The Pidfui Case of an Aged Brook
Jyn Woman.

y
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-NeighboTs Of
John Williams and his wife. Eliza. in the
big double hat-house, 4lS Hicks Street.
Brooklyn, missed the lonely old couple from
Tuesday until yesterday. The two had felt
the touch of want owing to the husbands
inability to get work as a longshoreman.
Both were about fifty years old, and lived
in two small rooms on the second floor.
Late yesterday afternoon Mrs Williams
appeared on the street. She told Policeman
O'Connell that her husband was dead. She
was wan and haggard and her mind was
wandering. She kept repeating. He's dead
and ! can't bury him.
On a couch upstairs O'Conneli found the
longshoreman. lifeless. Mrs. Williams could
not tell when he died. The rooms were a
picture of wretchedness. A few dry crusts
Of bread was the only food OConnell could
find in the house,
COroners Physician Hartung, who was
called, said Williams had been dead four
or five days He gave cirrhosis of the liver
as the cause. The body was removed to
the morgue and Charity Commissioner
Simis notified Of the old woman's wretched
plight. He will take her in charge today.
Neighbors say that Williams told them
last week that he was i'll of liver trouble,
but had no money 10 pay physician He

This extends over the whole country and is

STOCK MARKET GOSsIP.
Belief on All sides That the None
StriHgencH Is Over.


StringencY Is Over.
NEW YORK. Nov 19-The coming week
is fun OF promise TO those shat believe the
prosperity of the country in general is GER
tain at least TO be reflected in the one place
where il has not yet been felt in recent
months, or felt only as a detriment. Up TO
within a very few days the story of inn
mense business everywhere. and immense
profits, has been read every day, and be
side il the news from Wall Street that
the stock market has been weak or vacil-
lating or dun. And the only reason Why
the stock market should not have been
prosperous was because the country IN gen
eraI was so Overwhelmingly prosperous
that there was not money enough n New
York to allow of dealing in stocks. Such
a paradox could not last and this was
known by the important interests that have
been buying stocks heavily for several
months. The action of the Secretary OF
the Treasury has cut the knot cleveriy and
effectually There are sti1l some Wall
Street people who believe or who profess
to believe that the money stringency is not
yet out Of the way and that market prices
are not now ready to advance, but they are
few.
The new Treasury policy has had imme-
diate effects. not only in eXtinguishing
extraordinary premiums in the call loan
market, but time funds soften as well.
Clearing house statement shows almost
the disappearance of the surplus reserve
deficit, which lately threw Wall Street
into nervousness. Money, moreover, be-
gins to return this way from the West
as the season of crop financing approaches
termination. Bills of exchange on Europe
for cotton and grain increase also ma
,erialIy. These and other effective factors
are working to expand the volume OF
usable money.
New activity already appearing in the
stock market inclines to be comprehen-
sive-not the standard stocks merely. nor
I any particular groups of stocks prohung
exclusively. In the record of net changes
for the week-l5 stocks declining while
IO8 advanced-every interest figured. and
proportionately the industrials Jared quite
as well as did railway shares.
But the conservative commission broker
has his way. Wall Street is now not only
not overloaded, but it is an estimate prob
ably quite within bounds that fewer securi-
ties are now being carried on margin in
Wall Street than has been the average in
many years. And a healthy sign is this.
The public will buy now as soon as the
/ leaders indicate their willingness to allow
( prices to advance
The wisdom of a comprehending veteran
/ is in this remark attributed TO Mr.. Addi-
/ son Cammack-he who for years was the
/ Wall Street bear eminent:
Il do not want to fight seventy million
/ of people with two hundred and ninety mil
/ lion dollars in the Government Treasury.
