The North River Bank In the Hands of
an Examiner.
New YORK, Nov. 12-Notwithstand-
ing the announcement early in the day
that the North River bank would tide
over it's losses of yesterday, and had
made satisfactory arrangements with the
clearing house, that institution closed
its doors at 2:l5 p. m., and posted the
following notice: "This bank is sus-
pended temporarily" All efforts to OBJ
tain further information from the Off
GERS were futile. The doors were locked,
and a number of depositors congregated
in front OF the building were much ex-
ercised over the sudden suspension. The
bank examiner has taken charge of the
bank.
The North River bank is member of
the clearinghouse, and operates under
state charter granted in 1912. 1t ap-
piled again today to the clearinghouse
for loan, and committee was on the
way to examine into the condition of
the institution, when it was learned
that it was in the hands of the bank
examiner, who is tonight over
hauling its accounts. 1t is stated
that the bank officials expect
to open for business tomorrow. he
cause of the present difficulty is simply
tight money. On account of the mem
tion of the North River bank as one of
the defauters at the clearing house yes
terday, the depositors started a quiet
but steady run on it this morning. The
bank stood out until 2:30, when it's
ready money was exhausted, and it had
to close its doors. 1t did an average
business OF $4,000, 900.

READ HER LETTERS.
A Woman Causes Her Husbands Ar
rest Because He Was Indiscreet.

Mrs. Mary E. Vertrees yesterday
caused the arrest of her husband Jacob
L. Vertrees by the United States author
tiles for having opened letter addressed
to her through the mails, on Nov. 9th.
The parties live at 12l1a Spring street.
Vertrees admits that he opened the let
ter, but that it was by mistake, as he
believed it was addressed to him, and he
says that as soon as he became aware Of
his error he handed the letter to his
wife, but Mrs. Vertrees alleges that he
knew the letter was addressed to her
and that he opened it to pry into her
business and her secrets. Jea ousy is
believed to be the cause OF the rumpus.
Vertrees was placed under $3.50 bonds,
pending his examination on the 25th be-
tore United States Commissioner Van
Dyke.

IN WALL STREET.
The Stock Exchange Opened With a
Rush and Yell.

Rush and Yell.
WALL STREET, Nov. r. When the
gong sounded for the opening OF busi-
ness this morning, on the stock ex-
change, there was yell and a rush.
Pandemonlum reigned. The galleries
were crowded to the utmost capacity by
a class which only visits the street in
times of great excitement. They pushed
forward for sight of the brokers, and
the most casual observer would have
seen that it was time of unwonted ex-
citement. The market opened stronger
than might have been expected, and
there was evidently hopeful view OF
the situation, despite the fact that early
London advices were not very favorable.
Trading from the start was simply enor-
NOUS, especially in Wizards and st.
Paul Several thousand shares were
sold under rule, completing the sales
begun yesterday. These were all in
Wizards and St. Paul, and it is believed
were fol the account of Decker, Howell
& Co. The general market declined
slightly from opening, with per cent
drop in Burlington. Wizards, however,
were strong.
The clearinghouse subcommittee

banks met at IL to issue certificates to
such as required them. However, there
was no public announcement as to what
banks were in trouble.
In view of the fact that London was
regarded as the main factor of the situa-
ton, it may be important to know that
bullion is being shipped from many
financial centers to that point. Hall a
million silver bars went forward today
on the steamship Saale. Cable advices
state that Russia has sent 100000
francs in gold, and will send 1000, 900
additional.
Progress of the Market.
10 :05 a.m.-The market opened ex-
cited but higher for the general list.
Interest seemed centered in Wizards,
and ON tremendous sales Northern Pa

A Relief Measure.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The secretary
of the treasury has authorized the as
sistant treasurer of San Francisco to re-
ceive deposit of funds from bankers
desiring to transfer the same by tele-
graph to the assistant treasurer at New
York. This is done to enable persons
in New York having funds in San Fran

them for immediate use in New York
The department also accorded this priv

The Stock Market Shows a
Better Feeling.
The Slump in Prices for the
Most Part Made Up.
Confidence Had in the Belief that
the Worst Is Over.
The Prompt Action of the New York
Clearing House Forestalls Great
Panic.
Associated Press Dispatches.

