money when he needed the money to pay
off some claims in the hands of the banks,
She wanted him to pay over to her one

preaching term of court, which convenes
on January 25th.
This morning two small cottage houses

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. JAM 2.-Today's violent
break in prices of stocks was unexpected
and the grounds for the heavy liquidation
of the day are not clear. even now. al
though it is evident that an acute appre-
hension of the effects of the coming out
break of war between Russia and Japan.
was the impelling cause. The news of the
day was rather more hopeless of the
possibility of avoiding war: but Wall
Street has accepted war as the assured
outcome of the situation for some time
and has viewed that outcome with ap-
parent equanimity, without selling to dis
count a war scare, as is the invariable
custom of speculative markets in face
of a coming event. The cumulative force
of the alarmed selling movement today
therefore, gave rise to fears that some
thing was known in the interior circles
of great capitalists of Interior complica-
lions threatening to involve other pow
ers in the coming struggle The effect
upon the market lost nothing in force
from the fact that considerable specula-
tive commitments have been made in ex-
pectation of January demand for securi-
ties, which may be checked by the course
of events which is feared. other cor
siderations seemed to be wholly ignored
and the bank statement offered nothing
to counterfeit the disposition to get out
of stocks. The first of the year is ex.
pected to involve large changes in bank
ing items, but today's sixteen million loan
expansion following that of over twelve
millions last week is indicative of other
demands than year end interest payments
and causes the fear that last winters
enormous corporations borrowing after
January first are to be duplicated this
year. The market closed active and

and the work on the building of the
church will begin early in the fall.
We are not prepared to say at the
present time how much money will
be invested in the new building, but
it will be better than some of the
Roswell churches and will compare
~favOrably with the best. We are bull
ding an excellent church at Albu-
querque, and the new church at Sill
yer City is nearing completion. We
also have an excellent church build
ing at Ell Paso, and the work of the
church in New Mexico is very salts
factory. l have just written to the

here we can build and dedicate the
church in Roswell without debt. l
find that the weather is dry in the
