The opinion of a high | | ympany that theré was a dis- | | Traffic decision | gosition to maintain prices is confirmatory. In Ncrthern Pacific it was not only evident that cre was inside absorption of the offerings but the reco: of prices of other roads af- fected by the dissension suggested a renewal | of efforts to patch it up. Finally the unex- | pec favorable bank statement routed the | bears “effectually. Of $4 (13,800 increase in cash not e than $1,000,000 can be ounted | for by sub. ry operations and the inter- ior movement. The source of the bala is @s much & mystery as was the sudden de- of $5.000,000 in the return for November | e cont the wee ued ease of the money marl in the face of large clearing: house operations is, however, explained. Not- 8ble strength was shown by A'tchison preferred, Northwestern, Omaha, Baltimore and Ohio and a nber of other stocks. The stock market | has shown in all the variety and irregularity | during the week that are usually characteris- tic of a mark in whic. the ulative and investment pu is taking a la A large aggregate of individual sm transac- tions bore the market up into irregularity in- evitably and takes it partly out of the hand: of the professional cilques and pools which are able to manioi te it easily In time of dull- ness. The intere: of the public was amply manifested by the volume of business coming to the floor of the exchange houses, which have been crowded with customers all week. Appar- ently many of these were wating for a reac- tion in prices in order to et in,"”" and when the sharp break came on Wedhesday the buy- inz from these houses was very heavy and ral- lied the market easily and effectually. Prices have shown a prevailing disposition to go up, but have been held back at intervals by one or two causes. At the opening of the week the sharp fall in surplus cash and surplus reserve shown y urday’'s bank statement was a shadow on the speculative mind. The known stringent conditions of the Berlin money mar- ket and the measures taken for protecting at other financial centers made it . doubtful ‘whether relief could be had promptly by gold imports in case of a local saueeze or without | sharp competition in discount rates, in spite | of the heavy outstanding balance to the credit | of this country in the worid’s money markets. | It highly significant that the easier condi- tion of money in London was brought about partly by a resumption of the holding back of t i sterling exchange bills, coming forward to | New York for grain and cotton and with money | in New York distinctly working toward an easier basis as tne week advanced even in the face of enormous clearing-house operations. One reason assigned for the weakness of Northern Pacific also has been the of its operating expenses, fears in some quarters of a stripping of the | Pproperty. orthern Pacific has suffered chiefly, however, from the bellef that projected ne Hn in the Northwest foreshadow the | hresiizs up of the entente cordiale which has existed among the railroads in that country. The liquidation in Northern Pacific has had an influence in checking the general advance In the latter part of the week. ‘There has been a large business in bonds dur- low ratio which have aroused | ing week, though by no means up to last week’s high record. The market has shown the same irregularity as that for stocks. United States new fours coupon and the fives coupon have declined %, and the old fours coupon, the new fours registered and the fives registered 3 in the bid price.

Within the time named 00,000, deposits sh not quite rve now, however, is only | 000,000 less th: before these aing to be a feature of the weekly state- If the Tt for the present week | rion, s seem abundantly able or a new 58 approxi- ¢ large. They have increased their cash .holdings since November 12 $4.013,500, and as requirements necessitated by the ex- pansion of $5,432 ** in ) not cal h cash the surplus reserve is $1,65! han a week ago. It has been expecte of the sudden revival since the ele tion the loan item would show a heavy add ticn, but the actual increase was only 35,8 800 ' The home demands and the natural rise | in rates have probably checked the buying of nt sterling, which has been reported weeks. A shrinkage in the cash of York banks might have led to some liquidation in these investments, but under the circumstances the volume remained at about the present level. The banks are gain- ing from the interior and the current treas- ury deposits are adding to their cash resource: Still, it is to be noted that the total increase in specie for the week Is accounted for largely the bank which holds intimate relations | with the treasury. There has been more or less shifting of funds, owing to the partial com- pletion of several large deals and heavy in- vestment buying. Speculation, as has been pointed out, does not mean withdrawal of loan- | able capitai: it merely transfers its ownership. | Wkether the return of money from the interior, | which generally begins at this week, will be | as large as usual in the face of the expanding | ditfons throughout the West, is an inter- esting_problem. If this money is added to the ew York surplus future prospects may be de- termined acurately. If the gain is little or nothing and New York rates rest at par with foreign centers, some interesting developments in the way of exchange liquidation, with ac- | companying specle imports, may be expected, | especially as commercial bills have been com: | ing forward rapidly. THE LONDON MARKET. NI ‘W YORK, Nov. 19.—The Evening Post's The stock markets here were stagnant to-day, epeculative stocks, notably Americans, belng depressed by selling from Berlin, following the rise in the discount rates of the Bank of Ger- many. The last time the German bank rate was 6 per cent was in 1852, the time of the financial crisis in Paris. The present rise In the rate is due to the desire to attract large amounts of gold quickly. As previously told in these dispatches, German bills to mature in the next fortnight are exceptionally heavy. Some failures are looked for, but nothing really serious or far-reaching is expected, the position being that Germany has engaged In no mad speculation, but in active, sound enter- prise in all parts of the world, only requirin more cash to finance it than they possess. Gol to-day was at 77s 10d for Germany. The Eng- lish portion of Speyer's issue of the Southern Pacific California bonds was applied for ten times over. LONDON, Nov. 19.