A1ooCihtcd I ICoo DiopdeNACe-
New York, Nov. 12.-The stock mar
ket today showed materially better
feeling, both in the street and outside,
and there was most gratifying confidence
displayed that not only was the worst
now over, but that improvement would
be quick and sharp. The action of the
clearinghouse committee, in coming to
the relief of the banks in difficulty, was
the means of restoring the confidence of
many, while improvement in the situa-
tion abroad was also powerful factor
to that end. Not only were active
stocks much higher all day long, but
inactive specialties, which yesterday
could not find buyers at any price, today
were taken at constantly advancing fig
ures, and the heavy slump in those
shares was in great measure made up.
The liquidation in Wizards is now
believed to have marked the culmina-
tion of the efforts to force complete
liquidation in the street, as those stocks
had resisted the force applied for a
much longer time than any other group
of stocks on the list.
A Change Tor the Better.
The impression is that now the whole
situation has been changed for the bet
ter, and that improvement in the condi-
tion OF affairs will be followed by higher
prices all along the line. There is to be
expected considerable selling OF North
ern Pacific securities and some others to
liquidate loans, as was witnessed today
but the market shows no pressure of
stocks, and offerings the past few days
have undoubtedly been taken by strong
parties.
Unfavorable Factors.
The unfavorable factors today were
continued sales under the rule, both
for account of the suspended firm
of Decker, Howell & Co., and for the
accounts of the two other brokers whose
suspension was announced during the
day. There were still rumors of further
troubles in financial circles, and the
North River bank went into the hands
of an examiner late in the day, though
the fact was not made known until after
the close of business.
Foreigners were heavy buyers all day
long, and the transactions for foreign
accounts were so large that the suspicion
that the late sales for London were for
short accounts was openly expressed.
Loaning rates for stocks have been very
high, and inquiry has been very urgent,
which would go to give color to the sus-
picion.
The report that Gould had acquired
control of the Union Pacific was used
for all it was worth, but that stock
showed no response to the story. North

taken freely, failed to advance with the
remainder Of the list, and was specially
sluggish in comparison with Northern
Pacific. The transactions in it, how
ever, were on an enormous scale and ag-
gregated about one-quarter of the total
business done in all securities. The gen.
era! list was very feverish, as was to be
expected under the circumstances, but
there was an almost continuous advance
in prices from the opening to the close.

THIRTY YEARS PRACTICE.
A Letter from an Eminent Physician.

Mr. EDITOR: At the risk Of indorsing pro-
prietary preparation, have a few words in
favor Of a new laxative principle. But first,
how came to discover it. A patient asked
about taking joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla As
sarsaparilas usually contain mercury or iodides
objected, and asked for the formula, which
finding purely vegetable, and so mild as to be to
my mind almost inert, consented. Imagine
my astonishment when perfect laxative action
was reported. 1t has two great points, First,
being purely vegetable, it is (unlike mercury
not cumulative in the system, being easily car
ried off by the digestive processes and second,
1t is effective with less quantity of the cathar-
tic principle than has hitherto been attainable
1t in this respect ranks as discovery, and ap-
proaches the ideal, viz: the least medicine con.
sistent with the greatest good. AS people take
laxatives Unfortunately, it is important for
them to know at least one that is safe for con-
tinuous use; hence this communication. The
natural laxative effects of this preparation must
for the reasons above. interest both the public
and the profession.

BABY'S SLEEP.

Sleep for the child is even more OF a vita,
necessity than for older persons, and its sleeu
would be more natural and healthier If it is not
rocked, according to a writer in "Woman,s
Work." The light should not be left burning at
night, for it deadens the atmosphere and sleep
is not as sound as in the dark. Walking with the
child, soothing syrups, teas and cordias, are all
bad methods of promoting sleep. Poor sleep is a
sure sign OF poor digestion and improper food.
Many poor tired mother will find that peaceful
sleep comes to her child, bringing rest to hersei,
II the right food is given.
Mrs. A. H. Stoodley, Rockingham, VT, has
baby whom she fed upon cows milk until he was
two months old He was so fretful that neither
child nor mother could sleep half of the night.
She then changed his diet to Lactated Food, and
since then has not been obliged to get up once in
the night with him, and he is as good baby as
can be found.
Mrs. Theo: Herbert, 111S DeKalk Ave, Brook
Ign, N. W, is to be enyied by many mothers
whose babies are fretful and "poor sleepers"
for her little one has never been sick day, goes
TO sleep at eight In the evening, and does not
wake until eight In the morning. This baby is
stronger and fatter than an older child who was
brought upin the good old fashioned-way."
A baby OF Mrs. j. ii. Wooster, Charlotte, Vt.
never slept well nights until Lactated Food was
used. The change In her was magical and she
now sleeps nicely.
If your little one is cross, peevish, fretful, and
sleeps poorly, change its food to Lactated Food,
and see how the good health brought by this per-
feet food will cause the little one to sleep all night
and wake up laughing.
