Railroad List Weakened ly Publica tion of Pennsylvania Enrnlun Recovery on Banlc Statement. NEW YORK, Jan. 3. Speculative senti ment underwent several rather abrupt traractlons , today. Trading apparently was In the hands of professional operators almost entirely. The first distinct move ment In the market, after as period of listless fluctuations, followed the publi cation of the November earnings of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The rate at wLI'h the rise in operating expenses in tills representative railway system was seen to outstrip the gains in gross earn irgs served to enforce doubts caused by a e!mi2ar tmdency which has become gen eral throughout the railway world. The Pennsylvania lines directly operated showed an increase in gross earnings for November of $681,500, but expenses in creased J1.363.1C0, so that net earnings de crease J 71.600. On the lines west of Eric, there wao reported an increase in gross earnings of $83,000, with a growth of Jj.IXjO operating expenses, resulting in n decrease in net earnings of $4U,G0Q. The whole railroad list weakened sharply under tho influence of this showing. Prices in some stock?. Including Pennsylvania, re c;dc 1 to a point or more below last night. There was an animated recovery upon the appearance of the bank statement, with its unexpected recuperation of ?3. tVH.QO in the surplus reserves of the banks. Such a showing is almost unprecedented for the first week In January. That the fcar.ka should have been able to get through the Januarv sottlomont wiiWi re quired resources in excess of all previous recorJs, with a merely nominal increase in loans, was in Itself a pleasant surprise ti those who had felt nervouo about the money situation. The recovery in prices met renewed heavy selling and the market closed easy and with net changes mixed. Amalgamated Copper and "United States Steel were notably firm throughout Man hattan was weakened by the requirements made upon the company by the State Rail road Commission for Increased equipment. There was a slight tremor of uneasiness manifested in Monday's stock market when the monev rate went tn 15 Tfr ornt but after that the tone became strong and confident and the vapors which had been hanging over the street seemed to be dissipated. The year closed with a fairly exultant spirit among operators In stockn. The dominant influence in causing this feeling was the sense of danger escaped. The end of the year was looked forward to with keen anxiety for several months, and it was not until this week that .as surance became strong that the prepara tions for the emergency had been adequate and successful, although the fears of a money crisis had been much reduced by the announcement of the formation of the bankers' pool to supply $50,000,000 of funds to the call of the loan market in case of urgent need. A special cause of discouragement was the small Impression made upon the loan account of the banks by the forced liqui dation in the stock market Holders of stocks had ample reason to know that enormous repayments of loans had been effected to the banks, while the weekly statement of the New Tork Clearlng House Association showed no correspond ing reduction of loans. The last state ment of the condition of National banks issued by the Comptroller of the Currency showed that loans actually had been in creasing the country over during the period of drastic liquidation on the stock exchange. Many important stocks in the market touched the highest price of the year during the first two weeks of Sep tember, and since that time have fallen to the lowest of the year. Yet a com parison of last week's bank statement with that of September 13, showed that iiik cieanng-nouse banks had contracted 23 th'elr loans In Oiat f tm a iwx v r . vtu iujj tuau ootfooo. It is now believed that the funds recalled from the stock market were used to a very large extent for the payment of foreign loans mnturing. Authorities here and abroad agree that there has been a reduction of bankers indebtedness to Europe to the extont of thousands of millions of dollars in the last few months. The repayment of those loans apparently has resulted in greater ease in securing accommodation abroad during the last week or two. There was some large buy ing of stocks during the weelc by that portion of the speculative community which has maintained that tightness of money was the only factor making for uepression oi securities. Confidence that a moral relaxation of money conditions will follow In January serves as additional reassurance for this element A consider able important interest which has been awaiting a money squeeze to cover also, were urgent buyers. Thore has been evidence, besides, of an Improved senti ment on the part of other speculative con tingents which had entertained misgiv ings that the country had reached the culmination of the wave of, prosperity, and that a long period of reaction Is to be faced. The rise in the prices of copper, and of petroleum were cited as against the j contention tnat the rise in prices of com modities has culminated. More confidence was professed, also, that the advances in freight ratc to go Into effect with the new year will bo effective in recuperating the net earnings of railroads.

As revealing tho temporary influence of dividend disbursements, it may be noted that one of the comparatively small banks increased Its specie holdings over $3,500,000, bringing its reserve up to 57 per cent. This Institution is the depository of very large Interests and the money wus placed In tho bank for checking out Saturday, the debt balance on that day with the clearing house having been sufficient to offset the heavy gain of tho week.

