Stocks being sold to satisfy loans and to
provide money for myriads of people who
can put themselves in funds In no other
way: Banks are especially relentless in
sacrificing collateral behind loans. Stocks

rinced prices are about the only kind of
property for which there is any cash mar
ket, and this sort of stuff has to 60 over

Advices from the west represent the
grain growers and cattle raisers as being
especially hard hit on account of the cur
rency famine. They are virtually debarred
in many quarters from selling their prod
ucts. Another incident bearing on this
phase Is the sudden cure Of the evil of
freight congestion, about which there Is
always urgent complaint at this season of
the year. The currency famine put quick
stop to the car famine. In one short week
the Union Pacific went from the extreme
of no cars available to 1000 idle cars and

HEARST GIVEN SETBACK.
New York Recount Law Held to 30
Unconstitutional.

New York, July Il Justice Ingra-
ham, in the appellate division of the
supreme court, has announced that
the court had unanimously decided
that the recount law, which provides
for recount Of the ballots cast In the
last mayoralty election in New York
city, Is unconstitutional.
In view Of the action Tuesday Of
the appellate division in Brooklyn in
deciding that William r. Hearst is
entitled to recount under this law
Justice Ingraham stated that it had
been decided to let the case go to the
court of appeals for final decision. In
the meantime, Justice Ingraham said,
the court would issue an order for a
stay of proceedings under the law un-
til the court of appeals had time to
render decision. Clarence j. Shearn,
counsel for Mr.. Hearst, raised the
point that the court had no authority
to issue an order to stay the opera
ton of law passed by the legisla-
ture. After an argument the court
reserved decision.
The decision of the appellate divi-
sion precludes the possibility of re-
count of ballots in the last mayoralty
election until fall, as the court of ap.
peals will not be able to reach the
case until October.

Member Of Parliament Wins Libel
Suit Against London Papers.

Liverpool, July 1 The attempt
made In the fall Of 1906 to organize a
huge soap combine in the United
Kingdom, which quickly came to an
end under the pressure of adverse
public opinion, had a sensational Sc

H. Lever, Liberal member of parlia-

Cheshire, secured Judgment for dam
ages Of $250,000 and costs against the
Harmsworth newspapers, the Daily

the course Of the controversy that fol-
lowed the attempt to bring about the
combination.
After hearing that lasted for two
days the defendants suddenly with
drew their plea Of justification and
agreed to pay the amount demanded.
Mr.. Lever, it is declared, took a
leading part In the efforts to establish
the soap combine.

case are by far the largest ever paid

Seoul, Korea, July Following a
cabinet meeting, which lasted four
hours, the premier had an audience
with the emperor in the evening con-
tinuing for three hours. 1T has trans
plred that the premier made strong
~ worded representation of the gray
ity OF the situation caused by his
majesty's sending a delegation to the
peace conference at The Hague. He
boldly pointed out the necea4sty for
the emperor's abdication in favor Of
the crown prince and Of his proceed
Ing to Toxic and apologizing to the
emperor of Japan. The Korean en-
peror made no definite reply. ...
On retiring from the palace the pre-
mier Immediately called another cab
met meeting. which lasted until 2
o'clock In the morning. 1t is believed
that the ministers will insist on the
abdication of tke emperor at all risk.
The II Ching Hoi Progressive asso-
citation, which Is supporting the pres
ent cabinet, has officially applied to
Marquis Ito to help save Korea from
the grave consequences of the EN-.
peror's action against Japan.
Emperor Likely to Resist.
1t is not considered likely that the
emperor will yield to the demand for
his abdtcation without a struggle.
Despite the perturbed feeling and
excitement of the court and cabinet
the populace generally is calm.
Even the Anti-Japanese association
has issued manifesto urging a peace
full attitude at this critical stage of
the situation. The emperor, in the
opinion Of close observers, has alien
ated popular affection.
Although Korea is under an abso-
lutte monarchy the democratic custom
has existed since olden days of de-
handing the retirement from the
throne of a sovereign whose conduct
endangers the national welfare When
such an occasion arises the usage pre-
walls that all the cabinet ministers
shall appear before their ruler One
OF them, acting as spokesman, humbly
states the advisability of the en-
peror's retirement in favor of the
rightful successor. When this state
Is reached the emperor is morally
bound to abdicate.
1t Is reported that the emperor has
withdrawn 100000 yen deposited in
the Bank of Shanghai.
