NBV YOHK , Nov. 12. Henry Clews , head
of tbo banking house of Henry Clews & Co. ,
writes :
The stock market continues In a somewhat -
what waiting attitude. Huylng Is held In
check bv money market conditions. Until
thesp become more fnvornblo any cxteii-
nlvo bull movement that may bo Inaugu
rated Is likely to meet with seilous re-
nlstnncc , As for the future of the money
market , funds are likely to return from
the Interior more nlowly nnd in less amount
than usual. Industrial nnd commercial ac
tivity Insure a good demand for funds
for lomo little time to come. Meanwhile
the treasury continues to absorb monjy ,
nddlng In general stringency , from whlc.i
the only relief in Bight H its return from
the Interior or the purchase of bonds by
the grivernment. ThU latter devlco Ins
been rosorteU to bcfnro to counteract the
111 pffpct of tin * trpasury operations ami
there Is no doubt Hint Secretary Gaga will
buy bonds when fondttlons fully warrant
doing HO. It Is useless , howpver , to cxp'cti
the secretary , who Is an awtuto financier ,
to undprtnko any method purely for the
benefit of speculative operations. In tny
opinion , a fnlrlv good Interest rate for
money Just now Is bencllclal , as It acts as J
a barrier ngalnst gold exports. The situa i
tion Is so unusually favorable In most ri > - j I
spectH that excessive speculation might 1
casllv be precipitated upon the country ,
which would mean n violent nnd perhnp ? I
prostrating collapse later on Stiff rates
for money are financial brakes and at a '
wlowcr pace the market can more safely i
rcsnond to bullish Inllllonces. Money I
Hhould soon begin to return , resulting in
rising bank averages No ulnrm need bo
fnlt should the reserve temporarily fall
below the legal requirements The safety
line Is ample enough to avert all danger
nnd the law IH so designed as to give the
banks sulllcltnt tlmo to HtreiiKthcn thplr
ri'selnes before the comptroller , who has
large discretion , can take action.
Kli-rtlniiM Hill.I.HMc in > ot.
The elPetlon-4 had llttlo effect. Their re-
BUltH , how over , wfro eminently satisfactory
to tlioHQ who believe sound money and
commercial expansion necessary for the
country's progress nnd prosperity. Of
course in the next national election Mr.
MclClnley and Mr Bryan will tiRulii bo
rival candidates That Is the natural se
quence of Tuesday's elections , but no sane
Individual has any misgivings about the
outcome. The admlnlsti.itlon has alrpady
been well sustained ; continued prosperity
will Htrcilgtlicn It.s hold upon popular Im
agination , and the discontent upon which
Jlr. Uryan'H fallacies chletlv thrived Is
now a thing of the past. Facts and cir
cumstances are against any serious revlv.il
of Uryantsm.
Hank clearings and railroad earnings
both emphatically lemlnd us of the phe
nomenal advances which the country is
making. Activity prevails In almost every
trade nnd In every section of the land.
New enterprises are springing un , some to
supply new wants , others to meet the great
demand for manufactured goods. The rail
roads are obliged to face Increased ex
penses , but advances In rail rates and
lieavy tralllc promise continued largo net
returns' ' , and the ranks of dividend pay
ers urd likely to be Increased. Railroad
securities still constitute one of the safest
forms of Investment and some of the low-
priced Issues iiro'llkelv to score good ad
vances during the next six months. The
Industrials are often making extiaordlnary
profits , but these cannot continue when
Increased competition begins and trade de
mands n.ssumo normal proportions.
An Important difference between the
former administration nnd the present one
Is that the previous ono had such a de-
plctcd treasury , uuo 10 continuous ua
times , that the government was compelled
to b6 u' ' constant Heller of bonds , while
the present out1 , due to good times previUI-
Ine , Ill's an excess of money In its ' -aults ,
the locking up of which Is retarding the
prosperous business of the entire country.
To admit of this money getting out of
the treasury- the government would cer
tainly be Justified In buying up some of the
very bonds that were sold during the last
administration , nnd ns the money paid out
therefor could be advantageously employed
by the American enterprising people. It
would doubtless be a. sagacious policy to
n.dojt , besides making the contrast a very
marked ono between the financial condi
tions of the two administrations.
Coiiiinerflal rind liidiintrlal Activity.
The low reserves of the New York banks
nro nn evidence of the commercial and In
dustrial nctllty of the country. As It Is
well known , tlo ) associated banks of New
York arc below the 25 per cent reserve
required by law. Thin very large reserve
Is only Imperative by law upon the na
tional banks. The banks organized under
the utate law arc only required to keep a
15 nor cent rservc.
Quito n nnmbpr of state banks nre in
the New York Clearing House associa
tion and by a rule of the association the
reserve Is counted at 23 ppr cent on all
the banks alike. If the stnto banks were
classed at 15 per cent and the national
banks at 25 per cent It would give the
latter an excess In reserve of the legal
25 per cent. There Is , therefore , nothing
to dlst'uib confidence in the last week's
bank statement , which showed the banks
to bo $ . ! 3S,350 below their reserves. The
money that hna "recently gone from the
New York banks has been needed for pay
rolls nnd pocket money , which In the ag
gregate was never HO largo ns now , and
applies alike to every section of the coun
try. The average amount of money car
ried In the pockets of people , estimated
at $5 each , which Is a comparatively small
amount , Is $375,000.000 , The New York
bank reserves , estimated at 25 per cent ,
now call for S1S8,900,000. The reserves ot
other largo cities nro about In the same
proportion. These Deserve funds represent
ho much money out of circulation. The
Mime. IH the case with the largo sum now
held by the TJnlted States treasury , the
amount being $2S9,207,805.
The present activity nnd high rates for
money simply glvo the opportunity for the
banks to loan funds out liberally , as It Is
through Interest raten that money is ob
tained for dividends lo the stockholders
of tlio Institutions , nnd ns the activity In
money at the present time Is caused by
prosperity they feel justified In putting out
nil they con , Thcro never was a tlmo
when It was safer to do It.

