BY w. 6. NICHOLAS.

NEW YORK, August 9-Although the
stock, market continues narrow. friends Of
prices have multiplied to goodly numbers
within the last three weeks, and there
has been going on a quiet buying move
ors are still little people or persons of
moderate means. however The whales
keep in deep water The volume of bust
ness on the exchanges is yet too small to
support the ardent theory that we are al
ready In the midst Of boom. That may
follow later. AS 1t is. the demand has
only a little more than absorbed offerings
Of modest proportions. There were no
plungers to give life to operations. Those
gentry had either gone away disguised
with the contrasts between other days
and the present dullness. or else sitting
around in cool retreats waiting for the
return of better days. Former big
days. had records Of 100000 to 100000
shares, and when the giant gamblers
sions when 100000 to 100000 shares
were dealt in. These days $4,000 shares
are rarities It is q, test OF market loyal
ty however, to throw up the hats In glad
rejoicing when the sum total OF sales
foots up 100000 shares. Such move
ment is considered high pressure-com-
pared with the dullness that preceded the
present cheerful rally Of 3 to points.
Wall street banks have suddenly re-
Taxed their opposition to the banking and
currency BILL and the theory prevails
that it will pass before the close of the
special session. AS amended 1t is gen.
orally satisfactory. The administration
party in Washington has seemingly yield
ed to the arguments of the conservative
element, and the belief is general that a
long period of financial stability is ahead
as a result Of the proposed changes AS
originally framed the bill was alleged to
be full Of defects, but, as 'ironed out" 1t
is believed to be about what Is needed,
and the street Is turning a smiling face
to the proposition. The prospect of sue
cessful financial legislation is regarded by
a majority of bankers as an insurance of
a long period Of uninterrupted national
prosperity. The developments in Wash
ington. taken as a whole, are regarded as
one Of the strongest bullish features in
sight.

TO AID FOREIGNERS

Washington Dec. S.-"The situa-
ton in NeXico is very favorable to
an early settlement" according to
the stat"r.ent of one, of the Cabinet
officials today. It is explained that
the renewal of optimism on the part
of the administration is due to the
constant repetition of the statement
that the rebels will son be in posi-
ton to make an attack on Mexico
Ciy.
They believe that the whole trou-
BILE will he settled by decisive bat
te near the Mexican capital. In that
event no matter whether Huerta or
other generals retire to continue the
fight in the interior, the party in con-
troll at Mexico City will be recognize
ed as the new defacto government.
Secretarq Daniels said today that
there was no new activity on the
part of the Navy and War Depart
ment in resting on the concentra-
ton of cavalry it has made at point
on the Mexican side opposite Ojinaga,
where the federals retreating before
General Villa are expected to enter
United States territory. The federals
will then he disarmed and will not be
allowed 20 recross the border.
Promises Protection.
The State Department declars 1t
has no information regarding the
statement by Huerta that he will
safeguard foreigners in Mexico City.
The officials, however, who are look
ing at the motives of this statement,
think that liberia anticipates the ar
rival of he combined rebel army and
hat he is tying to give assurances to
foreign governments and their COLO
MES of protection from riots in the
city.
Reports continue to be received at
the Stat. Department Of the flight of
men and women out of Mexico. Dis
patches show that the refugees are
coming now from Frontera, in South
ern Mexico. Eight women who were
in the sacked city of Victoria, left
there for Brownsville today and every
train at Laredo brings in few Amer
leans. The trainmaster of the Mon
terey division of the National Mexican
Railway, M. B. Gillette, has been de-
ported by the military authorities
of Huerta at Laredo and ordered not
to return to Mexico.

Senator Swanson admitted that
they did. They knew, did they not,
Senator Root suavely continued to
ask, that when this money was sent
to New York to earn this interest
that if sudden demand came for it
from everywhere, they with other de-
positors would be subject to the diff
ficulties and embarrassment arising
from a objective SYSTEM"
They expected their money to be
loaned in puch way that it would
be promptly returned to them if an
urgent demand for it's return were
made, replied Senator Swanson.
"No," rejoined Senator Root, that
money was sent there to be loaned on
call and country bankers knew it was
to be so loaned, subject to all the in
firmities that accompanied the system
of gathering the money of the country
in New York to be loaned on call. :"
Senator O'Gorman read many ex-
tracts from the testimony of leading
country ranks patronizing the New
York BANKS and the treatment they
had received during the 1907 panic.
Senator Swanson gave the bill his
cordial approval and particularly
praised the provisions permitting
loans upon foreign lands. He COM
mended the President for his courage
and insis:ence upon this legislation.
