Rumor That Some Powerful Specu-
lative Agency Is Distributing
Securities for a Purpose

NEW YORK, September 19.-Stocks
failed to hold the recovery which was
enjoyed yesterday, although there was
some early extension of that recovery to-
day.
Later in the session the most active
and prominent stocks sold at the lowest
prices of the week The violent relapse
was due to renewed suspicion that stocks
were being distributed by the powerful
speculative party that has been credited
with the practical control of the market
for weeks past
The support accorded the markets yes
terday begot a hope that this control
was to be reasserted and the reaction ter
minated. The pressure to sell on the
advances today dssipated this hope and
an active unloading of speculative hold
ings followed. The selling was In full
force when the market closed and at the
lowest prices of the week. The political
scare" which has been aScribed as fac
tor in the market ever since the Maine
election result became known on last
Tuesday came into full discussion again.
Influence of Political News.
The disclosures pointing to the measures
taken In the past on behalf of the Stand
ard Oil Company officials to influence po-
litical and legislative action in the in
terest of that corporation were regarded
with apprehension in the financial district
as threatening to turn the campaign dis
Cussion and influences into those cham
nelS.
The speculative sentiment showed itself
sensitive to the threat or infiaming public
opinion again in the direction of hostility
to corpora tons. The tone of the renewed
activity in the presidential campaign re-
Ceived the same Interpretation from the
speculative element
The mercantile agency reviews empha-
sizip.; the moderate pace of the progress
toward recovery in commercial affairs
served TO enforce the feeling OF reserve
toward the maintenance of prices of Sc
curties at level based on earlier san
culinary expectations of the rate Of this
recovery.
Foreign Exchange Declines.
y sharp decline in foreign exchange was
a feature of the day, the special demand
which has kept up rates having been sat-
isfed apparently with the sailing of to-
days steamers. The loan contraction dis
closed by the bank statement showed that
the stock market liquidation is having
its effect in offsetting the movement of
funds out of New York bank reserves to
the interior.

sort of a fashion. The result of this will
more money than usual during the fall
and winter months, more even than they
looked for in these times of plethoric sur
pluses. This will give New York more
money than 1t really needs.
The developme nts in the A. o. Brown
matter have confirmed the view originally
held in Wall street that the firms mis-
fortunes were largely of inside origin and
due 10 speculation by members them
selves. More than ever the stock eX
change authorities are determined to use
the steam roller in its treatment of the
TWO floor members of the bankrupt firm.
The question of real interest in connection
with the investigation is how thick the
coat of whitewash will be which will be
applied to other members of the exchange
who did business for and in connection
with A. o. Brown & Co One of the men
who executed large orders for the firm
on the Saturday before it failed is the
president Of the exchange.
Several members of the board Of govern
ors also filed orders for account OF A O.
Brown &, Co. It is taken for granted that
these men will all be whitewashed and
given a complete immunity bath. This
will necessarily carry with it the members
of minor Importance. For be it known,
the membership of the stock exchange is
divided into two classes-'preferred' and
common" The preferred consists of the
their friends and associates. numbering in
all possibly 200. The other 900 are com
mon.' and only favored when they follow
in the train of the preferred class.

New York banks have not been drawn
upon as heavily as expected for crop-mov-
ing purposes, either by the south or the
west. This is largely because outside
banks in those parts Of the country have
not been carrying as large balances as
usual in New York. They are sore at the
New York banks because of the policy
pursued during the panic of last October
and subsequent thereto. They claim that
the New York institutions played the hog
and they have not yet recovered their
good nature. They had hard time get

The declaration of the usual quarterly
dividend on New York Central made
bad impression. VIGOROUSLY the dividend
was not earned and is being paid out of
reserves or from the proceeds Of sales of
bonds. 1t is doubtful IL New York Cen
trail has more than earned fixed charges
during the last nine months. Usually
such an exhibit would presage a great
decline in the stock. but in this case 1t
would appear that the great financial in
terests behind the road and responsible
for its destinies are banded together for
its stock market support. They look upon
New York Central as the real backbone
of the market and argue that as long as
it's shares are strongly maintained in
price or at least not allowed to yield.
there will be no important cessation in
general Investment confidence. The road
is financed ahead for about a year and
will not have to go into the market for
new money until along toward the end
of 1909.