CATTLE -There were a few scattering
leads of cattle here- today , but a consider
able propoitlon of the .
receipts * was p.lcklns-
home stuff and not offered on the market.
Such cattle us were for sale brought thf
sumo prices as prevailed on yesterday's
maiket
rne cattle market lias been In pretty
good shape us regards the selling Interests
this week , as the tendency has been up
ward. The- packers have been very active
buyers of cornfed and grass beef and It Is
safe to say that the murktft on that kind
of cattle Is 15@20c higher for the we k.
Thcv receipts have been too light to meet
the requirements of packers1 , who have
been forced to ship up supplies from
Kansas City in order to till their orders
for the market.
Cows and heifers have been strong all
tht. week and are 1015c higher thnn a
week ago. All kinds of cow stuff sells
well , but there appears to be an active
demand for canners , duo In all probability
to the large purchases of canned meats
for use by soldiers In the. Held. Fat bulls ,
have sold well all .the week.
The week started out with stockers and
feeders a little stronger , but the market
closed bad on Mondnv and It was still lowtr
and very dull on Tuesday. During the
latter part of the week , asthe countty
llptnn MM Rf PTnnr ! tfm r\rr\\ nnrl n a # Vir
surplus cattle In hands of speculators were
disposed of , the market picked up and there
was .1 gain of 1015c In prices. At the close
of the week the. cattle are all cleaned up. So
that the situation Is decidedly favorable
for the sellers.
HOGS The market was a shade lower
than yesterday , the hogs selling largely
at $4 0004 02i4 , as against $4.02V4 M 05 yester
day. Considering that It was the last day
of the week , that Chicago reported a 5c
decline , with some hogs unsold , and the
day's receipts were liberal , It must be nd-
mltted that the market was In very good
condition at this point. Buyers were out
early and the pens w'ere soon cleared at
rirevalling prle.es. Out of the number of
hogs reported in there were seven loads
from Kansas City , consigned direct to a
lacker.
The hog market has not shown much
change this week , for whlla there have been
lluctuutlons , they have been so small as to
3e of little Importance. At the close of
last week tha avernge price paid for all
: he hogs sold on this market was $4.02. On
Monday the market was a little weak and
the average price was Ic lower. On Tues
day It recovered the. loss , and on Wednes
day gained another Ic. On Thursday there
was an average advance of 3c , which was
! est the day following , so that the week
closed about where it opened. Packers have
Seen good buycis all the week und nppear
to want a good many hogs at current
prices. As a rule sellers have been well
ilensed with the market.
SHEEP The market was practically bare
of fresh receipts , as there wns only one
load reported In and not enough to make
any test of the market.
The sheep market has been In exceed-
ngly good shnpo this week , nn the demand
das been keen and packers have snapped
up arrivals of desirable fat Bluff. In short
order. As to prices. It hns been a good ,
strong market all the week on killers , so
that each days' arrivals have met with
ready sale at prices entirely satisfactory
to the sellers. As compared with Other
markets , prices at this point have been
very high.
Desirable feeder wethers and good breedIng -
Ing ewes have been In good demand all the
iveek , but feeding lambs nnd old ewes have
joen slow sale , the demand for that kind
bplng light.

