' 5BS2C5IWI01 5GG PER JEQKTB I NUMBER 254 HENRY CLEWS' LETTER SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN THE MONEY MARKET LAST WEEK Large Increase of Imports Over Ex ports, However. Is Unfavorable. Dig Russian Loan Will Affect the Money Market. Now York, Oct. 2 (Special) The money market Iihh shown a sllgnt Im provement (hiring the past woek and somowhnt caster loaning rates pre vailed. Whether tills was thoresultot slackening in demaud or a partial re turn of Hindu from the Interior la not yet disclosed. Requirements for mov ing the wheat crop should soon be satisfied but funds released on Oils account will again bo promptly re quired for .moving tho corn and cot ton crops, which this year will ab Horb a largei amount Uian usual; so no Immodlnle relief can be depended upon In Uils quarter. The most unsat isfactory feature In the monetary outlook la the continued firmness of foreign exchange and tho probability of gold cxiKirU. Several conditions fa vor an etllux of the precious metal: First, tho tendency of our Interna tional trade balance continues unfa vorable In Soptembcr our imports showed an Increase of nearly $18,000, 000, while our exports showed a gain of less than $2,000,000. This great In crease In exports was the natural se quence or our remarkable lndiisrlal activity, tho bulk of the gain being In raw materials or those only par tially manufactured, Intended to sat isfy the unusual demnnds of consum ers. Our exports are large, but their growth Is not sufficient to offsot ex pansion In the Imports, especially aR the high pi Ices of commodities gen erally tend to dlscourugo tho outward movement. This Is especially true of cotton, the backward movement oi which has nut yet been offset by tho frco outward movement of grain. An other Important factor In tho ox change market Is the fact that our banks still have on deposit a largo amount of Jnpaneso funds subject to call at any time. Still another element in the situation Is tho weak ness of tho Hank of Eng land and tho Hank of Germany in face of tho heavy prospective Russian loan. Tho bulk of this Issuo will, of course, bo placed In Europe, Franco being In a particularly favorablo con dition to make subscriptions. Tho amount of the loan Is estimated at $200,000,000, and it Is expected that fully one-nalf of this will bo raised In France, which is not only favora bly disposed to Russian investments, but has a large accumulation of idlo capital awaiting employment. Germa ny, England and Holland may also subscribe qulto frooly. While It Is not probable that a Russian loan would receive popular support in this market, it is quite possible that Amer ican syndicates may bo found to par tlcinntn m tho loan for tho (take nt tlio profits In tho transaction. Our ! cankers nave already on several occa sions taken a good sharo of foreign loans, and oxperlenco shows that they have usually resold them more prof itably abroad than was possible nt home. It Is evident, therefore, that tho lo cal monetary situation requires watch ing. Our bankers may bo depended up on to keep tho situation as comforta ble as they can, but there aro so many elements to bo considered, somo of them beyond their control, that the cullook Is exceedlgly uncer-! tain, Our general business situation con tinues promising. Tho chief danger ahead Is that of cxccssivo specula-' tlonj high pr!co3 and prospects of continued activity arising from the . great prosperity of tho Interior bo-1 lug exceedingly powerful stimulants. It will requlro nil tho foresight and , self denial which our bankers and business men can oxerclso to prevent tho country from running Into a ca reer of reckless speculation. Tho Hank of England did not ad- Jvnncc Its rato last Thursday, but It did make a very unfavorable showing I about the weakest ono slnco 1890,' pho year of tho Harlng panic. Tho jmoncy and political situations in Eii trope nro not favorablo to a bull mar- flfpt 1inrn tnat now. Thn advance In Sterling exchange to almost tho ship-' ping point is in itself a sufficient nr Bument ngalnst It,. Independent of tho revolutionary movemont In Ruasla, ' which Is o very serious matter and Should certnlnly have tho effect ot interfering with tho success of tho lusslan loan, especially under the threat of tho peoplo that tho loan would bo repudiated if issued with 3ut tho content of tho Assembly. This should not bo unheeded . Tho outlook In Russia la that thero will bo no permanent penco In that coun try until tho peoplo aro granted a constitution by tho czar. Tho strikes there really moan that, and tho tem per provnlllng throughout that nation would seem to Indlcato that tho car would have to glvo way to tho de mand or run tho risk of being de throned. Nothing better could happen or tho nation, or lor mo people, man ho latter, and the substitution of a opubllcan form oi government in laco of tho present tyrranicat ana utocratlc one, which tho advance- cnt In fnvor of human ngnis an vcr tho world has certainly out grown.

