GENERAL MARKET GAINING STRENGTH

Statement nf President Kiich of
Iniperlnl Ilnnk r Tnrlff
, In Criticised.
BERLIN, Nov. 2-1,-Thc Improvement on
the hourre. continues, all departments show
IriK gains for the last week. The fnct If)
again evident that many short engage
ments existed, cnuslng a strong movement
to cover, as a result of which valuation!)
roe. ltt week's trndlng strengthens the
Impression that tha market Ib gradually
regaining confidence In financial circles
great Importance waa attached to the
statement of Piesldetit Koch of the Im
perial Hank of Germany, to the effect tint
there was rnson to believe the worst w.ts
now over. The recent llnanclal crisis has
been worso In Saxony, and there espe
cially a. grrnter feeling of conlldcnco pre-
Another factor favorable to the week's,
Improvement was tho reduction In the
price of coke, amounting to 2 marks a ton
for furnace and to 4Vi marks a ton for foun
dry quality. This reduction In coke created
n considerable, demand for It on shnrci,
which was the strongest feature of tti
week's Hading. Iron shares roue more
tlun 10 points (luring the week and after a
long period of ncKlect. machinery securi
ties also rose. Home, of the electrical
tocks were also stronger, while the re
duction In coke had the effect of bllovlng
the bourse generally, although Iron men
sre of the opinion that tho coke reduction
wan Inadequate to relloc the depression of
the Iron market.
Ilem.v Kt ports In Steel.
It Is significant that the Lorraine and
Luxenburg furnaccH answered the. ivdm
tlon In the price of coke with a further
restriction of their output to 50 per cent.
t'p to the present lime I Ills loitrlctlon had
amounted to 35 per cent. 1Mb Iron could
not be quoted on the Dusseldorf Iron ex
change last week owing to the lack f
transactlonr.. Ncvertlu Uss the export
movement of steel Is griming livelier nul
the demand for old Iron Is growing better.
This latter Improved demand Is regarded as
signifying the approach of a general Im
provement In Iron and steel transactions.
Hank stocks were the second strongest
feature during the week ami were an -mated
on the prospects of Improving1 busi
ness on the bourse. This caused much
short covering, especially In the stock of
the Dresdener bank. Following n report
from Lloyd's the securities of the ocean
steamship companies showed a certain Im
provement. Another feature of the week
was the resumption of purchases In the
Iron and. coal shares for foreign nccount
nnd the prospects of American coal being
Imported Into Germany were discussed
from various points of view. A wholesale
coal dealer, Ilerr IJustnv Schnlz. who has
Just returned from the I'liltcd States,
where he ordered 140,000 tons of anthracite
coal, says In an Interview that no dancer
threatens Germany trom American coal.
The Importation of soft coal Is unre
muneratlvo even with existing low rates,
ays Herr ffchulz, but the Importation of
anthracite coal will remain a permanent
and paying business, the effect of which
will simply bo to displace British ami not
German coal. The Frankfurter .eltung
does not Hgree with llerr Kchtilz. and says
that Germany must sooner or later expect
h strong competition from American coal,
as well as from American Iron products.
This newspaper quotes Superintendent
Wr-ncke, of tho Krupp works, who druw
Mtteutlon to the great Increase In the
Vnlted States In coal transportation facili
ties for export. The Frankf urter Zeliung
advises the coal nnd Iron men of Germany
1o get together In Unto to meet this ex
pected American competition.
Xrw TnrltT I Criticised.
The general Introduction of the govern
ment's report, explaining the new tariff
bill, has appeared. It ban been nssalled by
the liberal prosa with arguments pronounc
ing It weak and contradictory. Tho I'er
llncr Tngeblatt says this Introduction shows
the lack of business reasons for tho In
crease In duties Introduced by tho bill and
that the government has been merely
moved In this action by Its .dcslrc to please
the agrarians.
Money was easy, with call loans at 2 per
cent.
DEMAND FOR CHINA'S TRADE
Manchester SellliiK Affected by Time
Hninlrod for Oe
I livery.
MANCHESTER. Nov. 24.-After Its pre
vious Improvements the market during 1'ist
week continued to bo strong. Tho demind
for cloth continued and tho turnover at
tained satisfactory dimensions, although
buyers as a rule wero only willing to pro
cecd at recent rnteK. Sellers, however,
have been latterly able to obtain prices
which were unavailable at the beginning of
tho week. Tho demands for tho China
trai principally ran to various classes of
shirtings nnd the Immediate demand Is
now largely satisfied. The time requlr?d
for delivery Is becoming nn obstacle to free
selling. There has been more Inquiry from
Calcutta, and several lines of goods wero
negotiated. These wero chiefly t,hff better
qualities of shirtings and lighter fabrics.
The general outlook for crops In India Is
netter. xnero was a. moneraie. ami miscel
laneous. Inquiry from nearby markets. The
southern Uomand waa quiet. Ynrns were
rather more In demand, but the export In
quiry was not actlvo and merchnnts appear
to have few orders.
Considerable business transpired In the
home trade In qualities to cover contracts
for cloth, thereby strengthening spinners.

