THE WEEK AMONG BROKERS.
An Outlook From the Present Finan.
cial Standpoint.

An Outlook From the Present Finan-
cial Standpoint.
New York, July 15.-The Evening Sun"
in its report of the financial outlook today
says:
with the opening of the week in the
stock market attention was turned back
ward upon the position of the associated
banks as it was revealed in last Saturdays
bank statement, and toward the close of
the week attention was directed almost ex-
clusively toward todays showing of aver
age balances. Both the retrospection of
Monday and the common expectations in
regard to today's showing caused declining
prices in the stock market. Though Mon
days weakness was much more pro-
nounced and was attended by much heavier
trading, there was subsequent recession in
prices. In the interval the stock market
enjoyed period of rising prices and active
trading, and the market closed with COM
paratively small price changes resulting
from the weeks transactions.
THE showing made by the banks last
week unquestionably came as great sur
prise to the ordinary speculator in stocks.
However much the statement may have re-
f1ected particular and transient circum-
stances, it at least showed that the asso-
ciated banks had reached a point where
their loaning power had been fully extend
ed and that 1t was necessary for them to
contract their credits. The fairly close
money market of the week shows plainly
that the banks have been following the
latter course, though at no time have dis
tressingly stringent financial conditions
prevailed and the time loan quarter Of
the money market gave scant reflection to
the furry in the rates for call loans.
''In view Of the general circumstances Of
the outside situation and the general level
of the stock market, 1t seems indeed that
the latter may most safely be looked !or to
furnish the main incentives to new specu-
lative' ventures for the remainder of the
year. The rise in prices since 1897 was
built out OF exceptionally favorable agri-
cultural conditions, cheap money, and
low level Of prices In the stock market.
Largely. out Of the first-named, aided
by the many fayoring circumstances of the
interval has grown the present active
trade conditions which have In part serv-
ed to cause money to appreciate while
stock market prices have also attained a
comparatively high level. But for the
glittering possibilities comprised In the
present railway outlook it might almost
be assumed that the causes and effects Of
the stock market situation have struck a
balance. The pending work of unifying
and consolidating the improvement which
has taken place in the railway situation
in the past two years contains, however,
not only substantial and permanent value
but further 1t may be assumed good deal
of speculative powder which has not as
yet been burned before as SO much of the
other speculative ammunition has BEEN

STILL CHASING SWIFT BEAR.
Indians Taking Advantage of TIL.
Absence of Regular Troops.

Pine Ridge, S. D.. July 15.-No reports
have yet been received from the several
posses of cowboys and Indian police who are
chasing Swift Bear and his Sioux braves
who defied Sheriff Demming at the point of
their Winchesters to arrest them for kill
ing big game The three posses in the
chase expect to head off the Indians at the
crossing of the Cheyenne River The In
dians are expected 10 make a fight and
serious trouble is apprehended as the re-
lations OF the Indians will resent any effort
made to kill Swift Bears men and hostili-
ties may be the result.
The Indians of both the Sioux and Chey-
enne tribes have been more or less i'm
pudent since the troops were withdrawn
from the Northwest, and they are well
aware in the event of an uprising that the
Government would be long time getting
regulars into their territory. Volunteers
would be of little value in pursuing hos
tile Indians in the Bad Lands.
The Pine Ridge Indian police are con-
sidered loyal, and will fire on Swift Bears
bucks il they do not surrender, regardless
of consequences.

Northeast Citizens Complaint.

A lengthy petition was lately received
by the District Commissioners and other
residents of northeast Washington relative
to the dust nuisance along Florida Avenue
between Ninth and Twelfth Streets north
east. The municipal authorities were asked
20 investigate the watering and sweeping
of the thoroughfare and see that some kind
of relief was afforded. The superintendent
of Street Sweeping, Warner Stutler, to
whom the matter was referred, states that
the street is sprinkled twice per day at
the present time which is the best poss bile
arrangement to be made with the money
available for the work. The Commission
ers will so inform the petitioners.

The evening times., 1899-07-15

The stock market this morning was bet
ter than had been expected by the general
public, showing a fair strength in advance
Of the bank statement, and recovering the
small losses in most cases after the state
ment appeared. There was undoubtedly
large realizing, which gave parts OF the
list weak appearance at times, but also
it was clear that there was good buying on
every recession. 1t cannot be determined
how much buying was manipulation, and
for the purpose OF making good opening
on Monday, but on the whole the bulls
are inclined TO be satisfied with the days
business. Transactions were not on a
large scale at any time The news OF the
Gay was satisfactory, and some of 1t most
encouraging, including a semi official pre-
diction as to the showing that st. Paul
will make for the year. The bank s.ate-
ment may be considered in another para

Secret Service Men Round Up n BO-
gus Money Maker.
New Brunswick, N. j., July 15.-Three
secret service detectives swno .have been
. looking for Louis Palermo, noted coun-
terfeiter. rounded up their man yesterday
at Deans, six miles from this city. The
detectives had been looking for Palermo at
intervals for the last four years. He was
connected with gang that passed good
deal OF silver counterfeit in Delaware four
years ago.
Palermo got away that time and started
out on his own hook in this State. The
detectives thought they had him once be-
fore when a gang of counterfeters was
captured at Jersey City, but this time there
was no evidence against Palermo. Recent
ly they got a clew that Palermo was Sc
creting in this section and they found that
he had bought farm of eighty three
acres near Deans Station. On Tuesday
they located him at the Black Horse Tav-
ern. They got plenty of evidence from a
country shopkeeper in that section that
Palermo and one of his farm hands were
circulating bogus half dollars and quar-
ters. good many of the coins reached
this city.
Yesterday the detectives came across
Palermo on the road. He had absolutely
nothing on his person, but in the cellar
OF his farmhouse, which is situated in the
middle of a field quite distance from the
road, they found good outfit of dies and
plenty OF evidence of counterfeit work
The detectives took charge of the outfit
Today United States District Attorney
Rice, of this city, was notified of the capt
ure and Palermo was taken before the
United States Commissioner at Trenton
and locked up. The prisoner is an Italian
and speaks English poorly. He is an ex-
cellent mechanic.

With a Handkerchief.

which is probably unique in criminal his
tory. was committed Thursday night in Tin
Bucket Alley, in Phoebus, when Minnie
Fargo, a mulatto woman, was killed, pre-
somably by a soldier, who was seen in her
company earlier in the evening. The dead
body of the woman was found in her house
shortly after midnight, and evidences of a
terrific struggle was manifested by the
fact that the woman's clothes were torn
into shreds, although there We're no marks
of violence on the body ITSELF
For time the officers were at a loss to
understand the cause of the woman's
death. The mystery was solved at the
post -mortem examination, however. The
physician who conducted the examination
noticed that the neck was somewhat swoI-
len. Forcing the mouth open he found
that a handkerchief had been forced down
the woman's throat until death ensued
from suffocation.
The coroner's jury, after hearing the
evidence in the case. brought in a ver-
oict in accordance Herewith. 1t is said
that there will be little trouble In locat-
ing the soldier, who was seen to enter the
house with the woman. The Fargo 1om-
an was a well-known denizen of Tin
Bucket Alley, which is filled with ques-
tionable resorts.

this way the reserve, although no larger