How the Preliminaries of n Pokrr
( inme Excited n Yellow Journal.
When the report of the Board of Inquiry
on the blowing up of the Maine , relates
a writer In the Pathfinder , arrived In Wasb-
ngton after Us mysterious trip from Ha
vana to Key West , to the mainland , and
so on to the capital , accompanied by the
excited Interest of the whole United States ,
ono of the most conspicuous of the yellow
ournals contained next morning u graphic
account of the historic Incident , which wan
no doubt read with breathless Interest by
nllliona of subscribers. The story told In
detail how the officers carrying the precious
burden left the train accompanied by a
guard of marines from whoso pockets pro.
ruded the butts of many naval pistols and
n whoso belts could bo seen the hilts of
many ugly knives. Then a dramatic ac
count was given of how the Jealously
guarded burden was rushed to a hotel , then
o the residence of Secretary Long , where
an eager consultation wa held , and then to
the house of a United States senator , whose
jowerful machinations within the repub-
lean party have long been food for the op
position newspapers. The climax of the
itory came with the statement that a mys-
teilous man emerged from Ihe senator's
house , Joined the armored soldiers In charge
of the document , when all drove to a cer
tain house nt Mount Plea ant , a suburb
of Washington , where they remained until
he yellow Journal went to press , and where ,
presumably , It left them. The whole nffalr ,
be report said , was shrouded In deep , dark ,
mpenetrable mystery ,
The truth of this whole story Is that when
ho Important document was taken to tbo
lotcl It wag left there by the orders of Sec
retary Long , who said he would officially
receive l ( the next day nt the Navy depart
ment. The visits to the senator's house ,
and later to the suburbs were merely the
> rellmlnarles of a little- poker game , to
which the reporter of tbo yellow Jounul
was not Invited.

great were the charms of the gracious lady
at whose feet the admiral , returning in

laid his heart.
Wisdom In wooing equal to his skill In
war the admiral has surely displayed , for
the future Mrs. Dewey , Mrs. Mildred ( Mc

ing all persons Immediately at ease , and , as
ono of-hor friends sa > s of her , "making them
perfectly satisfied with themselves. "
Her manner Is engaging. She Is a
brilliant conversationalist , nnd talks Inter
estingly upon all subjects , having n wealth
of Information , to which she adds a charm
ing touch of humor nnd originality. She tells
a story well and Is equally quick to appre
ciate and enjoy any amusing Incident nt her
own expense.

stylish to a marked degree , and dresses nl-
wojs In exceeding good taste.

For afternoons she usually wears , with altlrtfl
of the soft crcpo effects , black nnd white

library and spend hours poring over book * ,
