London comes a good deal better this
morning than had been expected. This
signifies that the market there for
American stocks has been supported
and advanced on orders sent from this
side overnight.
New York Central is up IA points
Pennsylvania. 1 point; Chesapeake and

only exceptionally weak stocks are Bal
timore and Ohio, which Is down l point,
and Atchison, Illinois Central, Southern

which are down u. The steel stocks
are unchanged to Il lower, and Canadian
Pacific, Reading, Southern Railway, and

People who buy stocks and bonds at
prevailing prices may rest assured that
while quotations may be forced 10 a
Lowell level, the actual worth Of Sc

greater number of cases stocks are in"
trinsically more valuable today than
ever before IN the history OF the
country. Conditions governing the &C
tual worth OF investments present no
evidence of weakness. Indeed. reports
from the business centers of the coun-
try indicate a most prosperous situa-
ton in trade, with signs of further OK
pansiCn in course of the next twelve
months. Wall Street apparently has not
reached the position where it can look
forward to a promising future, Tut
elsewhere in the country people who
are engaged in various lines of work
are satisfied with the present position of
business affairs, and with the outlook
for Industrial activity in the course Of

Now York money brokers say six
months funds go begging at 5A
per cent. Commission houses not
only are well supplied against pros
pective requirements, but are in so
sold out" a condition that they have
very little collateral left on which to
borrow. The old line commission houses,
as a rule. are comfortably situated. a
margin of 20 per cent on their loans
with prices at this level is a much safer
margin than 40 per cent would have
been year ago with prices anywhere
from 10 to 100 points higher.
1t is explained authoritatively, though
not officially, that the Rock Island bond
issue cOntemplates reimbursing the
company's treasury for enormous ex-
penditures for new construction, etc,
during the past two years. There is in
the Rock Island system 500 miles of new
road, built out of treasury funds at a
cost of $16.C0O. 900. This mileage is free
of bonded debt. The purchase of the

from Ex-Governor Francis and his as
sociates and the cost Of completing 1875
miles Of that road into Kansas City
took $4,000, 600 out of the treasury.
Rock Islands one-haIf interest in the
Rock Island-Lake Shore passenger sta
tion at Chicago, amounting to $500, 900,
was paid out Of the treasury, and the
shops at Moline. costing $1,500,000. are
being constructed with treasury funds.
Besides this treasury outlay of approx

ing SIS, goo 600 Frisco collateral bonds,
subject to call at 102 at any interest
period; 10000, 900 Choctaw collateral
fours. subject to call at 1O1, and Rock
Island skies amounting to S12, 900. 600.
which viii mature in few years. 1t is
intimated further that the management
desires to anticipate an agitation in

strict the power of railroads to increase

CLAIM poWlE is SOLVENT.
Several Large Creditors Win Fight
Bankruptcy Proceedings.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-The first open no
tice of opposition to the bankruptcy
proceedings against John Alexander
Dowie was given in the United States
district court during the day by an
attorney for an indianapolis grocery
company, which is a creditor of Dowie.
In the filing of a claim for $1,000 the
attorney for the Indianapolis concern
gave notice that at the proper stage OF
proceedings he would take action in
court in opposition to the bankruptcy
petition OF other creditors. The con
test will probably begin within few
days.
Representatives Of several other
large creditors. it is said, will join in
a fight to have the receivers ousted on
the ground that Dowie is solvent and
that creditors will get less if litigation
Is prolonged.
A middle aged man. known to Dow
les followers only as the Milwaukee
millionaire" arrived at Zion City dur

who refused to allow the use Of his
name, said that the visitor was tha

PLAN Is MAPPED OUT.
Government Officials to Exterminate
biackmaiIinQ Societies.

New York, Dec 5.-A complete plan
for the determination of Sicilian and
Italian blackmailing societies is re-
ported to have been mapped out.
Agents of the secret service branch
of the treasury department. postoffice
department inspectors and police OPP
eratives of New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and two or three other cities
will participate and it is proposed that
a death blow shall be dealt the for
eign bands who have grown remark
ably bold in their operations during
recent weeks. While Chicago and
Philadelphia are known to have pow
erful societies it is believed by the
secret service, whose detectives are
most familiar with the working OF tho
Malta, that there exists at present in
this city the most powerful and des-
perate Malta band that has ever been
organized in America. It's operations
include many atrocious and mysterious
murders, kidnappings and thousands
of successful attempts to blackmali
and extort money from wealthy and
respectable Italians For this reason
the most vigorous prosecution is ex-
pected to take place in and about New
York
