Being Constantly Strengthened Until They
 Are Believed to Be |mpreqnabIe
The Business Situation is Rapidly Improving Tn New York and So Reported From All Parts of the Country

the comptroller of the currency to get notes in circulation are meeting with considerable success. Calls for bank circrlations are so numerous that the maj can hardl,- be handled promptly. Some Of the amounts ap- piled for are small but they are scat tered all over the ountry and it is be- lieved that they will aid materially in relieving the local pressure. The price of United States bonds was firmer to- day than for some time, showing an increase in several classes of from 1-2 to l per cent, indicating that the banks were in the market as purchas- CTS.
 The fact that tomorrow is election day, and legal holiday in New York. will afford time for perfecting further plans for mutual support which were well under way today. The magnitude of the accumulation of American pro- ducts is indicated by the fact that the railroads find themselves unable to move it to the seaboard, notwithstand- ing the enormous development of traf- fife facilities in the last few years Many lines have made large increases but their combined facilities are sub jected to a severe strain in getting the accumulated products from the central west to the seaboard.

New York. Nov. 4.-The buoyancy of the stock market today reflected the ultimate decision of the large bankers to support the two institu- tions. the Trust Company of America and the Lincoln Trust Co, which have been subjected to the most severe runs during the last two weeks. The day was one of doubt and conflicting ru- mors, and the fact that it passed with out adverse development is evidence that the worst situation is probably over.
 At late hour this morning an agreement was reached, largely through the influence of Morgan, by which the trust companies will co-op- crate in the future for mutual protec- ton. The directors will tender the as- sistance of their personal fortunes to meet immediate necessities. The as-' sets of the two threatened companies were carefully gone over by experts on Saturda- and Sunday and both were found solvent with a consider able surplus after paving all claims providing for the capital stock. Un- der the circumstances it was thought advisable for the big men to support them cordially. if they would adhere thoroughly to conservative methods and direction in the future.
 The gold engagements since the be- ginning of the present movement now amount to s32. .00O, 900. which will more than bridge the loss in the surplus re- serve last wesk. That the disturb ;gA ha exchange market are arousing con- cern in foreign markets was indicat- ed today by rise in foreign exchange on New York. considerably above the point at which gold could be profit ably imported. The fact that it is still coming this wa.- indicates the determination o< New York bankers to strengthen their position even at a loss. The high rate for bills is caused b. the demand for exchange to cover the arrival of gold and cotton bills arc not -et fulI.- available be- cause shipments are slow. The bills themselves are subjected to consider able scrutiny before they are taken.
 The fact that the New York market bid a sufficient premium on gold to absorb 300.000 pounds from the open market and the withdrawal of 63S.000 pounds from the Bank of England, in dicated that the increased discount rate of the bank of England. made at q special meeting today before the opening of the New York market from ! 1-2 to per cent, Eas not suffic- tent to check the gold movement Hence there arose much talk in Lon don that the rate would be advanced to : at the regular meeting of the board of governors on Thursday. This will be the highest rate attained in many years. but with the gold already on the way. or engaged for shipment, even a higher rate of the Bank of Eng land would probably not injure Amer ica.

FOOL NOTION
 SAYS FOWLER
Speaking of the Proposed
 Extra Session
What the Business of the Country Needs is Rest Not Agitation.

New York, Nov. At would be most unwise to call an extra session of con- gress now to consider the currency legislation and the federal control of corporations, in the opinion of Charles NJ. Fowler of New Jersey. chairman of the banking and currency committee of the house of representatives.
 What the country needs more than anything else,'' said MT. Fowler, ''is rest and recuperation and a revival of faith and hope in American manhood; not unrest and apprehension, the de- struction of confidence and credit in American business.
 'The banks of the United States of which there are more than 12.O00, with the rarest exceptions. managed by hon. est and able men and considered from the standpoint of assets. are sounder and stronger today than they have been at any time in the history of the country although owing to the want of wise and proper currency system they are temporarily short of sufficient currency to transact business. Just four weeks from today congress will meet in regular session and nothing could be gained by an extra session."

A BRIEF SHUDDER
 AND THEN COURAGE
A Hopeful First Day of the Stock
 Market Yesterday.

New York, Nov. 4.-The stock mark ct had a brief attack of nervousness today but il passed almost as quickly as d shudder through the human frame. The momentary shock caused some deep inroads on prices. but the recovered level represented not only d full repair by the losses but some sub stantial gains. Before the day was over a revised construction had been placed on some of the very occurrences which had caused at the opening a break in prices so that they were made to aid materially in the recovery. To start with. a sinister significance was attached to prolonged conferences which had ben going on every Sun day between many prominent bankers and capitalists of high standing. It had been sought to attribute to re- newed crisis the New York Trust com pany situation. A later view of these incidents was what resulted in the so Ratification and fertilization of the trust company situation and incident ally paving the way for further con solidation of the iron and steel in- dustry of the country.

More Than Usual Interest Felt In An Off
 Year Election
The Points Upon Which Attention is Especially FO- cusscd--Clevealnd is Claimed With Confidence bv Both Parties--ClOse in Kentucky.

Washington. Nov. 4.-The elections which take place in thirteen states to- morrow may develop some indications of possible tendencies in the national campaign next year. The fact that contests affecting congress are prom ised in but few instances has a some what deterring influence, but the more astute forecasters expect to find signs which will be determinative.
 There are ten general state elections. The keenest interest in local contests is in New York City, Cleveland, San Francisco and Salt Lake In New York the struggle between Tammany and the fusion ticket is regarded as of vast significance and most wagers, great and small, turn upon the out come in that contest. Next in popular interest comes the municipal contests in Cleveland. Both Burton and John son are personally known here. the former being q member and the latter a former member of the house of rep resentatiVes. The interest is there fore personal as well as political Salt Lake receives attention because of the prominence of the Mormon question. and San Francisco on account of the recent occurrences in connection with the administration.
 In Massachusetts. Maryland. Mis- souri, Rhode Island, Kentucky and New Jersey governors are to be chos- en and in all of them except New Jer- sey full state tickets.
 In Virginia. New York, Pennsylvan- ia and Nebraska the elections are for inferior state officers or for members of the legislature and county offices. In all cases the results will he care fully scanned here for signs of changes which may possibly bear on the general conflict of 1908.

OKLAHOMA fINANClER
 HAS A PLAN OF RELIEF
Governor Haskell Would Close Wall Street and Turn the Money Back Into the Country.

Guthrie. Okla, Nov. 4.-"If my ad- vice is worth anything it would be to declare ninety day holiday on the New York stock exchange" declared Governor-elect Haskell tonight when asked his opinion as to the best way of putting the country on a sound finan- cial footing.
 Money that has been flowing into Wall street could then be used to market the crops and the wealth of the country would be so interested as to put the country at ease and even carry the gamblers through another period of reckless financiering" continued Haskell. The next congress should make amends for it's neglect in the past by adopting a financial system equal to the needs of commerce and free from any special favoritism to class or from domination by any spe- cial interest"
