DAVIS CAN NOT RECOVER
Minnesota senator Has Little Chance
for Life.

for Life.
ST. Paul. Nov. 14.-United States Sen
ator Cushman K. Davis can survive but
a few days at the most. DR.. Murphy OF
Chicago, who was summoned to st.
Paul as consulting physician. says that
he hae practically abandoned hope Of
the senator's recovery. DIR. Murphy
stated that acute Inflammation Of the
kidneys had get in, and that he had lit.
tie hope that his distinguished patient
would live until the end OF the Week.
Senator Davis death, he gaid. may be
looked for at almost any moment. altho
1t is. possible that he may survive for
two or three days
The gravity Of Senator Davis condi-
tion has produced an atmosphere Of the
deepest gloom at his residence In Far
rington avenue. His wife. his aged par
ents and his two sisters all realize fully
the probability Of fatal result, and
that in few days. The senator Is not
cognizant Of the extreme seriousness OF
his own condition, altho he is. Of course.
aware that he Is being treated for an
other and possibly more serious ailment
than that with which he at first con-
tended.
The presence OF acute Inflammation Of
the kidneys was first discovered Mon
day. The new trouble appears to have
no relation whatever to the poison taken
| into the system thru the foot except
that latent tendency to kidney trouble
may have existed and been aggravated
by the strain imposed upon Senator Da-
Wig physical condition thru his long
prostration with his foot. Senator Da-
vis is not suffering acute pain; in fact,
he is hardly conscious of any pain at
| all. He is not greatly emaciated, altho
he is considerably thinner than he was
two months ago at the beginning Of his
|. illness,
In spite Of the hopeful wording Of the
bulletins issued, it is known that his
condition is considered desperate and
that the case is practically hopeless. DR..
Murphy said that the diagnosis made by
the local physician was accurate. He
regards the case now as grave, for kid
ney trouble at this stage Is very dam
| gerous symptom. Everything that skill
can suggest is being done for the strick-
en- statesman.
When DR.. Murphy was last here he
then believed that there was fair
|chance for recovery. He is not 80 san
|guine now. The wounds on the foot are
doing nicely, and some OF them have al
lready granulated. DR.. Murphy dressed
1.-THE foot yesterday afternoon and was
|gratified with this feature Of the case
DR.. Murphy gave out this Information
4 just before his departure for Chicago
Hast night.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Pending a return of the public and important
interests TO the stock market. the trading ele-
rnent is quite likely TO control prices according
TO its varying fancies. Substantial improvement
was shown in yesterdays speculation but the
general course of values was not distinguished
by any noteworthy change in the prevailing
character of dealings. Dulness was again the
chief feature. Prices as a rule moved within
narrow limits and in only few active stocks
final quotations showed more than fractional
differences from Thursday. Weakness in the
early trading was followed by recoyeries In the
afternoon dealings with better prices IN the
greater number OF issues the Close. Shorts
covered their contracts in American Tobacco.
Sugar Refining and the rest of the industrial
group. while throughout the entire list the trad
ing element appeared disposed to work for a
rally rather than for lower prices Sentiment,
however. was not particularly bullish, and the
better tone of the days market was significant
OF technical market conditions more than of a
legitimate demand for stocks While bearish.
the trading element realizes that stocks are not
tn weak hands, and that in the absence of genu-
ine liquidation further operations on the short
side of speculation should be conducted with
extreme caution The market closed dull and
firm with striking gains IN the gas securities

change and in the outside market was based on
Il
The known movement of money in the week
suggests that Improvement has taken place in
bank holdings. If loans have followed the course
of a week ago surplus above legal requirements
will be considerably higher, but 1t may be that
special transactions, such as the PENNSYLVANIA
loan for instance, will cause gain in the loan
account large enough to offset the increase in
cash as an influence on surplus. Local money
conditions are not in favor of the lender. despite
the loss sustained by gold exports, while foreign
money rates growing more in favor of the
borrower The fall in the discount rate In Lon
don precludes the possibility of gold shipments
10 that centre at present, and the easier ten
oency in Paris makes further shipments TO that
point matter of much doubt. Although nearly
Sl00000o0 gold has been sent to Paris the local
banks have not lost much in cash. as Treasury
payments and receipts from the interior have
offset in great part the outward movement of
the precious metal.

IRON AND STEEL ABROAD.

James Bowron. treasurer of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company who has just returned from
trip abroad was quoted follows yesterday:
The foreign iron and steel situation exhibits re-
marka BILE activity and strength. and they say over
there that that condition will continue unless We
undertake to a break from this side. They
maintain that America sets the pace. and what
and also the English markets are doing good
business and the situation there depends upon the
confidence shown in the iron and steel industry in
this country and in holding prices up. The
whole Continent of Europe is suffering for fuel
and this in must react upon the iron trade
by holding up the cost of production. The conf
denCe of Germany in the situation is most marked
by it's purchase of the entire output of new Swed-
ish ore fields uD TO 1872
