HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS.

1t is understood that members of
the association in several adjoining
counties will take up the several
questions with the hope of agreeing
upon policy that will enable the
growers to get their money sooner
and with less expense and loss to
their crops. The growers claim that
they can arrange to get an average
of 9 cents in cash upon the delivery
of their crops and that is what they
are fighting for.
In concluding the resolutions the
mass-assembly set forth in strong
language the position they would
take should the association fail to
redress the alleged wrongs and COM
plants noted. They firmly resolve
as white, free-born citizens never
to sign another obligation to the
present Planters Protective Associ
alton" The resolutions are as fol-
lows:

ENTITLED TO VOICE.
Resolved, seventh, That we furnish
the land, the labor and the money to
produce our tobacco. and we feel, as
free and intelligent citizens, that we
are entitled to a voice in the manage
ment Of the business of any organi-
cation to which we belong.
Resolved, eighth, That we desire
to work in harmony with each other
and with the Planters Protective
Association for the profits and well
fare of all parties concerned.
Resolved, ninth, That the pres
ent method of handling our tobacco
by the association is not profitable
nor satisfactory to the farmers of
Lyon county, and we form and adopt
these resolutions because we want to
be benefited by them. and do not in
tend to nor desire to do anything
to the welfare of the
association.
Resolved, tenth, That unless
these resolutions or other methods
are adopted by which the tobacco in
dustry will be more satisfactory and
profitable to the Lyon county far
mers we firmly resolve, as white,
free born citizens, never to sign an
other obligation to the present Plan

Hold Mass Meeting and In

Protest.

Eddyville, KY, Nov. 16.-About
500 farmers Of Lyon county met in
Kuttawa and Lamasco, and passed
a set Of resolutions in connection
with the Planters Protective Asso-
citation, the organization in which
they have all pooled their tobacco
crops. The meeting was called to
protest against the manner in which
the pooled tobacco in the association
is being handled.
Hugh Lyon, the precinct chairman
of the Lyon county branch of the as
ISOLATION, was one of the principal
figures of the mass-meeting, which
was called to consider the advisibili-
ty of the farmers of Lyon county

sold at reduced price.

CAUSING DISSATISFACTION

Resolved, fourth, That because
our tobacco has not been sold is caus-
ing much dissatisfaction among our
people, for we need the money that
is involved in the remainder of cur
1907 crop of tobacco to pay our tax
es, our rents, our store accounts,
doctors bills, etc., and we feel that
we are being imposed upon by not
having our tobacco sold or being al
lowed to sell it ourselves.

Speculation Diverted.

The speculation was diverted into Read
ing by rumor that the second preferred
was TO be exchanged half into first pre-
ferred and half into common stocks, as
provided in the terms of issue, and the
common stock TO be placed on higher
dividend basis.
This is rumor many times repeated in
the past and it found no official confirma-
ton today. Pennsylvania enjoyed some
advantage from the report that the dis
pute with its locomotive engineers had
been put on a basis for discussion. The
obvious effort to take advantage of these
sustaining factors to effect realizing sales
decided the ultimate downward course of
the market. Unfavorable reports from
Vienna of the outlook in the Balkans had
some depressing effect.
Another increase surplus freight cars
for the half month ending November %
reported by the American Railway Assoc
citation was not liked. and was coupled
with the opinions expressed by several
railroad officials that buying of railroad
equipment would be slight for the imme-
date future.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT

