ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, Nov. 30-The market for
STOCKS In wall street :oday hinged very
largely on the financial situation abroad.
berlin was again evidently the source Of
the pressure for accommodation. and its
urgent needs resulted In the sympa thetic
hardening Of the rates for money at Lon
to three per cent, The price Of gold bars
rose an additional fraction in London. but
gold to the amount Of $3,640,Oo0 was with
drawn from the Bank Of England. Of this

many. The engagement for the United
states was the outcome of ;he recent ten
dency toward lower rates for money at
foreign centers, which left so narrow
margin of profit on the Withholding of the
exchange which is constantly accumulat-
Ing al New York as a result of the con-
tinued heavy exports of merchandise that
the movement OF gold is necessary to meet
the obligations. The rise in money in Lon
don yesterday again affected the margin
OF profits on loans made abroad, and the
result was seen in a rise In sterling ex-
change In New York, rejecting a renewed
demand for investment In sterling, which

may be accepted as an admonition to the
money markets that they must pay good
rate of interest Il they want the use of
the credits established by this country's
favorable trade balance. Otherwise, the
activity of business al home and the needs
for financing enormous consol!da ions and

Will necessitate the calling home of these
credits. The effect of the tight money mar
kets abroad was 20 throw burden Of liqui-
alton on the local stock market, the inter-
national stocks, of course, showing the
greatest weakness. In view of the large
German holdings of Northern Pacific, it
was perhaps natural that this stock should
be the most acutey affected. But there
remains some feeling or apprehension still
over the relations between Northern Pa
cific and its competitors. The story re-
ported to account for the strength of Un-
ion Pacific, of q plan for the exchange of
Oregon Short Line stock for Union Pacific
common stock, indicates rather an aggress-

nation to an accomplished agreement, as
Oregon Short Line owns majority of

insuring an outlet for Union Pacific to The
northwest coast. The la ter strengt THIN the
market radiated from Union Pacific Su-
gar's strength was due to the rumors of
consolidation with the Glucose company.
Rubber stockS made the usual response TO
the prevailing gum-shoe weat ther. There
was strength also in few of the obscure
stocks. The rise in Manhattan
was unexplained. The declines were large
ly recovered. but the net changes of the
day were decidedly mixer.

A New White Lead Process

The Electric Review says that a plant is
now in operation in Brooklyn, n. Y, which
produces between five and six pounds of
white lead per hour by menas of electricity.
The process employs a solution of ammoni-
um nitrate and bi-carbonate, and produces
two pounds of white lead per electrical
horse power hour The product is perfectly
white and has body and covering capacity
equal to the best quality in the market The
process is continuous and requires no inter
ruptions for the removal of the product
The cost of operation depends exclusively
on the cost of electrical energy, the electro
lyte being continuously regeneratcd. This
process has the advantage as against pro-
cess previously mentioned that the ammo
mum salts used prevent the formation of
plumbites and plumbates, which, on being
reduced on the cathodes to spongy metal
lie, waste energy, besides spelling the pro-
duct

Frederic Made the Lieutenant Obey

Harold Frederic's self-contidencc and
power of dominating strangers stood him in
good stead in one OF his first visits-if not
his very frst--to Berlin. The incident, as
he related it, seemed natural enough to an
American not brought up in awe of mill
tary caste, but to those who knew Germany
it was almost surprising that he came
through it with his life. He had been pay
ing some formal diplomatic calls and in the
evening dropped in at the Cafe Bauer in
the unwonted glory of frock coat and tall
silk hat This hat was carefully hung on a
hat stand, and Frederic sat down to read an
English newspaper just arrived. Enter a
particularly fine specimen of the lieutenant,
booted and spurred and sworded and epau-
letted. He brushed against the hat stand,
knocked Frederic's hat over into the saw
dust, and staggered to his seat without so
much as looking around. The slight to the
hat was more than Frederic could endure.
In towering passion, he went to the
lieutenant, stood over him and pointed to
the object on the floor. "pick up that hat,
sir!' he roared. The officer stared amazed
the walters were paralyzed with terror at
hearing one so much more than human so ad-
dressed by civilian. "Pick up that hat"
repeated Frederic, in tone more menacing
than before And the lieutenant did what
he was told. He was as irresistibly dom
mated by the courage and force of the man
as a schoolboy before his master; or, per-
haps, he thought Frederic carried the Gus
tomary West American revolver.->

recommend that 10 per cent OF the duties

Swift Torpedo Boat DestrOyers the
Ideal Craft In Naval
Warfare.

WASHINGTON. March 1s.-The navy
department by no means has suspended
its efforts to obtain possession OF desirable
warships abroad. and in no direction is
there visible any relaxation of the stead
lily pursued purpose of the navy and war
departments to provide for the defense of
the country against possible hostile at
lacks. The formation OF the new squad
ron at Hampton Roads Is the latest mani
festation OF activity in this direction. be-
Ing the outcome OF the deliberations of the
strategy board which has been sitting al
most daily az the navy department for
some time past.
Another conclusion of the board which
il is desired TO put in force as soon as pos
sibie is that the navy must be reinforced
BY number of torpedo boat destroyers.
These are vessels OF about 800 tons dis
placement. and able 10 keep the sea almost
as well as cruiser. With the enor
nous speed OF thirty knots per hour, and
an offensive armament OF quick-fring guns
equal to the average gunboat. ii is said
that the power OF such craft is certainly
very Stedt. thal tHeS may
prove to be the idea. naval craft.
One distinguished naval officer. an ex-
pert in ordnance matters, expressed the
opinion today that two such torpedo boat
des;royers might anaihllate the biggest
hattleshlp in the world IL they stood ready
TO run the risk Of being sunk themselves.
All that would be necessary for them TO
do. he said. would be TO hold the battle
ship In sigh. during the daylight hours,
which they could DO easily. due TO their
superior speed, and when darkness had
come attack the hattleship from opposite
directions simultaneously at full speed
with torpedoes.
Such considerations as these have infiu-
cnced the policy OF the board TO recon-
mend the procurement Of as many OF these
boats as possible and as soon as possible