—Spanish 4s closed at 41 7-16c.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—Heavy receipts in the Northwest and easier cables from Liverpool started Wheat a shade lower. Corn developed considerable strength, however, and enough of that feeling was reflected in the Wheat pit to offset the easy feeling at the opening. Brad- street's reported clearances of Wheat and Flour for the week from both coasts at 5,679,- 000 bushels, and Beerbohm's placed the total shipments of the week from all quarters to Europe at 8,400,000 bushels, which left only 2,721,000 bushels from all sources outside of shipments from this side. That helped to some extent in producing the bullishness which quickly followed the easy feeling at the open- ing. Near the close New York reported sixty boat loads of Wheat disposed of there for export. That scared the December shorts into covering, and the closing quotation, 66%c, was at the top of the day’s range. May dragged slowly over a range beginning at 657sc and closing at 66@06lc sellers. Higher cables and moderate receipts, 236 cars, gave Corn a strong start. An excellent cash demand, together with a small interior movement, stimulated bull sentiment and prices ruled strong from beginning to end. May closed with a gain of ec. A good cash demand and the advance in Corn strengthened Oats. Shorts were forced to cover and some of the most prominent longs added to their line. May gained %c. sThe strength of the coarse grains had a firming influence in Provisions. Traders bought freely and as offerings from packing interests were limited prices were forced up- ward. Pork and ribs advanced Thc each and lard 2%c. The leading futures ranged as follows: “op igh. Low. Close. Articles— Open.

Mr. Growgwill lived in Storkville Center, Vt. He had a big, cestiron soap kettle that was cracked and of no ther use, so he wanted to get it broken up to sell for scrap. He might have had men break it up with sledges, but as the county fair was going on in Storkvilie Center he had an idea that he’d have taken up' by the man that was making balloon ascensions and dropped from a good height on Stony Hill, a_rocky rise not far from the fair ground. He thought this would be fun, and the balloon man, as a matter of fact didn’t charge him anything for it, because he turned the whole business into a big advertisement for himself and had posters out all over announcing that on such a day and at such an hour, weather permitting, Pro- fessor Hiflite would drop Mr. _ Abner Growgwiil's monster soap kettle from his balloon upon the summit of Stony Hill. “Of course the whole town turned out to see it. Storkville Center had never seen a cast-iron soap kettle drop from a balloon upon the summit of a rocky hill before. 1 doubt, indeed, if any other community ever has. The wind was fa- vorable. The load was about all the bal- loon could lift, even though it had been inflated to its fullest capacity and all ex- tra weight had been removed and all bal- last was left behind. But it lifted it fin- ally and soared away higher and higher off in the direction of Stony Hill. At a great elevation, and when the balloon was directly over the stonlest part of the hill, the people, Mr. Growgwill among them, stretching 'their necks and looking up from below, saw the aeronaut making ready to cast the great kettle loose. Just an instant before he did so a gusty cur- rent of air struck the great gas globe and pushed over on_one side, swinging the great kettle under it in the other direc- tion. The professor avould have waited if he could until the balloon and the kettle | had resumed the gerpendicular, but it | was 100 late now. Some of the lashings had already been cast loose and the weight of the kettle did the rest, and | away it went sailing through the air, not d own to be smashed into fragments on the rocky top of Stony Hill, but flying off in a slantendicular di- rection whose end was realized in a min- ute, with a shout of dismay by everybody looking on; it was flying straight for the house of a farmer who lived at the foot of the hill. “It struck the chimney, which was in the middle of the house,’ square on the top and crushed it down as a great boul- der would have crushed down a man's tall hag, and smashed right on down through the house plumb to the cellar, leaving a big, ragged crater at the top where the | chimney had been, with a cloud of dust | coming up out of it. The whole muiltitude | made for the house, fearful that some- body had been killed 'in it; but the farmer and his family bad all been out with the | rest looking on; so, fortunately, nobody | was hurt; but the house was a wreck, it | was all right outside, but inside it was | gone to pieces, and after it all the big | kettle lay in the cellar as sound ‘as ever | but for the original crack. “Mr. Growgwill was a man of means, | and he paid for fixing up the house. which | amounted suvstantially to rebullding it. He tried to get the balloonist to pay part, but the professor said ‘that he had under- | taken the work under contract, and he | couldn't be responsible for the action of | the elements, anyway. so Mr. Growgwill had to pay it all.” He never had any more soap kettles to break up; but it is safe to say that if he had had he would have had them broken up with sledges in the | commonplace way, and not dropped from balloons,"—New York Sun. —_——— He was an earnest minister, and one Sunday. in the course of a sermon on the | significance of little things he said: “The | hand which made the mighty heavens, | made a grain of sand; which made the lofty mountains, made a drop of water; which made you, made the gras fleld; which madé me, made a dais s Theatrical posters must have the ap- proval of a committee of the City Council in Hartford.
