NEW YORK, Nov. 29. (Special.) A

ported. Dealers are understood to be
watching1 the market, ready to take ad

Receipts of prunes today were 20,000
boxes domestic and 29,000 boxes for ex
port. The market closed active and strong
on sizes 40-50, 50-C0 and 60-70, but easier
on the smaller sizes. Several fair-sized
parcels were closed for export on a bid
of 6c for 40-60s, Inclusive. French ca

not buy. Sales covering three cars of

WEEK IX THE STOCK MARKET.
FeellnB That Harmony of Railroad
Situation Is Endangered.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29. The professional
traders who practically monopolized to
day's narrow stock market, bid up Louis
ville on the professed belief that the
dividend Is to be Increased, and Brooklyn
Transit on the showing of Increased net
earnings for October. These movements
served to overcome the heaviness of the
open dealings. Commission houses with
Washington connections circulated al
leged verbatim extracts from the Presi
dent's forthcoming message of a much
milder tone on the subject of trusts than
some of the recent alleged forecasts cir
culated by bear traders, but the market
failed to develop animation owing to a
general desire to see the bank statement
before making "commitments. There was
a spilling out of stocks when the state
ment appeared, but supporting orders
were met, and the market rallied and
closed steady.
The decrease. in cash was less than an
ticipated from the known movements of
money, but the heavy Increase in loans
was the disquieting feature. It Is said
that Interior banks have been calling
loans placed in this market earlier In the
season, and the demand upon the local
banks for accommodations has thereby
been increased. The free lending here by
interior banks early in the season gave
Tlse to the hope that they were so largely
supplied that the usual interior demand
for moving the crops would bo less than
usual this season. The accommodations
then offered, however, have been largely
recalled. Interior loans in New York
were estimated at one time at $90,000,000
to $100,000,000, and are said to be now less
than $30,000,000. This week's loan item of
the banks also undoubtedly represents
preparations by corporations to make De
cember 1 disbursements. These payments
are likely to bo returned to the local
money market after their receipt by stock
and bondholders. The payment in Lon
don on Monday for the stocks of con
stituent companies in the shipping com
bine also marks the satisfactory require
ments which have helped to hold up the
sterling exchange rate here and to draw
from local sources.
A few special developments had a dom
inant effect on the whole list this week,
so far as the price movement was con
cerned, without, however, Inducing any
important degree of activity. As the spe
cial developments have been of conflicting
import, the price movement has also been
irregular and constantly fluctuating. This
Irregular movement has been over a low
range in consonance with the small
actual participation In the market. The
most important event of the week was
the formal announcement of the lease of
the Manhattan Elevated to the Interbor
ough Rapid Transit Company, the cor
poration which is to operate the subway
railroad In New York City.
The favorable effect of the Manhattan
lease was neutralized by the disclosure of
a divergence of views and . a display of
rancor over the control of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company. The fact that
George Gould and E. H. Harriman were
In open conflict over the securing of prox
ies for the coming annual meeting of this
company created an uneasy feeling. It
was sought by the issuance of reassuring
statements to allay the feeling that har
mony of the railroad situation was en
dangered, but the depressing effect upon
the stock market was not altogether re
moved. The disclosure of a conflict of
such powerful Interests inevitably causes
disquietude. It is probable, however, that
the hesitation and uncertainty revealed in
the securities market were due to gen
eral causes, rather than to any special
events.
The sustained strength of tho foreign
exchange market through the heavy mer
chandise export period holds the
constant threat of gold exports over the
market. Interior' money markets are re
ported tight, thus delaying the season
able return flow of currency from the
interior. The condition of Interior bank
loan accounts leads to the supposition
that the process of heavy additional cap
ital outlay has gone on the country -over,
in small enterprises as well as large. The
year-end settlements are yet to be met,
and foreign creditors stand waiting to
draw on any additional resources which
may be yielded 'to the New York money
market by the return of cash from "the
Interior. Money resources for speculative
use are in scanty supply, and financial
authorities and powers are averse to see
ing large credits used for speculative pur
poses. The drop in silver to the lowest price In
the- history of the world has been an in
cidental influence In the market, specific
ally upon the American Smelting stocks,
and generally by reason of the embar
rassments caused to the sliver standard
countries and their reflection upon the
world's financial centers.
The bond market has been dull, but
prices of Investment Issues are well sus
tained. United States 3s, the 3s reg. and
the 5s reg. declined each, compared
with the closing call of last week.
KEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Increase of Eleven Million Dollars In
Loan Account.
NEW YORKT Nov. 29. The Financier
says:
The important feature of the official
statement of the New York banks list
week was the expansion of loans by
$11,608,800 for the first time since the be
ginning of tho month, the result of re
cently Improved bank conditions. It is
probable, however, that part of this ex
pansion was due to special causes, such
as the lending" of funds which had been
accumulated preparatory to their dis
bursement for December interest, and
dividends, and also In anticipation of pay
ments on syndicate accounts early in the
week. The rising tendency of securities
on the stock market doubtless also con
tributed to the Increase in loans. There
was a net loss of only $1,711,000 in cash,
specie being decreased $2,667,800 and legal
tenders increased $356,800, whereas the
estimates based on the traceable move
ments of money during the week indi
cated a loss of $3,432,900. Part of the dis
crepancy may be accounted for by the
fact that on Friday there was a transfer
through the Subtreasury to San Fran
cisco of $500,000, and doubtless other large
amounts were drawn from tho banks on
the last day of the bank week, which
withdrawals were not included in tho
estimate of cash movements. Deposits
were increased $8,140,000, which amount id
$1,767,100 . less than that called for by the
Increase of loans, less the net loss of
cash; therefore the statement was out of
harmony.
The required reserve was reduced $2,032,
675, which sum, added to the net de
crease of cash, made $3,743,675 as the re
duction in surplus reserve, which now
stands at $15,786,200. At the correspond
ing period last year it was $13,414,575.
Computed on the basis of deposits, less
$40,169,900 of the Government, the surplus
is $25,828,775. The circulation showed only
the small Increase of $95,100, indicating
that the expansion of this item, which
has been so important, beginning with
I October, Is now regarded as unnecessary.
The average daily clearings were $273,
000,000, against $231,000,000 in the previous
week. It Is noteworthy that through th.e
increase of the capital of ono of the banks
from $500,000 to $1,000,000, the total capital
of the clearing-house banks has been
augmented to $101,172,700; the surplus and
net profits aftj $118,575,700.
Comparisons of changes in loans show
that eight of the larger banks increased
this Item by $7,500,000 net; one bank ex-
panded loans by $5,400,000, and another by
specie show that five banks lost $3,700,000
net.
The statement of averages of the as
sociated banks for five" days shows:
Loans, $879,826,000; increase, $11,60S,800.
Deposits, $553,836,800: increase, $8,140,000.

