CURRENCY MOVEMENT.
Strong Indications That 1t Is Again
Turning in the Direction of
New York.

New York, Nov. 25.-While the ship
ments of money through purchases of
subtreasury exchange have this week
exceeded slightly the net receipts by
the banks on direct interior exchange,
the difference was less than 100000,
indicating that the currency move
ment is turning in the direction of
New York. The subtreasury paid out
$7,571 900 during the week, exclusive
of Fridays transfers through the
clearing house. Banks with the larg-
est number of out-of-town correspond
ents reported relatively heavy re-
ceipts and light shipments of curren-
cy, some of the most important insti-
tutions receiving from $1,000 to $780,
600 more than their shipments aggre-
gated. Subtreasury disbursements on
account of government bond pur-
chases aggregated Friday more than
S750,O00. The total disbursements by
the New York subtreasury under the
offer to redeem United States bonds
to the amount of $25,OO0,OOO was $12,-

in New York.

New York, Nov. 25.-William An.
thony, better known as Brave BilP'
Anthony, died at the Presbyterian hos
pital Friday, half an hour after he had
swallowed quantity of cocaine at one
of the Central park entrances. He was
the man who, on February Is, 1898.
when the battleship Maine was blown
up in Havana harbor, reported to Capt
Sigsbee in the famous words: 'Sir,
have the honor to report that the ship
has been blown up and is sinking" On
his return to this country Anthony was
accorded receptions everywhere. He re-
ceived many invitations from cities to
be their guest. For months he trav-
eled over the country, being accorded
the honors of a hero. When his leave of
absence was ended Anthony was pro-
NOTED to be a sergeant of marines, and
was detailed at the Brooklyn navy yard
In one of Anthony's coat pockets was
found letter written by him to his
aunt, which read that he was discour-
aged and disconsolate and was going to
end it all. Among the articles found
was a picture of his one-month-old

A New Warden.

Gen. Charles McC. Reeve was selected
to serve the state in the capacity of war
den of the state prison, to succeed Hen
ry Wolfer, who has resigned to engage
in business.
A special meeting of the board of pris-
on managers was held at Saltwater at
which Mr.. VOTERS resignation was for
mally rendered and accepted, and after
the claims and qualifications of several
candidates for the position had been con-
sidered, the choice of the board fell on
Gen. Reeve. He will assume his new du-
ties Dec. l.
Mr.. Wolfer will become associated with
the Northwestern Grass Irvine Company,
which is part of the Irvine trust, and has
three plants, of which he will be general
manager. The plants are located at st.
Paul, West Superior and Oshkosh. The
company now employs 1000 people, is put
ting up new buildings and will eventually
employ 1000 people in making binding
Irvine, mating, carpets, Innings for furni-
ture, bric-a-brac, etc. Mr.. Wolfer will
make his home in ST. Paul, His salary
will be about three times as great as
that of warden.

IN. BUSINESS CIRCLES.
Many Features Serve to Lull None
tary Anxfeties in the East
State of Trade.

New York, Nov. pr. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: Monetary
anxietes have faded with sales of bonds
to the treasury under the recent offer,
the fall in sterling exchange in spite OF
dearer money abroad and easier here, and
the receipt of about $4,000 net from the
interior during the week. There is no
trouble in the commercial money market,
and loans on securities have ruled at easier
rates. While the extraordinary volume OF
business throughout the country requires
greater activity in currency than in or
binary times, there is no indication that
the volume has not been ample all the
year, and the course of money markets
throughout the interior shows that en-
barrassment here has been due to opera
lions of outside industries and general
trade.
1.-The iron industry shows no yielding in
material, but little advance in Bessemer
pig at Pittsburgh with large inquiries for
next year. Prices of rails are maintained
with one contract reported of 10000 tons
for Japan, and another pending for south
Africa. A single order for car axles covers
81, 200. or $500 tons.
Wheat wearied spectators, with scarce
ly any change in prices for the week.
Though western receipts are 30 per cent
below last years for the week, and nave
been in three weeks about 16, 565, 973 bushels,
against 2S,544,199 last year, the decrease IN
exports is heavy. A slender foreign de-
mand in Atlantic markets, with prices as
low as they have been, tend strongly to
prevent a rise in prices.
Failures for the week have been III
in the United States, against 1888 last year,
and % in Canada, against q last year.
Bradstreet's says: "a striking illustra-
ton of the underlying strength OF the
general business situation is furnished this
week by the course of prices. Almost
without exception values of staples re-
main firm at previous quotations or man
ifest a still further pronounced tendency
upward. This, too, has occurred in face
of a rather smaller distribution in the or
binary trade channels than has been noted
in recent weeks. So far as autumn and
winter trade is concerned, the complaint
of unseasonably mild weather restricting
retail distribution is reported from many
cities. Cereals remain on the whole dull
and uninteresting, and price fluctuations
are within an exceptionally narrow range,
with quotations ruling about what they
were one year ago. Iron and steel are
seasonably quiet after a year of unex-
ampled activity, but the price changes re-
corded serve to impart an appearance
rather of irregularity than of weakness.
Authorities in the trade consider pros
poets of maintenance of present conditions
of price and demand during 1900 as quite
favorable"

