FINANCIAL REVIEW
MIR. tnrriman's Disapprovni Of Condi-
lions scared Speculntors--Too
Much borrowed Money.

New York Sept. 2o.-Thc pronounced
reactlonary tone which developed in the
securities market last week was gener-
ally attributed to what the financial dis
trict called n political scare" After the
result of tho Maine election became
known Tuesday the struggle to maintain
prices became manifest The special
force given to the political scare" was
due to T.. H. Hartman and James ].
Hill. giving public uttcrancc to views ex-
pressing n feeling of doubt over the out
come OF the elections and dissatisfaction
with tho ianguid interest in the campaign
manifested by voters. Coupled with this
tone of admonition against tho assump-
tlons current in Wall street on the poll
cal situation were other circumstances
which intensified tho impression that
these accepted financial authorities found
something to criticise In the course 10
which the speculation has run. This i'm
preston was decisive in checking tho
speculative operations for an advance
and preciptating liquidation. Mr.. Harri-
man called In the newspaper men and
bluntlv denied many of the rumors which
had been in circulation regarding his
properties and his plans. This action cut
away the ground from under the specula
tive position of the most active element
ir the market operations and implied the
disapproval Of the man credited with
landing all his power and influence to
the movement
Wien It was realized that tho sup
the market was being practically dis

OF the unfavorable factors In the sit
uation. Among these II was not lost
sight OF that enormous obligations
for call loans. presumably employed
in market operations were controlled
by the financial institutions holding
close relations with the wealthy group
credited with the leadership in the
stock market. The dependence Of the
speculative position upon this rela
ton was a cause of uneasiness. This
was aggravated by the course of the
money market The process OF piling
up idle reserves In the New York
banks manifestly had come to n pause
with the beginning Of the flow of

AS soon as the chairman of the inau-
Rural committee is appointed, he and
the major win decide as to the details
OF his plan.
IF we get a sufficient appropriation.
said Major Sylvester yesterday, 1--WE
shall employ 400 or 500 additional
Iicement to assist the regular force d"
ing the Inauguration period. The regu-

crowds are greatest, while most Of
the temporary policement will be sent

''The number Of detectives from other
cities who will assist the washing on
police in keeping watch on the pick
pockets and other crooks who infest
Washington at that time will depend on
the size OF the appropriation made by
Congress. It is customary for the larger
cities TO send at least one detective
TO Washington and as their expenses
must be paid by the District, a good
round sum is required
