NEW YORK. November 1S.-The nota-
BILE thing in to-day's stock market was
the small range Of prices, considering the
extent Of tho activity and the wide dis
tribution Of the dealings. There was a
continuous demand during the whole OF
tho two-hours' session. The demand was
fed with constant supply. which looked
like realizing, and which held the market
back from any advance. but which was
discontinued ON any signs Of reaction.
The absorption Of Baltimore and Ohio.
preferred continued on large scale, and
lifted the stock a point. Sugar was also
notably strong. as were the local Trac-
ton shares and some Of the metal stocks.
Glucose rose 5-S. The large advance IN
Sugar invited active realizing. and Balti-
more and Ohio was affected 10y the same
cause.
SLIGHT HARDENING.
The bank statement was followed by a
slight hardening at points, but this did
not last and the market closed easy az
mixed net changes. The recuperatiOn in
the proportion OF bank reserves is almost
wholly due 20 loan contraction. The sum
of over 100000 which has been paid 20
the market by the Sub-Ireasury IN the
last three days for bond redemption,
seems TO find almost no reflection IN the
statement. ON the other hand, the SHOW
exaggerated as that process came early
in the period covered by the state
ment. and so figures in the ave
rage for the week. The banks have been
lenders during the latter part OF the Week
of sufficient sums 10 largely onset INC
earlier contraction. While the statement

us feet sometime in March, and that
since that time they have been maxi
ing preparations to drill 1t to the
Berea grit. They allege that the de-
| PENDANTS, owners of the farmA knew

der the lease and that all the machin-
cry, rigs and other material necessary

stated has remained on the farm and

ond paper be enjoined from operating

He had eaten his supper at IL o'clock,

1t was long after midnight when the

continued to ring. but the doctor did
not hear 1t. At the other end OF the

to answer II and stop the ringing. He

HIDDEN IN PErTicoATs
Vast Wealth OF . Woman Sewn Up
In Her Clothes.

AZ AAUN (A9hAACos
Quite a sensation has recently been
caused at Jassy, in Roumania, by the
death OF q Nine. Balsch, who has. by
her eccentricities, for years past. at
tracted much attention in that town.
Some years ago she was the wife OF
Herr veldiman, by whom she had a
daughter. After year or two of mar
ried life she divorced him and married
Herr Balsch, by whom she had a
son. Soon after the latter's birth she
left her second husband.
She then went to Paris, where she
called herself Countess Won Balsch.
Toward her children she never seemed
to feel anything but the greatest ha-
tired, and when her son died she sent
the body to his father for burial. She
turned her daughter out OF her house,
and the unfortunate girl was only kept
from starvation by the kindness of rel
atives. After the death of her second
husband she returned to Roumania,
where she lived in complete retire
ment.
In spite of the fact that she was ex-
tremely wealthy she lived In the most
wretched manner, and was generally
reputed to be a miser. A few days ago
she died. When her daughter came
to examine her belongings no trace OF
money could be found In going
throu. b der mothers clothing, how
ever, she noticed that one of the petit
coats seemed somewhat stiff, as II
heavily lined. She ripped 1t open and
found over 100000 notes sewed under
the lining.
This put her on the track, and all
her mothers petticoats, of which she
had an enormous number, were exam
ined. In nearly every one large sums
OF money were found. amounting all
together to between 100000 francs
and 100000 francs.-Fremdenbla
