ALL over The country the news Of the
serious illness Of Dwight l.. Moody win
be received with sympathy and COM
cern as though he was a personal ae-
auaintance. Indeed his circle Of per-
sonal acuuaintances was probably larg-
er than almost any other man you could
think of. while thousands more felt
that they knew him personally so iuti-
mate have been his talks 10 his audi
ences. And in every nook and corner
Of the land was his name familiar. II
il not surprising. though IL is nor the
less shock. that with the telriac
work Moody has done almost uninter-
ruptedly for years and the big revival

real leader In the recent year or so
even his splendidly endowed physique

NEW YORK STOCK REPORT
Digest of Exchange News-Mining Stocks
Metal Quotations-Wool Prices and
Movements = Grain and Pro-
duce-Review Of Trads.

New York, Dec 12.--The stock market
displayed a feverish tone as a conse-
quence of the shakedown of yesterday.
Although there was some belated liqui-
dation, prices were not without support
at any time, and where breaks were made
in values the character of the bidding al
the decline made 1T look as though the
manipulation for fall was FOR the pur-
pose of taking on stocks. There was
notable volume of commission house buy
ing, which indicated that outsiders had
been attracted by the lower level OF
prices. There were points in the indus.
trial list which displayed notable resist
ance all day. and during the later part
of the trading some positive strength.
Some of the sharp declines in the railroad
list, notably in the grangers. were attrib-
uted to shifting of holdings from that
group into some of the ndustrials The
grangers touched lower prices than in
the demonstration of yesterday and they
were practically the only stocks in the
list to do SO. That there is large and
aggressive bear party i'll the market was
evident.
Money at no time ruled over per cent,
and in the afternoon was offered down to
per cent The impression was abroad
that some very large individual operators
had become possessed of liberal supply
Of funds and were taking on stocks.
Traders generally turned to the bull side
and marked up stocks to the neighbor-
hood of last nights level and in some
instances materially above.
Prominent specialties showed recover
les from the low points ranging from two
to more than five points. Brooklyn Tran
sit and Metropolitan were notable in the
rally. In the railroad list the trunk lines,
the Pacific and one or two of the coalers
rose 1a to points, and Southern Railway
preferred rallied 21s points. After touch
ing 1885,, Sugar suddenly broke points,
near the lowest, and very much unsettled
the whole list. Reactions were confined
to fractions outside of Tobacco and
Brooklyn Transit and few other indus
trials. The closing was thus made irreg-
ular and with mixed net changes.
The action Of the directors of the Fed
eral Steel company in declaring the divi-
dend of per cent. on the preferred stock,
thus making the full per cent. of the
year, and clearing the way for promised
dividends on the common next year, was
not announced until the close of business.
but it explained the relative firmness Of
the iron and steel stocks.
Sentiment as to the future of the stock
market is still conflicting and unsettled,
in view Of the continuance of the factors
which have restricted the money supply
and led to the forced liquidation.
The bond market was less active than
stocks and prices were comparatively
steady. Total sales, $1,225O00.

ported to-day that they We're withdraw
ing their money from New York for the
purpose of loanning it abroad. Local
branches of Canadian banks have been
purchasing exchange freely of late and
one institution reported to-day that most
of the money would probably be sent to
London. where it could find profitable
employment. 1T was pointed out that,
with both markets Offering similar at
fractions, it was natural for Canadian
funds to seek British employment.
A week ago to-day Chicago exchange
on New York was selling at 80 cents per
$1,000 discount, which was nearly the
shipping point. Since then it has gone up
to so cents premium, or practically the
receiving point. These fluctuations were
referred to as indicating that the West

bids for money were under way.
Eight per cent. was the prevailing rate
for money on the stock exchange to-day.

ury for the transfer of 100000 to South

this lost Electricity. The only trouble
heretofore with electric belts and batter
les that the current did not penetrate

that. My Belt has soft slken, chamois-

can be renewed for any price and when
worn out is worthless.
