 In series of parliamentary moves on the floor of the House May II during consideration of the S46o 100000 road bill, the Delegate obtained the definite statement from the spokesman for the com mittee on roads that failure tc include Alaska specifically in the bill does not preclude the Terri tory from obtaining road grants from the Public Works Admins tration appropriation which is ax- pected to be made shortly.
 The Delegate offered an amend ment which would have added not more than $1O,0O0,O00 to the bil for expenditure in Alaska, tht Canal Zone, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. In view of the fact that an appropriation for the Alas ka Road Commission is already in cluded in the Interior Department appropriation bill-the only roao appropriation made for any des- ignated section of the country dur ing the present session-there was committee objection to adoption of the amendment.
 Having gained his point in secur- ing the statement that the Terri tcry was not barred from sharing in PWA grants, MT. Dimono promptly withdrew the amendment
 The effect was to remove possi- bility of congressional objection te further PWA allotments for road; in Alaska.
 The Territory is eligible to re- ceive part of the $50,000,000 sci aside in the bill for roads in ma tional forests and parks The an nual appropriation of the $460,. 100000 has not yet been made.

DULLNESS MARKS
WOOL BUSINESS
Many Mills Do Not Plan to
Reopen for Two or
Three Weeks.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 2. Wool
tops, goods and by-products remain
slow despite settlement of the textile
strike. With wool goods orders light
many mills that shut down during
the strike do not plan to open for
two or three weeks. These mills are
not in the top market now and may
not be for a few weeks.
Sentiment in the trade has been
helped by the better tone of foreign
wool markets over the week end,
along with reports from San Angelo,
Tex, that the Government has agreed
to the growers suggestion that it take
over a considerable portion of the
1894 wool crop.
This is an in-between season for
mems clothing, so far as the cloth
mills are concerned, SO mills at this
time usually make goods only for
samples or stock. The strike, how
ever. produced some shortages in
women'S wear, especially in popular
priced cloakings, selling between Sl35
and Sl.50 a yard. These cloaking
shortages are welcomed by garment
makers, as they have been able to
obtain asking prices for their gar
mentS.
While going through a generally
slow in-betWeen season, the wool
trade probably feels that now is as
good time as any to seek a thorough
revision of its N. r. A. code. It was
the first of the major industries to
do so. The directors of the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers
named a policy committee to overhaul
trade practices.
Makers and sellers of wool goods
have been agitating for a truth-in-
fabrics law, SO the association also
appointed a committee to survey
labelling legislation and make
thorough study of the British mer-
chandlSe marks act. with the idea
of presenting legislative proposals to
the next session of Congress, where
the Capper truth-in-fabrics bills will
come up for discussion.
The last quarter, so far as wool
goods are concerned, usually is con-
cerned with inventory taking and
Spring business. Leading mill agents
here are of the opinion that early
Spring business will be limited. They
recall that Spring buying this year
developed slowly. They also remind
thoSe too optimistic that retail de-
mand for wool goods this year has
been uniformly high, but that mills
produced far too much cloth in 1888.

LATE TONE STEADY
ON STOCK MARKET
Firm, but Other Ad'
vances Are Limited tc
Fractions.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

