AUGURY.

New York, Nov J. The financial
situation yesterday was SO nearly nor
NAL that there were few new features
of Importance. 1t was stated by bank
ers that the calls for money from the
neighborhood Of New York and the
East appeared practically satisfactory,
as such urgent calls for currency as
were being received came from points
west of the Mississippi. These calls
are being met as fast as conditions
permit
Mr.. Williams, the new superintend-
emit of banking, gathered most of the
cash from suspended banks yesterday
and deposited it with going institu-
tons, thereby adding several million
dollars to the market funds
Need Money for Cotton.
One of the points at which the most
serious pressure for money is expect
ed is at New Orleans. where the move
ment of the cotton crop calls for cash
The pressure there is always heavy at
this season and promises to be even
more intense this year.
A committee of New Orleans bank
ers Is in Washington and hopes to Sc
cure a promise from Secretary Cortel-
you to deposit substantial sums in
New Orleans banks and other South
ern institutions. Secretary Cortelyou
appears to recognize that benefits con-
ferred by this policy will not be limit
ed to New Orleans and the South, but
will aid in the movement for the
prompt deli y of American !uct
in Europe and the creation of a credit
balance which will cover the imports
Of gold.
1t is estimated by goo ,dges that
there are 100000 more na..es OF stock
holders on the books of the railway
and industrial corporations than was
the case a year ago. This is regard
ed as q good augury by bond dealers,
whose market has been very fiat for
many months. The absence of any
failures, either financial or mercantile,
in New York of any Importance, ex-
cept that OF Kessler & Co., a private
banking firm, and the offer of call
money at lower rates than during
most Of the time Tuesday were other
favorable symptoms of the situation.

MISSING ACTOR BAfflts:POlICt
THEORY ADVANCED THAT HITCH.
COCK MAY BE nlDiNG BEHIND
"MAkE-UP."

New York, Nov. 1.-The disappear
ance of Raymond Hitchcock, following
his indictment by the grand jury
which had heard the stories of the
three little girls, was the absorbing
topic yesterday. on Broadway.
The actors closest friends, who
have energetically defended his name
since he became involved in trouble,
are divided in opinion. Many insisted
yesterday that, driven to desperation
by the serious accusation, he had CON-
mitted suicide. Others were satisfied
that he had been spirited away and
possibly murdered by men who had
practiced blackmaiI on the comedian
and who feared exposure. if the case
against their victim came to trial.
Hitchcock's thoubles have assumed
various phases. He first caused the
arrest of boy who, ne alleged, had
attempted to blackmail him. Dlsclo-
sures in the case led to Hitchick's ar
rest and he was arraigned Monday.
The case went over until yesterday
and he was released on $4,000 bail.
Meanwhile the grand jury returned six
indictments against the actor, some Of
them charging criminal assault and
abduction.
When the original case was called
yesterday and the defendant failed to
appear, his counsel asked that the
bond be continued for one week. The
district attorneys assistant made no
objection and the magistrate set the
hearing for next Wednesday after
noon.
One of Accusers Missing.
New York, Nov. 3.-The bondsmen Of
Raymond Hitchcock still have five
days in which to deliver the comedian
to the court, where he is charged with
offenses against young girls. 1t was
limited yesterday that the actor was
living quietly in this city and would be
on hand to face his accusers when the
case is called next Wednesday.
Neither his wife, it is said, nor his
bondsmen and counsel, have received
the slightest clue to his whereabouts.
The police continued their search
yesterday, canvassing the lodging
houses of the theatrical district keep
ing men posted at the railway and
steamship terminals, and even calling
upon the authorities of other cities to
hold Hitchcock should he be recog-
nized in their locality.
Accuser Is Missing.
A new twist to the complication was
was given yesterday when the police
attempted to locate Bella Mckenzie:
aged seventeen years, one of Hitch
cocks accusers. She left home a
month ago and subsequently took
rooms in West Sixtieth street. Ac-
cording to agents of the Childrens
society, she had met Hitchcock since
his troubles began. She left her last
lodging about the time the actor was
indicted. The police believe that the
girl could throw some light on what
has become Of Hitchcock.
The only other developments yes
terday were in the way of new theo-
ries regarding the actors disappear
ance. The most fanciful theory and
one which found some favor, was that
the actor had called into play his
makeup" genius and by clever dis
guise was enabled to roam at will
about the city.

BANK RUNS ARE SUBSID|NG

New York, Nov 8. - The financial
situation was gradually clearing yes
terday, without showing any striking
features. Runs on the banks and trust
companies are practically over. Mon.

from banks subject 20 runs is flowing
into the stronger banks, and currency
is being provided in most cases where
the demand for it is considered legitl-
mate,
Further engagements of gold by Bos.
ton and other points have brought up
the total engagements abroad under
the recent movement to $26,550,000.
The Lusitania, which sailed from Liv-
erpool yesterday, has on board about
$10,000,000 in gold, one of the largest
single shipments ever made.
Prices on Exchange Firm.
Prices on the exchange were firm
during the early part of the day, and
did not yield seriously at any time.
The fact that the stock exchanges of
London and Paris were closed on ac-
count of All Saints day prevented any
comparison of quotations.
Balances with the clearing house
have settled down to normal condi-
tions, but there is still something of a
blockade in domestic exchange
through the unwillingness of New
York banks to pay currency on drafts
from other cities and the unwilling
ness of other cities to pay out their
currency upon drafts from New York.
The condition of affairs indicates a
continued pressure for currency rather
than a breakdown of credits, but rea-
sonable demands are being met for
regular customers Of the banks.
Hasten Export Movement.
The possibility of fastening the ex-
port movement of wheat and cotton
still engages the attention of foreign
exchange dealers and also of those
who endeavor to keep in touch with
the general situation. Doubt is ex-
pressed whether the secretary of the
treasury will be able to carry out on
any considerable scale the project of
the New Orleans exporters for accept
ing cash at government fiscal agencies
abroad and transferring it by tele-
graph to points in this country, but
Secretary Cortelyou is understood to
be willing to make such deposits Of
public money at cotton exporting
points as will to a considerable extent
relieve the strain.

Collapse of Market Is Boon to Swine

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Nov. 2. = The
barley market has utterly collapsed,
and the local price is 35 cents for the
best grade, while the poorer grades
sell for considerably less. The selling
practically has ceased, however, as
nearly all of the farmers realized that
high prices were not likely to continue
and rushed their barley to market
early in the season What they have
left will be fed to the hogs. The fall
in price really has been boon, as
continued high prices would have
meant the practical wiping out of the
