eeial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November 21.-The opinion
gained ground today that speculative con-
ditions had changed for the better, and
that conservative purchases would turn
out well. The immediate reasons for these
views were that important banking inter-
ests were more willing to lend money and
investors were encouraged by brokers in
buying the low priced dividend-paying is
sues.
The tone Of the market was decidedly i'm
proved and the short interest was suffi-
GENTLY nervous to act quickly in the pres
ence of any commission house demand.
Monetary conditions showed Improvement,
and the belief obtained that leading inter-
ests favored higher prices. An advance in
Amalgamated Copper to GO, following yes
terday's recovery, was regarded as an evil
dence of this desire to see prices regain
something of their recent loss.
Union Pacific was readily received into
loans by financial interests identified with
the property, and the stock was quite gen.
orally bought on the inference that higher
level would please the management just at
this time.
Good judges of the market considered Bal
timore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western
as being worth more than going prices in
Dictated. Substantial recoveries were re-
corded in them during the afternoon.
Atchison and the southwestern issues
were strong and reflected good buying from
commission houses. The high grade invest
ment issues were in better demand Also
Pennsylvania, New York Central, ST. Paul
and others all showing a considerable gain.
The rally in st. Paul helped sentiment, and
the Gould buying of Missouri Pacific ex-
erted favorable influence.
The character of the buying in Northern
Securities was of the best, and some atten-
ton is being given recent official assurances
that this issue will take rank with the best
grade of western investments.
Rock Island issues were 'buoyant, the pre-
ferred stock gaining per cent and the
common gaining about per cent
The demand was credited to insiders, but
was thought to reflect improving banking
facilities for the energetic operators in
charge of the speculation in these shares.
London sold a few stocks and was not
entirely cheerful over continental money
conditions, but there was little attention
paid to such arguments on this side.
Present indications are that the banks
have gained from $500 900 to $500, 1000 on the
weeks currency movement: While money
continues to go out to the west and south
there is also a slight return from those
points. The loan item may not show as
much reduction could be wished for at
this time. but indications are that banking
condition should show some improvement
in tomorrows statement.

4 SURPRISE WEDDING
Miss Alma Miller Becomes
Mrs. George Bohen
in Washington.

Miss Alma Miller, daughter of Mr.. Lin
ton O. Miller, was married to Mr.. George
Bohen. at Washington. D. c., yesterday.
Miss Miller knocked at her mothers S
door at about 9 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, saying that she was going out to
meet some friends from the South who
were in town for the Horse Show. She
left the house about II o'clock. She did
not return at luncheon time. contrary
to her usual custom. and the family were
surprised but not alarmed. Nothing was
heard from her until p NJ. when Mrs
Miller received the following telegram
from her:
II am now Mrs. Bohen.
This is all we know of the affair" said
Mrs Miller last night. I'VE are both
surprised and shocked. Mr. Bohen's ac-
quaintance with my step-daushter dates
only from last April. He met her only
few times al our house. But to the best
of my knowledge they did not meet at
any other place. We know nothing
against the character of Mr.. Bohen- In
fact. that is our only objection to him
that we know nothing concerning him
Miss Miller is not yet q. and we would
nave preferred that she had not married
before coming of age. l expect tnat the
young people are with friends or mine
in Washington, but know nothing OF
their future plans
Mr.. Bohen came to this city from
New York, and has been a resident here
but a few months. He is manager OF the
local branch of the Stein Piano Com
many. and stands well among those who
know him.

A mass-meeting will be held at each
synagogue Sunday next, and each will
appoint committee to confer with the
other
This is the outcome of a series of de-
bates and discussions between the two
congregations. Consolidation has long
been talked but the matter has been
dead-locked by the resolve on the part
of those living uptown to have the new
church built in their part of the city.
and the equally firm determination Of
those living in the other end of town to
have it near them.
Now. it is proposed to sell both sites
and to build a new and handsome syna-
gogue in the central part of the city.
Both congregations are very anxious
to leave Mayo street. and there is hardly
the shadow of doubt that this will be
accomplished.
The present rabbis of the Montefiore
congregation are Rev. Reuben Grafman
and Rev. Solomon Schwartz. Mr.. Samuel
Stern is president of the association.
Mr.. Henry Fischer is president of the
Keneseth Israel Association. and Rev.