Later Particulars.
Chicago Tribune.
Years afterward, when Jack had grown
to manhood, he gave his version of the
incident-
"I don't suppose," he said, "there ever
was as much fuss made over a little
trifling, insignificant thing as there was
over that. And they didn't get it straight,
either. Jill and I didn't go up the hill at
all. We went down the hill, where the
spring was, to get our pall of water. On
the way down I stumbled over a dead
limb that had dropped from a tree and
took a fall. Jill didn't fall. She stopped
and sassed me for being so awkward. I
wasn't hurt a bit. They printed 'pictures
of us tumbling down hill, with the water
spilling out of the empty pall, and one old
woman wrote some bum poetry about my
'cracking my crown' and a lot of other
stuff. I think It was mighty small busi
ness, and if I ever meet her I'll tell her
so." .
Here the adult Jack took a bite from a
plug of tobacco and crunched it with the
vindictive energy of a man who had
chafed for years beneath the undeserved
ridicule of his fellowmen.
as many Senators who opposed the reci
procity bill of last session have already
declared themselves favorable to a treaty
If a treaty is not forthcoming, however,
and this seemo Improbable, the reciprocity
bill stands no better chance of passing
than It did before Congress adjourned last
July. A treaty would not require action
by the .House, although many Senators
would lniXst upon making exhaustive ar
guments before allowing the document to
be ratified, thereby consuming valuable
time.
So great is opposition to the other pend
ing reciprocity treaties that there Is no
hope for their adoption, without it be a
few of tho treaties with West Indian
provinces.
The restoration of peace In Colombia
may result in the negotiation of "a canal
treaty with that government, in which
event that treaty, too, will bo ratified.
Insular Needs.
Moro or less radical legislation is needed
for our new island possessions, and the
very fact that It is radical will be used
against It3 peesage at the short session
An attempt will be made'to put through a
bill to establish the gold standard In the
Philippine Islands; also to establish free
trade between those Islands and the
United States. The Senatorial subcommit
tee which visited Hawaii this recess found
crying demands for considerable legis
lation for those islands, which are now,
instead of under a territorial form of gov
ernment, rather a small monarchy, with
Governor Dole as Emperor. The fact that
the islands are so far removed, and there
Is so little public Interest in their wel
fare, will probably prevent the passage of
needed legislation this session.
Canteen and Other Bills.
Ever elnce Congress passed the antl-,
canteen law. Army officers from all parts
of the United States, from the Philippines
and from Alaska, have pointed out that
the- Army has been injured thereby. Not
only has there been an Increase of drunk
enness among, the troops, but desertions
have increased. The urgent appeals of
practical Army officers may have influence
with Congress, although there are as
many cowards now In that body as were
present when the anticantcen law was
passed under the very eyes of the W. C.
T. U. Ultimately the canteen must be
restored, but a short session affords oppor
tunity for timid members to avoid going
on record against the will of the temper
ance advocates.
Much Interest centers in the bill .passed
by the Senate leet session creating a de
partment of Commerce. The measure is
wholly meritorious; In fact, is needed to
relieve congestion In the Government de
partments. Nevertheless the chiefs of
bureaus proposed to be incorporated in the
new department are fighting the bill, and
Congress itself hesitates to say flatly
what bureaus shall be Included. Unless
tho President comes to the relief, and
makes this decision, a very meritorious
measure may suffer defeat for lack of
consideration In the House.
Appropriation Bills.
The several appropriation bills must go
through, and will consume much of the
time of the short session. There will be
controversies over tho Naval bill, , both as
to the policy of providing more' officers
and the proposition to build up tho Navy
to be equal In strength to any navy In tho

