Higher Prices for Stocks Induce
Harder Tone in Money.

Harder Tone in Money.
NEW YORK, Oct 27.-Bradstreet' tomor-
row will say:
A fair degree of activity and enlargement
or interest in speculation accomplished a
further, though irregular rise in prices this
week. This movement was partly based
on recovery of the London market. which
In the early days of the week discounted
the possibility of a speedy ending of the
TranSvaal war by a sharp advance in
which American rails shared the honors
with Kaffr mines. The somewhat easier
tone of money eased speculation and con-
siderable relief was experienced when it
was found that the recent rise in foreign
exchange rates. was due largely to excep-
tional transactions in securities and that
no gold was likely to be shipped to Lon
don
The increased activity in stock prices on
the succeeding days since last Monday
was accompanied by a harder tone in the
money market, the rates rising to above
per cent, and on Friday afternoon touched
10 per cent This was accompanied more
over, by evidences of discrimination against
industrial collateral by the banks the cop
per stocks in some instances having, it ap-
pears, been rejected in bank loans, which
can readily be understood in view of that
class of securities. Yet the stock market
was to all appearances more impressed by
the talk of a speedy return of money from
the interior to New York and ii might be
observed that large bids were received for
the 81, 100000 of New York City 312 per cent
bonds which were offered this week, the
average of the bids being over 1O7
The money situation was also Influenced
by the favorable statement of the Bank of
England and the further decline of dis
counts in London. The interest rates
therefore, did not materially check the bull
lish feeling, though the Industrial stocks

Grave Charges Against FusiOnist.
TALMAGE, Neb., Oct. 27-(Special. THE
record of c. p. Lloyd, fusionist candidate
for treasurer of Otoe county, was made the
subject of an investigation during his pres
ent term by j. A. Simpson, state examiner Of
county treasurers, who reported a number of
irregularities. The total cash on hand
which the state accountant was able to dis
cover. amounted to s117,776.79. The balance
shown to be due by the books was s119 ,2S5. .63,
leaving balance not accounted for in favor
of the county of $1,50S.S4 AS an offset for
this discrepancy Mr. Simpson reported to
the county commissioners that the fusionist
treasurer was carrying certain items as
cash, which the examiner could not allow.
These alleged credits consisted of memoranda
of loans advanced to private parties, one
real estate mortgage, claim for clerk hire
and several tax sale certificates.
The accountant also criticised the lack of
promptness evidenced in the bookkeeping.
