Dealings In stoiVs laal week contracted to a dally average or but little more than 1.000,000 hares ut the New York Stock exchunge, compared with the average of upwards of 1.600.000 shares a day for the week preceding. Coupled with thla diminution in the activity of the market there grew up a degree of uncertainty In the price movement In contraet with the uniformly trout upward movement which had pre vailed nine the presidential elections. These facts regtatered the soberer view of the proepect for enhancement . of value growing out of the Improvement In business and financial conditions and the apprehension that the speculative pac had bten overrunning Itself. There Is no trace perceptible here of any fears for the ultimata prospect for Increase of prosperous conditions. The convic tion remains unaltered that the situation la adjusted to a steady resumption of business and Industrial activity In all lines. It is believed that In the dis counting the expected Improvement In the stock market speculation and In the weakening of the technical position of the stock market by that process that the sources of dlstruat have been found. In ore or two fields of Industry there Vera signs of danger that the speculative cnlhiiKlmni was outrunning the present condition, alao. Curb to Overapeeulutlon. The substantial financial elements among it the bankers and large capital ists were Inclined to votca a warning against this tendency and tp deprecate an attempt to enter upon a sudden boom of Industry And business and threaten ing unhealthy accompaniments which might endanger the permanence of tho betterment. It was the well-Informed assumption In the financial district that It was from such sources that the sup ply of securities tor eale came which put a check on the advanclng course of prices and led to the later reduction. Ac cumulation of stocks by Interests with extensive Information and tiabtt of lead ership In affairs began early In the sum mer In anticipation of the coming re vival. The restoration of general con fidence which followed the elections .brought Into the market a miscellaneous tplemand which afforded a medium for 'distribution of these accumulations at large profits. The process waa pursued with skill and- caution and undoubtedly with manipulative accompaniment In the stock market. Another Incentive to con version of stock holdings Into cash Is tho preparation for largo Issues of new capi tal which are coming out. The ranama canal bond Issue of the United States nniitiii. the New York City bond Issue, a Coresn-Japanese loan ind an Indian loan In Ixindon are cases In point. Many Band lasaes Coming. The Illinois Central bond Issue and I PI llipplne railroad Issue In New York are the preliminaries to a long line or im norUnt applications for new capital from railroads which are locked for In the New York market. These Issues are applied for with avidity as they are offered and this evidence of the large supply of capital available makes one of the most Important fsc-.ors toward the revival of the situation. Tho tr.r.sf-r of capital out of holdings of older securities at the present high prices Inir the newer Issues at more attractive prices Is, however. Inevitable. New capital Issues and Increased needs of a commercial activity are expected to absorb added amounts of money and crtclts. The money n arket Itself has shown but alight effect from thcee In fluences. The previous wetk's hardening f time money rates has given' place to cine reaction. Tlist trade hrtweon Manchester. England, and the ITtted States Is better each sue- slve month. Is shown by figures prepared by Major Church Howe. Amcrkan consul In that manufacturing city. How bad Manchester's trade with the states has been can be seen by sn exami nation of the monthly declared export te- turns, compiled by Major Church Howe, the American consul In this city, says the Manchester Dispatch. In the montha of July, Auguat, September and October, the shipment of goods from the consular district of Manchester to the states and the Philippine Islands has been1 leas by 403.937 than during the correspond, ing four months last year, as shown by the following slatement: July. 1907 July, im , Difference. .