world. There are two factions in Con
gress on the leading Naval questions, who
may provoko a lively discussion on these
two questions. Aside from this feature,
however, there Is little of public interest
at stake in the supply bills.
Of course numerous attempts will be
mado to Insert in the sundry" civil bill in
creased appropriations for public buildings
authorized last session, and many such
efforts will be successful.
There will be no river and harbor, bill
this session. Tho appropriations made in
the last session are considered large
enough to carry over until the first ses-.
slon of the 5Sth Congress. Furthermore, It
is not the policy of Congress5 to pass river
and harbor bills In a shorl session.
APPARENT INCONSISTENCY
Sport Directed at an Eminent Gentle
man's Ambition.
New York Sun.
In a special dispatch from the shores
of Puget Sound to the Times-Democrat of
New Orleans we have definite Information
concerning the Intentions of the most
Oriental of the candidates for Speaker:
'Tacoma, Wash. Congressman Charles
H, Littlefleld, of Maine, today announced
his candidacy for Speaker of the House of
Representatives to succeed General Hen
derson. Littlefleld was entertained here
today by Senator Foster and Representa
tives Cushman arid Jones. Regarding his
candidacy ho said:
" 'Had I consulted my own Interests en
tirely I should have abandoned my Cali
fornia trip on learning that General Hen
derson would not be a candidate for re
election. I understand several other
gentlemen who are to be candidates for
that honor have been making' an active
canvass during the present campaign. On
starting to California I was asked to make
a number of speeches in the Middle West
ern States. My own interests -as candi
date for the Speakership w.ould probably
have been Improved with compliance, but
the situation in California decided mo to
remain with them until the campaign
closed."
At last, then, the distinguished gentle
man from Maine is In the. field, positively
and sure enough. There Is a note of griev
ance In his reference to the efforts of his
competitors to promote their individual
Interests while he was working on the
Pacific Coast solely for the good of the
whole party; but this Is not Important.
The main thing to be observed Is -that Mr.
Littlefleld makes a virtue of his own
absentlon from such semi-selfish cam
paigning before November 4. ,
What we do not quite understand is the
slight change In the eminent gentleman's
attitude concerning his candidacy which
seems to have occurred since September
"17, when he modestly remarked to a cor
respondent of the New York Times, Just
after General Henderson's withdrawal
and shortly before his own departure on
his public-spirited mission to the Pacific
Coast:
"I never yet heard of a man in Con
gress who would be unwilling to comply
with a practically unanimous demand
from his party."
This was in reply to a direct question
as to whether he was or was not a candi
date for Speaker. Mr. Littlefleld then
Intimated that he would respond to a
practically unanimous Invitation from his
party to become Speaker Henderson's suc
cessor. And yet he is now reported as
complaining in a very gentlemanly way
that some of his rivals have, stolen a
march on him by getting In their fine
work early while he was laboring -disinterestedly
for his party's good in a re
mote part of the Union; and he goes still
further and announces that even then. In
September last, he felt that he was act
ually sacrificing his own Interests by re
fraining from following; their greedy ex
ample. There is an apparent Inconsistency here.
Perhaps, however, Mr. Littlefleld has sat
isfied himself meanwhile that there ex
ists in the Republican party a practically
unanimous desire that he, rather than
any other eminent Republican in the next
House, shall be its Speaker.
How He Realized on His Tip.
Philadelphia Record.
Apropos of the 10 per cent advance In
wages, which has brought joy to over
100,000 employes of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, they tell a story in the Broad-Street
Station offices of the company regarding
a humble cleaner who was able to make
a double turn .through the advance. While
working about the secretary's office last
week he accidentally overheard soma of
the higher officials discussing the pro
posed increase, all news of which had
been most carefully kept from the em
ployes and the public. Bubbling over with
this important Information, he went into
one of the departments, where ho impart
ed the cheerful news, as he thought it. to
a number of clerks. He was promptly
given the merry laugh for his pains.
Somewhat nettled at this, he offered to
wager $1 with each of the clerks that a
10 per cent Increase In wages had been
ordered. Thinking that the cleaner was
an easy thing, a number of clerks at once
covered his offer. When the cleaner's
news was officially confirmed the next
day, every clerk paid up gladly like a
little man, without a murmur of protest.

reason so many como or write to Dr. Kessler at the St. Louis Dispensary for a
