Abroad.

New York, Feb. 3-R. G. Dun &

says:
The great accumulation of surplus
funds in New York have made it about
the cheapest money market in the
world and has enabled it to loan at
least $3.50, 100000 abroad. This is a
condition of immense strength. In a
situation which would permit the de-
velopment to the fullest extent of this
country'S Industrial and commercial
possibilities, all this credit placed
abroad would be needed at home and
the money market, while it displayed
notable potential strength, represents a
degree of repression in business here.

it. Prof. Walters is regarded as a very
handsome man and is somewhat of an
idol in the lola schools All the teach

When the school closed for the

Cincinnati, Feb. 3.-The election OF
officers was the most important mat
ter on the program for the closing
session of the unskilled, migratory
and casual workers association, or
hobo national convention here today
Seven candidates have been nomi-

and three for treasurer.
Police permitting, the delegates in
tend to march in a body to the city
hall and urge Mayor Hunt to find en-
pIoyment of some kind for the Gin
cinnati men out of employment.
The convention was marred by a
speech by Joseph Fels, the millionaire
single tax propagandist, who first elat-
ed the 500 or more members in attend
ance by denouncing privilege in land
and the giving of charity and depress-
ed them by saying he believed the only
thing the "hoboes' convention would
accomplish would be to arouse bit
terness.
The delegates discussed proposal
by President James Eads How to hold
the next convention somewhere in
Kansas and then tramp in a body to
vacant land somewhere in the south
west and colonize it.
