feeling.
Nevertheless, there is a nervous
| feeling in many quarters, and it is
ardently hoped that the bucolic dis
tricts and western centers of financial
strength will not deviate from the rule
always heretofore Obtaining-that OF
sending surplus money to Wall street
after the first of the year, in answer
to the higher interest rates paid there
1t is realized here in every govern
ment department in which the nation
al finances are officially considered
that the soidity of the Wall street
financial structure rests just now with
the country banks, as all banking
houses outside of New York are des
ignated; that the usual back-fow OF
excess money to the street would re
]ieve the strained situation; in short
that in a large measure the country,
fate is in the hands of the small coun
try banks, who, may say whether OF
not there shall be disaster.
In support of the contention ina
the banks outside of New York CIT!
are in command of the situation OF
Wall street.
National bank deposits in the Unit

led States increased 1913 per cent from
1896 to 1905; such. deposits in New
York city increased only 125 per cent,
! but depos..s in reserve cities other
than New York increased 155 per cent
and in country banks 1872 per cent.
These figures should be read with
this in mind-the formation of an I'M
precedented number of immense cor
porations in New York city in the
| past decade has created demand for
an enormously larger working capital
proportionally than was needed in the
year 1895.
| In 1895, Wall and Broad streets
loaned to the outside districts, while
now Wall street is constantly doing
business on capital sent from the
country banks, because of the higher
interest rate prevaning in the street.
Figures given by the comptroller OF
the treasury, showing the relation be-
tween the distribution of money
through the country in 1895 and 1905
are fairly staggering, showing as they
do the march of the outside banks to-
ward a position of dominance in ma
tional finances.

private banks decreased from % in

SCARE CROW OF PROFESSOR
Portland High School Pupils Show
Disrespect Of Teacher of Math-
ematics and May Be Punished

PORTLAND. Jan. 1.-THE dressing
professor of mathematics and the dis
playing of it in a prominent place in
the professors room few days ago
have caused a storm at the high school
that may result in severe punishment
| for certain youths with a welldevelop-
| Ell sense OF humor-if they can be
caught.
| At the noon hour when Professor
Arthur E. Breeze. who presides in the
mathematics room, was out, number
of boys stole into the place and i'm
mediately got busy putting into exc
cution a scheme which their active
minds had evolved. One lad. with
some ability in the art line, drew the
face of a modern Isl Perkins and
pasted it on the facee of large school
globe This was topped off with little
red "skidOo" hat. A piece of paper ana
dust cloth served to make a collar
and vest ruler stuck through the
supports of the globe served as shoul-
ders upon which was hung an over
coat borrowed for the occasion from
the cloakroom. A WORKOUT whlsk-
broom attached to the globe just un-
der the chin of the sketched race
served remarkably well as whiskers.
An empty bottle found somewhere was
stuck into the pocket of the over
coat, so that it's neck protruded IN
very suggestive manner. The pro-
fessOr' was duly labeled and the con-
spirators stole safely away before Pro-
lessor Breeze returned. Everybody was
" put next to watch the fun.
When Professor Breeze saw the scare
crow he grew very angry, so the stu
dents say, and went to Professor DAVIS
with a wall of complaint. The pro-
fessor' was ruthlessly destroyed and
here came an order for all the boys
