NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

New York, November 2O.-Ihere
was not the consistent weakness III
the stock market today that was so
conspicuous yesterday, but the course
of prices was uncertain and huctua-
ting all day. Liquidation OF the speclaI
kind that was in evidence yesterday
was suspended for a time today. The
perception of this fact prompted some
covering of shorts put out during the
decline, hence the midday rally IN the
market There was some recurrence
of liquidation late in the day. The
distinctly easier tone of the call money
market in the last day or two does not
serve as assurance against such eNi-
gencies on the occasion of the maturi
ty of time loans. The whole problem
of maturities Of outstanding loans OBJ
legations offers somewhat formidable
possibilities for speculative conjecture,
especially in view of the conviction
that nearly universal indulgence has
been shown during the period OF prac-
tical paralysis Of credit from which
business has suffered.
The ultimate outcome when the bus
mess body begins to feel the currents
of life circulate again and when, in
consequence, liquidation must be re-
newed, is the subject of solicitude.
The development of the day which
was least liked was the renewed rise
in the premium on currency and the
resulting signs of disorder in the for
eign exchange market. The postpone
ment of dividend action on the At
Iantic Coast Line stock caused some
special weakness in the southern group
The calling in of loans by the banks.

Mayor Springer decided yesterday
that in view of the fact that the time
for Lho regular meeting Of the board
of aldermen is only a few days of
and also because OF the absence from
the city of one of the three gentlemen
recent. appointed to investigate the
net earnings of the Clarendon Water

ceive and act on the letter receiS eG
Monady from the Clarendon company
declining the city'D offer of $4,000

This leaves the matter where il has
been for some time and there appears
to be no probability Of an early agree
ment between the two parties TO rhc
controversy.
Superintendent Robertson yesterday
stated that the question over which he
thought he would have to seek judi
cial intervention had been settled and
he would not now make application t.

Wheeler, il will be recalled, was ar

cal police. charged with maintaining
a disorderly place On Market street.
near Water. where he and his wife
conducted restaurant. usually fire.
Quented by negroes. Their young
daughter about l6 years OF age was
being raised in this deplorable en-
virOnment when the Salvation Army
post in this city took hold of the girl
and finally persuaded her TO go TO
the Rescue Home III Philadelphia
where she has been living contendedly
ever since. Wheeler was trying to
get in communication with his daugh-
ter, probably to persuade her TO leave
the home, when the Salvation Army
there on advice from the Local post
caused his arrest.
Several days ago Mayor Springer re
ceiyed a letter from II. w. Gcnthev,
Esq, of Philadelphia, stating that
Wheeler had called On him in reference
to bringing proceedings to regain the
custody of the girlN stating tha;
Wheeler informed him that on the
22nd Of May the girl had been arrested
in this city and sentenced to 80 days
on the roads for diEorderly conduct or
TO 80 days with the Salvation Army
school. A demand for the girl at
Army Headquarters was refused, the
authorities refusing to give her up
without word from the mayor of
Wilmington, and the attorney asked
that he send the authority necessary
to restore the girl to her father.
In reply Mayor Springer recited TO
the lawyer the terrible conditions and
surroundings from which the Young
girl had been rescued, stating that she
was being used by her parents who
kept a vile brothel, for immoral pur-
poses and return tc her father would
he said, mean return to her former
life of unsqeakable viIeness. The
mayor stated that Wheeler, in his
i efforts to secure his daughter, was be
ing influenced and financed by Others
desiring to procure the girl for dis
reputable proposes. Under such cir.
cumstances, he points out, he canno
! lend any aid toward returning hel
to ker father, especially as the cir
has manifested her entire satisfaction
with the life she is now leading.
Thus will be seen what hard effor
| is being made to steal the girl ava,
! from good influences and bring he
! again into the horrible surrounding
