MARKET BACK
TO DULLNl:SS
Investors and Traders Re-
turn to Attitude Of the
First of Last Week

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-There was
hardly enough motor power in the
stock market today to cause any de-
fined current in the price movement.
Only about half dozen stocks were
traded in to the extent of more than
few hundred shares. Contending
parties among the room traders made
the varying fluctuations in these few
stocks. AS for any outside interest
In the market, either in the way of
speculative ventures or of investment
demand, or of marketing of holdings,
the situation was one of profound
neglect.
The speculative attitude evidently
is one of waiting for developments.
The change in conditions either in
the eountry's trade and industry or
in the demand from capital for in
vestment is expected to revive the ac-
tion of the securities market. Sem
timent is not wholly pessimistic in
the financial district in that there is
a hopefulness prevalent that the lin
its of actual contraction in these are
being touched. The arrest of the
heavy accumulation of idle freight
cars, assumptions in some directions
of work by idle factories, better
showing of bank clearings compared
with last years levels than for time
and other indexes are regarded as
evidence of check to the contraction.
But of actual revival of industry
there is not yet sufficient sign to
prompt any speculative commitments
looking to higher values. Fears of
a resumption at intervals and in spe-
cial securities of the kind of forced
liquidation which spotted last weeks
stock market is an additional deter
rent. The covering up of shorts In
the market preliminary to last weeks
holiday seemed to exhaust the out
standing open accounts in the mar
ket Efforts were made to extend
the upward movement from this
cause today. The effort was confined
to the coppers, Reading and the Pa
cifics.
The movement In the coppers was
hampered by renewed decline in
the price of copper warrants in the
London market and by discouraging
reports from the trade as to accum-
ulation of stocks and continued slug
gishness of demand. There were per-
sistent reports also of instability in
the iron market, although explana-
lions were offered on both of the
principal producers that cutting of
prices was confined to smaller inter-
ests to an amount of sales that made
a negligible quantity. The United
States Steel stocks. however, were
somewhat affected by the reports
and their depression interrupted the
slow advance in other stocks. Rail-
road traffic officials had little change
in conditions to report. Slight in
creases in movements of merchandise
in less than carload lots was con-
trasted with a falling off in the
grain movement, the decline in prices
of grain leading apparently to les
sened offerings. A sharp rebound in
wheat prices also was the result of
this. A snow storm, while interrupt
ing traffic to some extent. was con-
sidered beneficial to wheat crop re-
ceipts by providing a covering for the
winter sown grain.

EXTRAVAGANZA GALORE.
a Change Needed in Order to Get
Down to an Economical
Administration.

The federal administration last year
spent $54,O00,000 more than it spent
in the 1898 war. At the recent bank
er's convention Lawrence S. Gillespie,
president of the Equitable Trust Com
pany of New York; discussing the adj
ministration, said:
''As in our private life so in our ma
tional finances, the year 1907 seems to
have been one of exceeding cost and
expenditure. The government state
ent at the end of the fiscal year, June
so, 1908, shows a deficit of 500, 656, 1861
and the increased deficit in July and
August amounting to $2S, 728,000 brings
the total deficit for the preceding four
teen months up to $SS,434, 361, with re-
duced revenues of $65,O00,00O. The
year preceding we had surplus Of
$S7,000,0O0.
"The government disbursement was
1858, 552, 124, being in excess of the
revenues in any year except 1906 and
1897 and $54,O0O,000 more than was
spent in the year when we conducted
the war against Spain and paid the
expense of landing armies in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands,"

TRUSTS ARE NOT HURT
Eut Business in Other Lines Has Been
Seriously Affected by the Panic
That Still Hurts.