English Tea.

We look to England for the perfec-
ton of tea. The teakettle is as much
an English institution as aristocracy or
the prayer book, and when one wants
to know exactly how tea should be
made one has only to ask how fine old
English housekeeper makes it. The
first article of her faith is that the wa
ter must not merely be hot, not merely
have boiled few moments since, but
be actually boiling at the moment it
touches the tea. Tea making belongs
to the drawing room, and high-born
ladies preside at ''the bubbling and
loud hissing," and see that ali due rites
and solemnities are properly performed
that the cups are hot and that the
infused tea waits the exact time before
the libations commeDce.-DetroitF Free

A Shoplifter.

A strange woman, about so years old,
who would give neither her name nor adj
dress, and who possessed nothing by
which she could be identified, was ar
rested at Mankato, on advices from St.
Peter that she was wanted there for
shop lifting. She had with her two satch-
els and a shawl strapped up, and these
contained numerous pieces of ladies' fine
dress goods of a probable value of 5000
to $780, She denied that she had stolen
these, but would give no account of where
she got them
Chief of Police Davis came from St.
Peter and took her back. He was accom-
panied by lady clerk, who identified the
woman as being one of two who had
been in her employers store together dur
ing the morning, and she also recognized
two pieces of dress goods stolen from the
store

Sea leveD, and the winters are quite
cold. snow frequently falling on the
slopes of the Drakenberg, a mountain
chain whose SUBMITS are 1000 feet
above the level of the sea in several
places.
Pretoria, the capital of the South
African republic, has had weather
bureau for number of years, and in
its reports the January temperature
is given as 90 degrees Fahrenheit,
that of the winter months as 40 de-
grees. The summer is the rainy sea-
son, and storms with thunder and
hail are frequently severe. The rains
usually begin about the middle OF Dc
tober and last internationally until
April, almost the entire fall taking
place during this period. At Pretoria
the average rainfall is 80 inches. This
increases toward the east, reaching
a maximum in the mountain region,
and decreases toward the west, in the
direction of the Great Kalahari des-
ert, barren and dry strip of unpro-
ductive land, so that on the frontier
it is not more than 10 inches. A eli
mate such as this is, of course, not IA
vorable to the growth of timber, eN-
cept in the river bottom lands. Con-
sequently anything bigger than bushes
is not often seen in either of the two
states, although the soil supports an
abundant heritage which, in the win
ter, becomes dry and brown, but
springs up with renewed vigor and
increased succulence with the first
rains. Nature has made the Trans
vaal country a vast pasture, and that
is why cattle raising is the chief in
dustry of the burghers.
General farming is profitable only
where costly irrigation plants have
been established. The soil is adapted
for the cultivation of all kinds of veg
etables and fruits, and in some districts
a very fine quality of tobacco is grown.
Grain also does well in certain districts,
but as a whole the two Dutch repub-
lies are purely pastoral in their indus
tries. AS the pasturage is scanty for
half year, the farms are necessarily
large, for the stock must often be driven
long distances in search of fodder. This
accounts also for the small population

