THE STOCK MARKET
Review CT Tho Weeks Trading on lIeu York
Exchange.


New York. Dec. 1.--There was a
comparatively narrow market for
stOsks today and the tone was not we'll
defined at any time. Large and conf
dent buying of railroad s'tccks was in
eviderce, but this was partly offset by
the sfarp weakness of a number of in
dustrials and spec.alties an Gthe whole
market turned downward with the ap-
pear2nce of the bank statement aand
the additional influence of three
point break in sugar. There was a
notable demand for railroad stocks,
especially shares of companies operat-
ing in the southern regions. Chesa.
peake and Ohio and Southern Railway
stocks were taken in large blocks, and
Mobile and Ohio moved upwards 3k
points out of dormant state.
A large demand for bonds at advanc.
ing prices was a noticeable feature Of
the trading. Trading in stocks has
been on diminishing scale this week
cial or business conditions that can be
assigned as the cause of this lessened
speculation. 1t is rather natural that
a pause is bound to come after an out
burst Of great and unwonted activity in
human aaffirs. The same thing is seen
in the business of the country where
iro +; 10 +a1, .op
ter the election, representing the loos-
ening of floods, penltsup pending the
decision of that event, while now the
animated demand for products shows
some natural reaction. This is espec-
tally noticeable in the iron trade. The
stock market is especially sensitive to
the course of events IN that trade, and
a purely speculative element has been
quick to take profits and prices conse
.quently declined.
This survey of stock market condi-
tions must, however, be taken in a
purely relative sense. While business
is smaller and prices are lower than in
the period Immediately preceding
there is still high level of prices
maintained and capital continues to be
employed on an enormous scale in Sc
curities.
The bond market has been less un-
settled this week than stocks Bust
ness has increased and prices ad-
vanced. Junior or refunding and re-
organized bonds have been favorites,
especially new issues. U. S. refunding
IS advanced Is; old As and IS "a, and 3s
and new As u per cent over call prices

CARELESS WITH THEIR JEWELS
Women Who Travel Are Constantly
Offering Temptations to
Thieves.

The persistency with which women
continue to carry their jewels and
money in handbags when travelling in
public conveyances is worthy of a
better cause. AS long as they con-
tinue the practice they must expect
willy thieves occasionally to get away
with their valuables, says the Chicago
Chronicle. IL is a favorite mode of
transportation with women on the
continent and some silly creatures
over there, fancying it is English,
now do the same careless thing. They
say they don't care to trust thousands
of dollars worth of diamonds in their
other luggage and must know where
their jewels are. Very good but
then they should have the bag or case
chained to their persons. A curious
robbery of this sort occurred between
Madrid and Bordeaux a few weeks
since, when an English lady the
wife of a lawyer residing in Jamaica,
landed at a Spanish port and took the
train at the aforementioned city. The
lady carried in hand satchel her
jewels. worth $4,000, and a sum of
81 600 in notes. At Bordeaux she was
Mortified to find her satchel missing
and. thinking she must have dropped
it, she telegraphed to the station mas
ters at the places passed on the jour
ney. asking them to look out for the
missing property Her purse con-
tanned money enough for her to con-
tinue to Paris, where she found a let
ter from her husband awaiting her;
in this letter he told her to be careful
while travelling. as he had been in
formed by detectives that she was
watched by two Russians, man and
a woman, who wanted to steal her
jewels and money. 1t was then that
the whole mystery of the loss was
explained. The lady had as travelling
companions part of the way young
Russian and his ostensible wife, both
excellent linguists. agreeable in man
ner and, according to their own show
ing. belonging to the Muscovite nobil-
ity. The young woman was partic-
ularly attentive to the lady, and with
good reason. as the man, her confeder-
dtts was lhufih W illS 4OI lIt
satchel. The sharpers suddenly dis
appeared at Bordeaux, although they
said they were bound for the Paris
exhibition. There is little hope the
victim of their artfulness will ever
recover her property unless the per-
sons who warned her husband shall
throw out further information to en-
able the French police to track the
thieves. IT is said that every rich
woman in London who is conspicuous
for the magnificencs of her jewels
is known and watched by thieves who
travel between England and Paris,
and it is only when guarded by trust
ed servants that such mishaps are
avoided. In New York society de-
tectives hover near more than one mil
lonaire's wife when she wears all her
war paint and priceless gems to the
opera and society functions.

Special to the Leader.


Washington, D. c.. Dec. 1.-Presi-
dent Mckinley was too long member
of Congress to make the mistake of
attempting to dictate to Senators and
Representatives the detailsof the legis-
lation that should be passed at this
session of Congress, but he talks free
ly to them of the general legislation he
thinks is needed and he impresses up
on their minds that whatever is to be
done should be done promptly, as he is
particularly anxious that nothing
should be left undone that will make
an extra session of the next Congress
necessary, and as all the Congressional
party leaders are in thorough accord
with him everything now indicates
that all necessary legislation will be
put through at this session.

From every class in Washington eX-
pressions of regret for the death Of
Senator. Davis, of Minnesota, areheard.
The President will miss him as a
friend and valued counselor, the Sen
ate will miss him in every conceivable
way, his wide knowledge, personal gem
ialty and long membership having
made him one of the leading members
of that body, and he will be missed by
thousands who loved him and knew
him as a true and tried friend. This
lis Senator Morgan's tribute to his
memory: "Cushman x. Davis was my
friend; genial gentleman, scholar,
and a patriot. AS chairman of the
tions, Senator Davis was especially
we'll fitted to assume the responsible
ties of such an Office, and he nobly full
filled his tasks" With the death of
Senator Davis, Senator Frye, ranking
Republican member became acting
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, and he will be likely to con-
tinue as such during this session of
Congress. He is in every way fully
Qualified to fill the position The
death of Senator Davis adds the Min
nesota legislature to the number of
those who will have the duty of elect
ing two United States Senators to per-
form at their next session. Gov. Lind
may, if he sees fit, appoint Senator
to serve until the legislature acts, and
it is presumed in Washington that he
will do so.
