The remaining amount include aa Increase or 6.408,560 cubic yards over the estimate made In September, 1908. This Increase 18 due to widening the canal north of Pedro Miguel lock ao aa to form a basin, adding thereby 932,573 cubic yards, and to allowing 5,475,988 cubic yards, and to allowing C.473.988 cubic yards of elides und breaks, as a number of new ones developed during the year and could noi be foreseen when the estimate of September, 1903. was made. Tho total amount of material removed from all slides and breaks in the Central division during the fiscal year amounted to 2,649,563 cubic yards, or about 15 per cent, of the amount removed from the Culebra cut. In the Pacific division also, the work of excavating was seriously hampered by landslides. ' When the excavation was nearly completed on the lock sites at Pedro Miguel, two slides occurred on the last side, delaying the work and Increasing the amount to be removed by 75.299 cubic jrards of rock and earth. The , total amount of excavation during the year was 27,933 cubic yards by steam anoveis, and Co.&ia cubic yards oy hand, of which 44,948 cubic yards were classed as preparing foundations. Excavation proper was done at an average cost of $1,188 per cubic yard, Including plant charges and division expenses. Work rt Miraf lores.

Laborers recruited during the' year aggregated 2.519; all wero West Indians, the larger part of them from Barbadoh. The last ' recruiting "was done In January, 1910, since which dato Immigration has exceeded emi gration, and, as the work has reach Ita maximum, the present population of the Zone furnishes an ample labor supply. There has always been an Independent Immigration from the West Indian Island, but It was not until within tho last four months that , there has been any such movement on ' the' part of the Kuropcan laborers. During this period, however, 2.000 have come of their own volition from 8paln and Italy From the beginning of the fiscal year there was a steady Increase In the force until a maximum 38.676 was reached on March 30. 1910, Including the Panama railroad company and the relocation, and is the largest force on record. Since that time there has been a slight decrease, but the total effective force on June 30. was 35,578. as compared with 33,43 on June 3, 1909. ' New quarters constructed during the year consisted of 19 houses for carried employes, accommodating 38 fasllles.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS
(Pulladlum Spoclul) New York. Nov. 21.- In 'spite of, dullness a stronger undertone appears to be developing on the Stoch Exchange. This is purtly due to a clearing of the political outlook by the elections, to tho encouragement afforded by a big , , " 11" " V.,," IUU mil!! HLttis VUiiiixiei (. e uujiuiooiuu agreeing to a fair advance in railroad rates to offset the Increased wages to meet the demands made upon them tA liofl riaOTI fl fAAH l AO I 4TT IT n. . - - , ' oautnfnn on'in? to a Rtrampn creait siijuation, as emphasized by a continued excess of loans over deposits. The fcituatiou, however, Is gradually I ra or mai puriiuae are aiicau ucglnnin? to return to this point. The lower price of corn has induced some farmers to hold for a higher price and compelled others to Invest more freely nnc, v .... uv . tened at the present price, of that staple. Such operations cf course took ui considerable money. The Western situation, however, is gradually working out its own solution, and bank returns made in response to the last call show a better situation than was expected. In the east it is believed that tho period of greatest strain has been Bafely passed. In London and Paris easier conditions also prevail, so that the improvement in monetary conditions is practically world-wide. Many capital applications have re cently been postponed owing to un favorable conditions, but the more favorable monetary outlook renders it probable that more or less new financing will be taken up in January, If not sooner. Some of our great corporations, are absolutely in need of fund3 to complete enterprises allready under way, and so long as they are willing and able to meet money market conditions the probability is that issues within reasonable amounts can be readily placed. In October and November the output of new securities was much below previous years, a fact which should assist the investment market in December and ' January. There are also some signs of improvement in the bond market and with the January disbursements not far distant it is expected that there will be a somewhat better inquiry for this class of investments. Several important new Issues are under consideration., including $50,000,000 New York City bonds. Two or three railroad loans nave already been announced and others will follow. It Is probable the knowledge that these new issues must be placed, also a recognition of betterment in ' intrinsic conditions, has induced some of our strongest bankers to take more hopeful views regarding the future. The strength of the market during the last few weeks has certainly been artificial, and could not be attributed to either investment operations or public buying of stocks for speculative purposes. There la still an important contingent on the market who believe the situation would be more substantial If prices had not been forced to such an artificial level. The Improvement in monetary conditions is not confined to New York, but is reflected In other foreign markets. Paris, shows the most comfortable position of any point. Exchange on that point declined to a point where geld could have been shipped ft a profit to New York, except that P:ris insisted upon a premium for the precious metal. Paris, it is worthy cf note, is showing more kindly Interest in American securities, and the question of listing some of our first class rbres is being considered.A development of considerable importance 4a the changed drift in our foreign trade, exports continuing to expand while Imports correspondingly shrink, thus tending to restoration of the normal excess mt aaanru.

tobcr our exports of merchandise aggregated $208,000,000, the largest October cn record, and more than 87,000,000 in excess of last year. This increase was largely due to the rushing forward of cotton pending the bill cf lading dispute. During the same mcnth our importations were be'low 1124.000,000. a loss of nearly $4,OOO.COO compared vith a year ago. Declining prices end lessened trcde activity of courte, explain the shrinkage in Imports. The net result of our foreign trade for the month wa3 an excess of exports amounting to $81,000,000. compared with $73,000,000 a year ago and .$70,000,000 in 190S. k . .. . : inis lenaency, u continued win rap-1 ui.. j i iuiy restore our roreign iraac reia - tlons to a normal basis and make ! imports of gold possible at the toraary season.

