Pacific Mail was one of the Strongest
stocks on the list all day. It declined
nearly TO 40. but closed small fraction
above II. The strength of the stock is TO
be traced to bullish statement put out
by one of the Wall Street news agencies
and supposed to be semi-ofIlcial The
statement is to the effect that the October
earnings of the company will be largely
increased on account OF the profitable leases
OF six of its ships TO the Government The
rental OF these ships viii be 5000 900 per
month. 1t will be remembered that the
immense earnings Of Pacific Mail during
last year were due largely to Government
contracts. Another most important state
ment in the story referred TO is to the ehe t
that the company is now in entire harmony
with the other Pacific steamship concerns
so that rates are maintained and even ad-
yanced. it is said in another quarter that
the dividend Will be paid on the stock un-
guGstiOnably.

The other recent stumbling block, Ameri-
can Steel and Wire common, was in fine
form yesterday. showing great strength
all day, and closing only a trifie off despite
the weakness of the general market
Rumors of various kinds were floating in
the street, among them one from an eX-
cellent source" that the Wire people are
to enter an alliance with the Carnegie con-
cern. Talk of a probable advance of the
stock to 55 was heard, but it is not likely
that traders generally will care to buy
it on any such rumors.
Federal Steel common went off badly,
but closed at SO with good part OF its
loss regained. Tennessee Coal and Iron
was fairly strong and active. closing at
116 SIS. AS to the latter company buIish
gossip IS quite as prevalent as it is re
lating to Wire, and in this case ii is more
easy TO believe. The statement is made
that the steel plant Of the company now
nearly completed has already received
orders that will keep il busy for the
greater part OF next year on most profit
able work. The steel and iron situation
generally is more prosperous than at any
time heretofore Another advance of %
cents hundred pounds has been made on
steel bars.

The coalers were strong though not par
ticularly active. Jersey Central closed at
127. the highest price for the day. The
fine condition OF the coal trade is discuss I'd
with much optimism in the street Mr.
Morgan is said to have made the Stale
meut that larger dividends for all the Goa @
ers are in prospect. He Is a'so credited
with having intimated that a substantial
dividend on Reading first preferred in the
near future may be looked for.

The grangers were weak in the early
part of the day, but all except Atchison
preferred regained nearly all their losses
before the close. Rock Island was notice
ably strong. The grangers have been de-
ciining for several days, despite the weak
ness of wheat. Many believe that this
group viii be one Of the first to advance
when the market gains any strength. and
the believers in much higher prices for the
stocks are not few. The statement of St
Paul issued yesterday Of the gross earn
ings for the first week of November is a
most gratifying one. The gain Of $llgSlO
for the week IS the largest since those of
July. The increase in gross earnings from
July to date has been 81 I62 4Jl.

two lOO-gallon iron tanks containing par
affine paint. One Of the tanks was raised
on Il pair OF skids. and the ground under
meath II was soaked with the oily sub
stance. Rex had scarcely dropped the
match when there was a thunderous eX-
plosion that was heard for blocks. and
for a moment the whole wharf appeared
TO be afire. Crowley was struck by the
fragments Of the tank drum and knocked
down, his clothing being set on fire at the
same time.
Rex was a step or so in advance of his
companion and did not feel the full force
OF the explosion. The burning paint set
his clothes on fire, however, but with
great presence of mind he ran TO the end
of the wharf and jumped into the water

ALL SPANIARDS WILL
BE TRANSPORTED HOME

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26-At the Cab
met meeting to-day 1t was decided TO con-
strue that portion Of the treaty with
Spain regarding the return OF Spanish
soldiers and prisoners Of war in the most
liberal way. BY the terms Of the treaty
the nited States agreed 10 transport all
Spanish soldiers and prisoners Of war
serving in the conquered territory 10
Spain; Quite a number Of disputed ques-
uons have been raised in connection with
the repatriation of the Spanish soldiers
serving in the Philippines. and they have
been the subject Of considerable CORE
Spondence between General Otis and the
Spanish representatives al Manila.
In the peace treaty various terms are
used-"Spanish soldiers" Spanish pris-
oners, % prisoners in the hands Of insur-
gents etc. After discussing the dues,
ton to-day the Cabinet decided 10 stretch
the language OF tho treaty not only TO
cover all Spanish prisoners in the hands
OF the insurgents. who are now falling
into our hands. but their families and ali
Spanish civilian officials and their fami-
lies. All Will be transported to Spain at
the expense of the United States
Secretary Root has no information as

The cry for more money Is as unappeasable
as the demand for more wealth. new sup
ply instead OF satisfying demand stimulates
1t. Men want money To buy things with-gOOd
things that they think are going higher. Given
easy money I'm the banks and we have bankers
encouraging borrowers. AS "A result stocks 20
up and as they go up more people want to
buy and SO the demand for money increases.
You cannot furnish money fast enough To meet
the demand Of all who would like to borrow
while prices are going up. nor could all the
gold and silver mines in the world together
keep prices going up forever.
A marvellous era OF increasing money stocks
BEGAN i'm 1850 and started a period of specula-
tion end ended in n worldwide smash In 1881.
when even the Bank OF England had 10 sus-
pend payment without any decline In produc-
tion and with the mints everywhere open TO
both gold and silver.
The real secret of these reactions Is in spccu-
lation on margins. Those people who are cry
ing that they have been forced to throw away
their property had never paid FOR their holdings.
They borrowed money on call 10 make small
payments. hoping that right turn In the mar
ket would give large profits. But In that class
of operations losses come as easily as profits.
That Is one OF the conditions OF the game.
When they have profits they call IL prosperity.
but when they have losses they think the
country has come TO a standstil and want
10 know who Is TO blame. Nothing has hap
pened except that they have been asked TO pay
what they owe 1t is impossible TO do away