It will he noticed, have gradually been getting less, until last month the export!) were only down 55,477 9s lid. Cotton-made goods have been largely re sponsible for these large decreases, though other wares help to swell the volume. That the decrease will be wiped out within the next few months Is fully be lieved by Major Chuich Howe, who told a Dally Dispatch representative that already since the result was known one American firm In Manchester had purchased In the Manchester district and shipped to America some 15,000 worth of goods. Merchants In the states, he explainer!, have been waiting to see whether Mr. Bryan or Mr. Taft was returned, because of the effect the result would have on the tariff. Mr. Bryan's party practically stood for free trade, as the tariffs they advocated were so small, while Mr. Taft's supporters, though advocating a revision of tariffs, were still believers In protection. Under these circumstance It could easily be seen that a merchant would rather de plete his stocks than run the risk, of a contingency he knew not of. The election fever, which had Interfered with business a good deal, was now over. The "firm was at the old stand." and the country waa now settled for four years. The prospects were bright for British trade. KNIGHTS ARE COMING IN Pythlana to the Number of Six Thou and Are Kxpeeted to Attend Celebration.

CHICAGO. Nov. 12, The mysterious bomb-thrower, who for two years has eludvd and pussled the Chicago police, to night threw a bomb on the roof of a build ing occupied by John D. Gaxiolo's saloon In West Madison street. Although no on wt injured, part of the root was torn out, windows were broken and the report was heard for blocks. People In adjoining build ings. Including fifty women In a charitable Institution, rushed frantically to the street. This Is the twenty-sixth bomb which the culprit has hurled at alleged gambling re. sorts. As has been his custom, the thrower called up a newspaper office to make public the fact of the explosion. "Have you lteird that Qaszolo's place has bten blown up?" he said. "It Is a wreck and I Just saw ambulances going there." - Tli police endeavored without avail to traie the man by calling out the owners of nearby telephones. The owner of the saloon asserted thst no gambling had been going on there and the police, as In pre- vlous Instances, reported the explos.on to hate teen caused by a giant firecracker.

Nov. 82 (Spe cial. ) Arrested for grand larceny, ln- oiciea oy a grand Jury, the foreman of which was her husband -to-be. sentenced io a term In the penitentiary, paroled and Saturday pardoned by Governor Cum mins are the facts In the peculiar expe- rience or Mrs. R. W. Hughes of this county, who waa formerly Rose Daw- Son. The facts of the marriage, which had been kept secret for several years. was made public today when the pardon was received here. IA 1903 Rose Dawson, who waa then a domestic In the employ of Mrs. Frod Mopklns. stole rings and jewels from the Hopkins home of a value of 1100. She was arrested In Peoria and returned to this city. R. w. Hughes of near Luray was the foreman of the grand Jury that inaictea ner. After her Indictment, when the grand Jury was making Its annual Inspection of the Jail, Hughes met the Dawson girl, who was but 19. while he was past 10. The girl was tried anJ convicted and sentenced to three years In the Anmiius penitentiary. Later she was paroled by Governor Cummin. The Impression she had made on Hughes, when the grand Jury visited the Jail, was lasting. The acquaintance under the pe culiar circumstances developed into an Intimacy. Then Hughes sold liU farm and left the atate. Less .than three months after the girl waa paroled. It developed today, she and Hughea were married. They kept their marriage a secret until today, when they were happy to announce It now that the girl has been pardoned.