Doney, it is said, was arrested primarily fcr the purpc3e , of being induced to give evidence which would incrimi nate his brother, George Doney, who J lis now in parts unknown.

iPARTOIl ASSAULT
CASE HEARS EtiD Defense Alleges Accused Did Not Come to Cambridge From Milton. The case of the State against . Al Paitcn of New Castle, charecd witli assault and battery with Intent to mur der Marshal Doe Drischcl, of Cam bridge City, was resumed in the circuit court on Monday morning and it was thought that jury would receive the case late tnH afternoon. The argurj?ct3 were started on Monday afternoon. Two tours were allowed to eac'j side. ' Much deiKinded on the success of the defense to convince the jurors that Parton and two companions were net in Miltcn on the night of the as sault. They were trying to prove that Drischel was largely respousioie lor Parton's attack dn him while drunk. Details of the Case. According to witnesses for the State. Parton and his crowd got eff at milton and caught the "dinky" car to Cambridge City, and while on it. Parton is aileged to have instated a woman by the - name of Turner. ,S!ie complained to the authorities at Cam bridge City. The marshal sa w Par ton and his two companions on Jons I street, ami.. because Parton was the largest, arrestee him. This was not i accomplished until after Parton., had j cut him severely. i The defense claimed that it would fceve been impossible for Farton and his friends to have arrived in Milton in time to catch the 9 o'clock car from Milton to Cambridge. There were several witnesses for the state who testified that Parton and his friends r.-re on the car and had insulted Mrs. Turner." There were however witnesses for the defense, who were passengens on the . car, who testified that Parton and his friends were not on the car. It Is the general belief that the jury wi"l find Parton guilty, of assault and battery and probably impose, a short jail sentence. Parton and his attorneys agreed to pay a $50 fine and to serve 10 days in jail if tho State would only prosecute him on a charge of assault and battery, but Marshal Dr'chel would consent to nothing except a charge of attempt to commit murder. , MATHEWS0N CHECKER HEAD. Star Pitcher ef Giants May Be Eleeted as President ef New Club. Christy Matbewson, crack pitcher fot the New York Nationals, Is nominated ns one of the founders and probable uomlnee for president of a new checkers club which New Yorkers are organizing in an attempt to bring two notable international contestants to this country. The organization is to be known as the New York Checkers club and in cludes In Its preliminary roster about eight , prominent checkers experts. Mathewson is regarded as one of the cleverest players in the, east. One of the international contests in prospect Is between Newell Banks and Alfred Jordan, champion of London. FOR COAST FOOTBALL TITLE. Socker Teams of Stanford and Univer sity of California to Clash Nev. 12. Great interest is being taken in the big socker football championship match between Staufcrd and the University of California to take place at Berkeley. Cal.; Nov. 12. It promises to be tbe greatest exhibition of Rugby ever given in this couutry. as a result of the campaign which many of the players of the teams made In Australia and New Zealand during the summer. An Australian expert asserted that within two years the Americans promised to be among the best, if not the best, exponents of Rugby in tbe world. Hera's Sorno Great Kicking. Thomas D. Shepherd of Wellesley Hills, fullback of the University of Maine football team, undoubtedly made a record in the recent game with tbe Maine Athletic club, from which Maine won. Shepherd kicked four jtoals from tbe field from the thirty, thirty-five. . thirty -eight and forty-five yard lines respectively. sJ3e played on Wesley3n In 1903. Dartmouth Has Some Speedy Men. Toung Marceau. the Boston A. A. runner, is now at Dartmouth. Harry Hilimnn should give tbe " youngster some valuable pointers about tbe dis tance game.

The strength of a football eleven lies In the strength of its forwards, and the bigger, faster and gamer tbey are tbe better. The relative ranking of the football officials this season is referee, field judge, umpire and linesman, and com pensation should be in this ratio. Princeton may enter tbe Eastern In tercollegiate Socker league this season. The teams are expected to be Penn. Haverford. Cornell. Columbia. Tale and Harvard. Columbia is champion. . The quarterback Is more important than ever. He must be keener in his selection of plays, and he must be quick to size up tbe capabilities of tbe players and their capabilities to gain ground.
