payable by July 15, which is expected to converge largely on the New York banks. Notwithstanding these large require- ments, money on call in New York did not rise above per cent, and that but momentarily, with a subsequent lapse to l per cent. Loans on time carrying over the end of the year fell to a 3% per cent rate. Facilities for holding securities are thus made abundant and there is no pressure of liquidation.
 The steady tone of the market is consequence in spite of the paralysis of demand.
 Besides the ease of the money market the good promise of the country's crops is sustaining influence on stocks. Confl- dence in the crop outcome was not im- paired last week in spite of some unfav- orable reports affecting the winter wheat crop. This confidence in the progress of the crops keeps up the hopeful spirit which is felt in a revival of business ac- tivity when the crops begin to move.
 This hopeful spirit is discernable in the tone of the mercantile reviews, and in the expressed views of railroad traffic of- ficials.
 In the railroad world there Is note of anxiety over the possibilities of wage ad- justments to be entered upon. Railroad authorities consider that the contraction in railroad earnings confronts them with the alternative of raising freight charges or of reducing wages in order to conduct business at profit.

EFFECTS OF THE HOLIDAY

New York, July 5.-It is necessary to go back to the records of previous years in which presidential elections have oc- cured to find any parallel for the stagna tion in which the securities market ended last week. The dwindling volume of ac- tivity fell by Friday to a total of only 1,OO0 shares. Last week the tendency of the holiday at the end of the week was an additional influence in contract- ing the dealings, the more so as some of the stock exchange members felt them selves aggrieved over the refusal of the governors to grant petition to close the and took their departure early in the week for prolonged holiday
 There was a perceptible, if slight, stir ring of demand in the bond division of the market in spite of the profound apathy in the stock division Usually such demand springs up in anticipa- tion of half yearly disbursements of div idends and interest in January and July
 On this occasion it was indistnguish- able until after the turn of the half year. and was very moderate then. The large oileIluSS ol new issues which nave been placed on the market in the last few months, following the success of the Pennsylvania sales of $40000,000 of first mortgage bonds, are held partly account able for the blunted investment demand.
 The showing of declining earnings of railroads in exhibits now coming to hand. the eneroaehment which results on amounts available for distribution in div idends and even, in some cases the mar gin lacking in the amounts required to meet fixed charges, make an unfavorable influence on demand
 It is obvious that the lack of money market resources plays no part in the sluggish investment demand The half yearly requirements in New York were unusually heavy, including provisions for disbursements approaching $2OO O00, 900 sub scription payments for $11, O0O of new Northern Pacific stock and withdrawal from the banks of something like $25, ,0O0,- 900 by the trust companies to replenish their proportion of reserves in compliance with a newly effective provision of the law. There was besides the notice from the Secretary of the Treasury of the re- call of $45,000,000 of government deposits

Stockholm, July 5.-The absence of news from Sven Heiden, the Swedish explorer, who is hidden somewhere in the wilds of Tibet, is causing anxiety to the members of his family and in official circles.

That portion of the Democratic par
ty opposed to free silver and in sympa-
thy with the Cleveland administration
withdrew from the support of the
Bryan ticket and at a convention held
in Indianapolis on September nomi-
mated General John M. Palmer of Hi
nois for president and Simon Buckner
of Kentucky for vice president on a
gold standard platform which endors-
ed the Cleveland administration.
The Populists met at st. Louis and
logically nominated Mr.. Bryan for
president, with Thomas E. Watson of
Georgia for vice president. Mr.. Bryan
received still a third nomination from
the National Silver party, which met
in ST Louis at the same time.
The campaign which followed was
remarkable for the general discussion
of financial and economic questions,
and for the unusual popular interest
aroused. Mr.. Bryan travelled up and
down the country for months, speaking
to vast throngs of people who were
eager to hear this young tribune of the
people. Mr.. Mckinley, on the other
hand, remained quietly at his home In
Canton, Ohio, and from his door steps
welcomed over 700, 900 visitors and de-
livered over 800 speeches to visiting
delegations. The currency question
was almost the only question discussed
by the campaign orators.
AS election day drew near the popu-
lar interest and excitement reached an
unprecedented pitch. Not since the
civil war had the country been so
stirred by a presidential election. Bus
mess was to a large degree suspended
in expectation of the result. The Re-
publicans carried by unprecedented
majorities every state north of the Po-
tonic and Ohio rivers and east of the
Mississippi. For the first time since
the days of reconstruction the "solid
south" was broken, for the Republic
ans carried Delaware, Maryland. West
Virginia and even Kentucky. McKin-
leys electoral vote was 271. while
Bryan received 176. The popular vote,
however, was much closer, Mckinley S
plurality over Bryan being only about

1t is the Second ward in the city of
Topeka upon which the Democrats are
counting to carry the city for Bryan
At the election two years ago the Sec
ond ward, on the vote for secretary of
state for the two parties, cast 1,606 bal
lots, of which the Democratic candi-
date secured 923 votes and the Repub-
lican $685. This would indicate that the
political complexion of the Second ward
is Democratic by about 24O majority.
Now while there were 1,606 votes
polled in the Second ward two years
ago there is registration in that ward
this year of 2,977. What this increase
in the vote means can only be con-
jectured. The Democrats claim that
the ward stands better than two to one
for Bryan this year and that the strong
sentiment for the Nebraskan will carry
the ticket along on top of the tidal
wave.
Hundreds of workers in the Santa Fe
shops live in the Second ward and
there are hundreds of other working
men living in this ward. There are six
voting precincts in the big Second and
the official supporters of Bryan in this
bailiwick will move heaven and earth
next Tuesday to get the full strength
of the registration to the polls.
The Santa Fe shops have been run
ming on short time for nearly a year
past and great many wage earners
in the Second have been out of work
part of the time at least. But at that
the hard times of the past year have
effected Topeka less than they have
any city in the country. Work has
been plentiful here at all times and at
very good wages. Still there is no doubt
but that there is dissatisfaction to a
more or less extent among the wage
earnerS and the Democrats are count
ing on this condition of affairs with
which to make a big killing in the Sec
ond ward and bring victory to at leas.
part of the ticket in this county.
Last election there were $500 votes
cast in this county while this year To-
peka alone will likely poll over 10000
votes. The Republicans expect to over
come any DETECTION in the labor vote
by the solid strength of the party
among the farmers for Taft and his
ticket and they hope to gain In
strength from the rural districts from
the Democratic ranks.
1t is surely guess work election

the county vote has been about COM

constitution of the republic was pro-