Associated Press FINANCIAL WTlIcI
NEW YORK, October "A mild re-
covery from yesterdays sharp decline
appeared in the stock market today.
Metals were rather firm, but improve
ment in othe. parts OF the list was
largely fractional The late tone was
steady. American Smelling, Mcintyre
and U. S. Smelling were up ] to 2
points. U. S. Steel, American Tele-
phone, Santa Fe and General Motors
ruled slightly higher. Transfers ap-
proximAted 100000 shares.
Shares of United States Smelling
got up points and American Smelt-
ing, Dome, Howe Sound and McIn-
tyre Porcupine advanced each. Gains
of around a point we're recorded by
Du Pont, Corn Products, Continental
Can and Santa Fe. General Motors,
American Telephone, Western Union,
Chrysler, Montgomery Ward, Sears
Roebuck, Case, United States Steel,
Union Pacific, New York Central and
many others we're about unchanged
to a trifle higher American Tobacco
and North American eased.
Scattered buying in the metals fol-
lowed an advance of Is Of cent an
ounce in the price of bar silver, to sos
cents, another new high since 1929.
This indicated to some that the Treas
ury was maintaining its silver buying
abroad despite the recent protest of
China
Mature consideration of the presi-
dental "fireside" address brought
more optimistic interpretations in
financial quarters. The apparent in
clination of both labor and industrial
leaders to go along with the President
in his plea for an armistice was viewed
as highly constructive.
The foreign exchange situation con-
tinued to hold the attention of the
banking sector. With bar gold in
London soaring to the highest mark in
English history-142 shillings 2l2
pence a fine ounce-the belief was
growing that, notwithstanding inter
mittent rallies of sterling, this cur
rency is apparently pointed toward its
old dollar parity of s4862a.
The thinness of the present equities
market led some brokers to refer to it
as shopping market" On an order
to buy or sell 1000 shares of leading
issues within reasonable limits, it was
said, it frequently required an hour
or so to complete the transaction.

GOLD PRICE SETS
RECORD At LONDON
Dollar Continues to Move
Nearer to Old Point;
Closes at 4.9212.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. October 2-The United
States dollar today moved a fraction
nearer its old sterling parity of 48623
to the pound, closing at 492l4 in a
day which saw the price OF bar gold
soar to the highest mark in history
under the influence of the weakened
pound
After opening at 4903i, the close
was 3l4 cents to the pound better
than the overnight rate of 495l2.
TIE price of bar gold was fixed at
l42 shillings 2l2 pence (s3489) a fine
ounce.
The French franc gained slightly
over yesterday, closing at 7425 to the
pound, as compared to yesterdays
close Of 1892.
Market operators said they believed
that the demand for dollars to settle
commercial accounts, including sea-
Sonal goods like cotton and tobacco.
largely accounted for the strength of
the dollar against sterling,
In addition. there were further
signs of increased speculative activity
on the market, coupled with the
operations of Continental short trad
erS who were covering.
As far as market operators could
determine, there was no indication
that the British equalization fund
was concerned with the dealings.
The gold price took an overnight
jump of 8l2 pence a fine ounce.

ROLE Of BRITISH
BANKS STUDIED
Hold Much Smaller Part of
National Debt Than u. S.
Institutions.
BY W. r. HUFF,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

associated freSS flnancldl writer
NEW YORK. October 2-Bankers
here were particularly interested in
the reference in President Roosevelt's
fireside talk TO the Nation Sunday
night to the aid extended by British
banks to their government in Eng
lands struggle with depression.
1t was assumed the President re-
ferred especially to the brilliant sue
cess of the British treasury in refund
ing its $4,000, 100000 war loan early
in 1882. Holders of the per cent war
loan bonds responded with unexpected
unanimity to the treasury's offer of
312 per cent bonds in exchange.
Another feature of the part played
by the British banks in the fight
against depression was their increase
in investments between the end of
1881 and the middle of 1882. This
was partly involuntary, it is pointed
out, since the liquidation Of loans and
the low level of short-term money
rates compelled British banks to seek
bonds for employment of their assets.
Since the British national debt was
virtually static during this period,
yields on government securities natu-
rally declined, lending strength to other
bonds and paving the way for a re-
vival of capital fiotations, especially
for refunding many corporation issues
on a lower interest basis
British banks, it is estimated, hold
less than 10 per cent of the national
debt
American banks, on the other hand,
hold nearly 40 per cent of the Govern
ment's debt. The weekly reporting
member banks, which might be con-
sidered as roughly comparable in
scope to the London clearance banks,
held s6600,000000 of Government
securities on September 19, or almost
25 per cent of the national debt of
$4,000, 100000. A year ago, they held
about % per cent of the national debt.
