CALL MONEY is STILL HIGH

NEW YORK, October 10.--There was
some further urgent liquidation con-
Quoted at the Stock Exchang to-day,
which caused violent declines In many
sections OF the list of securities, al
though at others some SHOW OF sta
bility was made, partly because neces-
sary liquidation in some stocks mas al
ready been effected: Eartly by reason
OF buying by uncovered shorts WHO
had followed the preceding decline, ana
partly, 1t was assumed, by reason OF
supporting measures placed in the mar
ket by friends of various securities. II
was reported that In some loans that
were maturing severe discrimination
was exercised against some OF the In
d,istrinl stocks which figured as col
lateral. The motives for this cleaning
up process were not Indicated by any
Immediate news OF the day, but the
condition of the money market and the
prospect Of additional strain there were
believed to lie back of the action. The
fact that call money holds firmly near
per cent. ms 1t has done since the
first of tho month, In itself proves
Encouraging to the carriers of qutes-
cent accounts. An incident was the
heavy selling of United States Steel
preferred. which carried 1t down to q
level where the rate of dividend return
is higher than on the common stock.
The notable feature of the market was
the resistance offered by some Of the
stocks which are favorite mediums of
the most active speculation, and which
ended the day at substantially higher
prices than last night.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par
value, s1542,0o0. United States bonds
were unchanged on call. Total sales

Washington, May 13.-Tams Bixby
Of the Dawes commission arrived in
Washington tonight from Muskogee to
attend the conference Of republican
politicians that win be held here this
week to discuss the constitution Of
the new state Of Oklahoma.
This conference will be attended by
several prominent republican polite
ians OF both territories. Chairman
Sherman and Secretary Watson Of
the republican congressional commit
tee, and others interested in the new
states first campaign. 1t is under
stood that the defects Of the consti-
tuition will be emphasized for the ben
eft Of President Roosevelt in an ef-
fort to convince him that he should
turn it down. The fire Of its oppon-
ents will be turned directly upon the
democratic gerrymander Of the new
state. 1t is declared here that under
this gerrymander the republicans will
have no show whatever in the legislat-
i've elections, regardless of The senti~
ment among the majority of voters Of
the state. It is said that under the
constitution certain counties with
large population have less representa-
tion than other counties with one-third
Of the population of those counties.
That the President is concerned over
the gerrymander is shown by the fact
that he has discussed it with some Of
his callers during the past week.
Chairman Sherman and Representa-
tive Watson are said to be very insist
ent that the President reject the con-
stitution. They seem confident that

COURT SIGNS ORDER.
Grants Injunction Asked by the Oregon
Cumbermen.

Portland, Nov. 1.-FolIowing the de.
cision rendered by the United States
Circuit Court at Seattle Wednesday
Judge Wolverton, of the Federal court,
granted an injunction yesterday re-
straining the railroads from putting in
the advanced lumber rates to the East
until the merits Of the case can be set
before the interstate Commerce COM
mission and hearing be held. The
restraining order was asked by the Ore
gon & Washington Lumber Manufac-
turers association, and upon his return
from Seattle yesterday morning Judge
Wolverton announced that the prayer
Of the lumbermen would be granted.
Judge Wolverton ordered the associa-
tion to put up bond for $3.50 700 that
will be called for in the event the rail-
roads finally win. This money will be
used to pay the difference between the
present rates and the proposed tariffs,
should the railroads finally win.
Lumber companies in the state not
members O. the association are advised
to file suits in intervention as soon as
possible, in order that the railroads
will not be enabled to enforce the pro-
posed freight rates on firms not parties
to the suit brought by the association.
The adv ,nced rates, as announced by
the railroads on all lumber shipments
to the Missouri and Mississippi rivers,
were to have gone into effect today,
but the injunction will postpone them
The increase was pub
lshed some time ago and tariffs issued
by the railroads. Appeals were made
direct to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission to postpone the enforcement
Of the rate, but as no complaint was
before the commission, it could not act
upon the appeal.

WANT TWO MORE BIG SHIPS.
Naval Officers Expect Appropriation
for 10000 Ton Battleships.

Washington, Nov. lit is the opin-
ion of naval officers generaly that con-
gress, at the coming cess OH, should
provide for two new 2O,000-ton battle
sh ps, to be companion ships to those
recently placed under contract. Navy
men believe it is good idea to build
up the naval force in units of four shi ps
each, each ship Of the unit to be identi-
cal with the other three. If this policy
could be adopted, the navy could be
enlarged more rapidly than if the plans
are continually changed. For instance,
if the necessary appropriations could
be obtained for two ships of this type,
contracts could be let for them not later
than the first of next August, and they
would follow along less than year be-
hind the ships recently contracted for.
II there should be any radical change
in shipbuilding before the next con-
tracts could be awarded, the officers
concede that the government would be
justified in modifying ITS plans. For
the present these officers are content
with 20,000ton battleships, and are
not favorable to the immediate con-
struction of ships Of 22,500 or 25, 900
tons, unless congress should see fit to
for more than two battle
ships at the approaching session, and
no one looks for any such abnormal ap-
preparations at this time. If congress
authorizes two new battleships in the
next naval appropriation bill it will be
doing more than many friends of the
navy expect, There is general feel
ing that congress will rather be in
clined to hold down naval appropria-
tion, and authorize one rather than two

RUFF WAS SHADOWED.
Detective Watched When He Went to
Ford's Office.

San Francisco, Oct. 30.-It is likely
that arguments of counsel in the TREY
L. Ford bribery case will be begun to-
day. Assistant District Attorney Hen
ey announced at the adjournment of
court yesterday that he expects to close
the case for the prosecution by IL
o'clock this morning. This means that
Abe Ruef will not be called as wit
ness.
The prosecution yesterday placed on
the stand new and important witness
in the person of Robert H. Peters, an
assistant to William j. Burns. He
testified to having shadowed Ruef to
Ford's office in the United Railroads
carbarns on August %, 1906, the day
on which Ford withdrew from the
branch mint that last 100000 of the
5000, 900 fund a llegedly used to buy the
passage Of the trolley ordinance. Rep
resentatives of several San Francisco
banks testified to the non-deposit by
the United Railroads, Calhoun, Null
laly, Ford or Abbott of the 100000 in
issue
