NEW YORK, July s.-The fact that
eighteen clearing house institutions
began business today with less than
the required reserve naturally exert
ed depressing influence upon the
stock market. Such showing, in
spite of the relatively easy rates for

the money market outlook presented

made the more interesting by the
quick rise of Ia per cent in time
loans for all periods and by the dis
ccvery that one bank alone reported
a shortage in reserve which exceeded
the actual deficit shown by all the
banks in the clearing house.
The stock market was weak through
out the day, and at the low level
reached shortly after two o'clock there

president is embitteEed by the recol-

friends in New York state, where ey-
cry species Of political dishonesty was
resorted to by the Taft people, even to
smuggling and closing of polls in
Roosevelt precincts, to defeat him.
Judging from the efforts Taft is
putting forth it must be felt that he
is in danger of losing his home state.
In several towns into which he has
gone it is stated that the feeling is
running strongly against him and that
appeals to state pride are having but

against him of treachery to the peo-
pies interest have sunk deep, appar-
