FINANCIAL REVIEW Undertone of Confidence Xvi dent, But Restrained Pend
 ing Developments. MONEY CONDITIONS FIRM Extreme Redundancy Modfed--Pros- pcrity of Farmer Looks Good
 for Business.

An undertone of strength and con fdence was manifest last week in the hnacial markets, but It's active express sion was restrained by waiting for the fulhlment of some of the factors which were the prospective causes for tho hopeful sentiment In the stock mar ket itself sentiment of reserve to- wards any great extension of commit ments was distinguished after almost Instantaneous restoration of the price level on Monday, with the cessation of the foreign liquidation. Undoubtedly thie reserve was induced by the con temptation of the enormous credit ex- pansion of the New York banks which had accompanied the acceptance of the foreign sales of American securities while the war scare was in force abroad. It was an impressive demon- stratlon of absorptive power in the New York stock market that 1t should have taken over s2o, ,OO0, 900 to S25, O00 900 of foreign holdings of American secur- ties, and then on Monday have restored the impairment of prices which had re- suited in few minutes; but there stood the s2500O.00O loan increase of New York banking institutions for the same period This and other factors at work gave intimetlon that the extreme redundancy which has prevailed in the New York money market was to he modified. although no fears are felt of any danger of stringency. A rise in rates for the use of money both on call and on time during the week testified to the reality of these factors. Even without a recurrence Of the strain of political crisis in southeastern Europe the q banding requirements fGr bank the expanding requirements for bank f1rmer money conditions.
 A re-openine of the labor controversy in the English cotton mills was respon- sible for some scarcity of cotton bills in the foreign exchange market, where the f1rmness of rates kept discussion open of possible gold exports II is many years since the United States treasury has not made effective addt- tions during the autumn months to the money supply by one device or another Resources are manifestly lacking for any such relief this year The running deficit in tho government revenues keeps pulling down the treasury de- partnent's working cash balance on November 20 the one year notes put out by the treasury to help relieve the pan ic will mature. An issue of Panama canal bonds also Is In contemplation Prospect of any relief for tho autumn money markets from the United state' treasury. therefore Is left out of the reckoning of the hankers.

WOMEN DONATE ISLAND
Government Given Constitution Island by
Mrs. Sage and Miss Warner.

Government \lVen CONSTITUTION lSldnQ by
Mrs. Sage and Miss Warner.
Oyster Bay, Sept 12-Constitution
island, in the Hudson river off West
Point, has been presented to the Unit
ed States government by Margaret
Olivia Sage, widow of Russell Sage,
and Miss Anna Bartlett Warner, to be
added to Tue United States military
reservation of West Point and used by
the United States military academy.
President Roosevelt has accepted the
gift on behalf of the nation. Repeated
efforts to have the federal government
purchase the island have failed. A
bill appropriating $4,000 to buy it
passed the senate, but never passed
the house. Mrs. Sage in her letter to
President Roosevelt, in which she
makes the gift, says that in view of
the pecuniary sacrifice made by Miss
Warner in refusing to sell the island
to private parties at a price much
larger than that at which she proposed
to sell it to the government she has
made Miss Warner a donor with her
self of the property to the United
States government.

TERMINALS AT VICTORIA
Grand Trunk Pacific Secures Extensive
Water Front Property.


Water Front Property.
Victoria, B. c., Sept. IL An
is made that the Grand
Trunk Pacific has purchased valuable
piece of water front in the Victoria
harbor at cost of $4,000 The prop
erty adjoins the wharf o. the Alaska
Steamship company and Dominion
government wharf, and is 400 feet in
length, and is one of the most easily
accessible points on the harbor.
The purchase will give the Grand
Trunk Pacicf nearly as extensive facill-
ties on the water front as the Canadian
Pacific railroad now has. Significance
is lent to this by a statement made by
Hon. w. Templeman, a member OF the
Dominion government in a speech,
when, in abiding to the subsidy grant
ed to the Vancouver Island Eastern
railway at the last session, he said it
would give all opportunity for con-
nection to be made at Fort st. George
with the Grand Trunk Pacific, which
would make Victoria practically the
terminus of the transcontinental line.
The only other construction put up
on the purchase by the Grand Trunk
Pacific is that the company intends to
enter the coasting service as rival of
the Canadian Pacific railroad, making
Victoria it's Southern terminus, with
connections at Prince Rupert in the
North

CUMMINS YIELDS TO
STANDPATTERS

Des Moines, Iowa. Sept. 12.-Beaten
by the "revoters" who deadlocked the
legislature, Governor Cummins in a
voice that was funeral and crepe
clad" asked his friends to cease press
ing him as a candidate for the short
term for United States senator and &C.
cept the terms which the standpatters
offered. The progressives were forced
to submit. The extra session of the
legislature therefore adjourned to re-
convene November "a after the gen.
eral election. 1t will then elect the
person to the senate receiving the larg-
est vote at the primary in November.
The joint convention met at noon
Thursday and roll call disclosed the
fact that the standpatters were as firm
as ever, Mr.. Cummins still lacking a
dozen votes of majority. After the
convention dissolved a caucus of the
supporters of the governor was called
and the governor asked to be present.
Mr.. Cummins read a statement to the
caucus, in which he said that the party
success should stand above his per-
sonal ambition, and that he believed
it best for party harmony that the leg
islature adjourn until after election.
The governors counsels were finally
accepted and the peace agreement in
dorsed by all but Senators Allen and
Turner and Representatives Marston,
Van Houten and Weeks.
Leaders of the standpatters are feel
ing jubilant. They say they do not
want to be understood to oppose the
election of United States senator for
the short term, but that they wanted
the people to declare themselves on
the matter of the candidates first.
AS soon as it was certain the extra
session would adjourn without elect
ing senator for the short term, the
anti Cummins leaders began looking
around for an available candidate to
pit against Mr.. Cummins for the pri-
mary contest in November. G.. N Hau-
gen of the Fourth district; Walter I.
Smith of the Ninth and Ex-Governor
Jackson of Des Moines are being con-
sidered.

ALASKA LOSES COPPER
Valuable Beds in White River district Are
Canadian Territory.

Canadian Territory.
Dawson, Sept. 14.-Fred Reynolds
and other miners arriving in small
boats from the head of the White river,
report that the international American
Canadian boundary survey, running
along the 141st meridian, crossed the
White river few days ago. The es-
tablishment of the permanent line
brought out the fact that the White
river copper deposits lie on the Cana
dian side. This means the capturing
of a rich prize by the Canadians. The
claims that are so far known quantities
are we'll within Canadian territory.
The line, according to Reynolds,
crosses three miles above the lower
end Of the second canyon.
The location of this line has been a
matter of great dispute, and there has
been much overlapping recording in
both countries.
The properties affected are estimat-
ed to be worth millions. The Guggen-
helms, Bratnober and others represent
ing large American concerns, have had
agents there several seasons. Some of
the properties are. bonded.
The survey parties expect to leave
the front for the Coast via Dawson or
Whitehorse, September 20.

President Gompers, that it is our pur-
pose, or his, to dictate to the working
people of our country how they should
cast their votes in the coming election,
