LONDON, April 5-Ihe following Ofhcla
announcement was issued from 10 Down
ing street tonight:
Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman has rendered his resignation
to the King. and his majesty has gra-
ciously accepted it,
Sir Henry's resignation caused little or
no surprise. 1t was generally understood
for weeks past that he would seek relief
from Office, his health making his resump-
ton Of leadership out Of the question, and
his only chance of prolonging his life
being to free himself from the cares OF
state.
Sends for Asaulth.
King Edward has summoned the Right
Hon. Herbert Asquith. chancellor OF the
exchequer, to Biarritz. thus following con
stitutional precedent. and Great Britain
viii be without a premier until his mai
esty formally intrusts him with the con-
duct Of the nations affairs.
The members OF the ministry. in ac-
eordance with custom, tender their resig-
nation on such an occasion as the pres
ent but it is understood that they agree
to serve under Mr.. Asquith. although
some reshufiing is inevitable. An op-
portunity will probably be provided 10
place Winston Churchill in a cabinet Of
flee. that Of secretary Of state for the
colonies.
Tributes 10 Sir Henry.
All Of the newspapers. irrespective Of
politics, pay a tribute TO Sir Henry Camp.
Ibeil-Bannerman's many qualities. and ex-
press sincere regret for the circumstances
leading to his retirement. Without be-
ing great orator or natural leader, with
out the commanding talents which dis
tinguished some Of his predecessors. It is
acknowledged that he maintained rare
mastery over his party. and won the
trust Of his supporters 10 an extraordi-
nary degree.
Mr.. AsQuith is unanimously welcomed
as Sir Henry's successor. He IS ex
peeted to infuse new spirit into the coun-
els of the party There can be little
doubt that under his guidance the party
will abandon many Of the caprices which
were rapidly alternating the support of all
true Liberals.
No Modern Precedent,
The resignation Of the premier while
the sovereign is abroad has no modern
precedent. In as much as there can be
no premier until Mr Asquith sees the
King. it is questioned il the House O.
Commons viii be able to transact bus
mess II may be compelled TO adjourn
until Mr.. Asquth returns from Biarritz.
| The cabinet will meet tomorrow 10 dis
| cuss the situation. An early meeting of
the Liberal party viii be held for the
purpose Of formally accepting the lead
ership Of Mr. Asquith. There is good
reason 10 believe that the Marquis of
/ Ripon, lord privy seal. the Earl Of
Elgin. secretary OF state for the colonies.
and Lord Tweedmouth, first lord Of the
/ admiralty, viii take occasion of the re-
| construction Of the cabinet 10 hand in

board Of trade is the likeliest 10 succeed

chequer.

records of the year in the amount of
business transacted and in the willingness
to buy shares offered in the local utility
group and the bank securities.
The fun started on the call of the
Washington Railway and Electric Is. The

there was a large amount OF these bonds
for sale that have been released from
bank loan collateral and several brokers
who had orders to buy for investment
purposes determined to have them Be
ginning at 4 1-2. the price was gradually
hammered down to 75 5-s, where the sell
ing for the day stopped, the holders not
being willing to sell lower than this
figure.
Then there We're some bids for large
blocks Of Washington Railway common
and one for 1000 shares was handed over
to the new president Of the company az
Sl9 d share.
The preferred stock went on record to
the extent Of 100 shares in several trans

COMMENT ON MARKET.

Benjamin Woodruff, OF Post & Flagg-I
THE market opened dull. but toward the
middle OF the day a decided rally set IN
which carried prices 10 a good advance
No news developed 10 create any special
movement in the market and the inn
provement came chiefly from a covering
movement on the part Of shorts, as this
side Of the market had become somewhat
unwieldy from recent selling A supple
mentary order was handed down by
Judge Hough during the day, directing
what questions BIr. Hartman must an
sWer I'm the government Union Pacific
suit. and which he declined 70 reply 10
last year. This had no particular effect,
as undoubtedly an appeal will be taken
from the decision. The New York City
bond sale occurred to-day and Il is re-
ported that over 1000 bids have been sub
mitted. Il is evident that the sale will be
a success. though it is probable that
prices will be only moderate. Pessimism
has been so prevalent in the street lately.
and the trading element so uniformly
bearish that the situation temporarily
was overdone and some recovery is
naturally In order and this constitutes
the history OF the days session"
G. Bowie Chlpman, Of r. F. Hutton &
C0.-"While professionalism rules the
stock market these days. political events
here have been the chief factor in making
the course Of values. though events in
New York have proven a factor at times.
and this was the case in tO-day's ses-
sion This morning the market proved
itself to be much oversold, and insiders
used the New York bond issue TO create
optimism. This issue will probably be
oversu5scribed many times Another
factor was the rumor that Roosevelt is to
issue a statement or message upholding
the Steel Corporation as an example OF
all that is good in corporate life. These
factors were sufficient for a good market
movement and possibly might carry
the market higher before another decline
is seen. There are many reports from
trade centers Of a general resumption of
business in many lines. This IS true in
a sense, but this return Of trade IS from
q complete shutdown and only for the
purpose Of hand TO mouth purchases for
spring trade. ] am not pinning too much
faith that this activity win continue and
I also doubt whether It will become a
market factor. The banks indicate a gain
/ Of 81, 4,250.000 cash this week, which should
show a fairly good bank statement. and
/ I believe that with the short interest out
/ the market viii begin another decline and
stocks should be sold on the strong
spots"
