PIGEONS AID A PHYSICIAN.

From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
McCool, Neb, March 19.-Carrier pig
cons are serving a peculiar purpose here
for DR.. F. S. Norris. He is using them
among his patients to save long rides, and
finds them of much practical advantage.
His practice covers a large territory.
When he has one or two patrons sick in
widely separated localities he finds it die
ficult to call on them in one day. Under
such circumstances he leaves with the
family of sick persons several carrier pig
cons, to be released daily with a message
as to the patients condition. These pig
cons reach home in a few minutes.
The doctor at first used a pair of the
birds, but of late has found them of such
great service he has purchased a dozen.
He is receiving many communications
from physicians in country districts of all
states asking as to details and success
he has met with in the new plan.

toration, offered the head 10 the then
Due de Richeleu, the minister of for
eign affairs, who took no notice whatever
of the offer. The son Of NJ Arroez in
ferited the skull. In 1916 the illustrious

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Stock Market Influenced By the
Higher Money Rates.


New York, March 24.-Bradstreet's
financial review will say tomorrow:
Although decidedly irregular, the mar
ket this week was generally strong, its
most remarkable feature being the re-
sistance which was offered to the infu-
ence of higher rates for money. As
explained elsewhere, the combination
! OF seasonable demands from the inter
! Tor for the April settlements, with the
| temporary locking up Of some large
| amounts in connection with pending
| industrial company deals, caused at the
/ beginning of the week a marked reduc-
! ton in the supply of call money and
an advance in the rates which Wall
| street had to pay for accommoda ton
on stock collateral UP to sos per cent,
some quotations as high as to 10 per
| cent being also recorded. There has
never been time when the amount of
securities in the market held for specu-
lat1Ve account and carried in loans of
| this kind was so large. The increasing
proportion of industrial securities,
many of them new and of INFESTED
value, also seemed to conservative peo-
pie to constitute a danger, and it is not
strange that many lenders refuse to
accept such collateral and that where
loans are made upon it higher rates
and wider margins are demanded.
since last autumn by the exceptionally
large supplies of loanable funds and
the easy rates, the hardening of the
money market was considered likely to
result in considerable speculative
liquidation. Last week had developed
symptoms of such a tendency, but to
the surprise of Wall street itself the
further upward movement of rates for
money at the beginning of the present
one produced no great impression on
prices and failed to check the develop
ment of bullish activity and manipula-
ton in various parts of the list. This
may be attributed largely to the gem
eraf recognition of the fact that the
causes for the squirt in money rates
were temporary and that after April
1t is probable return flow of money
from the interior will result in renewed
ease. In fact, there is reason to be-
lieve that outside institutions offered
increased amounts in consequence of
the news that rates had advanced and
at any rate, While time money was in
increased request by Wall street Dor
creasing supply and money on railroad
collateral could be easily obtained at
pc rcent, while at higher rates borrow
ers on industrial securities can secure
accommodation, in spite of the con-
serVatiSm which is expressed about the
latter class of securities. AS the week
progressed, the release of money which /
had been temporarily tied up by some
large industrial deals with other
causes, resulted in easier conditions as
to rates and supplies, and the relief to
the money market was reflected by re-
newed strength in prices.
