Loughton Thayer Smith, the nine- jyear-old son of the warring Mr. Arthur +J. and Mrs. Florence Thayer Smith, “took matters in his own hands to-day “by running away from his father’s home, No. 110 Prospectt Park West, ‘Brooklyn. He boarded a Seventh ave- nue car and went to seek his mother at the St. George Hotel. Hardly had he got aboard the car when « .servent of Mr. Smith came tearing down the street after hom. [he conductor stopped the car and fespite the cries of the boy to be al- jowed to xo to his mother, re was taken back to his father’s house, A lively battle between husband and wife for the possession of their child stpmaed no little excitement in the Penn- wPivania Railroad Station, Jersey City. yesterday. The mother had oon- cenlet her nine-yearold @on in « telephone booth, and it was not until both she and her husband were threat- qnea with arrest that she revealed his Aiding place.

An-| nouncement that Seoretary Shaw had|{) B issued his notice to the banks that he would call upon them in about ten days for money with whioh to make payments to Panama and for other Canal requirements, failed to cause even a flurry in the money market. It 1s curious that two Standard Oil banks hold abcut half of the Govern- ment deposits in this city, For instance the total deposits amount to $38,890,000, while the National City holds of this 13,000,000 and the Hanover National 9,200,000, The National Bank of Com- merce, the Morgan bank, holds about $7,000,000. It ts easy to see why Mr, Morgan and Mr. ‘Washington to try to prevent this call. ‘The banks will not lose much , ae Mr. Shaw explained that the whole thing is but a matter of bookkeeping. After a weak opening stocks declined still further, but at noon there was some good buying by the Standard Oil crowd, which rallied the whole market. ‘The best of this buying was in the Steel issues and the praferred sold to 567-8 and the common within the smallest fraction of ll. The atrength in these issues with that of Atchison and Union Pacific, on which there are strong bull Ups, also helped the Het. It ts said that both of these issues will be put above par in a short time. There waa some selling of St. Paul, which looked very muoh like Keene dealing. It is estimated that the rights of Delaware & Hudson are worth a shade under 6 per cent, Some disap- pointment was expressed that the issue price had been fixed at 185, as many think 180 i# quite high enough. The stock sold off, as this is hardly a time to hesitate about offering good induce- ments to new capital. The early weakness of Atchison was ue to the report that the plans to list the stock in Berlin had fallen through.
