NEW YORK. Dec 2.-Enough Is known of the effect of last weeks freezing weather in the South, and especially in Texas. to estab- fish the fact that the top crop question has been disposed of and Is no longer factor. Weather advices. however. continue to be watched with more or less interest because of their bearing the movement which is again attracting no little attention In fact. the re- ceipts are causing little nervousness in bear circles. who fail to see any such movement as they looked for. The conviction is growing that the crop Is not going to be large one, that the view Is generally accepted except in auarters where nothing short of bumper crop has been looked for year after year. On the other hand. conservative operators see no crop in sight much over | 900, 900 and concede that 1t may prove half a million less. There is large short interest In the Summer months. In view of the bureau report tomorrow sellers keping under cover, General expectations are for figures around 10. POO, 900. Prices to- day opened about 3 points higher on good cables and signs of small receipts Reports of big rains in Texas and Arkansas after the opening caused a sharp advance and heavy covering of shorts, while Arkansas people pre- dicted a crop not exceeding | 0,ooo 900.

WALL STREET REVIEW
SPECULATIVE POOLS RESUME THEIR ACTIVITY.
The Western Contingent" Credited With Large Transactions Dur ing the Day-Bulls' Knowl- edge of Presidents Mes
 sage at Fault.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-The notably early strength in todays stock market was appa- part of some of the recently passive specula- tive pools. The so-called Western contingent was credited with large transactions. The operators on the bull side professed to have advance information of the contents of the Presidents message. Either the information or their judgment of its effect was at fault ac- cnrding to the action of the market after the publication of the message The advance halt ed about the time the delivery of the message to Congress was due. The market lacked all power of resistance to the selling movement from that, time forward and the selling pres sure gained in force until near the close which was duf and heavy The check to the recent upward course of ahe speculation in the local fractions had a depressing effect on the mar ket. The decline in fractions was due to a natural desire to take profits. but also in part to the announcement that a judicial decision on the special franchise tax was impossible. Another chilling influence was the indic"- tion of renewed trouble in the money market contained in furry In the call loan rate late in the day to per cent. This was attributed in part to the requirements of paying SIS,- 900, 900 subscriptions to the new Illinois Cen tral stock, but the engagement of S5CO. 900 in gold for shipment to South America was of even greater sentimental effect. This gold goes to pay for wheat bought for account of England and theerfore resembles to some ex. tent the triangular operations by which gold has gone to Paris to pay debts.~~The deposit of S35O 900 at the sub-treasury for transfer
 to San Faa1esGo so maked the an cs or toms continue to make heavy inroads upon New York money markets. The published re- port that some of the local trust compa- nies offering special inducements for De- cember deposits was a iisquieting influence. The effect of these developments cost tho stock market all of its early advance and carried the level for many prominent stocks from to points under last night. The losses in the local fractions were even more severe.
 The bond market became easier in sympa- thy with tho late reaction in stocks. Total sales tpar value). s2.I7i.o0o. United States 3's coupon declined E on the last call.

GOLD GOES DOWN.
Cheaper Rate a Source of Satisfaction
 in London

London. Dec. 2.-The decline in the price of gold during the last few days has been viewed with great satisfaction in financial circles as it indicates slack ening in the demand from the various quarters of the world, initiating against the likelihood of gold exports or a rise r the bank rate.
 The demands for the continent have lessened notably, and the Bank of Eng land is expected to take advantage of the situation to strengthen it's gold reserves in preparation for increased demand for money generally expected at the year s end. Cheaper gold Is also said to lessen the prospect of gold being drawn to Lon den from the United States.

An English Club woman's story.

In the State Federation of Women s
clubs at this mornings session Mrs.
Hugh Reed Griffin of London was in
vited to address the convention. Mrs.
Griffin, whose husband is an American.
formed the first American women S
club in London. The club has become
very popular, has attracted widespread
attention in England and has had the
effect of establishing better under
standing between English and Ameri-
can women.
Mrs Griffin told about the formation
of the club and its work. She stated
that there was some prejudice in Eng
land against the American clubwoman,
and that she, herself, shared that pref
udice to some degree.
The American clubwoman is so ter
ribly busy that | often wonder. and
SO do other people wonder, if she finds
any time at all to spend at home"
said Mrs. Griffin. Il heard a story
once which aptly illustrates this fault
in the American clubwoman: Three
little boys were together and their
chlldlSn Talk hnally drlfted to the Ques-
tion of where they were born. One lit
tie boy said:
81 know where l was born was
born at 3S Washington street and
know where the house Is, too
And one of the other little boys
said:
And know where l was born, too.
1t was at SO Pennsylvania avenue, and
can take you right to the house.
'The third little boy hesitated and
then finally said:
81 don't know where l was born,
but know when | was born. | know
there wasn't anybody home at the
time but me and grandma, cause
mother was at the club. Buffalo

PROSTATE With Rheumatic Fever Six
Times within Twenty Years.


This was the case of Mr.. Eli Wiltshire,
of Landsdown Terrace, Calne, Wis, who,
during this time, suffered the most intense
agony He writes:
II heartily indorse the testimonials
which you publish of st. Jacobs Oil as a
pain killer, for 1 have heen sufferer
from rheumatism and X. .red complaints
at different times during the last twenty
years. I have been laid PROSTATE with
rheumatic fever six times during that Pc
riod, therefore 1 consider I know some
thing about rheumatism. During all of
these twenty years 1 have tried various ad-
vertised rheumatic remedies, oils, oint-
ments and embrocations. None of them
gave me much relief, but when tried St.
Jacobs Oil found quite different results.
1t eased the pain almost Immediately, and
has done for me what all other remedies
put together never began to do.
II could give you several cases that have
been cured, which have come under my
notice, and through my recommendation;
also one of toothache, one of faceache and
one of sore throat.
Il have recommended st. Jacobs Oil
and shall continue to do so by every means
in my power, as consider you deserving
of every support"