Mr.. Taft says that the panic is about
over and that conditions have about
reached normal. That does not CORE
spond with the view of the Chicago
board of education that 5000 children
go to school hungry, partly because
their fathers cannot get employment
and because of the increase in tile
cost Of living.
The Saturday Evening Post, of re-
cent date, contains more statistics
showing that, according to the reports
of the New York savings banks, the
number of accounts opened for the
year ending July l was $1,000 less,
than for the year before, while the
number of accounts closed was $4,000
greater than the year before. The
amount deposited was $35,O0O,OOO less
and the amount withdrawn $41 100000
more. This shows a large shrinkage
in the savings of tie people of that
state. And now comes a New York
wholesaler with the statement that on
July % the firm addressed a letter to
the wholesale grocers, biscuit bakers
and confectioners Of the United States,
asking for figures showing trade con-
dltions at that time compared with six
months before. The following are the
statements for the eastern states
southern states and the middle west:
''Staple groceries, 10 per cent. less in
the eastern states, II per cent less in
the southern states and 8 per cent. in
tie middle west.
"Sales of groceries classed among
the luxuries, 16 per cent. less in the
eastern states, IS per cent less in the
southern states and 10 per cent. less
in the western states. The falling off
in biscuit and bakers articles and in
confectioners' trade shows substantial
~ the same per cent"
To show how the trusts can escape
from the evils that affiict others, Mr..
Bryan recently called attention to the
fact that recent issue Of the Wall
Street Journal shows that the Interna-
tional Harvester company made larg-
er net profits last year than in any
preceding year, and the directors of
the International Harvester company
are largely the same as the directors
Of the steel trust.

A CONVINCING CERTIFICATE
That Every Voter Should Read Who
Relieves That Bank Deposits Should

That Every Voter Should Read Who
Relieves That Bank Deposits Should
Be Guaranteed Against Loss.
The Democratic platform favors Sc
cured bank deposits. The Republican
platform is silent on the subject and
its leaders, Mr.. Taft notably, OPP
pose it.
The following certificate published
in The Commoner is distinctly inter-
esting at the present time:
Guthrie, Okla, June 81, 1908.-The
depositors' guaranty law was passed
Dec. IL, 1907, and was made operative
Feb. IA, 1908.
Bank reports show that the effect
Of the law began weeks BEFORE the law
was in actual operation.
There are now 551 banks under the
law in this state, including 81 national
banks. There are 255 unsecured banks
(all nationals) in the state.
1.-The dates of statement calls were
as follows:
For national banks, Dec. 3, 1907;
Feb. u, 1908, and May IA, 1908.
For state banks Dec. IL 1907; Feb.
90, 1908, and May IA, 1908.
From Dec. 3, 1907, to Feb. IA,
1908, the deposits in the unsecured
banks decreased about an even half
million. The secured national banks
for the same period gained in deposits
about $4,000. State banks (all Sc
cured for the period from Dec. II,
1907, to Feb. IA, 1908, show an increase
in deposits of $716,149.47.
For the period ending May IA, Sc
cured national banks show an increase
in deposits of $645, 413.61.
Estate banks (all secured) for the
period ending May IA, show an In
crease in deposits of 1886, 602.14.
For the period ending May II the

crease in both classes of banks as fol-
lows:

A gang of swindlers are working

In the western part of the State a
man appeared claiming he had been
commissioned to test cows for farm
ers, to see if they were free from
tuberculosis. AT one place he re-
presented to a farmer that ten of

him to sell them for what he conld

True to their promise, the democrats
have been making public the names of
contributors to the national campaign
fund, with the amounts, while the re.
publicans have kept closed their con-
tribution books from public view and are
now sitting on the lid. The reason is
plain, it being an undeniable fact that the
trusts and other corporate interests are
financing the campaign for the republi-
cans in desperate attempt to defeat Mr..
Bryan and retain their grip on the Gov
eminent. So determined are the replb-
lican managers to buy the election of
Judge Taft that they are raising an adj
ditional ST 900, 900 corruption fund 10 be
expended during the remaining few days
of the campaign. Any right thinking
person knows that this large sum cannot
possibly be applied olegitimate expenses
that will arise during the remaining short
period of the campaign, and it is evident
that it is to be dispensed for delivery of
the goods, I" these goods being votes.
In direct contrast to this determination
of the Taft managers to raise corruption
fund of ST 900, 900, the Democratic Nation
al Committee, which has thus far received
less than $500. for campaign expenses,
is asking for but $1oo 900 more to pay
campaign bills, and this. it is declared,
will be enough to cover all expenses.
Things are evidently desperate with the
G. O. P, when in addition to the large
amount il has undoubtedly already ex-
pended, $1,000, 900 is still needed to
buy the presidency for this Trust party.
