CONTINUETO HOLD ALOOF
Money Contlnued Easy Throughout tho
Weok, Although Banks Are Losing
to Sub-Treasury?Venezuelan
Affalr Had Little Influence.
(Speclnl to The Tlmen-Dlapntoh.)
NEW YORK, Februnry 7.-<The Flnan
olal Age. in Its weekly rovlcw, says:
Tho changes that occurred ln tho slt?
uatlon laat week wero of a favorablo
Choroctcr, and ns such were generally
appreclated in stock market quarters,
where thero waa a notlceablo Improvc
tnent ln speculatlve sontlment. Thls fccl
lng ot oonfldenco as reflected ln stoek
inarkot oporatlons was not sharcd In
by the general publlc, who havo perslst
ently refuaed to lond tholr support to
an olevatlon of values. Favorable ond
unfavorablo developments havo nllko been
treated wlth an lndlfforonce that ls as
?unpreoedentod as It is dlsappolntliig to
brokers who havo predlctcd ench woek
-that outsldo Interest would soon be
awakoned. Thls apathy, wlilch has been
the subject of much comment ln flnan
clal clrcles, connot occure.tely "bo in
terpreted as an evldenco of a lack of
con^ldence In Hho prevaillng condltlons
ln tbe commerclal world. It ls more
loglcal to supposo that past experiences
in Uie stock market have tnughl Uie
publlc that the very condltlons ithnt are
indlcatlve of rlsing values are not safe
guides to follow in tho matter of speou
ai'he" volume of buslness transacted on
the Siock Exchange lost week showed,
that the aboVc noted apathy on the part
of the public did npt extend to the ranks
of the larger operators. who took ad
vantago of tlie low prlces of dlvldend
paylng railrond and Industrlnl Issuos
to further Incroase thelr holdings.
Money contlnued very easy, and no at?
tentlon was pald to the fact that tho
banks aro losing largely to the Sub
treasury, although they contlnuo to gain
from tlie interlor In somewhat dlmlnish
od volume. But tlio money mar?
ket has, for the tlme belng, ceased
to be a cause of worry ln flniincial clr
cies.
WITHOUTT EFFBCT.
The annonnccment of proposed action
of the New York Clearlng House to
compel the trust companles clearlng
through Clearlng House banks to keep
cash reserves which on and after J uno
lst shall iiiiiount to 5 per cent. of all
thelr tieposlts, and whlch lt ls intended
shall eventually bo Increased to 15 per
cent., as required of the State banks,
was the most Important flnanclal news
of the weok, although It had absolutely
no et'fect upon the stock market. Thls
action wlll undoubtedly tend to strength
en the flnanclal sltuatlon, although tho
oplnlon has been advanced that In times
of strlngency ln the monoy market tho
reserve whlch trust companles wlll bo
compelled to malntaln ln thelr vaults
wlll be an Important faetor ln keeplng
up money rates and in lncreaslng the
strlngency in loanahle funds. Inasmuch
as trust companles wlll have ample tlmo
to prepare for the lnauguratlon of the
new system, whlch wlll occur on Juno
lst, prcdictlons of thls sort appear to
bo somewhat prcmature.' Whllo the pro
poSiVl action of tho Clearlng House au
thorltles wlll necessarlly entail the re
tlrement of a cortnin amount of avall
able funds, the added socurity thus in
sured to depositors and to flnanclal In?
terests generally wlll moro than coun
terbalance thls effect, and Is far prefer
able to the greater elostlclty and frec
dom ln extcndlng credlt whlch the trust
companles have enjoyod under the pres?
ent system.
The advance in sterllng exchange
brought that pnase of the sltuatlon In
for greatcr discusslon, although thoro
seoms to ho not tho remotest possiblllty
that the rlse in exchange will lnvolve
exports of gold.
ANTl-TRUST BILL.
