THE FINANCIAL DEPRESSION. The President Asked to Convene Congress at Once for Legislation. WASHINGTON, June 28.-Secretary Carlisle's mail this morning was loaded down with letters from bankers, commercial men and others calling on the President to convene Congress at once in extra session, to consider financial legislation. The pressure is great, but there is semi-official authority for the statement that Congress will not be convened before September. A Cabinet officer, speaking of the financial situation, said this morning that the country had been brought to its present financial condition by the very men who were now clamoring for an extra session of Congress. They had reached the end of their rope, and could no longer profit and thrive by speculation, and wanted the Gover: ment to come to their relief, that they might again enter upon an arena of speculation. There was no doubt in his mind, he said, that the repeal of the Sherman law would bring about much-needed reliefwhether temporary or permanent, time only could demonstrate. Still, there was no certainty even now, that Congress would repeal the Sherman law. The House was more favorable to its repeal than the Senate. He intimated that if the President was convinced that Congress would immediately repeal the Sherman law, that body might be convened in extra session before September But. he concluded, "the leaven is working." According to treasury advices, silver continues to decline, the price in London to-day being thirty-four pence per ounce, or 739 our money. This makes the silver dollar worth to-day as bullion fifty-seven cents. Since the Treasury went out of the market as a purchaser of silver, June 21st, the price declined from .82 to .739 per ounce. Next Monday, July 3d. is the time for the next purchases, but it is hinted at the Treasury Department that purchases may be delayed till July 5th or 7th. Secretary Carlisle is giving attention to the situation, and will have a conference on the silver side of the question tonight. A Trust Company Suspends. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. June 28.-The suspension of the St. Paul and Minneapolis Trust Company was announced last night. A card from the president says the assets exceed the liabilities by $200,000. and that it will pay in full. The general belief is that it will do so and resume business. Its president is Governor McGill, vice-president Congressman Lorn Fletcher. Capital stock, $500,000. More Bank Failures.

LOOKS MUCH BETTER There Is an Easier Feeling Manifested in Wall Street. Nevertheless the Depression Is Such That Many Mercantile Concerns Have Gone Under. Special to THE MORNING CALL. NEW YORK, June 28.-Bankers reported an easier condition in the money market this morning. There were no extraordinary shipments, and the only thing which was noticed out of the ordinary was the large number of demands for rediscounts from all over the country. The Clearing-house loan committee issued $1,330,000 of certificates, making the total amount issued $6,360,000. The subtreasury transferred $115,000 to San Francisco by telegraph in return for gold deposited. The free gold in the treasury to-day is just $96,000,000. There is much talk in Wail street as to the reasons which have prevented the President calling Congress together immediately. An intimate friend of the Secretary of the Treasury, in conversation with a reporter, said that according to Carlisle a canvass of the members of Congress two months ago on behalf of Cleveland resulted in learning that there was a majority in the House in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law, but in the Senate there was a majority of twenty the other way. It was believed, however, that enough Senators, eleven at least, could be converted before September so as to enable the repeal of the measure to pass the upper House. C. P. Huntington said this afternoon that he had not sold $10,000,000 or any other amount of bonds abroad. He sold some small lots in New York-odds and ends, so to speak. The present is no time to sell bonds. CLEVELAND, June 28.-On account of the great depression in trade, one after another of the great iron mines in the upper Michigan peninsula are shutting down indefinitely. These mines employ thousands of men, and practically are the sole support of whole towns in the peninsula. A protracted cessation of work is bound to result in widespread suffering. It will also have a very bad effect on vessels in the ore-carrying trade. PHILADELPHIA, June 28.-The depressing effect on the present condition of the cotton trade is making itself felt in Frankford and Kensington. The managers of mills are trying to avert the suspension of the entire plant by laying off the employes of one room at one time, hoping that trade will take a boom, but two large plants in Frankford have finally decided to shut down one month at least; and the others in Kensington; it is rumored, will soon follow example. The mills first to succumb are the Calcutta and Berkshire, both operated by the Berkshire Mill Company and employing 600 hands. BEDFORD, Ind., June 28.-The Bedford Stone Quarries Company, the largest producers of eolitic limestone in the world, have made an assignment to William L. Brewogle, one of the company's largest creditors. Inability to realize in time to meet maturing obligations is given as the cause. A bond of $400,000 is required. LOCKHAVEN, Pa., June 28.-The State Bank of Lockhaven has gone into liquidation. ONTARIO, Cal., June 28.-AttorneyGeneral Hart and Commissioners Gerberding and Dunsmore examined the Citizens' Bank to-day and found it perfectly solvent. It will open for business to-morrow. SIOUX CITY, June 28.-The failure of the Union Trust Company was announced to-day. The liabilities are $350,000 and assets $450,000. The stock is largely held in New Hampshire. It is stated that the obligations can be fully satisfied from the assets.

BANKING INSTITUTIONS CLOSED. Minneapolis, June .-The suspension of the St. Paul and Minneapolis Trust Company was announced last night. A card from the president says that its assets exceed its liabilities by $200,000, and that it will pay In full. The general belief is that it will do so and resume business. Its president is ex-Governor McGIII, and its vice-president is Congressman Loren Fletcher. The capital stock is $500,000. In an interview last night, Mr. McGill said the failure was not due in any sense to mismanagement. The company had closed because it could not col. lect money due it from good, responsible parties. The Immediate cause of the failure was the presentation of a check for $19,000. While the company had money to pay this and much more, the officers felt that all creditors should be treated alike. Hence the determination to close. Lockhaven, Penn., June 28.-The doors of the State Bank of Lockhaven were not opened this morning.
