LONDON RATE UNCHANGED
Directors of Bank of England
Hesitate Before Arriving
at a Decision.

LONDON, December 12-Although an
advance in the bank rate was not expect
ed today the directors Of the Bank of
England were longer than usual In de-
Gliding to leave the rate unchanged The
hesitation was due to the furry in money
on the continent and the depletion Of
nearly f2OO0.OOO in the reserve. 1t is
anticipated If the continental as we'll as
the ordinary gold demand continue some
protective measures will be necessary be-
therefore hardened. money was scarce
and dearer and the market borrowed fur
Their supplies from the Bank of England.
The stock market is also suffering from
the continental money situation Berlin
and Paris selling today in connection
with the slump in ST. Petersburg, the
money stringency and the political situa-
ton weakened most sections. and al
though the settlement was concluded sat
isfactorily the markets closed weak at
the low point. The weakness in New
York caused some uneasiness. but deal
ers here are not largely committed
American securities opened steady.
Trading was active and prices advanced
from - to rs under the lead of Union
Pacific and Canadian Pacific The mar
ket reacted in the second hour and then
became dull Panicky conditions pre-
vailed in the afternoon, owing to the
weakness in Wall street. New York sold
Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific freely
and they dropped points, while Anal
gamated Copper lost . The selling sub
sided in the late trading, when about
half OF the losses were recovered, and
the market closed with better tone
American shares continued to improve
In the street market. and after wide fiuc-
tuations prices became steady at ad-
vances ranging fom Il to Ia over the Of
6cial closing. Union Pacific showed the
largest gain.

STABILITY LATER SHOWN
SHORTS ARE QUICKLY ROUTED

NEW YORK, December achievements
OF stocks were again feverish when
trading was resumed today. The tone
was distinctly heavy. Union Pacific,
about which chief interest conferred, OPEN
ed 4 off, rose u and then fell back rs
to 1884. within u Of yesterdays low
price. Steel was steadier, losing q on
the initial transaction Of 2OOO shares.
There was pronounced weakness in
Reading, which fell back 21s points to
1873 in the first few minutes. Canadian
Pacific dropped 80. American Tobacco 2
and Amalgamated rs.
After an interval of nervous huctua-
lions, in which prices vibrated from 1 to
2 points. the list again took an abrupt
plunge downward. Union Pacific sold at
1907. the lowest since 1908. Reading,
Amalgamated. Smelling and Canadian
Pacific all sold below yesterdays lowest.
The effect of this liquidation on the gen.
eral market was not so pronounced as
rallies when support appeared. Union
Pacific rallied ) points. Reading and
Steel and Amalgamated IL.
Market More Stable.
In spite of further heavy pressure
against Union Pacific the stock market
in general was more stable during the
morning.
Traders were still at loss to account
for the selling of Union Pacific, but the
effect of the break was restricted prin-
cipally to a few speculative stocks and
there was no recurrence of the wide
spread liquidation in high-grade invest
ment issues When it was demonstrated
that the general list was showing bet
ter resistance bull traders grew more
confident and began to absorb stocks on
a rising scale.
Shorts also beat a retreat, which be-
came rout as the price of Union Pa
cihc rose with a rush. jumping as much
as a point between sales until it touched
1851. as compared with 1JOA earlier, and
155 at yesterdays close. There were ad-
vances of 1 to 2 points over last night
in such stocks as Canadian Pacific, St.
Paul. Great Northern. Northern Pacific,
Lehigh Valley. Steel and Southern Pa
ciic. Bonds were firm.
Speculation Becomes Normal.
Speculation returned to something like
q normal basis, fluctuations became mod
crate and aside from some irregularity In
Union Pacific and Reading the market
was commonplace.

the development of the industry in
1885 total of 492 ,461 1888 tons up

the grand total up'to more than
$50, 900, 900 tons. The mines of
Minnesota did not enter the ship
ping until the early SOS, yet up
to and including 1910 the mines of
this state have shipped 254, 1909, 311
tons. and the Mesaba range con-
tributed 224, $40, 94S tons of that
amount. Attic present and pros

Looking up the Estate

Frederick IL. Ahbe Of Athens;
Pa, formerly resident of the
Vermilion range and son-in-law of
the late @. D. Kinney is in Duluth
this week settling up the estate.
Mr.. Kinney's estate is rated by
men, who know him well, at more
than 81 900 900, but it is said that
in late years J he had disposed of
considerable Of his Minnesota hold
ings. For one thing he had sold
the water and light plant at Vir-
ginia, though it is said that he had
not yet received all that was COM
ing to him from the deal. He also
had sold some of his mineral in
terests in Minnesota.
The. estate is in large part i'll
stocks and bonds. He was one of
the large holders of preferred stock
in the F. A Patrick company, and
he was interested in various Duluth
enterprises. Mr.. Kinney still
owned some mineral properties on
the Mesaba and the Guyana ranges
at the time of his demise. He was
also possessed of some valuable coal
and timber lands in West Virginia.
The estate in Pennsylvania is rated
at about half million dollars.

Carey-Gleas0ns Case

From the Crystal Falls Diamond
Drill is taken the following account
of the case recently tried in that
city wherin Judge Carey of Vir-
ginia seeks to secure royalties from
the Gleason Exploration company.
As both Mr.. Carey and the men,
bers of the Gleason company are
well known in Ely the account will
prove of interest. The Drill says:
The case of Carey VS.. the Glea-
son Exploration and Mining Co.
was heard on Monday and the ar
ray of legal talent present was the
greatest seen here in many years.
Mr.. Carey claimed that he had
made an arrangement with the
Gleason people by which he was to
receive all the royalty received on
the Gleason property over AZ cents
per ton and all the royalty received
on the Goodman property over 40
cents per ton. These properties
are located on section IA, 43-35,
northwest of Iron River and are
under lease to the Davidson Ore
Mining Co., the first mentioned at
so cents per ton and the second al
as cents per ton. There are several
million tons of or proved upon the
two properties so that Mr.. Carey,
should he make his case stand up,
stands to win very large interest
in very valuable property.

New Regulations

One of the main features of the
automobile law which went into
effect the first of the year, is that
it provides speed regulations which
supersede all local ordinances and
therefore provide uniformity. One
of the most talked of features is
that it requires vehicles other than
motor vehicles to carry lights at
night. Registration hereafter is
for three years instead of one, and
professional chauffeurs henceforth
must have license after taking an
examination. Children under 16
are not permitted to operate cars
alone. No one is permitted to
leave machine with the motor
running. Intoxicated persons are
guilty of misdemeanor if operat-
ing an automobile. The law also
provides specific road rules and
signals. Esa
