Opposition at once developed to
Burns taking charge of the investiga-

that Burns, while making his graft
investigations in San Francisco, had
involved some rich and powerful
friends of this opposition.
The opposition selected Earl Rog-
ers, known as the attorney-detective,
to conduct its investigation Otis,
owner of the Los Angeles Times, gave
his support to this plan.
Efforts to have the two investlga-

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. December 31.-During the
short week on the stock exchange, in
which the final settlement of the year
was arranged, business was somewhat
restricted, but the tone was good through
out and prices were generally higher.
Dealers are looking for an expansion
of business with the release Of dividends
next week. The chief business was again
in foreign bonds and home rails, with
interest broadening in Rhodesian mines
yesterday. but reacted today on poor
trade reports, and closed dull and a
point higher on the week. Money was
exceedingly scarce, owing to year-end
requirements, and the market borrowed
a huge amount from the Bank of Eng
land. This sum, however, will be re-
leased early in the new year, and with
the dividend disbursement, will make
conditions easier. although the recur-
renee of the foreign gold demand has
somewhat dampened the prospects for
extreme ease in rates
Money was scarce and dearer today.
Discount rates were inclined to weaken
in anticipation of cheaper monetary con-
ditions shortly.
The attendance was light on the stock
exchange and only small business was
done. COnsols hardened a fraction, but
kaffirs and copper shares declined on
realizing.
American securities started quietly
steady. but support was lacking and
prices eased off partially. The closing
was quiet with values a small fraction
either side Of parity.
PARIS. December 31.-Prices were firm
on the bourse today The private rate of
discount was reduced Is to 2$s per cent.
BERLIN, December 31.-Prices were

OF an official estimate that the Canadian

ket Dfscouraging prospects In western

2i.c to 12lsc more than twenty-fOur
hours previous.
According to the Canadian minister OF
agriculture, the yield of wheat north of
the United States boundary had been

should have been put at 1M9:O,UO

Altogether, the volume of business was
not large, however, nor were price
changes wide, a restraining influence in
both respects resulting from two holidays
ahead. The May option ranged from

In corn the December delivery was
subject to radical fluctuations within a

orally supposed. Another surprise lay
i'm the big clearances, a sign that ex-
