Race 70 Ends Of the Earth.

Race TO Ends Of the Earth.
When Commander Robert E.
Peary boarded his steamer Rooss
velt at Sidney, Cape Boston this
week and starts on his expedi-
tion in search of the North Pole,
an International race to the ut
termost ends OF the earth will be
on Perhaps hopes to carry the
Stars and Stripes to the North
Pole with q British Antarctic ex-
pedition commanded by Lieuten-
ant Eearnest II. Shackelton is try
ing to place the Union Jack OF
the British Empire at 80 degrees
south. Although tee British ex.
pedition hae q years handicap
in point of time, Peary hopes to
win the race.
Lieutenant Shackleton and par
ty left London July 80, 1907, on
board the Nimrod, originally a
Newfoundland sailing vessel OF
227 tons, aut which has been rat.
itied as a steam barkentine. Lieu
tenant Shackleton is an officer OF
the British navy, and before leav
ing London King Edward be-
slowed upon him the Victorian
Order. He was a member of the
British Antarctic expedition OF
19O2'03 under Captain Scott,
and with his commander and an
other of the party accomplished
a sledge journey with dogs to a
point 80 degrees, II minutes
south latitude, during which they
were absent from their ship, the
Discoverer, 90 days and covered
a distance Of 960 miles. Peary
reached a point 81 degrees 6 min
utes north April 81, 1905.
The Nimrod's crew, all told,
numbered 80 men. including sew.
eral scientists, but the landing
party was to consist of but IL
men, The Barkantine sailed ear
ly in January from New Zealand,
and returned in March, having
left the Shackleto party encamp-
ed at the foot of Mount Erebus.
The party took with them mate.
rias for a wooden building build
ing with double doors and win
dows, to be lined with felt and
several inches ofgranulated cork.
Provisions and supplies Tor q
long stay were landed. The Nim-
rod brought back to New Zea-
land q tale OF dissension in the
party, which resulted in the res
ignation of Captain England the
Nimrod's skipper, and the ship
therefore will return to the little
band early in 1910 without him.
Lieutenant ShackletOn took
with him a special built motor
sledge which he hoped to use in
his polar dash and a number OF
Siberian ponies, in addition to a
pack of dogs. Peary will use on
ly Eskimos and and dogs. The
boxes containing his supplies a.
board the Roosevelt were 90 de-
signed rs to make possible the
construction OF the house out OF
them at Cap Sheridan. The struc
ture will be about 20 to 60 feet
and when completed will be COW
cred with the Roosevelt main
sail and that in turn covered
with snow. Peara plans to make
his dash for the pole from his
base OF supplies in February OF
next yeaL and hopes to return to
the United States some time in
October.
Before leaving London Lieu
tenant Shackleton was presented
by Queen Alexandra with o Brit
ish flag to carry with him on his
southern dash. About the some
time the Daughters OF the Amer
lean Revolution gave Command
er Peary a beautiful liberty and
peace flag, made of silk and con-
sisting OF the stars and stripes,

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Speculation Favored by Outlook for
 Corporation Financing.

