Aided in Giving Black Eye
To the Stock Market.
Notably an III-adVised Attempt
To Force Up Prices.
Less Money Than Usual to Meet
the Crop Demands.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE reverses
which continued to overtake the stock
market last week were the outcome of
several factors working towards that
end. especially an ill-judged attempt
of a speculative party to force prices
up last month and failure of some of
the helpful influences relied by that
party to carry its ventures to success.
Instead of success ii was overcome by
adversely and forced into liquidation
or to appeal for assistance from
stronger financial hands.
Further impetus was given to the
retrograde movement when it became
known that Henry c. Frick had retired
from the Hartman boards.
Miscalculation of the money market
was a main element in the trouble
that has overcome the speculative po-
sition. Early in the season there was
a presumption that extremely easy
money conditions would prevail
throughout the year. or until de-
cisive business revival should make
additional demands. The heavy ex-
cess of the country's exports over inn
ports also was relied on to establish
a command of banking credits in for
eign markets.
The speculative campaign seems to
have ignored the effects TO be expect
ed from the governments Panama
canal bonds, apparently counting on
the re deposit of the proceeds in the
national banks. Instead of that over
$50. 900, 00o flowed out of the bank re-
serves into the United States treasury.
The Moroccan crisis and the political
upheaval in Great Britain came along
when prices of securities were lnVlt-
/ ngly high. and foreign stocks ana
bonds were sent to market IN New
York to balance New York banking
credits abroad.
The New York money as conses
ouence came to the threshold of this
crop moving requirements with tie
smallest reserve surplus of the decade
with the exception of 1907. me wheat
crop began to move much earlier than
usual and the prospect of a recotd
cotton crop prompted extraordinary
preparations by Southern bankers.

Takes Strong Stand on Recall
OF Judge Question.
Wool Revision Veto viii Be
Sent During The Week.
The President Returns 10 Washing
ton from Beverly, Mass.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. f3.-With Ills
veto message on the Flood resolution
providing for the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico into the Union, prac-
tieaiiy complete, President Taft
brought his weekend vacation here to
a close tonight. The President left
Beverly tonight for Boston in one OF
the White House automobiles, and the
message went with him. He is sched-
uled to reach Washington tomorrow
morning and the message may be
sent to Congress during the day. Only
desire TO revise it slightly after con-
sultation with administration leaders
is likely to postpone its presentation
to Congress until Tuesday, if that
body is in session.
The Presidents veto is understood
TO be based largely upon the provi-
sion for the recall of the judiciary pro-
Nided for in the Arizona constitution
To the New Mexican constitution the
President is understood to have no
particular objection, but the Flood res
olution SO couples the two territories
that a veto must affect them both.
While details of the message we're
not available tonight, il is understood
that the message is quite long. II is
expected that the Presidents position
in regard 10 the recall of the judges
was made plain in no uncertain terms
The wool revision veto message has
not been touched by the President SO
far. but the outlines of it are in his
mind and about all he viii need to do
in Washington viii be to call in a sec
rotary and dictate it. 1t was said here
tonight that the second veto should
reach Congress before the end of the
week.
The President, except for some inn
pnrtant work in the forenoon, rested
today. He left Parramatta In big
motor car shortly after 6 O'Clock,
bound for Boston. AS far as Lynn he
was accompanied by Mrs. Taft and
Miss Helen Taft, who motored back to
Parramatta after leaving the Presi-
dent.
Boston. Aug. 13.-President Taft left
Boston for Washington tonight on the
