And Sees Opportunity for Branching
Out in Usefulness.

Princeton. ". j.. May o2.-The report of
q large bequest to the graduate school of
Princeton University by Isaac Chaunsey
Wyman,ss class of lS4s. of Salem, Mass,
caused a sensation today in Princeton
among the trustees who happened to be
here. faculty members and undergrad
yates of Princeton. Dean Andrew F.
West. ~ mentioned as n joint executor
with Mayor John Raymond of Salem.
Mass, was In Boston tonight but tele-
phonic communication from Mr.. Ray
mond brought the information that !,
conservative estimate of the beauest
would be $o.00o,0O0 and upwards. but prob
ably not slo.0O0oo0. The bequest opens
anew the graduate college discussion
which became an issue when an offer of
100000 was made for the graduate school
by William Cooper Proctor 80 of Cincin-
natl,
1t Is believed that the additional large
sum available for the graduate college
will by reason of its magnitude set aside
a number of conditions which have hith-
erto been prime factors in the dispute
ably be eradicated because the large gift
will make possible the territorial expan-
sion of the university into parts now re-
mote from the campus

Than That Already Found
Is Being Looked for
In Present Unsettled Condition
Of the Stock Market.
The Holding Out Of Grain and Cot
ton Is Suspected.

New York, May 22.-The letharglc
conditions which prevailed in the stock
market last week brought explanations
| in several superficial causes, but there
was left a feeling of apprehension of
| possibly deeper seated ground for the
phenomenon lying in general condi-
tions. The torpid stock market was in
contrast afforded a suggestion of one
possible cause. Bankers in Wall Street
| persistertly point to the heavily ex-
tended loan position of banks to the
controller of the currency.
The conviction of these bankers is
that the holding of grain and cotton
on. of the market for the purpose of
maintaining the price involves the ty-
ing up of large banking credits which
figure in the loan accounts of the coun-
trys banks. The high price of commo-
dities are blamed for the disarrange-
ment of foreign trade by which exports
are below the level of previous years
while imports are far in excess.
The banking world believes that a
speculative liquidation in grain and
cotton, a lowering of prices of those
and other commodities and revival
of export demand follow will consti-
tute a necessary preliminary to the
restoration OF healthy, strong trade
conditions, such as would warrant a
comprehensive forward movement in
financial affairs. The progress of the
growing crops is watched with even
more than the customary interest at
this time of the year for the bearing
it must have in directing the course
of prices OF these products, and in in
fuencing the hoped for liquidation.
Large outlay in purchase of new
land is ascribed as another large fac
tor in the loan expansion by banks.
That expansion affects the supplies of
capital available for the plans of rail-
roads for enterprises and offers one
explanation for the torpid bond mar
ket. The important relief for that con-
ditions expected from. the sales of
large new issues of American bonds
to foreigners has been thrown into
doubt by the course of the foreign eX-
changes ard by the reticence observed
by ALI those concerned in an official
way with the negotiations. This doubt
made a prime factor in the dizziness Of
the stock market. which carried down
the rate of activity to a level not
touched before since July of 1908.
Opinions on the crop prospects were
hopeful last week, in spite of the
backwardness of the season.