I.tttle.
LONDON, Nov. 24. Huslnest on the
Stock exheange has been so nearly dead
during the, last week that tho doings are
hardly worth recording. .Money has been
alternately ncarco nnd plentiful, owing to
the fitful government disbursements nnd to
largo payments on account of various
colonial loans. Tho nank of England has
managed to Impound most of the available
gold. Tho open market rato of discount
closed firmer, but still below tho bank rate.
American securities alone displayed even a
suggestion of activity on the exchange. A
General feeling of apprehension for tho
uture prevented real business nnd quota
tions were largely nominal. Homo rnlls
declined a shado In splto of the Improved
trtinc reports. Mines were stagnant,

good many shoits to cover and December
advanced steadily to u strong ciose, n;
higher, at 6U4C Receipts were 116 cars.
Wheat trading was h dull and nurrow af
fair, December opened a shade to Wii lio
higher nt 7245f724c on better cables than"
had been expected, but fluctuated Kctweon
these two prices until Just before the close.
Receipts were liberal, particularly In the
rurthwcHt. Late reports stated that the
tains In the southwest hud not brought re
lief from the drouth, but clearances were
Usht and the probability of large world's
shipments to be reported Monday steadied
the market. The corn bulge as much us
anything perhaps brought the slight ad
vance. Toward the end of the session cov

and December closed firm, 4c higher, nt

Dullish activity developed early In the
oats pit. The cash demand was very strong

opened unchanged at 4lc nnd it luoKcd at

trading by commission people and general
cuverlng by shorts, which Indicated a mar

KILLED OFF OY AMATEURS.
Xo More Business for TrnTellnit
Photographers.
"Hope you will give us your trade next
year," said tho photo supply dealer to the
man who had been running's photograph
gallery on wheels through the country (lis
trlcts of Ixmg Island. The man had Just
paid his bill, reports the New York Tribune.
"Thero Isn't going to be any next year
for mo," said the photographer, eadly.
"I've sold the old girl," He was referring
to tho wagon gallery. "She's being used
as a lunch wagon out In Flushing."
"You don't' mean to say that you have
given up the business," exclaimed the
dealer. "Why, let's see, you've boen at It
at least ten years. What Is the matter?"
"Business Is killed for good by tho a 111 a
tour photography craze," replied tho ex
traveler. "Every other 'country Jake' hns a
camera of his own and Is snapping overy
thing In sight. A picture Is Just a plcturo
to tho country people. If they can get a
plcturo for nothing from a friend who
owns a camera they are not coming to the
gallery to pay out good monoy for pro
fessional work. I've tried everything, even
to lowering prices, but it does no good.
"Even tho tintype men who have shops
at the benches are suffering front the same
crarc. People bring their cameras to tho
shore, take their own pictures, and many
of them. The man with a mild 'Jag,' who
lnststs on having It photographed that bo
may never forget it, and the 'greenest'
visitors from the bnckwoods are about all
tho tintype man has left. Lots of the boys
are not going to start up next year."
"Aud what are going to do?" asked the
dealer.
"Peddle cameras and supplies through the
country districts and persuade the rest of
tho countryside to become fiends,"
The Oldest Newspaper.
It was supposed until recently, says the
Oolden Penny, that the Kin-Pan, a Chinese
Journal published In Pekln for the last 1,000
yeare, was the oldest uewapaper In the
world, In a very able work recently pub
llshed, however, Imbault Huart, the French
rnnsul at Canton, shows that this honor
belongs to tho Tslng-Pao, or Pekln News,
which has been published continuously
since the year 710 and Is even said to have