with peach stones, to prevent the wear
and tear of passing feet. 1t is furnished
with table, touches and chairs, seated
with strips of hide.
Large game of many varieties, ante
lope and giraffes were once abundant,
but they are now comparatively scarce.
Nevertheless, the Beers are still famous
hunters and can handle a rifle perhaps
better than their English neighbors in
Cape Colony, Bechuanaland and Natal.
Frequent troubles with the Zulus and
Kaffirs have, moreover, given them quite
little knowledge of warfare. A Brit
ish officer who is thoroughly familiar
with Dutch customs and history in
South Africa, is authority for the state
ment that the older generation de-
lights in remembering Majuba hill,
Laing's Mex, Ingogo and all the rest of
English humiliation, and some of them
to this day retain their old guns, with
notch in the stock for every ''rooinek,"
or Englshman, they allege to have
shot. They fill their cartridge belt,
put a piece of biting in their pocket,
mount their horses and ride off to war.
Biting, it should be explained, is sun
dried venison cut into strips, and is said
to be very nourishing and sustaining.
The Beers, when out on the veldt, live
on it for weeks at time and seem to
crave no other food.
The same authority says that when
taking the field the Beers harass them
selves with no cumbersome commits
sariat or ambulance wagons. Every
thing is left to chance, and in the war OF
1881 it seemed truly wonderful how
they escaped all manner of horrible
dangers. If they get wounded they
seek refuge in the nearest farmhouse.
If they are MORALLY wounded they look
upon it as decree of Providence.
Practically every Boer is mounted,
and although they have no regularly
constituted regiments they join togeth
er in what is called Commands, )"
These are the aggregate collections OF
the farmers and their sons from one
particular district gathered together
in a heterogeneous mass under the
leadership of the field cornet' or the
commandant of that particular district.
In the past the Beers have never fought
in the open, but in the war now N prog
ress they have several times made bold
charges and accepted hand-to-hand en-
counters. They have also added field
hospitals to their equipment, ard the
forces around Ladysmith are accom-
panied by an ambulance train and a
staff of Boer physicians, who are, al
most without exception, graduates OF
Edinburgh.
The Boer women excel in marksman-
ship; and when the British troops shall
finally succeed in invading the Trans
vaal they will find them enemies by no
means to be despised. They handle a
rifle with ease and can shoot a bird on

the wing without missing more than
once in ten times.
In view of the fact that Sir Redvers
Butler, commander in chief of the Brit
ish forces in South Africa, is about
ready to start on his march of conquest.
the topography of the country to be
subdued is of timely interest. The two
allied Dutch republics are separated by
the Vaal river only, and in physical ge-
ography are practically one region.
Natal cuts off the Orange Free State
from the Indian ocean, and Zuiuiand
and Portuguese East Africa do the same
for the Transvaal. Both states have
British territory on the west, which al.
so forms the northern boundary of the
one and the southern of the other. The
principal natural defense of the Boer
country lies on the eastern side, where
it is protected by mountains. In fact.
the two states have been described as
a vast upland plateau, bordered on one
side by a group of mountain ranges.
The Drakenberg separates Natal
from the eastern part of the Orange
having Portuguese East Africa between
it and the ocean. North of the granite
region of Basutoland the DrakenberG
is not imposing, the mountains being
rounded and consisting of stratified
rock, sandstone and shale, capped &C.
casionally by sheets of basaltic rock.
Cliffs now and then offer some striking
eannio uor- iot No no i'll hos
a structure-alternatin sandstone and
shale, capped with igneous rock; and
the adjoining ridge, to which it sinks
down, is Laing's Mex, over which the
road from Natal to the Transvaal once
ran, and which is now pierced by rail-
way. The mountain barrier once
passed, the great South African
plateau, of which the two Dutch repub-
lies is the eastern portion, is entered.
This plateau extends westward beyond
Mafeking and Kimberley; and that is
the reason why these two towns were
so easily reached by the Beers who are
now besieging them.
After the British troops have once as
cended this great plateau they will have
no difficulty in maintaining a direct
line of communication with Cape Town,
nor will they experience much trouble
in carrying artillery across the moufi
tains. That is why the Boer generals
invaded Natal and fortified the passes
leading to Johannesburg and Pretoria

The impression that the South At

to prevail quite generally. Some
imaginative newspaper writer's have
gone so far as to compare the