Satisfactory Sliowinsr of the "Week's Transaction. NEW YORK, Jan. 3. Tho Financier says: The fine statement of the New York clearing-house bunks for the five days endinc Januarv 3. Is accnuntrv! for in nnrt- by the fact that the banks failed to reflect in the previous week's exhibit the gains in cash which It was known they must have made during that period. According to the official returns, Saturday; the banks Increased their cash holdings almost $5, 500.000, which Is at least double tho indi cated gains based upon the known move ment of the week. Of the gain in cash reached In the official statement, only $1,246,500 was In specie, and $4,lS0.CO3 legal tender. It Is no doubt true that a por tion of the cash received was what is known as holiday money, but on tho other hand, the heavy receipts of legal tender would seem-to show that the move ment of money from tho Interior was re sponsible for the larger portion of tho increase In the receipts. It Is from this source that the long-expected relief In money must come, and as the banks are large gainers during January from in terior institutions, the present turn in tho tide Is regarded by borrowers as vrv important The prevailing high rates for funds in New Y'ork .serve as an additional Incentive to attract money from other points. The total deposits of the banks are now $58,000,000 less than at this time last year, while the excess reserve Is several millions higher. The rapid Increase in de posits last week had the effect of vers nearly equalizing the loans, the excess of the former over the latter having been regarded as an adverse force of late. The statements of the banks for two weeks or more, probably will be complicated by dividend and interest payment adjust-j ments, but this will have an Important in fluence In the end.

Stpcks In the hands of wholesalers and dealers all over the country have become greatly depleted, probably never In the history of the trade have the stocks of tea become so low. Some Idea of the amount of ten which win be sent out all over the country may be had from the fact that on November 1. according to the official returns, there were 49,967,160 pounds of tea remaining in Bonded warehouses at the port of New York. This amount probablv was in creased during the month of December. their places with new mon. rnntoin Walker started a second time for the Sound. On this voyage two of his men succumbed to the disease. Tho Comliebank is now under orders for a detention of 14 days at Diamond Point and In the Interim the vessel's hold will be thoroughly cleansed of the Panama mud used as ballast, and the vessel thoroughly disinfected. The quar antine officials apprehend no further spread of the contagion, as the facilities at hand are more than competent to con trol the disease should it break out again. INSPECTED THE DREDGE.

Thev look like ordinary sores and are usually treated as such, some simple salve, wash or powder being used in the hope of dry ing them up and stopping the discharge; but while the place may temporarily scab over, it again inflames and festers, be coming as bad or worse than ever. After awhile the deadly poison begins to eat into the surrounding flesh and the sore spreads with frightful rapidity. Then the sharp shooting pains, which distinguish, the cancerous from the common ulcer, are felt, and the unfortunate patient is brought face to face with the most dread ed of all maladies, a cancerous ulcer. Whenever an ulcer of any kind is slow in healing it should be closely watched, particularly if there is an inherited pre disposition to cancer. Often times a ma lignant, stubborn ulcer starts from a boil, wart, mole, bruise, blister or pimple, for when the blood is tainted and the germs and seeds of cancer are implanted in the system, you cannot tell when nor where the deadly poison is going to break out, S. S. S. cures these cancerous ulcers and chronic sores, by driving out of the system all the morbid and unhealthy matter that keeps the ulcer irritated and discharging.

HUNDREDS O HOMES ARE WRE CKED By Men and Women Whose Minds Were Destroyed by Diseased Nerves NEARER DEATH OR THE ASYLUM EVERY DAY Hundreds of men and women thank Dr, Kessler and the Old Louis Dispen sary for curing and saving them from this awful doom. Friends, don't wait for when once the human body is filled with diseased nerves, then trouble begins. It is a very hard disease to cure, but with years of experience, study, patience and careful treatment, hundreds have been cured at the Old St Louis Dispensary Portland, Or. Every case must be treated by its aymptoms; seldom two alike. One reason so many come or write to Dr. Kessler at the SL Louis Dispensary, for a cure, is because even good country doctors haven't the time to devote and study these cases. So they are sent to .Dr. Kessler. Hundreds of pitiful cases in tho asylums, if they had gone to see or even written a letter to Dr. Kessler in time they might today be at home enjoying life with their friends.
