ON NEW AUDITING PLAN

Ii is up 10 the common council 10

city books and hiring an accountant
A resolution presented by Estimator
Hislop was adopted by the board OF
estimates Thursday night, calling on
the council to provide for such a
plan. III this is not done. the appro-
priation for city accountant will be
cut out, and the books will go un-
audited unless some plan is followed
such as prescribed by the late Con-
troller Blades, when he had his chief
clerk check the departmental books
regularly for time until an account
ant was provided.
City Accountant Gridley says he is
willing 10 get out. His former assist
ant, Andrew Gray. testified before the
general fund committee OF estimators.
Thursday, that Gridley did little OF
the work. but this Gridley denies.
At present, the city accountant il
appointed by the mayor, but Mayor
Thompson says he does not want the
appointment and would prefer TO have
the aldermen call In an accountant

REVEALS SKELETON IN
BARKWORTH CLOSET

A skeleton in the family closet of
Thomas K. Barkworth, the Jackson
lawyer and political leader, was re-
veaied in the circuit court Thursday
afternoon, when Lloyd ID. Willis,
sonin-law, was granted a temporary
injunction restraining Barworth from
disposing of large block OF stock IN
the Willis Realty Co. Willis married
Barkworth's daughter, and so anxious
was the father 10 have his daughter
at home that he organized a real es-
tate company. and gave Willis the
position OF secretary and treasurer.
He also gave the son-in-law $1,000
worth of stock. Later Willis and his
wife had trouble. and Willis came TO
Detroit. He alleges that his father
in-law has advertised his stock for
sale. The sale will be held up and
Willis given chance to prove his
ownership.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Market Shows Determination to Act on Belief of Returning
 Prosperity.
RAILROAD SHOWING POOR
Much Significance in Wholesale Re sumptlons in tho Steel
 Trade.

New York, July i2.--I4ast weeks se- curity market gave clear reflection of the determination arrived at by an eff fectIve number of stock market par ticlpants to throw off the waiting at titude maintained for some time past and to act on their conviction that bet ter things were in prospect for business and industry. In contrast with the ab- solute stagnatlon into which the mar ket had fallen by the close of the pre- ceding week there sprang up degree of animation not equalled before since the early period of June, the average daily transactions rising well over half a million shares. There was expansion, also. in the bond division and a broad enlng of demand in that department which was most encouraging. The assurance of abundant supplies of banking resources throughout the year, the promise of crop yields above the average for recent years and the ap- preaching termination of the sessions of the democratic national convention were the main factors in stimulating the new speculative departure.
 The naming of the candidates of the two great political parties and the de- fining of the issues on which the cam paign is to be fought were accepted as steps towards knowledge on which to base the estimate of the outcome and were acted upon in this light.
 The piling up of loanable funds in banking reserves and the resulting pressure to find profitable employment for these sums have an almost infalll- ble effect in opening up demand for well secured bonds and dividend pay ing stocks.
 Great importance was attached to the symptoms last week of reviviug trade. The most striking of these were re- ported from the steel trade. where re- sumptions on large scale of opera tions in the steel mills In the Pitts burg district were chronicled, with re- newal of employment for thousands of laborers who had been idle and with out pay for several months. Specia significance was attached to the large proportion of the new orders for stee which were received from the a.uicul- tural implement makers as indicating well-informed opinion on the prosper ous conditions of the farming commun fly and the good promise for the year. crops The satisfactory cotton repor of the previous week completes th data on which the assumption is founded of the continued prosperity Q Iagrlculture.
 Railroad earnings do not yet show