CATTLB-iThere were only a lew cattle
in tho yards today, so that a fair test of
the market was not made, For tho week
the supply was about tho same as It tins
been for the past several weeks, but an in
crease Is noted over the corresponding
week of last year. Tho demand all tho
week for good stuff wus very liberal and
prices arc now fully as good as they wero
at the close of last weelc, It Is notice
able, however, that while the choicest
crudes arc selling freely the common
kinds nre neglected, with the tendency of
prices downward, As n result the range of
prices Is greater than it has been In somo
tune pact.
Tho market for beef steers reached the
high point of the season this week, as
high as J7.3. Being paid on iTiuay lor a
choice bunch of steers for the Christmas
trade. Aside from that one sale, however,
the ton of the week was $6.60. It Is very
evident that packers aro all anxious for
cattlo good enough to sell for $6.00 or
better, nnd not enough have been coming
10 meei 1110 ncmauo. i-rn-rn nn: wiuio
fluently stronger than they wero a. week
ngo, as thero wero not enough of the good
kinds to go around. Fair to good cattle
are about steady with last week, but tho
common and warmed-up stuff have been
very slow sale and aro fully 15fj25o lower
for the week.
A good many cows have been on I ho
mnrket ull tho week, nnd the receipts have
Included finite a few cornfeds. Anything
strlctlv cho ce la about steady for the
week, but tbb medium kinds und canners
nre fullv 101 15c lower, and In somo enhos
the decline hns been even greater. Choice
cornfed cows mny bo quoted as high as
$4.60, and heifers would doubtless sell still
higher. The better grades of grass rattle
have sold as high as $4.oo. but tho bulk
of the anles go from $2.60 to $3.25.
There litis not been much'change on good
bulls, venl calves and stags, but the com
mon kinds are rather dull and weak.
Choice stockers and feeders are steady
for the week nnd have been In good de
mand. Cattle showing both weight and
iiiulltv mnv be (Hinted as lllKll lis $4.60.
while, prime yearlings would doubtless reach
t.zo. 1 no common Kino 01 amcnt-m uim
feeders of all weights have sold very slowly
and aro fully 15ijj25c lower than they were
a week' ago. The demnnd from the country
Is for strictly choice cnttle, so that the
commoner kinds sell at a low figure. This
week closed with a good ninny cattle In
the hands of speculators that will bo car
ried over until next week.
The demnnd for western grass beef steers
Is hardly as good as It was a week or ten
davs ago. Packers claim that the cattle
aro not killing out as well, but anything at
all good may safely be quoted as high as
$5.oo, with the commoner kinds selling from
$1.25 down. Choice range cows are about
steady for the week and are selling from
$3.60 to $4,00. Tho medium grades and can
ners sell from $3.00 down, or fully lOgiSc
lower. Choice stockers and feeders aro
steady, while others nre very slow and 15f'
25c lower. Sellers in n good many cases
have found it almost Impossible to dls.
pose of tho common and trashy stock.

HOCIS There was another llberAl run of
hogs here today, making the supply for the
week the heaviest In some time past and
nlso much heavier than for tho same week
of last year. All other markets were
quoted lower today, so that packers started
out hero bidding 10f15e lower. They failed
to got the hogs, however, nnd finally raised
their bids and bought the heavyweights
S'fnoc lower and the light hogs 10iil5c lower.
TI10 bulk of tho mixed hogs sold nt $5.65
and $6,674, and the choice heavy hogs sold
largely from $5.70 to $5.75. The light hogs
wero a drug on tho market and sold very
slowly. Packers did not cure whether thoy
got them or not, so sellers had to tako
what they could got. They sold all the
way from $5,624 down. The extremo close
wns hardly as brisk, but still practically
everything was disposed of In good season,
In spite of the liberal receipts this weak
prices Improved up to Thursday, when the
average coet was $5.81, which was tho
highest point reached bIiico November 4.
Tho declines of Friday nnd Saturday, how
ever, takes the market nearly back to
wbcro It was ut the close of last week.

SHEEP There were not enough sheep
and lambs here today to make n test of
he mnrket. For the week the supply
has been liberal, a good gain over the
same week last yenr tisvlng been made.
As compared with last week, however,
there Is 11 decrease, as will bo seen from
the tnhto of receipts above.
I he tendency of prices has been down
ward at nil points this week on both killers
nnd feeders. Fat lambs and sheep may
safely be quoted 25c lower than Ihey were
n week ngo. nnd In some cases the decline
Is even greater. Something strictly choice
might not sell quite that much lower, but
the general run of offerings has been
rather slow sale, with prices a good deal
lower than last week.
Feeder wethers have not nrrlved In very
largo numbers, so that the market Is not
more than 1Mi2Sc lower than It was a
week ago. 1-finili?, however, have come In
very freely iiiid prices broke about fO'
except on tho very best grades, old ewes
have been almost unsalable and prices are
now about $1.00 lower than they were at
the high time.

