Til' short Term I notes have not been taken so freely on the r,;!i«r ■•Iri- a- at one time expected. Moderate amounts, however, have been sent across; and It remains to be seep how far these have been offset by the return of securities abroad. Foreign mar kets exhibit a dis.tfnctiy pessitnistic tone regarding American securities and have been sellers to a moderate rxtent. There has also been a return of securities, shipped abroad a few month* ago as col lateral for loans transferred back to this side. Currency should be returning from the Interior with more freedom, but local bank reserves are much lower than for many yrars at thi* time, and the loan market Is in no condition to stand any acute strain. Some assistance can be ob tained from the Treasury in case of ne cessity. but that is not required at the moment. The entire monetary out look is Mill one tint sitgees-- great ean- tinn and conservatism. Only by such, a course ean we avoid unpieasant con sequences. Liquidation thus far ha* beep accomplished without serious results and has proved distinctly beneficial. The market today is In a much sounder con dition than three months ago. Specu lative sentiment Is more evenly divided and conditions are favorable for a healthy trading market. It would be imprudent, however, to look for any pronounced ad vance over present rally. Force,j liqui dation has probably run its course for the present, but the tendencies or the times are against such largo profits in either transportation or industriaJ circles as I hare been experienced during the last two op three years. If these are to di ininlsli. as seems uulte possible, ntor liquidation in securities will follow-, the moment, however, tile declining ten dency shows a li4lt. and this week's up ward reaction was atnnly justified.

This ship railway, while it will be a rival of the Panama Canal when the big ditch be colnes a reality, ts barked by the Mex ican Government, and is’expeeted to work wonders In the way of developing the commerce between the Pacific and At lantls coasts of this country. Incidentally the creation of this new trade route ha: stimulated the whole scheme of rivers and harbors development—a policy which the United States now seems pledged, in an effort to care for the vap idly growing commerce of the oountry. The Tehuantepec route will save s‘,000 miles on the journev from New Orleans to Fan Francisco. 10.OS6 miles from New York to_San Francisco via Cape Horn and 1,367 miles via the Panama Canal. The saving in mileage between European ports and San Francisco is as remarka ble; this saving being 8.500 miles between Liverpool and the metropolis of the Pa cific coast, via the Cape of Good Hope. In the trade from Now York to Yokoha ma It will save 10.000 miles via Cape Horn or 5,000 miles via Suez. Between New York and Manila the saving will lie 1.168 miles over the present route via. Eucz.

According to ad vices received here. President Diaz and hi* entire staff attended the opening of this big enterprise, one which has been the dream of Mexico for the last four cen turies. The establishment of this coast-to-coast service lias brought forcibly home to Con gress the necessity for a most vigorous campaign in the development of the coast harbors of this country and the interior waterways. Despite the demands made by the National Rivers and Harbors Con gress. which forsthe last five years lias been urging the Federal Government to appropriate $50.A0n,0nn annually for ihe prosecution of development work. Con gress has believed that this work need not be pushed any more rapidly than the work on the Panama Canal, tile tlicow being that the waterways of (he country might he in readiness to rare for tha Increased shipping when the big ditch ■was done. The opening of the Tebnun- tepec route has caught the country nap ping, and it is highly probable that ag gressive English.

Congressman Joseph E.-Ransdell.- pres ident of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, is pointing out that while the present bill carries upwards of JS3.O00.- 000 for waterways improvements, never theless not more than $34,000,000 Is imme diately available In cash.

Cobb, of the Geor gia Supreme Court delivered recently a lecture before the students of tho j Department of Agriculture of the State University upon tho "law of the farm.” It is issued as a University bulletin, and is for’distribution. It ought to be in the hands of every farmer in the State. The lecture summarizes the laws of the State which hear directly upon tha farming interests. For instance, it treats of boundaries, fences, criminal trespass, overhanging trees, private ways, damages arising front defects in a highway, the farmer and his labor, landlord and tenant, landlord and crop per. sale of crops, manure, damage by fire, anima.s. water rights, game, lish and birds. For instance, under the tast heading, the game laws are stated in brief as follows: It is unlawful to kill or capture wild turkeys, pheasants, partridges and quail between March 13 and November 1: doves, marsh hens and snipe be tween March 15 and September 1: summer or wood duck and woodcock between February 1 and September 1. It is also unlawful to take or destroy the eggs of-such birds during these dates. AA’iid deer or fawn must not.be killed or captured between. January 1 and September 1. It is unlawful to sell, offer for sale, or have in possession any of the birds or animals, either alive or dead, or any part of the same, during the season that the killing or capture of the same is prohibited. The killing or capturing of any such birds or animals for sale is only per mitted on one’s own land, and then only after obtaining a license from tha ordinary upon the payment of $25 each year to the county treasurer. More than forty doves must not be killed by one person in any one day. Partridges and quail hust not be netted or trapped except on one’s own premises. The shipping of such birds beyond the limits of the State is pro hibited at ail seasons. It is unlawful to place in any stream any poisonous substance which will drive away or poison fish. The taking of fish with seine, net, gig. spear, or like device, between Feb ruary I and July 1, is prohibited. This Hon. E. M. Donalson. of Bainbridge, was in the city yesterday.

Two of the most magnificent buildings in the country are being put up by the national Government for the exclusive use of Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress. Each will oc cupy a block and will cost $2,500,000. One of the twin structures will be for the House, the other for the Senate, and they will form detached wings to the capitol. Heretofore the Congressmen have had no regular offices, each has had his headquarters in whatever place pleased him most. There has been no system about ihe accommodation*. Now each branch of Congress will have a handsome office building, with uniformed attendants, a postoffice and telephone and telegraph service. Tile southern building, for the House, will have 429 rooms, one for every one of tlie 410 Representatives and nineteen for future growth in the membership. On account of their smaller number the Senators, in the northern building, will get the better of the bargain in the matter of space, every Senator having a room for him-’ self, one for his secretary, and a bath room. In designing these Congressional of fices the architects put particular em phasis upon safety from fire, and the specifications call for 230.000 square feet of terra cotta hollow tile for tire building. Though only four stories high, each of them will have as great a quantity of hollow tile brick in it as many a skyscraper the height of which makes fire-proofing an absolute nece.ssi!y. Thus, while the character of Wash ington architecture demands that the buildings be low, they are made just as safe as if they were high. Fire will have no chance against them.