There Is no program arranged beyond the meeting tomorrow, and members generally expect that comparatively little work will be undertaken during the approaching ses sion of congress. The members have seen enough since the commission came Into existence to justify Ihe conclusion that a work of the magni tude of that undertaken must be proceeded with most deliberately. The subcommittee, consisting of Benators AldrleH. Hale. Knox and Daniel, and Rep resentatives Vreeland. Overstreet, Overman and Padgett, which visited Europe In be half of the commission, will report the re sult of Its Investigations In Iondon, Paris and Berlin. This report will consist In the main if printed copies of the testimony taken In those centers. No recommendation will be made. The committee which was designated to conduct certain branches of the Inquiry In the United States has been giving attention to the administrative fea ture of American banking and will make some recommendations looking to Immedi ate changes In the law regulating the gov. ernmental supervision of national banks. Present Indications are that the full com mittee will accept these suggestions. 'Before presenting a final report the com mission will hear the testimony of a num ber of American financiers and will also make thorough Inquiry Into the Scotch and Canadian banking systems. New Counterfeit Bill. Chief Wllkle of the secret service today announced that a new counterfeit $o cer tificate (Indian head) has been detected In circulation, having first made Its appear ance In Providence. R. 1. The counterfeit note purports to be one of those author ized by the act of August 4. 1888. series of 1?99. check letter D, face plate No. 2. back Plate No. !, with portrait of Onepnpa. The officials declare It Is a dangerous Photo-mechanical production printed on one Piece or heavy bond paper, but a defect In the plate gives the Indian chief a cross eyed expression. The blue seal closely approximates the genuine in color, but Is badly printed, being coarse and rough, with many broken lines. The back of the note Is a very deceptive piece of Work and ex cept tor ' being lighter In color, appears mucn like the genuine. In the sample furnished Chief Wllkle there appears to have been no attempt to Imitate the dis tributed silk fiber. A new counterfeit $5 United States note also has been discovered. It purports to De one authorized by the act of March S, ibbj. series or 1907. with a portrait of Jack son, check letter D No. A B0.'47178. Till spurious production is a straight photo graph with the seal and denominational design on the face of the note touched up wnn coior and the back painted a muddy green. Chancres on Battleships.

DID COBBLER LEAPE M0NEY7 Question Arises Over Remnrlc Made by Edward Pplndler Before Death. That Edward Splndler. the old German cobbler who was found dead In bed In his room at 1823 North Twenty-fourth street Saturday afternoon, has a small fortune hid In his room or shoe shop Is thought by Velghbors and other persons who knew him to be a possibility. This morning after the coroner's Inquest, which will be held at 10 o'clock. It Is pro posed that the coroner's Jury vlflt Swind ler's plnssSi t9 residence and- bMetnn and try to find any money or valuables that may be hid away. A recent remark by the old man to the effect that he would like to go to a hos pital for treatment and had money to pay for It, Is the foundation of the Idea that he may have left some money. His ac quaintances say that he used to be most saving In his purchases of food and tell of how he would buy only 3 cents worth of sauer kraut, or a nickel's worth of bologna at a time. Other persons who live near where Splndler roomed, say that he had expressed a strong distrust of banks, so it Is thought that he must have some money hid among his possessions, as he earned more than a living at his trade of shoe repairing. Saxonla lodge, an organization of Ger mans, will have charge of the funeral, which will take place at the Heafey under taking rooms, 218 South Fourteenth street, Monday afternoon at' 2 o'clock. Interment will be In Laurel Hill cemetery at South Omaha. It is said that Splndler had rel atives In this country, but their names are not known by his local friends or fellow lodgemen. Even If It Is found that he left any money, the expenses of his funeral will he borne by the Saxonla lodge. In ac cordance with Its constitution. DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUND Socialists and nsdlrals ee thnt Only Hope In "nrresa Is to Refuse to oe Money to Ron the t.o ernmen t. BERLIN. Nov. ii. -The debate In me Reichstag on the motions Introduced hj the socialists and radicals, demandini changes In (he constitution, with ins odjcci of making the chancellor and ministers re sponsible to Parliament, and giving the mMo power to the Reichstag to declare war. will probably begin on December 2. The de bate is expected to last one day, or two days at the most.' The advanced liberals, whose aim Is to convert the German political system Into a government resiionslble to Parliament, do not anticipate much from the present Reichstag because 111 the days when feel ing ran the highest tho parly leaders would not agree to urge even the simplest resolution of censure or Inquiry. The rad icals and socialists count upon making their first great campaign In the elections of 1913, unless the house Is dissolved sooner. The power of tho associated monarchies forming the German empire is entrenched In two principal"- ways In the Bundrsrath, which has equal legislative powers with the Reichstag, and In the conservative and clerical parties, which have, under the an cient system of the Reichstag electoral dis tricts, the means for holding the majority In that body by about one-third the vote cast.