MEXtCO CITY. Nov. 2I.-The report of
former Senator Henry C. Davis to the Pau
Amorlcan railway committee of the Inter
oatlonnl couferouccs will be submitted to
the session of tho conference on Wednes
day next. Mr. Davis suggested that a
subcommittee be nppolntcd to study his re
port, but his colleagues would not bear
anything of the sort nnd adopted his report
unanimously, Mr. Davis says In his re
port that thero Is nothing Impracticable
nor visionary in the construction of the
road uor In the flotation of tho necessary
stock. He remarks that each of such sys
tems as tho Pennsylvania, tho New York
Central, the Atchison, the Northern Pacific,
tho Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, tbe.
Southern Hallway and others has a greater
mileage than in now necessary to assure
tho rcalliatlon of the Intercontinental rail
road, while tho bonds and shares outstand
Ing of each of such systems aro Iu excess of
tho sum estimated as necessary for the con-
wtructlou nf the railroad In nuestlon. The
ItiiHSlnn government hns Just, completed,
says the senator, a railroad through Sltu'rU
nt a cost consldeiably In excess of the
amount estimated as necessary for tho
completion of the American Intercon
tinental railroad, nnd In so doing has over
come greater natural difficulties than nr
to bo looked for In the construction of the
latter. Mr. Davis also refers to the great
trunk Hues built In recent years by Mexico.
In dwelling on tbe expediency of con
structing an Intercontlnt'iital railroad Mr.
Davis mentioned the fact that tonic of the
South American delegates In order to reach
Mexico for the present Pan-American con
ference had to mnke: the Journey via
Europe or New York. A letter mailed In
the United States for some of tho South
American republics goes first to Europe and
thence to Its destination. Mr. Davis esti
mates tho mileage of tho Intercontinental
railroad to be constructed at 5.000 inlles In
order to link existing systems and calcu
lates the cost nt $200,000,000, or at the rate
of $40,000 per mile. Tbe report terminates
with tho following recommendations:
Detail of the System.
First. That 11 railroad connecting nil, n
the greater part of llin nations represented
In the conference, will contribute power
fully to the development of the material
relations and Interests of the said nations,
Second. That the said railroad ought, ns
far 11s common Interests permit, to con
nect the principal cities situated along I's
route.
Third. That if the direction of tho rail
road cannot be chanced for. the nlil.et
stated In the foregoing article without great
inconvenience, tir.inciies siinuid ho bull t to
connect the chief cities of tho main lino.
Fourth, That In order to lessen tho cost
of work, existing rnllrnad be utilized as far
as possible and us far us. compatlbln with
the locution and purposes of the Intercon
tinental railroad.
Fifth. That nil the material necessary 'or
the construction and operation of the rail
road be declared free from Import duties,
while taking suitable measures to prevent
abuses.
Sixth. That property, real and movable,
of tho rnllroad, employed Iu construction
and operation of the road, be exempted
from all nat'onnl provincial state and
municipal tnvatlon.
Seventh. That tho realization of a work
of such magnitude deserves to bo encour
aged by means of subventions, land grants
or guarantees of minimum r.ilo nf Inter
est. Eighth. That the railroad be declared for
ever neutral In order to assure freedom of
trafllc.
Ninth, That tne delegates to the confer
ence recommend with nil possible earnest
ness to their severnl governments tho
granting of liberal concessions to the en
terprise. In such forms as mny appear
most sultnblo to each government.
The suggestion Is also matin that tho
T'nlted Stntes send a competent perron to
all of tho republics of America to study tho
resources of the several countries, the lo
cation nnd status of existing railroads'
present trade conditions, prospective traf
fic for the Intercontinental railroad when
built und tho concessions each government
would bo expected to grant.
COMPLAINS TO AMBASSADOR
Ctnylnn Iteftises to Intercede In tlr
hnlf of Menley In Mexico
City.
MEXICO CITY. Nov. 24,-Mueh attention
Is being given to the case, of W. II. Mealey.
an American miner who has brought com
plaint to tho American ambarrador regard
ing alleged ill-treatment by ofTlclals nnd
Judges In northeastern Moxlco. Ambassador
Clayton has followed the rase carefully In
all Its phases, Tho matter Is a complicated
one and a charge is made against Mealoy
that he Is In contempt of court for the sub
traction of papers In a mining litigation
which were part nf the court records. Theso
papers wero finally returned on demand of
the court and ho Is charged with having
willfully withheld papers which had been
turned ovor to him by his lawyers.
Mealey has been released on ball and
has appealed to tho federal circuit court In
this city and It Is expected tho matter will
soon bo haird. Mcnlcy's charge that ho
was confined n Jail at Monterey with mur
derers and thieves Is denied here. After
nn hour and a half in the general cell wllh
petty offenders, It Is said, ho was removed
to ono of tho offices of the command of th
prison nnd allowed to havo his own bod
sent to him. Letters from Mealey on file nt
the embassy show thnt be was grateful for
the kindness shown to him by the prlrou
ofTlclals. Mealey complained again that at
Cludad Porflro Diaz he was thrown Into
a foul cell, but tho United Stntes consul
at that placo has reported to the embassy
that tho cell was clean and as good as any
In thit prison.
Ambassador Clayton has, It Is claimed,
Incurred tho enmity of Mealoy and hln
friends because of the ambassador's rcfusul
to take alleged unproved charges to Pres
ident Dhfr. The ambassador says he could
not nsk the govornmont to ret aside tho de
cisions of the highest court of the land,
but whatever was possible to bo done to
aid Mealoy has been done.
Mealey claims that ho is menaced wit'i
being dispossessed of mining properly
worth several million dollars.
