INDICTMENT WEATHER
MAKES dull MARKET
Money Continues to Flow Into
New York, and Surplus Re
serves Are Increasing.
GAIN OF FIFTEEN MILLIONS
Loans Are Pressing on the Mar
ket and 2 Percent. Was the
Ruling Rate.

NEW YORK. January a4.-rhc ex.
Irene dullness, approaching at times
stagnation OF the Days stock market
was partly attributed to the Indictment
weather, which diminished the attend.
lance at the Stock Exchange to q
notable extent. The return flow OF
money to banking reserves evidently
goes on in an undiminished tide. The
known movements OF money fol the
week, according 10 the estimate OF the
most trustworthy authorities, indicate
Ia gain In cash BY the banks Of about
S15,OO0.00d. The action OF the money
market gives abundant evidence TINT
last autumn's s1oo,000.00o OF gold iln-
ports and S50.000.00Q OF bank note eA-
pansion are now leaving their results
OF plethoric conditions in the money
market. with the turning back of tile
sums then driven into boarding by thu
panic, Money continued to press on
the market for call loans on account
OF both the, local and out.of-town banks
to-day, and no better rate tt:an per
CENT could be procured for II. Rates
Tor time loans also continued to yteld
and the demand for mercantile paper
TO broaden. The withdrawal of Treasury
deposits from the New 1ofKs pallRa
has begun without checking the down
ward tendency OF money rates. and
some outward movemento of gold is be-
.:iieved likely to result Notwithstanding
the declining interest rates for money
abroad.
Speculative operations of the larger
class are on an insignificant scale Two
events which are supposed to be await.
..d as necessary prelilninaries to any
new speculative stand are the quar-
ierly report OF the United States Steel
Corporation. neSt Tuesday and the
complexion OF the proposed prosecn-
ton by the government against the
Hartman railroad merger. Reports Of
THE intended cutting III half OF the
leather output for the coming year
and rumors OF one or two minor bust
ness einharrassnents were factors IN
the days market. One OF the down
ward fluctuations of prices was in
progress when tho market closed.

schools, where black and white do
not mix. He believes In Democratic
principles and stands for the com.

Means Much for The Country

From the Louisville Times.
"Mr. Roosevelt carried Missouri
and some OF the border states. Mr..
TAFT wants to carry at least one OF
the 'solidly southern states. Ii hard
work can get him what he wants it
will be his. 1t Is an engaging feature
OF the present contest that the Re
publicans finally have found that a
part OF the South a. least Is debat.
able ground. The fact means much
for the country. Chicago Evening
Post.
Verify, the war is over when a
northern newspaper can see In she
financial benefit OF one. or, at most,
two southern states, a fact that
"means much for the country"
Should Mr.. Taft make an effort to
carry North Carolina or Tennessee,
there's no denying that the Republi-
cans In those states will face she
coming winter with less concern at
the prospect Of hard times, thanks
to the enforced generosity OF Mr..
Tait's campaign committee, but
aside from the financial benefit they
derive, there will be nothing TO show
for the hard work and good money
expended in the deluslve hope OF
carrying southern state.
1t would not be neighborly for
Democrats TO grudge Mr.. Tai. giving
the Southern Republicans all they
ask for. It would not be Democratic
not to hope sincerely that he will
pursue just such a course, There'd
be that much less money to spend In
states where it might do him some
good.