Flushing, L. l.. Dec. 24-Sensational
incidents punctured the trial of Thorn
ton Hains today when Lawyer John
p. Mcintyre, for the defense, askel
the court to commit Matin Skura, cab
man, who took the stand today. After
giving his direct testimony in which
he said that Thornton Hams asked

ers said 1--WE have got him now he
was subjected to a severe cross-eXam-
ination by Hams counsel. Mcintyre
asked the witness 7 he had not signed
a statement prepared by counsel for
the defense in which he stated that
no conversation took place in the cab
and that Annis' name was never men
toned. Skura, frightened and con-
fused, declared he had made the
statements, but that they We're false.
Mcintyre then moved that he be COM
mitted for perjury. Justice Crane de-
clined to hold Skura for perjury.

Again With Complete Equipment
and Full Force.

Mr.. j. II. Mcilughes who is

mines about three miles from Ger,
rillos. aud j. O. Eaton. who is one of
the large stockholders in the company,
We're in the city today They report
great development al their properties
which many years ago We're worked
with great success and later were
left idle. In former days it was found
impossible under the processes then
known, to separate the zinc from the
other ores cheaply enough to make
the working of the mines profitable.
Now new processes have come into
use by which the ores can be sepa-
rated at minimum cost and the
company will soon be producing pay
ing quantities of zinc, lead gold and
silver from its ores. There will be
ready sale for its concentrates.
The shaft of theCash Entry mine
of which A. E. Johnson, an expe-
rienced mining man, formerly with the
Stratton Independent at Leadville,
Colorado, is manager. has been partly
cleaned out, and the water pumped
out down to the 300foot level The
shaft proper is ESQ feet in depth of
which Coo feet is timbered. New
shafts are also being sunk to develope
the ores near by tie Cash Entry.
The company has put in new ma
chinery for working its ores, and will
be ready to begin its operation as soon
as Stopping out begins. The machin-
g yrconsists of a Card concentrating
table, s sets of Hartz jigs. ) sets Of
rolls. / large crusher and large
Huntington mill which has a capacity
of 300 tons per "a hours. The machin-
cry is run by a 159 hp. Corliss, and
power is supplied from three boilers.
The mill and entire plant will be ready
for operation in short time.
1t is the intention of the company
as soon as the Cash Entry is in work
ing condition to begin work on the
Grand Central mine, an adjoining shaft
on the company's property.
Quite thriving little settlement has
grown up around the mines The COM
pany has built for the accommodation
and housing of its men fourteen new
residences and one large boarding
house, besides erecting the buildings
for the machinery and the MILL the
last being structure 120 by 40 feet.
The work has been pushed as rap
idly as possible and in a short time

His Message on Sc
cret Service Will
be Mild
HAS COLLECTED DATA
To Show That Crime has In
creased Since Service
Was Limited.

Washington, Dec. 24.--Indications
are that the persons who expect Pres
ident Roosevelt to say something of
a sensational nature in his message to
congress, replying to the inquiry as to
the basis for that portion of his mes
sage dealing with the secret service,
will be disappointed
While the President has not yet
written his reply he has collected a
stock of information which will serve
as his basis. 1t is said be will confine
himself principally to an effort to sus-
tai nthe declaration in his annual mes
sage that the action of congress in linn
iting the activities of the secret serv-
ice agents has resulted in increased
crime.
Data will be produced to show that
criminals and confidence men have
been quick to take advantage of the
cessation of the work of the secret
service men but it is not believed there
Will be any reflection upon the char
acter of individuals that will in the
slightest degree embarrass any mem
bers of the house or the senate.
To meet any objection that the sec
ret service is limited by statute to the
detection of counterfeiters, revenue
andl custims frauds and at the same
time to preserve the general useful
ness of that institution the president
probably will recommend a change in
the organic law so as to provide for
the merging of the secret service, the
land Office inspection services into
one general bureau of criminology in
the interest of economic and good adj
ministration.
