LAW FOR VIRGINIA

RICHMOND, Va. Feb 5.-Laymen,
clergymen and women of prominence
are thronging the lobbies of the capitol
today endeavoring to prevent the pas
sage of bill substituting the words

The contention is that the change
would turn conservative Virginia into

The bill has passed the senate and is
now up for its second reading in the

pared in the interests of a rich young

TEMBLOR RUMOR
ALARMS MARKET
Sale of Bond Issues Largest in
the Recent History of
the Exchange
R. R. SITUATION is ACUTE
Bank of England DiSappOintS by
Failure to Reduce the
Discount Rate
R. R. SITUATION IS ACUTE
tAssociated Press,

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The most
salient feature of today's market for
securities was the greater breadth ana
better demand for bonds. Sales OF these
issues were the largest in the recent
history of the stock exchange and q
correspondingly improved tone was re-
ported in direct sales by bankers,
Further Improvement was shown in
stocks during the early part of the ses-
sion, but later almost all of the early
gains were wiped out. The selling
movement in the final hour was ac-
companied by rumors of an earthquake
on the Pacific coast. These reports
were promptly denied and We're hardly
a market influence.
over night developments were of an
adverse or negative character. The
failure of the Bank of England to re-
duce it's discount rate gave rise to some
disappointment, although this was
scarcely evident in the prices of Amer
leans at London, many of which made
substantial advances.
A fall IN the Bank of England's pro-
portion of reserve to liabilities from
80 50 to 1898 per cent probably ac-
counts for the maintenance OF the dis
count rate, while the decline of e75,--
200 900 in the aggregate of checks cleared
through the London banks for the week
compared with the same week last year
may be accepted as an indication of
the dullness of general trade in the
British metropolis.
That an acute stage seemed to have
been reached in the western railroad
labor situation may be gathered from
the report that the managers or the
western roads are said TO have ap-
pealed to the government at Washing
ton to avert the threatened strike of
the engineers.

a little selling from Europe today, the east

An Incident of the exchange yesterday was
a bid placed at one time by Broker Wallaeott
for 1000 shares Of Mexican Petroleum common

by the exchange yesterday. These certificates
will be exchanged for old opes as the brokers
turn them in The new certificate is stamped
across the face, to show that It cannot be put
up as collateral by the holder.
At q door meeting It was decided to close
