An un- successful effort was made by Stephens of Texas to eliminate the provision for continuing the Dawes commission an- other year. An amendment by Little of Arkan- sas was adopted removing the re- strictions‘on the sale or lease of lands {of all allotments of the five civilized tribes of the Indian Territory who | are not of Indian blood except the re- strictions on the homestead.

The net increase in the | cash reserve was $961,500, or $2,041.400 less than the amount of gain \Vhiuhj was estimated on the basis of the trgce- | | able movements of money during the weelk. Some. discrepancy between the esti- mates and the officially reported in-| create was looked for, but so great a difference as that shown was somewhat | rprising. It may have been due, how- rations for compliance with the treas- | ury call for the surrender of public de- posits, or, what'seems to be more rea- | to remittances for the retirement of bank notes for the account of corre- spondents and to withdrawals of $1,250,- 000 gold for shipment to Buenos Ayres. | If the latter was one of the causes the amount withdrawn would count for but one day' in the aveérages. The deposits were increased by $12,- 673,400, which is greater by $2,007,600 {than the sum of the net gain in cash and of the increase in loans, therefore the statement does not balance. The increase in required reserves due to the augmented deposits was $3,168,350. De- ducting therefrom the net gain in cash leaves $2,206,850 as the reduction in sur- plus ‘reserve to $29,943,350. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $39,137,200 public funds, the surplus is $39,727,650. The Government deposits were in- creased by $375,300, making the gain since February 6 $2,243,900. The circula- tion was decreased $1,049,800, and the reduction in this item since the begin- Loans expanded by $9,709,300, probably reflecting the hypothecation of sterling exchange, which has been bought for dicate or corporation borrowings. —_—— STREETCAR CONDUCTOR ADMITS BIGAMY CHARGE Astounds New Jersey Judge by An- nouncing That He Had Been Mar- ried About Forty-Seven Times.

STOCK MARKET - HAS A RELAPSE Small Gains Disappear Un- i der Influence of Expeeted Northern Securities Ruling s NEW YORK, March 5.—The stock | market came under the influence of an | expected Northern Securities decision on Monday and lost more of the small | sains which had been established by | the slow and laborious hardening move- | ment of the whole of the week up to | to-day. The market closed easy and at | declines running to.a point in a number { of the nrominent stocks. | The volume of lquidation was unim- | portant ana indicated nothing more | than traders’ nositions in the market, !but the imnelling motive was clear | enough and was corroborated by the | weakness of Northern Securities itself jon the curb. The bank statement was | | | | without any influence. The increase in cash wad slightly less than expected, ! but the fact that there was an increase at all Is evidence of the continued ten- dency toward congestion of reserves. The loan exransion was viewed with equanimity in view of the condition of | the reserves, notwithstanding that the loan item establishes a new high rec- | ora again, with an aggregate for the | ciearing-house banks within $82,000 of a | round $1,000,000,000. *This is sunposed to { reflect renewed corporation borrowing, | including the $5.000,000 taken by the | New York Central and the same amount | by the Burlington. The fact that the i latter was nlaced in Chicago would not | prevent its reflection in the New York | showing. | Railroads reporting gross earnings for the fourth® week in February show some increases over the similar period of last vear, but the additional day in February of this vear, which figures in | the showing, distorts the comparison. Foreign influences were against the market, London being confronted with a mining settiement next week, just | after emergifig from the strain of the | Paris settlement this week. Consols as a consequence tcuched a new low rec- ord in London to-day for the move- ment. Total sales of bonds $940,000. The deadlock in the security market bas been unrelieved this week. Buyers and sellers desist from activity, and the result is an almost motionless mar- | ket, which is the despair of the trading element and also of the brokerage ele- ment, which looks to commissions for its business profits. The market is hard and free from |\ pressure, but the mainfenance of prices fails to invite any absorntion of stocks. | The behavior of individual stocks un- der an occasional attéempt to liquidate . a small amount occasions a dread that the firmness is partly illusory. The lethargy is the more notable in view | of the accumulation of reserves in the 'bcnh and the nominal rates at which call money is loaned. The shrinkage in domestic bank clear- ings and the deduction to be drawn as | to decrease in business activity is a factor in the current ease of money, which devrives that fact of its power for reassurance to speculative senti-| ment. The heavy fall in net earnings of railroa reporting for Janua gives additional force to the considera- tion of the business outlook. It is not expected that any develonpment will ef- fectually release the stock market from | its constraint until the Northern Secu- rities decision is handed down. The bond market has shared the apa- | thy of the stock market.