NEW YORK December 5.-The state

IT'S 500
The Financier will say:
The notable feature of the statement OF
the Associated Banks of New York city
for the week ending December 5. taking
the actual condition of the banks as a
basis for comparison. was a decrease OF
S9O03. 400 in loans. decrease of $3.50,
800 in cash and decrease of S2O,SSO. 400
in deposits. The effect of these changes.
which were directly contrary to prelim-
mary estimates. was to decrease the sur
plus of the clearing house banks by si,-
$50 coo, making the present surplus re-
serve of the clearing house institutions
s19.53O, 725. the lowest reported since the
banks began to recover early in the year
from the effect of the 1907 crisis.
1t is quite probable that the statement
was affected in all details by the adjust
ment of the December first interest per.cd
and it is interesting in this connection to
note that the summary of state banks and
trust companies In Greater New York
not reporting to the New York CLEARING
houses shows IA remarkable increase for
the week of s2O,5S7 800 in loans and an
increase Of So. 1850 in net deposits,
while at the same time cash holdings
were expanded only about $4,000.
1t would seem. therefore, that the losses
sustained by the clearing house banks,
as noted above. have been more than
compensated by trust company gains dur
ing the week-in other words that the
loans of the clearing house banks have
been transferred to the trust companies.
The losses in cash of the clearing house
banks for the week were due to trans
actions with the subtreasury. to the ex-
port of one and one-half millions OF gold
to Paris and about one million dollars
gold which was shipped to Canada.
The movement to the interior was very
small The clearing house banks at the
present are only slightly above the re-
quired legal reserve of % per cent. the
actual reserve Saturday standing at g 53
per cent

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, December 5.-tnVestment busi.
ness on a moderate scale has been the
chief support Of the stock exchange mar
kets during the past week. Speculation
has been practically dead. principally be-
cause of the continuance OF the unsettled
conditions in the near east. Japanese and
Chinese bonds attracted Increased atten-
ton and showed good improv e:nent on the
agreement between Japan and the United
States, while British securities were helped
by the American shipments OF gold to
Paris, which it was hoped would result in
reducing the Paris demands on London
and enable the Bank OF England to get
the weekly gold arrivals and thus offset
the Argentine and Egyptian shipments. 1t
was hoped at the same time that this
American gold would prevent a rise in
the banks rate of discount.
The closing tone today was generally
easy on unfavorable rumors from the con-
tineut regarding the situation in the near
east.
American securities shared in the pre-
yailing dullness. The loW-priced issues
spurted early in the week, but the enthu-
siasm died out later, and Rerlin took its
profits, which caused a setback. The
news from Wall Street did not encourage
fresh commitments. and the market here
followed New York's irregular movement,
prices closing from one point lower to two
points higher than last Saturday. Wa
bash preferred was an exception being
eight points dearer.
PARIS, December ). Prices on the
bourse today opened heavy, but became
steady toward the close.
BERLIN December 5.-Trading on the
bourse today was quiet. Prices opened

Railways Played Up Because Of De-
ceptive Rumors.
WABASH GROUP CONSPICUOUS
Reading the Spectators Favorite.
Convulsive Rise in Kansas
City Southern.

NEW YORK, December 5.-Violent
fluctuations and excited speculations in a
limited number of stocks were the fruit
of the circulation of rumors which lacked
confirmation. The movement In the stocks
Immediately affected had so much of an
appearance of artificiality that stocks were
sold in other portions of the list. and the
price movement was thus made irregular
and confused and at last acutely weak.
The Wabash group was conspicuous on
the ground of rumors of coming plan
for financing the needs of the group In
which, it was intimated, the influence of
T.. H. Hartman would be seem 1t was
this intimation that was the principal
stimulating influence on the group, al
though no authority was offered for the
report.
The spaSmodic movement In Kansas
City Southern seemed based On no other
consideration than that 1t had moved pre-
viously to an extent commensurate with
other low-priced stocks. Its convulsive
rise of five points gave way to reaction
in which sales were made In succession
at concessions of as much as $l.oO a
share.

The Bank Statement.

