MONEY AND STOCKS
IN BETTER SHAPE.

~
New York, October T.-The banking
position was adjusted so far last week
as to relieve the pressure on the stock
market from the recall of creditors on
stock collateral and open the way for
vigorous rebound in prices of stocks Ex-
cept for the clouded money outlook, the
industrial prospect was regarded as being
SO strong as to offer clear promise of
future enhancement of values That
there was considerable genuine liquidation
of stocks held on margin was plainly
shown by the course of prices at the
stock exchange. United States Steel was
the leader of the speculative selling early
in the week at SAN compared with s4M
the high record made In the preceding
week. Dealings in this security continued
on an enormous scale.
The movement was not free from crit
icism, especially from foreign sources,
where the provision in the charter of the
corporation, which permits the buying
and selling of the companys own shares,
was pointed to as giving undue power
over the market quotations for the shares
on the part of inside capitalists The
exigencies of the money position abroad
and the influence on that position at
tributed to the borrowing operations in
connection with the American speculation
probably sharpened the criticism of the
American operations.
On Monday the Imperial Bank of Ger
many and on Thursday the Bank Of Eng
land advanced their official discount rates
full per cent only week after the
preceding advance of III per cent in each
case. Successive advances at short in
tervals are most unusual amongst the
t~nI nx,Ira a
supervision. The action was accepted
as an evidence of an abnormal factor in
the money market and was disappoint-
ment Of the hope generally held that the
worlds money market would remain easy
for the rest of the present year.

rocal treaty between Argentina and Amer
lea that gave great promise of mutual
benefit to the business interests of the
countries, but the treaty failed of rati-
fication by the United States Senate

GREAT OUTCRY IS MADE
AGAINST KING ALFONSO
Mob Marches Through the Streets
Making Demonstrations But Police
Disperse the Crowds Without
Serious Trouble.

London, October 1.-THE red flag was
raised in London this afternoon and a
large mob moved upon the Spanish EN-
bassy to make demonstration of it's dis
approval of the execution of Prof. Fran
cisco Ferrer, the convicted revolutionist
at Barcelona a few days ago. Several
bodies of police were stationed at the ap-
proaches to the embassy and they drove
off the crowds in their usual bloodless,
effective way. But considerable excitement
and uneasiness pervaded the neighbor-
hood. The groans and hootings were
plainly heard in the embassy, and at
buckingham palace nearby. No one was
injured seriously, although the mounted
police rode against the crowds and scat
tered them several times.
The trouble began with mass meeting
IN Trafalgar square, which was organized
by several socialist and labor bodies. Sew
eral hundred of the members of these or
ganizations marched to the square, carry
ing red flags draped with crepe, bearing
inscriptions denouncing King Alfonso. A
black bordered banner was raised against
the Nelson column with big letters that

After J. F. Green, secretary of the
Friends OF Russian Freedom. had called
the meeting to order he read a telegram
from the Countess of warwick, saying:
mo words are TOO strong to express
Europe's horror at the murder of Fer
rer."
Several laborite members of parliament
delivered strong orations Victor Grayson
of Manchester, the socialist member
capped the climax by declaring that if the
head of every king of Europe was torn
from his body, it would not pay half the
price of Ferrer's life. He called the Rus
sian Emperor "a dirty monster" and
said that King Edward, who could have
prevented the execution, was responsible
for whatever might happen in England as
result of it. He demanded the expulsion
of the Spanish ambassador.
Strong resolutions were adopted before
the meeting ended. Several thousand per-
sons assembled in the square, the ma
jority attracted by the same curiosity that
would take them to the suffragette DEM
onstrations. The socialist societies. car
rying their banners, then marched in
good order to the Spanish embassy, sing
ing revolutionary songs and hooting King
Alfonso. A great rabble accompanied
them, filing the street

square in front Of the embassy and they

The police would not let the procession

crowds were turned back and kept moving

building. singing, shouting and groaning
The reserves were then brought up and

u Is proposed to organize this de.

cided TO place the enrolment list at