New York, May ll-Speculative sentiment to-day was still under the Influence of the frightened outlook for corporation financing. The piling up of bank reserves and the declining rates for money promise abundant re- sources for further Notation of new capital issues. and executive officers of the railroad companies feel cor respondngly relieved of the anXieties which cnveloped them during .he par alysis of railroad credit The Union Pacific issue is most immediately pending. and discussion of its expected terms and amount continued Jery ac- tive to- day. That considerable por- ton of the loan will be placed abroad is taken for granted, but Fran.e and Germany were assumed as more like ly destinations for the foreign allot- ments than London, as in the recent Pennsylvania loan perusal of the Saturday bank statement was impress siye in It's disclosure of the measure of the resources available for new bor- rowing. The sl,270,3249O0 of de- posits held by the clearing house banks on Saturday form an absolute record and the $63,SS3,475, surplus above the legal requirement of the cash reserve has never been exceeded except in the after panic period of 1894 when forces of the same nature were at work to cause the accumula ion as arc in operation now. Confidence in the money outlook, fo,ndcd on this showing was little altered by the pros pect of a resumption of gold exports and the large withdrawals of the sub treasury on account of return of gov crnment deposits by the banks Dis count rates In London and Paris de- Clined and the bank of England marked down the price of gold, in spite of further purchases for Paris account in London. Outside of the money outlook there was nothing in the days developments to prompt hopes of enhancing values, The com mittee on car efficiency of the Amcri- can Railway association made another idle freight cars in the country which showed for April go an addition to the record figure of April 1 . of 37,71i of freight cars held idle in this coun" try, bringing it to the formidable total of 413,33S, Railroad officials report 11 tN,,
 ble in the traffic showing. Waath q conditions in some localities last week affected tu some extent the feeling oi confidence over the wheat crop pros poet. The stock market showed new stocks being pushed upwards, which have not been prominent in the rise heretofore There was heavy realz- ing at the same time in the recent leaders of the advance. The constant irreguarity of tone was the consc- qucncc. The constant irrcgularity of tone was the consequence. The spec and Norfolk X Western was in con nection with reports that the New Ha- ven was taking over holdings of the former sold by the Pennsylvania with q view to safeguarding its soft coal supply in the same way that the on tario & Western holding was directed to the anthracite supply,

International movements in money and exchange today were interesting. Demand sterling here rose above Sat urday's level and approached the prob- 0ble gold exporting point. Discounts in London and Paris were lower and while the Bank of France has enorm- ously increased its gold supply the past month, if took liberally of todays fresh gold arrivals at London. The latter market looks to New York to supply her with gold on which re- duction in the Bank of England dis count rate to 1-2 per cent will be based.

FREIGHT RATE DIFFICULTY.
Railway Men Balance Between Cut in
 Wages and Raise In Rates.

Wages and Raise In Rates.
 New York, May 1l,- More comment was heard in railway circles to-day regarding the plan to increase freight rates,
 As F, II, Hartman was not at his office and President Raer of the Read Ing, was not In town, no statement could be had regarding the alleged controversy between these two men at last weeks meetings, As a reprcsen- tatIve of the Erie, the Baltimore and Ohio and the New York Central, Mr Hartman, it was said, favored an lm- mediate increase In freight rates while Baer of the Reading was op- posed to such action at this time.
 While there has been difference of opinion among railway men over the proposed increase, there has been no Inclination to force the issue From the railway point of view, 1t Is ad- mtted that the best thing to 1o would be to cut wages; but that course, It Is ly difficult by the attitude of the Roosevelt administration. The only other alternative, 1t Is argued, Is to increase rates, SO the burden would be equally distributed among railroads, shippers, and the consuming public
 As the matter now stands, all of the roads have agreed to abide by the decision of the majority but, as far as the immediate future Is concerned, nothing definite has been done. It is possible, however, that rates will be Increased in the fall

WALL STREET NOTES New High Price Records for the Year, With Trading on a
 Large Scale. MORE FREIGHT CARS IDLE Story of Purchase of (. & O. by New Haven Road Denied by
 Bankers.

First prices for stocks were higher all around and trading soon set in on a large scale New high records for the year were scored for Reading, Union Pacific. and others right at the opening. With scarcely any setbacks the market continued to advance and broaden throughout the first hour. In spite of good deal of proft-taking all of the offerings were easily absorbed, and at midday there had been practi- cally no recessions. Sales for the first two hours were about 575OOO against 5oo,OOO Saturday and i05,00O Friday. Bond sales were somewhat lighter, but still totalled about s29oo.OOO up to noon. Early in the afternoon some of the speclalties. including the metal group. Ontario and Western, and other low . priced railroad shares. were very firm, and were the center of speculative in- terest.
The morning journal-courier., 1908-05-12

News developments were mixed. Such as was unfavorable. as, for instance, the increase in the number of idle freight cars from 315OoO on April 15 to 49.33s on April 29 ,a new record, was ignored. as was the publication of fur ther poor railroad earnings and predic- tions that the April statements of lead- ing railroads would be among the poorest yet put out. As against these things. it was contended that crop conditions are all that could be deeir- ed, that money is piling Up in the banks, and it must go into securities sooner or later The chances for cur rency legislation were also regarded as better.
