FINANCING SUBWAY
BIG PROPOSITION
Financial Review of the Past
Week Indicates I'm
rest.

New York. May 27.-The stock
market last week gave further evil
dence of the subsistence of speculative
operations of an organized and COM
~prehensive kind, which had been fore
Swallowed during the previous week.
NO u effect was produced by the
campaign for the presidential nominal
ton and the result of the Ohio pri-
maries. The disposition II refrain
from active operations in the market,
however. was attributed to a desire to
await the further shaping of the poll
teal prospect and its possible effect
in again unsettling the business re-
vival. Anxiety was allayed by contin-
ued good reports from the iron and
steel trades.
Resides the political situation, the
money market shared in the RESPONSE
hility for the spirit Of caution display
ed in the speculation. Preparations
for the financing of the New York sub
way construction definitely began, in
Volv1ng the securing of capital re-
sources TO an estimated amount of
$4,000. 900. Assurance is felt that
the plan will arrange for the supplies
in such installnents as to cause the
least possible disturbance of the
money market and by shifting of ac-

d~ertakings involving so huge an
amount. however, cannot be entered
upon without provision of credit and
security such as is bound to affect
available banking resources. Pay
ments for other large bond offerings
must also be considered.
1t is significant of New York's con-
tinued command of banking resources
that the week should have seer a re-
newal of lending to Berlin in spite of
the heavy demands ahead Of our own
market. Good auguries of the French
money market were drawn from the
eighty-two fold subscriptions of the
Paris municipa! loan of Sal, 900, 900.
The effect is qualified, however, by the
determined discrimination of French
investors for home enterprises ever
since last years Moroccan crisis.

cussion of the report of the church's
committee on temperance, and amidst

presented by former Governor ].

the day a short battle had been
fought ver the committees report

league, but h report was adopted.
Or. Dickie's amendment to the COM
mittee report that Chicago be substi-
tuted for Topeka was rejected after a
lengthy debate. Topeka finally was
given the headquarters of the Church
Temperance society in order to aid in
the fight to keep liquor interests from
the state. according to the statements
of a number of Kansas delegates.

Harg. formerly of North Dakota. and
counsel for the Roosevelt forces in
the contested delegate cases before
the national republican committee,
who is in st. Paul today, asserted that
Taft's name would not be presented to

President Taft knows now, and has

opinion"
lished statements we're giving Roose-
Welt what he was entitled to. He
claimed at least twenty-five for
Roosevelt in New York. He was
strong in his denunciation of the
campaign methods used by Taft men
in some states.
Their methods in the south went
beyond all bounds of political de-
cency," he said. The trouble is that
the Taft managers and leaders have
failed to realize that the Roosevelt
candidacy is fundamentally a move
ment of the people, and they thought
that the old political methods would
work in coping with it."
will Senator Roots designation as
temporary chairman be accepted"
McHarg was asked.
"He will never have a chance"
was the reply. LAS soon as the con-
vention doors are open. the delegates
will have control. and they will not
accept any selection from the Taft
forces"
McHarg met State Senator Daniel
Landon Of Seattle. and they spent
the day together preparing evidence
and a brief in the contest for the four
teen delegates from Washington
state. In Washington there were two
conventions and contests are on for
the eight delegates-at-large and for
six district delegates as we'll. Two

thorities of danger from industrial
over-eXpansion give point to the hard
ening of discount rates in Berlin. The
coming Chinese loan makes another
item in the banking account. Specu-
lative excess in London involved some
liquidation last week that had the ap-
pearance of being forced.
Fresh labor troubles in London and
Hungary directed renewed attention to
the breadth of social discomfort the
world wei. The anthracite miners set
Element assuages immediate anxiety in
this country. The demands of the
eastern locomotive engineers now in
arbitration and those of the f1remen
still to be disposed of overhang the
future. The decrease of corporation
net earnings for 1911 of $115,5O0.0 900
as reported by the internal revenu
commissioner was another item for di-
gestion during the week. Further de-
mands from railroads for steel pro-
ducts, keeping the mills running close
to capacity and struggling to effect de-
liveries, coupled with reports of great
development projects by the railroads,
make a ground work for keeping up
speculative confidence.
Another jump in the wheat market
gave new importance to the unsolved
problem of last years harvests. There
were further estimates also of the
acreage forced out of cultivation by
the flood damage in the cotton regions.

Washington, May 25.-The Cuban
disturbances were suddenly thrust up
or congress today when the senate
after a brief discussion passed a reso-
luton instructing the committee on
Cuban relations to investigate and re-
port upon the necessary legislation to
determine when and how the United
States should exercise the right to in
tervene in Cuba under the so-called
Platt amendment law.
In the house a resolution Of similar
import and calling for information

dangered in Cuba, and If so, to what.
extent, has been framed and probably.
