ASK PERMIT FOR SUITS.
Sweeping Charges Against One Of
the Hartman Roads.

Sweeping charges against the California
and Oregon railroad, one Of the Hartman
interests, were made today by Attorney
General Bonaparte before the House COM
mittee on public lands. The Attorney
General demanded that the department be
authorized to begin suits that are expected
to forfeit titles to hundreds of thousands
OF acres of land In Oregon and to destroy
personal interests In millions of dollars
worth Of property.
Mr.. Bonaparte charged that the Harri-
man road in question had violated the
provision of the land grant made to it:
had sold a good deal of the land at prices
far in excess Of the figure set by Con-
gressional act; had dealt In the land for
speculative purposes and now refused to
sell any Of II, thus retarding the develop
ment Of that portion of the state through
which the road runs.
Assistant Attorney General Purdy and
d. C. Townsend. assistant district at
torney in North Dakota, WHO Investigated
the charges against the road, appeared be-
fore the committee with the Attorney
General.
Representative Fordney of Michigan
opposed the favorable reporting of the
resolution for the institution of suits on
the ground that Michigan people had in
vested large sums of money in the prop
erty under the impression that title could
rot be attacked in court. as patents to 1t
had been issued by the United States.
The Attorney General assured Mr.. Ford
ney that his department would not disturb
those persons who had purchased the land
for actual settlement

DISCOUNT RATE REDUCED.
Bank Of England Takes Note Of I'm
nroved Monetary Conditions.

LONDON. March 5.-owing to the i'm
provement in monetary conditions, the d.
rectors Of the Bank Of England today re-
duced the discount rate Of the Bank Of
England from to 81 per cent. 1t was
thought In some quarters that no change
would be made owing to the South Amer
lean gold requirements. the less satisfac-
tory position In Berlin and tho delay In
returning gold from New York, but with
money mora plentiful here. the reserve be-
Ing over $15o. 000.oo which probably will
be increased by shipments from Egypt
and fresh arrivals from mine centers. the
bank authorities thought it safe to reduce
It's rate. The money market already had
discounted the change by lowering the
rates of three months bills to 3a per
cent.
The announcement had little effect on
the market, where buying still Is most
meager. Consols hardened u, but In other
directions the tone became flrmer. with
barely a perceptible change In prices.

The officials of some of the largest west
ern grain-carryins roads thought at the
end of December or very early in January
that they had succeeded In redistributtng
a large part of the empty cars which
had been placed In the grain and cotton
sections prior to the panic. 1t is under
la st week one of the largest systems west
Of Chicago was still hauling solid trains
Of empty cars eastward from Denver and
Ii Paso 1t Is also understood that
the detailed statement of the operations
of this system for the month Of January
showed an increase OF 70 per cent Ia the
empty car mileage on one Of the two
most important groups OF lines in the
system. This gives a very good idea of
the extent to which railroad trafic was
paralyzed by the panic of last autumn
Commission houses report only q light
odd-lot investment buying Of the standard

instance the dividend return Is all that

investor Most of the bond houses say
that as yet the general market continues
extremely dull, but for some Of the
choicest classes Of bonds there Is a fair
demand. They believe that the city bond
sale within q short time would stimulate
the general bond market. but SO far, they
say. they are unable to see any traces
of such an effect. Until there is a change
in these conditions for the better and
until the public takes a general interest

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

: More attention was paid today at the
meeting of the stock exchange to the
bond list than has been customary OF
late. and the result was an Improvement
in the figures and also some sales.
The tendency in the case Of some OF the
stocks listed was also in an upward direc-
ton, but that has been the case for some
time past. The rate Of progress Is as a
rule rather slow. so that the changes In
the figures do not amount to much II a
COMPARISON is made between the cur
rent quotations and those OF several
weeks ago.
In looking over the list 1t is noted that
q change has taken place in the return
upon the money invested at market prices.

per cent was looked upon as very
fortunate purchase. although there were
then some securities. as now. that paid
more than that.

interest upon the amount Of money in

row list known as the more active stocks.
but are found throughout. This feature
Of the local stock market leads to the be-
lief held by some of the brokers that a
revival of business may be looked for In
the near future.
1t Is know the public has money, as
shown by the large deposits now in the
hanks. and it is believed to be only mat
ter of a short time when the tide OF in
vestment will set in again, stimulated by
those who want to buy at the present low
levels securities that pay good returns
upon current values.
AS there are several instances where Sc
curities have dropped from 4 per cent
basis to a level where the return ranges
all the way from to per cent it is not
surprising that the belief is held of a
speedy change in present levels OF the
local stock morket.
In other words, it is thought there is q
real bargain counter In the local stock
list. but there is some question as to the
amount of securities that could be had
at or about the prevailing market rates
At any rate what is wanted is enough
interest displayed on the part Of the pub
lie to have that matter tested and to de-
termine how much there is for sale.

Union Pacific the Feature.

OF particular movements that in Union
Pacific aroused the greatest interest. COM
ing on the heels of it's latest explanation
that the stock is being accumulated in
somewhat similar fashion to the way it
was accumulated in 1903. Another theory,
that a large amount of the stock, really
sold some time ago for the account of
former director is now being transferred
for delivery, had much to support it. But
in the main there is nothing but guess
work to explain its persistent stand at
the present level.
American Car and Foundry scored
considerable gain at the opening today,
ing, and to the fact that the directors
saw fit to maintain it's regular rate of
dividend notwithstanding public predic-
tons and the presidents set by other
industrial corporations in cutting down
their distributions to stockholders. There
was also a noticeable amount of activity
in the Hill securities concerning which
rumor has been busy for some time.
The advance in the Great Northern Ore
certificates yesterday was preceded by a
report that the dividend on them would
be Increased. Today the story of an
extra dividend on Northern Pacific was
revived. The steel shares were active and
strong rejecting the steady betterment in
the condition of the iron and steel trade.
One noticeable feature of the market
was the broadening tendency displayed.
A number of issues that have been prac-
tically dormant for fortnight figured in
the trading in nearly all cases at fraction
ally advanced prices.
The reduction of the Bank of England
rate, though generally expected was re-
ceived with divided feelings. By many it
was to indicate decreased demand for
money in London and a consequent de-
preston in trade. 1t is expected that the
rate will be again reduced to per cent
before the disbursements of the end of
March affect the banking situation. This
is the first time since September. 1905.
that the rate has stood as low as 49, per
cent

NEW YORK, March 5.-The advance IN
the stock market begun in the last hour
yesterday was continued at the opening
and during the first hour of business to-
day. but before the middle of the morning
dizziness again interviewed to check the
upward movement. A recession of no
considerable proportions followed.
In the ease with which the market ad-
vanced just before the close yesterday on
rumors almost wholly without foundation,
traders professed to see the markets con-
firmation of a general betterment in the
financial situation. They cited many re-
ports of railroads and industrial corpora
lions in support of their view, and for
time this morning they profited by the
reductions in the Bank of England's mini
mum rate of discount and the declaration
of several persons of prominence in the
financial world that the Hepburn bill
would not be passed by Congress to bring
about 4 further advance in security
prices. Much hope was taken from the
fact that the market has recently shown
little disposition to yield to bad news. and
has. on the contrary almost invariably
advanced at the least sign of a return of
trade conditions to their position Of two
years ago.
A realization that there was very little
in the news of the day to warrant a belief
that corporation affairs have altered ma
terially for the better brought about an
occasional reaction and eventually dull
ness,
