An advance to ! 13 1-2 cents per pound was announced l by Calumet & Hecla. This advance 1 was concurrent with increased strength in that metal in the European markets. Further intimations of la bor troubles were received from the i mine workers of Ohio and the ma chinists of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford road. while vet an other wage reduction by one of the i important textile mills of Massachus- etts served to call renewed attention to that phase of the industrial situa- tion. Reductions in the dividends oi Pacific coast common and second pre-. ferred, resulted in substantial declines in those issues In the early after noon the market was thrown into some confusion upon learning that the Union Pacific directors were in ses. sion discussing some financing plan Union Pacific fluctuated feverishly and broke sharply when it became known that the new financing contemplates an issue of perhaps S50,000. 900 bonds The street was plainly disappointed al ] lne IeNS, diSo al tIH ldlihTt ol ueAel

PASS BANK RESERVE BILL.
Assembly Gets Measure Through De-
 spite Upstate Objection.

Albany, March 26-By a vote of s1 to 45 the assembly this morning pass ed the bill amending the banking law with reference to the money reserve of banks. The bill changes from 15 to % per cent. of the deposits, the amount of reserve that must be held in New York and Brooklyn, and from 10 to 15 per cent. the amount elsewhere.
 A strenuous fight was made against the measure on behalf of the country banks by Assemblyman Lupton, but he was beaten.
 Assemblyman James A. Francis, chairman of the assembly banks com mittee, and J. Mayhew Wainwright led the fight for the bill.
 This measure is one of those pro- posed by Clark Williams, superintend- ent of the banks.
 The apparent determination of the legislature to carry out the governor s recommendation to the matter is now obvious.

New York, March 26,-Gifford. Hobbs X Beers, attorneys for Charles W. Morse, this afternoon filed with the United States circuit court their clients answer to the suit brought by Charles A. Hanna, as receiver for the National s4O5,67662. Morse denies that he owes the bank any such sum.
 An odd thing about the denial is that the items listed in it, all of which Morse denies. foot up s40667662, or one thousand dollars more than the footing of the list of sums in the claim filed by the receiver.

The stock market swayed up and down at midday as Union Pacific rose and fell. Two theories were at first of fered to account for the meeting which was in progress.

John H. Downs, who was here last
week defending his title to the Brown
land that was in controversy in the d.
vorce suit last week, was the democratic
candidate for county treasurer in Grant
county in 1906. He came within a few
votes Of being elected in that republican
stronghold and led his ticket considerably.
Mr.. Downs was also a member Of the
recent Hutchinson convention. 1t must
be admitted that if he is the scoundrel
that many people Of this county believe
him to be, he has succeeded in deceiving
those who know him best. Personally,
Mr.. Downs appears to be courteous,
pleasant gentleman and hasn't the ap-
pearance Of a rogue. Another thing in
his favor is that he has no words Of cen
sure for the court who found against him
nor for the widow who was so inhuman-
Iy treated by her husband. If all that he
claims is true, it is to be hoped that # the
final judgment Of the courts should be
against him, he will be able to recover
from the supreme rascal in this unfortu-
nate transaction. A few Of Mr.. Downs
friends in Sharon township still believe
him to be victim Of circumstances.
