FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York, May 3-The mixed move ment in the securities market last week was fairly representative Of the influence carried over from previous developments in favor of higher prices and of the obstacles inevitably en- countered at some stage of such a movement The volume of dealings expanded early in the week to daily total larger than on any previous day this year or, in fact, since the, troubled period of last October.
 The rise in prices at the same time developed a buoyant character, ana the market took on an appearance Of speculative excitement. Subsequently a reactionary tone became manifest, and there was a decided shrinkage in the proportions of the market. The active rebound to the best at the end of the week ended with an unsettled tone. The influence responsible for the advance was the cheerful feeling aroused by the pronounced success of the PennsylVania bond sale and the hopeful augury from that event for the ability of railroads to secure capital to resume their activities Tn the field of construction and improve ment. The needs of the railroads m this respect are very large. The Journal of Commerce estimates that notes and bonds maturing and stock subscriptions falling due during the remainder of the year reach total of nearly s2S4, ,000,00 In the field of new financing less eXacthess can be assumed. but the same authority traces probable new demands to the extent of about $2So.o00,00 With these financial needs confronting the railroads. the Pennsylvania bond sale was regarded as immensely important, as an indication that the dead-lock overhanging railroad credits for so
 
 condition of the money market was confirmatory of this prospect. The un- interrupted flow of currency into cen- tral bank reserves gave assurance that the banking position would remain strong and would serve to foster the financing measures in contem- pIatton by the railroads. The nromised abundance of banking re- sources Is so great that little effect has baen produced on the money market by the credit operations already per fected by the outward flow of gold to Europe or by the call of the treasury for the return of s45.00O,10O of govern ment deposits held by the banks in two instaliments during May. These various developments were made ground for the assumption that the usual stages following a financial crisis had arrived at the condition Of re- newed accumulation of capital in suf- hctent supply to work restoration of investment demand and a replenish- ment of the needs of enterprise.
 Accompanying this improvement in the money market and investment con ditions, and in part flowing from them are certain influences of less cheerful import. The heavy tide of the cur rency movement to banking centers is indicative of the contracted needs Of the circulation and the impaired de mSnd for use of money and banking facilities of active business
 Instability in the iron market and fears that prices of finished products must come down to adjustment to the lower prices for iron have been sub facts for discussion in estimating the

JOHNSON'S STRENGTH
MINNEsOTA'S GOVERNOR WILL
 HAVE LARGE FOLLOWING.
Attorneys for the Larger Corporations, Including the Railroads, Seem to Favor His Candidacy
 for the Presidency.

Birmingham. May 3.-(Special.)-It has developed here in the last few days that Governor Johnson of Minnesota. who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. has good following in this section of the country.
 Attorneys for the largeR corporations. including the railroads, appear to be in favor of the Governor of the North western State in preference to Hon. William Jennings Bryan and there will be quite a little vote cast for him when the State Democratic primaries are held on May, 18th. The, announcement that the Johnson following Is taking on steam. has aroused effort among the Bryanltes and quite little campaign is going to be. waged.
 Col. John W. Tomlinson, one of the original Bryan men in Alabama. Is allowing no grass to grow under his feet in his work for the Nehraskan, and during the past month or so. has organized a number of Bryan clubs and has done other work for his friend. He will double his efforts in behalf of the Nebraskan., A. G. Smith of Birming- ham, oh airman of the State Committee promoting the candidacy of Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, says that the movement started Is in nc sense an anti Bryan campaign. He says that the two leaders have always been friends and that If MT. Bryan gets the nomination. Governor Johnson will be at his helm as much as he will ex- pect Bryan to assist him In case he gets the nomination.

POLITICS IN MOBILE
SENSATIONAL PUBLICATIONS IN Ex-
 TRAs ARE DISCUSSED. s,ss,
Each side, of Course, Is Claiming the Adyantnxes as the Result of These Charges and Coun-
 fsr-CbargeB.

Mobile. May 3.-(Special.) )-Tbe chief topic of conversation on the streets this morning was the political situation a.- ter the shake-up of yesterday- Each side, of course, claims the auvahlase as the result of the sensational publi- cations in the extras of the afternoon papers.
 These claims must all be taken with pinch of salt, for there Is really no way of telling what effect the charges and counter-charges will have on the municipal contest. The greater part of the voters have already made up their minds who they intend to vote for: and fortunately or unfortunately. according to the viewpoint. the greater mart belong to that class who cannot be swayed by argument or changed by facts. The two opposing forces have been distinctly outlined for ten days mast: all doubtful voters have been tabled and committeeman appointed to work on tn em. Few changes have thus far been effected. The man who does his own thinking. carefully weighing the issues, does not. when he reaches a conclusion, declare that conclusion to the world. And SO it is that the balance of power is still in the hands of the doubtful ones. and will probably remain there until the returns are in :.
 Following the statement of Mayor Lyons. as published in The Advertiser, that he had not refused to let. Rosson see the city books; that he had made an engagement with Rosson to arrange the matter which Rosson had failed to keep; that he had later told Rosson he could have the books on Monday, but that he, the Mayor, wished to be represented in the examination by ac- countants of his own choosing; follow ing the publication of this statement. MT. Rosson wrote Mir Fitts. chairman of the Good Government Club, denying or correcting the Mayors statements. Tn part he said:
 He asked me why I did not keep the appointment to meet him at 3;3o at his office, and I replied that l was not aware of having any engagement with him, but had considered the incl dent closed when he declined to allow me to examine the books.
 He said that after thinking it over, he had concluded to let me have the books in order to get the data which I wanted.
 "In my conversation this morning, I had mentioned certain data which it was necessary for me to have in 'pre- paring my statement and which could be found only on the old cash book. -.
 "As Mayor Lyons left me this morn ing. he said that he would be back at haif-past 3. I did not regard that as an appointment. but considered the .in- cident closed and reported the fact to the committee that he denied me access to the books" 'tal

Sew eral persons from this city attended the funeral The quick response of the people living near the stricken section to supply the necessary comforts to the suffering ones was not made only by the people of, Brundidge. who certainly did ,magnantmous act, and that quick 1 ly, but the people living in the country in the vicinity of the stricken section. have done even more.
 It was learned today that tf& home of Josiah Jackson has been almost com = pIeted already. and that the people of the whole country are spending their money and giving their vtiae to the un- fortunate among their neigh bors. Such a time demands quick action and every body got busy and have been doing all in their power for the sufferers. There are. of course. many losses, and some very serious ones which will never come to light. because no relief from the public is needed