TO PENSION WORKMEN FORMER TREASURE OFFICIAL ADVOCATES SCHEME. He Says All Great Powers Except the United States Now Pension Workmen, and Employers Are Benefited Good Results. Chicago, Oct. 30. In an addross beforo tho Commercial Club last night Frank A. Vandeiilp of New York, formei assistant secretary ot tho treasury, advocated working men's pensions, saying, among othor things: "With fie exception of tho United States nil great Kwers of tho civil ized world pension their servants. Where the greatest- progress has been made for tho welfaro of tho orklngni"n Is In Germany. There the emplojers contributed one-third ami tho worklngiucn two-thirds.

I CoiitrnMi-il 'I'ip. The outspoken romance of tho Ger- ( man Is sometimes trying to those of a different habit. The author of the trav- j ellng notes called "From u Holiday Journal" describe a young girl whom h!ic met at a (Ionium bath, a pretty. doll-llk creature, tmnied Murlc, who knew how to tdt Mill and do nothing nil day long. . Presently It was discovered that Ma-; He hilil u lover. She ilWcln-ed the fact ImUUj. i "My Imiutigaiii N young. Iinnibome, rich," she nld proudly, looking up to u tall KnglMi girl of seventeen.

"Oh, I love my treasure oI I love him so!" The EuglUh gill shuddered and blushed to the roots of her hair. The woids had been distinctly spoken and hail evidently proved very amusing lo a party of English In the vicinity. "Ob." she implored, "would you mind saving 'like' Instead of 'love' next time?

Big Republican Paper Says We Should Get Together and Satisfy Con gress That Joint Statehood Is Wanted. The LMrMgo Tribune, probably the most Influential republican paper in the United States today, closes an ed itorial on "The Four Territories" with these words: "The opposition In con gress can longer postpone statehood only if It Is alriod and abetted by a misguided faction of those on whom It Is proposed that the lienellts ot statehood Bhall be conferred." Who t.ie Tribune refers to as tho "mis Jiui'lcri taction" Is made sufficiently clear by these words: "An active propaganda against joint slstehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory is being carried on In the latter by pol iticians and promoters who would proiit by the continuance or presont conditions." The Tribune might have been still more specific and named Ilnskell, Owen. Thonms and Rutherford as ii'c "active propagandas." Those Ju.it named estlmnble gentlemen and the smaller citizens who, somo mis guldedly. seme with n full knowledge of what they aro doing.trull nlong in their wake, answer the criticisms of tho territory press that they are ob structing statehood by the argument ili-it wo are nil of ti3 subsidized by the railroads nnd the Oklahoma poll-.-'ans, and are seeking only to devour Hie subst-mcc of the poor lndlnti. Hut what can they say of the Tribune? Has It too been subsidized? At least Mr. Haskell cannot accuse It of lack Of ability, for measured by his stand crd of ability, money, It has far more ability, mnnj more millions, than ho dn'-s, or rcr will pi.r.scss. The Tribune speaks with authority and In thn snmo strains President Roosevelt, Senator Ileverldgo and Sneaker Cannon do when It says: "There Is little question that If tho nenplo of the territories show clear ly that they want to come In mulct the house bill they will be admitted at tho coming session. Hut tho sen timent of the nation Is overwhelming Incly ngalpM. creating more than two states out of the four territories at the present time, nnd It is desirable ihelr peonle should understand that unless they come In under n niensure providing' for two states there Is not Hie slightest probability hat they will come In nt all for an Indefinite prlod. The opposition in congress can longer postpone statehood only If It Is. aided nnd abetted by a mlsgnlil ed faction of those on whom It Is postponed thnt the benefits of state hood shall be conferred." So, aconllng to the Tribune. It's up to us. Do we really want statehood, the only k.nd there Is nny probabil ity congress and tho president will give or shall we follow Promoter Has kell and his Sequoyah chimera about In the weary wilds of present terri torial conditions for years to eomo ' "ving aside for tho moment all con sideration c? v at kind of statehood we prefer, we must all answer this one question: Do we really want statehood or shall wo do our best to defeat statehood by working for some thing wo have been told over and over again wc cannot have? If we want a continuation of the presont territorial conditions and If wo want to help nlong Mr. Haskell's townslto and railroad projects wo ought by all means to po to the "polls" on Novem ber "7 and vote for this Sequoyah ab surdity. If, however, wo aro sincere In our desire for statehood, let us on thnt day remain quietly nt home, nnd let us ths winter concentrate our united and most powerful efforts on tho task of persuading eongresn to pn?s a slnplc statehood bill, since there Is not tlio 'slightest probability' that any other kind of a bill by any possibility be passed.
