Wall Street Yesterday.
New York News.

New York News.
Industrial securities fell off in value
nearly 800, 100000 yesterday be
tween 8 O'Clock and the hour fol
closing banking houses.
There seems to be no difference OF
opinion whatever as to the cause
The most conservative men and the
most conservative newspapers frank
ly confess that there is not II efficient
volume of money in circulation: that
the expanding business OF the country
has created a greater demand for our
established medium OF exchange than
can be met by the supply. LymanJ,
will Immediately deposit with nation
al banks $50, 100000 to $4,000
900 of government bonds. That is
to say, he will rush to aid these in
situations and sustain them tempo
rarily without interest and without
security.
The private individual who gets his
affairs in muddle must straighten
them out himself, but the banker,
being a sort of federal ward, seldom
calls upon Washington in vain.
1t is striking coincident a coinci-
dence which future generations will
point to astonished, that while Wall
street was in its most feverish condi-
ton yesterday bill was passed
by the house of representatives at
Washington looking to further con
traction of the currency.
Suppose at this season of the year,
while crops are still moving and
transportation facilities are made
uuate at best, we had two kinds OF
oak and the other half made OF ma
hogany. And then suppose that, on
the ground that mahogany ears are
the best cars, being composed of the
most valuable wood, and that the
American shipper is entitled to the
best that is going, that a dishonest
car should not be forced upon him,
railroad companies should send all
their oak ears to the Junk heap. 1t
is very likely that we would have a
car "stringency' in this country. that
mahogany ears would rise in value,
that freight rates would go up, and
that there would be the mischief to
pay generally.
And vet such course ON the part
OF transportation lines would he on
all fours with the policy OF congress
in creating a money pani: at this
time.

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.
Beleaguered Towns Still Uncaptured and
British Reinforcements in the Field.

The situation in South Africa has chang
ed but little since our last issue, but it is
changing gradually every day, and i'm
portant news may be expected before long.
The British forces outside of the beleaguer-
ed cities Of Kimberley and Mafeking in the
west and Ladysmith in the east are daily
growing, transports continually arriving,
and now reach in the aggregate beyond
25, 900 men. Some Of them have been sent
around from Cape Town to Durham for the
formation of a column TO advance to the
relief of Ladysmith, while others are be-
ing held at Cape Town or sent to one of
the two ports between there and Durham,
where concentration is to be effected.
II is evident that the first decisive move
will be in the direction of Ladysmith
The Beers have already, it is said, moved
to meet a possible advance from Durham
and are now menacing EStcourt, which
has been held by the British thus far as the
outpost for the relief work.
Meanwhile Gen. Sir Redyers Butler ap-
pears TO be devotrg his attention as well
to the organization of invading expedi-
tionS, to enter the Orange Free State from
the south, by way of DeAar, CoIesburg. and
Allwal North. All Of these points are now
in the hands Of the burghcrs, who drove
| the insufficient British garrisOns southwark
| from them shortly after the advance upon
Ladysmith.
All reports from the two invested cities
Of the west indicate that the Beers are
making desperate efforts at Mafeking,
where the fighting seems to be almost con
| tinuous. The reports, however, are un-
reliable, for they are mainly sent by Kaffirs
who supplement the written dispatches

There is no question but what in his individual
case the results were just as described and IL
seems quite probable that any man who believes
himself TO be weak may profit by sending for this
free prescription. Many people wonder how he
can afford TO send this prescription free, but it
costs him little to do so, and he feels philan-

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
IN THE PHILIPPINES.

A summary of the aggressive move
ment in Luzon continued last week. not
withstanding the handicap of extraordinary
rains and flooded roads.
Gen. Wheaton'S force struck the enemy
at San Jacinto and occupied the place after
a sharp fight. in which Mai. John A.
Logan was killed; Gen. Lawton continued
mis- pursuit of Aguinaldo; baggage belong
ing to Aguinaldo's wife and other members
of his immediate party was captured;
Gen. Macarthur pressed forward on the
railroad and completed repairs to the line.
Aguinaldo has not been found in person
so far. and it is generally believed he went
on to Bayombong. There has been much
desultOry fighting during the week, the
strongest force seeming to be intrenched
at PoZarrubio in front of Lawton's column.
1t would seem that any hope that Otis
may have entertained of surrounding a
large body of insurgents must have been
abandoned, as he reports the insurgents
as scattered, with only indefinite infor-
nation as to where they have gone, which
reports the operations of Lawton, indicates
q belief on the part OF Otis that the inSur
gents have been driven northwestward,
off the road to Bayombong. This town
is far to the northeast of tine country in
which Eawton is operating, but according
to the maps in the War Department, no
obstacles seem to exist which would prevent
them from reaching Bayombong from the
western country, WiieEe III - SllppOSeu
they have been driven.
The rapid approach of the Americans
was a complete surprise to the insurgents,
as the latter expected them to move slowly,
as they did from Manila to Angeles. The
Filipinos thought it impossible for the
Americans to make heaGway in the mud,
which prevailed everywhere.
Gen. Macarthur reached Bayombang
on Nov. 10, practically meeting with no
opposition He is now moving on Dagu-
pan. No reports later than this at this
writing have been received from Lawton
or Wheaton. Capt Leonhauser, with
three companies of the 25th U. s.. surprised
by night 204 insurgents at O'Donnell.
and besides taking prisoners the insur-
gents also took their rifles, 10000 rounds
of ammunition, and other supplies.
