MONEY MARKETS.
Financial Stringency in Worlds
Great Centres Revealed.
This Condition Had the Greatest lnflu-
ence in Wall Street Yesterday.

New York, Dec. 1-Today's stock
market was largely influenced again by
the state Of the foreign money mark
cts. Discount rates at foreign centres
Underwent a still further increase to-
day, and the accommodation of these
demands by American capital was ev-
idenced by an advance Of IA cent in
the actual rates for stringent ex-
Change by New York
The resumption of the process of
ioaning abroad promptly put a stop
to the demand for gold in London for
export to the United States. Engage
ments already made being Cancelled
and the subsistence of apprehension on
this account in London resulted in con-
siderable buying Of stocks in the New
York market for London account.
The continuance of a stringent re-
quirement for money in Berlin was
still shown by the withdrawal Of ST.
100000 additional from the Bank Of
England for shipment to Germany.
The weekly statements of the Bank Of
England and the Bank of France re-
yealed the fictitious character of the
recent easing of money rates in Lon
don and in Paris.
LII the CdS8 OF IiG FORMER IQefe Is a
loss in gold of nearly $4,000,O00 while
the pressure upon the bank for loans
on account of the rise in the private
discount rate had resulted in an in
grease in other securities of over $13-
900 The Bank Of France has lost
$3.50 900 in gold and a somewhat larger
amount in silver, while at the existing
bank rate the outside market had Dor
rowed $22.765,000 more than the loan
account of a week ago.
The revelation of so pressing a fin
ancial stringency in the worlds great
money centres suggests liquidation of
so drastic character as to give a nat
ural pause to speculation in all mark
cts. But though there was dullness in
the standard stocks in New York pri-
ces were very firmly held apparently
on the condition that money difficulties
abroad were in way to be worked out
satisfactorily, which is confirmed by
the retention of the existing Bank of
England rate.
Meantime speculation turned into
the channels of the industrial special
ties. There is a long list of these
Showing very material gains, but each
was influenced by individual causes,
either real or fictitious Sugar ad-
Nanced on the belief that the regular
dividend would be declared next week;
Rubber on the reported demand for
product; Consolidated Gas, on rumors
of impending consolidation of gas in
terests; linseed oil, on the report of a
plan for reorganization. and so on
through the list. The strength in Con-
solidated seemed to have a sympathetic
effect on gas stocks generally. In the
railroad list while prices generally ad-
Vanced, the number Of stocks to show
conspicuous strength was small.

The shipments of the Dold Packing COM
pany yesterday were, three cars from the

gone to about every part of the country.

the market was last given in this bulle-
tin: "A good demand from packers en-
abled sellers of hogs to make good bar
gains and prices ruled largely cents
better" The early market was given as
active and firm. The receipts fell off
about 5000 from Thursday. and there were
carried over 10.411. The estimated receipts
for today are q 600. At Kansas City the
receipts were 1865. Tho market was
quoted as lively and desirable lots selling
at cents higher. St Louis was quoted
as better with $500 in. Provisions were
burdened by liberal receipts of hogs and
moderate selling by packers. Trade was
dull and prices suffered from lack of spec
ulative demand.
W. P. Wright, a wealthy and we'll

Il young zOoman rescued in tie nick Of time from

desbahed Of savlng her.

On the verge Of insanity, Miss Hattie
King, Of Ithaca, N. Y, was checked IN
the course that was taking her rapidly to
the grave, and restored to her friends IN
sound physical and mental health and
fegainsd happiness.
The change for the better In this charm
ing young woman, not yet eighteen years
old, is SO great that when she reappeared
IN public her friends could hardly Believe
the evidence tina. their eyes clearly showed
them.
Miss King became greatly weakened
by a complication of physical troubles,
and was looked upon BY her friends and
family as one doomed to early death.
Her stepfather, Charles NJ. Burnett, tells
Of her strange cure as follows:
Hattie first complained Of dizziness,
which steadily grew worse.
"She suffered with nausea and attacks
Of vomiting; could keep bot little on her
stomach.
"Kidney disease attacked her. She was
pale, thin, and her blood, when drop was
drawn by the prick of a needle, was al
most as colorless as water.
Her heart was affected. She would
frequently faint from the slight sxertion Of
rising from bed or from chair.
"She ooughed continually, so that her
friends feared she was constructive.
"She lost flesh rapidly; would be con-
fined to her bed for two or three weeks at
time.

HOG MARKET WEAK
Quality Only Fair With
Average Run.
TOPS SAG TO $40
Cattle Market Steady With
Liberal Supply.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
cuotable as weak. There were some early
wagon sales and a car lot that were
about steady with Thursdays average
price. But on the whole the average run
ming through the day was weak. The vol
ume of receipts was about 100 under that
OF the day before and the quality was
not more than fair. The wagon hogs
which fell off IN receipts. was generally
poor, and the car hogs were only a shade
better in the main. The average weight
for the day was 242 pounds, pounds bet
Ter than Thursday. There were more ex-
Ira heavy hogs in both divisions of the
Grade than on Thursday, two cars being
1oS and part Of a car showing up 266.
Some of these heavier hogs, however.
were coarse and more or less rough. but
all sold readily. There was a good stiff
cemand for anything like passable hogs.
The fat butcher stock going at once. II
was an active trade and the transaction
went off with promptness and dispatch.
The business Of the day was wound up
early and all pens cleared of hogs More
lat hogs by twice as much would readily
have met with the same welcome as the
supply lacked considerable of reaching
the demand. The wagon trade was done
up earlier than usual and though the
seven cars offered came in some time
Sfter all local stuff had been disposed
of, II mostly came in in a bunch and
all sold up as soon as yarded. Dold took
in the slaughter hogs and was on the
market for double the number he re-
CeiVed. A better grade OF hogs would
have sold up higher, the high point load
beng an Oklahoma consignment weigh
ing 253 pounds. There was no want OF
enthusiasm and all interested remained
until convinced that no more were COM
ing It has been a good week on the
whole and today's receipts, If even a fair
Saturday. will make of the week an ag-
6regate very satisfactory. The demand
is strong and keen for fat hogs, and any
good hogs viii have no diiculty in receiv-
ing fancy prices. Good prices have been
the rule most Of this week, sometimes in
face Of lower markets elsewhere, and the
same stiff figures will continue to be the
portion for the right kind of hogs.
