Washington, Feb. 16.-Cabiegrams

ly published in American newspapers
on the Balkan situation and the North

policies regarding these matters, were
called to the attention of Baron Stern

Subscribed Six Times and
Average Price Was 104.
STOCK MARKET VERY SLOW
HEAVY INTERESTS APPEAR TO

New York, Feb. 16.-The most i'm
financial world was the sale of $780,
0c0, 900 of New York City Az per cent
bond, the largest single offering in the
history of the Municipality. The 1,160
individual bidders far outnumber the
previous record of SSS for last Septem-
ber's $4O.O00,C0O sale, and the gross bids
reached the enormous total of 5000, 0O0,-
600, or an over-subscription six times
the amount of the issue. The aver
age price, realized at 1O4, compares
with SOB for the September issue.
Thus the new issue is on a basis of
investment return to the subscribers
of 4.32 per cent, compared with 4.S9
per cent for the September subscrip

solid testimony to improving financial

Heavy Interests Waiting.
The securities market gave clear
evidence of the waiting attitude as
sumed by the substantial capital in
terests OF the country pending the
more definite shaping of industrial
and business affairs. Operations were
nianifestly in provisional hands to
large extent, and the shifting down of
prices represented little more than the
varying fortunes of the contest being
waged between them.
The question of the integrity of div
idends in face of heavy falling off in
traffic and earnings of the railroads
naturally played considerable part
in the weakness. Imminent needs of
financing to meet maturing require
ments was another cause which bore
heaviest on securities on which these
needs were known to be most urgent.
Little Demand for Bonds.
This cause was aggravated by the
subsistence of the investment for
bonds, in spite of the continued ease
in the money market proper. The
downward course of money rates, in
fact suffered some arrest. especially
in foreign markets, where the pay
ment of Bank of England obligations
to the Bank of France was an in
fiuence with reactionary effect on
British c0nSultS ana gllt-edged invest
ment issues.
News of factory resumption on
considerable scale has been a feature
of the day TO day developments,
mixed, however. with advices of addi-
tional cuTtailment in other lines. Fig
ures of bank clearings, while still
showing a large contraction from last
years corresponding periods, are be-
ginning to make more favorable
comparison than the preceding re-
ports. The same is true of gross
earnings for the railroads for the lat
ter weeks reporting. The net returns
of railroads for December now coming
i'm reflect the depth of the depression,
and their influence has to be contend
ed with. Authorities in the iron and
steel trade speak with some encourage
ment of an enlargement of demand,
and the placing of some orders for
steel rails by the railroads was an
episode of the week that was regard
ed as favorable.

The danger mark in this city is TWEEN
ty-two feet.
The damage, il is estimated, will

there was no loss of life
The suffering caused by the high
water is intense. Thousands of per-

their homes, using skfffs as a means
of transportation to apI fro. The
lower portions of their homes are
filed with water. In many Instances
the household goods were not re-
moved, owing to a lack of time. and
chairs, tables, pianos and bric-a-brac
are floating about the rooms.
Weather Turns Cold.
To add to the suffering of the vic

through NovibaZar as q connecting link

The attitude of the Russian foreign
office as learned through an inspired
press is that the agreement. which is
regarded as already violated in spirit
by the Austrian foreign minister's eff

Austrian sphere of influence by a pri-

construction of the railroad, should be
abrogated.

SAN FRANCISCO
IS CLEANING Up
Reports Sent Out Regarding
Bubonic Plague Give Rise to
Popular Movement.
LARGE FUND SUBSCRIBED
ALL GLASSES OF CITIZENS ARE
WORKING TOGETHER.

San Francisco, Feb 16.-The follow
ing statement has been issued by the
Citizens Health committee:
San Francisco has undertaken, by
popular effort, the greatest sanitary
movement ever inaugurated in any mu-
nicipality in the United States. Aroused
by exaggerated and ignorant reports
that the city of the Golden Gate is
plague-ridden, the merchants, the rail-
road officials. the labor unions, the
churches. civic bodies. in fact, every
body IN the city. have enlisted in gen
eral cleaning up movement which is
designed TO thoroughly extermfnate
rats, repair sewers that We're broken
by the disaster of 1906, compel house
holders to observe sanitary and garbage
ordinances, and thus convince the
United States and foreign countries that
San Francisco is free from any pos
sible contagion.
Graduating the Rodents.
This movement was compelled by
reason of widespread reports that bu-
bonic plague had found fertile soil in
San Francisco. The commercial inter-
ests and the populace generally admit
that there have been a comparatively
few isolated cases of plague and 1t is
also frankly admitted that many rats
infected with this dread disease have
been caught. Admitting this the peo-
pie now determine to eradicate rodents
and see that they do not propagate
again I'm this city.
This cleaning up movement is in the
hands of DR.. Rupert Blue. who was
sent to San Francisco by Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman. head of the United
States marine hospital service. Dr..
Blue cleaned up New Orleans and he
is now doing equally thorough work in
this city. The federal government il
cooperating with the local authorities
and already beneficial results are au-
thoritatively announced by the marine
hospital surgeons.
Merchants Give S5oo,ooo.
Determined TO prevent future criti-
general meeting and decided to sub
scribe $500, 900 and TO employ $50 men for
sanitary improvement. This fund and
these men are to be handled by Dr.
Blue. The commercial and industrial in
teFests, including the wOrkingmen, in
tend to leave the matter in the hands of
the federal government, 80 that within
the next sixty days official govern
mental proclamation shall be made
which shall absolutely stop attacks up
on San FranciscO's commercial activity
by envious competitors in other places.
There is no pretense in this move
ment. there is no intent to hide any
evil that may now exist or may arise
in the future. San Francisco will not
submit to further complaint"