The bank statement gave abundant test-
mony to the effect of the Withdrawals of
cash for export of gold, for restitution Of
government deposits and OF the bond fota-
tons of the week. 1t is manifest, also,
that with the more profitable money rates
the trust companies have become lenders
on an enlarged scale.
The actual condition of the clearing
house banks shows decrease of zoos, +OO
in the loan item. although the daily aver
ages for that item have risen S6,GOS. 200
but the 500 800 loan expansion OF the
banks outside the clearing house and the
trust companies indicates the force OF the
weeks demand.
Preparations for today's subscriptions to
the Panama canal bonds Inquired in part in
the result The decrease i'll the cash hold
ings of the banks was larger than the
preliminary estimates, and il is believed
that the trust companies are responsible
also for these Withdrawals in preparation
for January disbursements. In conse-
quence of this action the weeks clearing
house balances rose to S119, -, $50, which
constitute a record.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par

The Alaska prospector., 1908-06-18
LAST INNING FOR HOGGATT

It is well to await confirmation of the story in the press dispatches yes terday that Gov. Hoggatt declared in Seattle that only dive-keepers and their sympathizers favor territorial government and oppose him although 1t accords familiarly with his previous explosions on the subject. It seems incredible, however, that even Gov. Hoggatt with his known intolerance and utter lack of tact and political judgment, should so assail the plat form of his own convention and a numerous element involved in the bargain which has enabled his follow ing to claim victory.
 In order to put through the bargain with Corson, which alone permitted the governors squad to frame up an apparent majority, composed chiefly of bogus credentials, in the convcn- ion, the governors supporters accepted verbatim the platform of the Juneau convention of last No vember, which declared for territorial government and which the governors $ organ steadily denounced all winter. John Corson himself was member of the committee which wrote that platform. In accepting Corson and his platform the Hoggatt faction sold their professed principles for the post of national committeeman from Alaska.
 Can it possibly be true that Gov. Hoggatt is now spewing slime upon his former opponents who joined with him In the dirty bargain at Kctchi- kan, and If so why? Is he ashamed of tho disreputable job his faction took part in at Ketchikan? Or is he 30 intoxicated with slight success that he thinks he can afford 10 snub and insult the men whose dcscrtion of former allies made that ephemeral success possible?
 If only dive habitues oppose Gov. Hoggatt then 90 per cent of the pco- pie of Alaska belong to that category. Less than 10 per cent of the bona tide residents of Alaska would vote for Hoggatt for governor or dog-catchcr.
 If the governor really emitted the squawk charged to him it offers cum ulative evidence of the fact that whom the gods would destroy they first m ako mad.

HARSH CRITICISM
 FOR ALASKANS

Seattle, June 12-"Alaskans, and failure to gain from congress such legislation as is desired for the terri tory"
 Such is the assertion of Congress- man Humphrey, who returned from the national capital today. Continu- ing. Congressman Humphrey said that congress is willing and anxious to aid Alaska but that on every hand the lawmakers are confronted with inability to gain any adequate idea of what the residents of the territory, for at least such of them as are in evi- dence around Washington, are all ways at divergence. The congress- man cited several instances of where have been under discussion and where all attempts to arrive at some definite conclusion from the testimony of AL askans had been futile.
 So far as congress is concerned, ac- cording to Mir. Humphrey, the only question is one of the real needs of the territory and this question can never be answered to the satisfaction of the lawmakers until Alaska can present solidity of opinion with re- gard to the matter at hand. This same state of cross purposes is, in the opinion of the congressman, responsi- blc for the failure of Alaskans to have the federal offices in the territory filled by men who are residents of the country.

JUDGE BRADFORD
 DIES IN THE EAST

Word was received in Valdez Sat urday evening that Judge T. D. Brad ford, one of the best known mining men in this section died very unex- pectedly Saturday. The message came to Thad Bradford, a son of the deceased, from another son, Alex, now in Boston, and gave no details, it Is believed that death came while Judge Bradford was on his way to Seattle enroute to Valdez.
 The deceased was president of the Crown Copper Co.,, with holdings on Knights Island and was also inter- ested in q project to establish smell ter on the Sound. 1t is understood that the finances for this latter enter prise were assured.
 Judge Bradford was Il man about 50 years old and for the last eight or ten years had been interested in min ing projects in various parts of Alaska He has been interested in the locality of Valdez for about two years. The deceased was a man with large ac- quaintance in eastern financial cen ters, particularly so in Wall street, and mining men of this section eX- press the opinion that his death is d blow to the welfare of Valdez and Prince William Sound.
