Those who are familiar with the
condition of the ground in the Wal
Iowa country state that it would not
be practical to resume work of active
construction there until the weather
settles. While there may be some
truth i'm this and the fact that orders
nave been sent down the line TO re-
sumo work is taken to mean that
the company means what it says and
that in a very few days a force of
men will be sent to the branch road

LITTLE DOING
ON THE STOCK
MARKET TUESDAY
(By Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-The dimin-
ishing volume of business and the
narrowing range of price fluctuations
are evidence of growing profession
alism Of the stock market. Another
indication of the same state of af-
fairs is the short duration of price
movement in one direction. The
presentation of the presidents an
nual message to congress, being the
principal event of the day was seized
upon for attempted use as motive
for price movement. Stocks were bid
up on the assumption that the effect
of recommendations in the message
will be favorable to values. It's af-
fectiveness as a stimulant to new op-
erations in stocks proved to have
been over estimated, as shown by a
decrease in activity of dealings after
it's appearance and dropping tend
ancy of prices. Bonds were steady.

three per cent certificates OF indebt-

posit in the national banks the pro-
ceeds of these issues, and to permit
their use as basis for additional
circulating notes of national banks.
The moral effect of this procedure
was SO great that it was necessary to
issue only $24,631,9S0 of the Pan
anna canal bonds and SIS, 5,436,500 of
the certificates of Indebtedness.
During the period from July /,
1901, to September 80, 1908, the
balance between the net ordinary re-
ceipts and the net ordinary expenses
of the government showed a surplus
in the four years 1902, 1908, 1906
and 1907, and deficit in the years
1904, 1905, 1908 and a fractional
part of the fiscal year 1909. The net
result was a surplus of $99,2S3,-
413.54. The financial operations of
the government during this perior,
based upon these differences between
receipts and expenditures, resulted in
a net reduction of the interest-bearing

Cardinal Gibbons will give the in

Vice President Fairbanks will well

The salient points of the message
of President Roosevelt to congress
are as follows:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The financial standing of the ma
tion at the present time is excellent,
and the financial management of the
nations interests by the government
during the last seven years has
shown the most satisfactory results.
But our currency system is imperfect,
and it is earnestly to be hoped that
the currency commission will be able
to propose a thoroughly good system
which will do away with the existing
defects.
During the period from July 1,
1901, to September 80, 1908, there
was an increase in the amount of
money in circulation of $902,991,-
399. The increase in the per capita
during this period was $7.06. Within
this time there were several occa-
sions when it was necessary for the
treasury department to come to the
relief of the money market by pur-
chases or redemptions of United
States bonds; by increasing deposits
in national banks; by stimulating
additional issues of national bank
notes, and by facilitating importa-
tions from abroad of gold. Our i'm
perfect currency system has made
these proceedings necessary, and
they were effective until the none
tary disturbance in the fall of 1907
immensely increased the difficulty of
ordinary methods of relief. By the
middle of November the available
working balance in the treasury had
been reduced to approximately $5,-
100000. Clearing house associations
throughout the country had been
obliged to resort to the expedient OF
issuing clearing house certificates, to
be- used as money. In this emer-
gency it was determined to invite

BIG FOG
CAUSED
ACCIDENT
(By Associated Press.)

OAKLAND, Dec. S.-Losing her
course in one of the densest fogs that
has ever been experienced in the bay,
the ferry steamer Berkeley early last
night ran into portion of the pier
while trying to make the slip at the
Oakland mole, injuring eight or ten
people, one of them fatally.
AS the boat neared the mole and
was slowly feeling her way in the
fog, which rendered objects a few
yards away entirely invisible, the
passengers crowded to the forward
part of the lower deck, preparatory
to going ashore.
The Berkeley struck the end of the
pier and the force of the collision
broke the stanchions supporting one
of the forward lifeboats, caushing
the heavy boat to crash down upon
the crowd below.