Senator Elkins' nntl-trust measure,
whlch last woek passed the Senato wlth?
out debate, is regarded as by fnr the
most favorable blll relatlng to the reg
ulatton of corporatlons that hus conio
before the national leglslatlve body dur?
lng tho present sesslon. its principal
features, whlch we have prevlously de?
scrlbed at conslderablc length, nre fnr
Jess drastic than tho provlslons of the
Houso measure, and aro generally ac
ceptable to tho eorporate Interests, -who
take tlie senslblo vlew that as antl
trust leglslallon of some sort seenris in
ovitable, tt ls the part of wlsdom not
to opposo conservatlvo leglslatlon, such
as ls contemplated ln the Elkins bill.
Despite the doubt rcgardlng an early
Bettlenient of the Venezuelan Imbrogllo,
thls subject ls not given nearly as much
conslderatlon ns it recelved several
weeks ago, and the falluro of tho Pow
crs to agrep to Mr. Bowen's proposal
ereated but passlng comment in
Wall Street, where confldonce ls express
wl thnt tho iiffnlr has passed the stage
where thoro Is any danger of the United
States becoming lnvolved. In Its most
acute stage the nffalr was nnt entlthd
Jo the conslderatlon it recelved, and ns
has been frequently pointed out ln those
ffiW"! '.l Y?? merbly a bear argument
that;had but the sllghtest beanlng upon
the future of the situntion.

THOUSANDS HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED
Many Take Advantage of the
Attractive Offer of the
Memorlal Hospital,
At a reccnt meeting of the Board of
Dlrectors of tho Memorlal Hospital def
Inlte plans for the extenslon of the me?
morlal Idea wero declded upon. lt has
heretofore been tlie custom ln local hos
pltals to dedlcato rooms by equlpplng
them. To perpetuate such a memorlal
lt ls necessary for tho donor to renew
tho equlpment from year to year, as It
wears out. Unless a sufllclcnt annulty
is provlded at the death of tho donor
of such a memorlal for Its malntenance
tho memorlal must under this plan end
when Its malntcnanco ceascs; and even
when such annulty Is provlded tho fact
that wear necessltates tho renewal of
eiiuipment cnnies wlth It unavoldably tlie
Idea of translency, whlch necessarlly
attaches to the memorlal Itself.
Wlshlng to make the memorlals ln the
riew hospital pernia-nent ln character, tho
board h.xs adopted a dlfferent plan. In
estimatlng the actual cost of bullding
the hospital, it haa been found that each
word. of whlch thero aro slx, repre
sents an expcndlture of $5,000, and that
each of the forty prlvato rooms cost
$1,000 to construct. The actual bullding
of a room or ward ls a thlng of per
manency, wlthout chaiige of any klnd ln
fact or In suggestlon. The board offers,
for the actual cost of constructlon tho
prlvllego of dedleatlng a room or ward
as a permancnt memorlal, the tablet of
dedlcatlon reading: "Thls room was
bulit as a memorlal, etc." The hospi?
tal undertakes then tho malntenance of
equlpment. and the one payment by the
donor ends the transaction, wlth no an
nultles to p.xy or provide for.
Although the board, In carrylng out
the Idea of a memorlal hospital, have
adopted tho foregolng plan, they wlll
gladly recelve contrlbutlons of any
amount In order that the Interest nnd in
fluence of the hospital may be general.
Durlng tho past week contrlbutlons
amountlng to over $14,000 havo been re?
celved, as follows:
To dedlcate one memorlal ward..? 5,000
To dedlcate seven memorlal rooms 7,000
Smaller contrlbutlons ln sums
from $3 to $500. 2,005
Tho amount ralsed by the establlsh**
mcnt of memorlals and by contrlbutlons
wlll ho nsed to complete the equlpment
nnd furnlshlng of the hospital and after
thls ls provlded for the remainder wlll be
nddnd lo tho ondowment fund, by whlch
cb/irlty patlcnts wlll bo malntnlned.
Contrlbutlons may be sent to Mr. F.
