SPECULATION STRONG.
The Rise i'm Stocks Due Strong Hold
ers and Short Interesta

New York, Dec. 3-Bradstreet's Finan-
cial Review tomorrow will say: "a much
more active and at times a decidedly
strong speculation has been seen this week.
The market has been apparently under
bull leadership of a powerful character,
and while the outstanding interest was
forced to cover a considerable volume of
fresh outside buying was attracted by the
movement. Though commission houses were
more prominent in the transactions than
for some time past, the general opinion of
the street credited the rise to operators
who found that stocks had passed into
strong hands and did not come out under
manipulative pressure, there being at the
same time a considerable short interest
in some portions of the list.
circumstances also favored a bullish
demonstration at this time, the belief that
the Presidents message would take
grounds as to both Cuba and the cur,
rency satisfactory to financial and bust
ness interests being a factor of consider
able Importance The generally good
character of current railroad earnings and
the exceptionally gratifying showings
made by certain companies for October
notably by the Pennsylvania-has also
been a leading factor.
THE bond market has also attracted no
small share of attention, and great ac-
tivity has been displayed in a number of
speculative issues while the most stable
class of securities are influenced to some
extent by reports of coming refunding OPP
erations by several companies.
ut may also be mentioned that the de-
mand for high-grade investments and
municipal bonds is steady. that foreign
offerings of such securities are readily alb
sorbed and that in a number of cases the
bonds of American municipalities are sell
ing at the highest figure on record.
1.-The steadness and advance in foreign
exchange has attracted great attention.
Nor was Wall street disposed to take much
account of the continued selling of our
stocks by London on a small scale. In
fact, the supply of Americans there is
said to be practically exhausted"

proves the Demand.
New York, Dec. 3.-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will says: General trade through
out the country has presented rather more
animation owing to the colder weather and
the approaching holidays. While clothing,
dry goods, hats, shoes and notions, hard
ware and fancy groceries have been in a
little better demand from both jobbers and
at retail in the region tributary to Chi
cago, st. Louis, Omaha, ST. Joseph, st.
Paul and Kansas City, the tendency of
business has been to slacken. This is no.
ticeable in iron and steel and in further
depression in cotton goods. Print cloths
have made a new low record in price.
The appearance of a better demand for
filling in purposes has had a favorable an
fluence at points in Tennessee and the Gulf
states. On the Pacific coast the improve
ment is we'll maintained.
The decline in print cloths is followed
by a sharp reaction in wheat and lower

Desperate Fight with NegrO-A
Postmaster Sentenced.

Postmaster Sentenced.
Macon, Ga, Dec. 3.-Pouceman Jenk-
ins had a desperate fight with an escaped
negro convict this morning, which resulted
in the breaking of the negro's left leg be-
low the knee. The policeman saw the ne
gro concealed behind a tree and going up
to him discovered a well filled crocus sack
on his shoulder. An examination showed
that the articles in it could not have been
gotten honestly at that hour, and the Off
Ger told the negro to march in front of him
toward the barracks, whereupon the negro
whipped out a pistol, but the officer shot
and broke his leg. After falling to the
ground the negro made another effort to
fire, but the policeman disarmed him. He
was carried to the city barracks and was
recognized as Hamp Johnson; a noted des-
sperado, who escaped from the penitentiary
where he was serving a term of twenty
years.
T. w. Hodge, postmaster at Yonkers,
Ga, was sentenced to three years i'm

instead of sending il, he appropriated it
TO his own use. The evidence was posi-
tive and his counsel made no effort to dis
prove it, but contended that the money

Surely this comes home to every one,
for we all consume more or less meat
and milk. We do not wish to create
any undue alarm, but personally we are
very much awakened concerning this
important subject, being conscious OF
the fact that the disease exists at an al
arming extent through this section.
We are not one that would advise rash
measures, still on the other hand
l would hardly consent to cOmprO-
mise with a disease so dangerous
and fatal. Far back in the history of the
world restriction has been placed upon
animal diseases that menaced human
life. tuberculosis was then known by
another name. Today we have little 81
no protection and we uncOnsciOusly
consume that which later proves the un-
! recognized cause of consumption. 1t
might be well to say here that no one
has consumption without first having
taken the living germ of the disease into
the system. Now If meat and milk do
contain the germ, (and they do to an
alarming extent) is not the danger ap-
parent to all. What protection have we?
In meat we have our inspectors also the
protection of heat in cooking and in milk
little or no protection, 1t can be boiled
and ought to be. Then milch cows
should be carefully inspected by one
qualified, applying the tubercOline
test, which consists Of injecting
two cubic centimeters of tubercoline
hypOdermically. This is recognized as
being perfectly reliable, as means Of
discovering the disease where external
symptoms would mislead. It is perfect
ly safe as the tuberculine contains no
living germs.
