FINANCIAL REVIEW
OF WEEKS EVENTS

New York, May 23.-Prices OF
stocks fiuctuateJ quite widely last
week, but their course often shifted.
rising one Gay and falling the next,
with a tendency to return to a fixed
level In a few of the most consplcu-
GUS securities there was q striking ad-
vance and this served to preserve a
semblance of general strength In the
market. The professional traders
have been watchful for reaction. IL
was felt that IL the market had been
toD-heavy or vulnerable as was feared
IL must have succumbed TO accident OF
fright The small FURRY caused by
the death OF II. H. Rogers made a
small impression in speculative senti-
ment as proving the resistance of the
market. The actual conditions bear
ing on value moved toward their en-
hancement. Trade and industrial ad-
vices point quite generally and con-
clusively to the rising tide or the
betterment at work.
Steel trade conditions we're ac.
cepted Of freely and the key to the
situation. Events pointed convincing
ly to the restoration In progress. Some
notice was given to the decision IN
the independent steer manufacturers
to restore wages. 1t WAS inferred
from this point that the reduction Of
wages by the United States Steel cor.
poration which was supposed to be In
contemplation would be avoided The
incident was accepted also us proof
that steel production was Yielding
good profits.
The weeks speculation converged
largely on the United States Steel
shares In conformity with the import
ance attached to steel trade develop
ments.
In the New York money market an
easy tone has followed the hardening
which came in response to the first
demand from reviving trade. The east
er tone is due, In some part, to sup
plies secured by bankers loans in
foreign markets. Foreigners have
been steady sellers Of American Sc
curities, prompted by the high level
OF prices. The enormous volume OF
this country's importation of mer-
chandise and the falling off In ex-
ports of breadstuffs make another fac
tor Of strength in foreign exchange
market.
The effect Is to relieve the credit
account Of our banks. The relief is
timely as the national banks of the
country have volume OF deposits and
Of loans outstanding in excess OF any
previous record In cne history OF the
country. The expansion of the loan
account Of the national banks since
May Is. of last year, nas reached
$434 ,763,993, and that In a period when
revival Of trade from period OF de-
preston has progressed In but
moderate degree.

CASE OF THE POLITE PEoNs.
And tho Engineer Who Knew Little
Spanish and Tried to Boss Them.

An engineer who came up a while
ago from Mexico told story about a
man in his line who had a rather linn
tied knowledge of Spanish but fancied
that by combining what he knew and
some English he could make the poems
employed on the railway understand.
In his vocabulary were these words:
Para, stop; ustedes hombres, you men:
pfedras. stones. and via. road. One day
this engineer was walking up the track
and saw lot Of poems standing around
doing nothing. So he stopped and
said:
"Ustedes hombres. why are you
piedras and throw them in the middle
Of the via."
The always polite Mexicans smiled
and said, "Si. senor," and the engineer
marched away. Then they debated
what he meant and decided he wanted
the stones thrown on the other side Of
the track. They started to do that
and back came the engineer.
Para, ustedes hombres, para! Didn't
ustedes hombres hear what | said?
Didn't tell ustedes hombres to take
those piedras and throw them in the
middle of the via? Why don't you do
what l said?"
And he marched away as the poems
said suavely. Isl, senior"
They had another consultation and
decided that what he wanted was to
have the piedras thrown clear across
the track In the other direction. So
they began. again, tossing the stones
back again The engineer came rush
Ing back. shouting:
Para. para! What is the matter
with ustedes hombres? Do ustedes
hombres take me for a fool?"
He paused and, believing that he
had come to the end of his speech the
poems bowed gravely and said: Isl,
senor."

HORSE RACING, MINISTER'S

Two of our local ministers, In their
sermons Sunday, spoke on the de-
moralizing effect of betting at horse
races and, In particular of the bad
influence Of the race meet in Og-

Rev. Elderlsin said: Let the horses
come back. But give the touts and
cappers and tinhorns to understand
that our police are at present pro-

BREAKING UP HARRlMAN'S
MERGER.

The interests dominant in the Har

ingly looking forward to the posi-
bility OF the government winning In its
action to break up the merger. A
Washington dispatch states that hold
ers Of Union Pacific, supposed to be
insiders, have been selling extensive
ly. and report has had 1t that they
we're investing the money in South
ern Pacific shares in the open market,
The Washington explanation OF this
Is that the Union Pacific crowd is
fearful of possibly losing the case
which 1t is fighting against the gov.
eminent, In which the latter seeks to
break up the merger between the I'm.
ion and Southern Pacific.
Union Pacific people, 1t is supposed,
are holding back enough shares to be
secure In control, and turning the rest
INTO the Southern Pacific in order to
DC assured of supremacy.
There is a possibility that the gov.
eminent might secure some court OF.

right and the other as wrong, and to

Houston, Tex, July 26.-That fif-
teen persons were killed and the town
of Bastrop Bay, IA miles from Angle
ton, Tex, devastated, and that the few
survivors are barely subsissing an a
scant supply of sea food, was the re-
port brought to Houston today by
Capt. Pat Benson. Captain Benson
has just returned from tour of thai
section of the coast skept by the
storm of last week.
He declares that five members of
the Wolff family and three negroes
were buried by members of his party
on the beach and the few survivors
who remain assert that they buried
seven others. The inhabitants, Capt
eBnson states, are in pitiable con-
dition for the lack of food, water and
clothing, and for miles the bay is lit,
tered with wreckage of fishing craft

at a velocity as high at times as
twenty miles an hour caused the
postponement of the expected trial
and all that Wright attempted was
a brief flight without a passenger,
in order to show the president that
the aeroplane really could fly and to
avoid disappointment for the great
crowd. It was not until Z o'clock
that the Wright Brothers abandoned
hope of undergoing the endurance
test of one houhs duration with a
passenger. From early in the after
noon until that hour, the two
brothers were besieged in their shed
by cabinet ministers, diplomats, SEN
ators and representatives who had
come to the reservation to witness
the expected fight. After the fight
Orville Wright declared himself well
satisfied with his achievement under
what he termed very unfavorable
conditions. He expressed the hope
of being able to undergo the govern
ment test for both endurance and
speed tomorrow. The time limit for
the o1scial tests expires on We'd
nesday.

BANK CLOSED
AS CASHIER
COPS Cash
(By ASsOcia ted PreSS.)

Upton, Ind, July 26.-The First
National bank Of this city, one of
the oldest financial institutions of
Northern Indiana, is closed. Its as
sistant cashier, Noah R. Marker, has
disappeared, taking with him be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 which was
all the cash that was in the banks
vaults at the close of business last
Saturday afternoon. Marker, after
sweeping together the money, set the
time lock on the safe so that 1t
could not be opened until 9 o'clock
this morning. He left the city on a
train for Indianapolis at s o'clock
Saturday evening, telling his wife
that he should spend Sunday with
his father and mother in Indian
apolis.
Marker left note on the desk of
his brother, William Marker, cashier
of the bank, saying that he had gone
forever and that he had taken
Enough money to pay his expenses.
The fact that he had emptied the
cash box of nearly 100000 was not
known until the time the clock ave
admittance to the bank this morn
ing.
Whether or not Marker had prev
iously taken money from the banks
funds and had covered up the defal-
cations by making false entries In
the books cannot be learned until
the arrival of a national bank exam
liner. The directors of the bank to-
day decided to suspend the banks
Operations until the examiner should
have taken charge of the books.
They posted on the front of the bank
building a placard reading: IN. R.
Marker, assistant cashier of this
bank has absconded with all the
cash. The treasury department at
washington has been notified and
the bank will remain closed awaiting
