BIG DISBURSEMENTS.
DIVIDENDS AMOUNTING TO $751;
100000 PAID IN NEW YORK
SATURDAY.
All Railroad Pay Rolls and other In
dustriaI Demands Were Also Met
Without a Symptom Of
Money Strineency.

New York, Nov. New York banks
Saturday paid out 100000 in stock
dividends or interest payments, met
the weekly pay rolls of thousands of
mercantile and manufacturing estab-
lishments and provided for the month
ly pay rolls of the big railroad and
other corporations without a tremor.
The three big demands, coming on the
same day, would have proved strain
in the most prosperous times, and the
fact that banks were able to meet all
without trouble shows to what extent
financial stability has been restored.
The interest and dividend payments
are the largest for any November in
the history of the United States, and
show that general prosperity has not
been impeded. OF the money paid out
100000 represented interest on
bonds and S30,O0000 dividends.
Within a few days, it is predicted,
this vast sum will be invested in
stocks and bonds which are selling at
bargain prices, will be returned to the
banks by the sellers of these securities
and will be again in circulation.

PRICE OF MILK IS UP
Increased From Five to Six And
One-Fourth Cents Per Quart.

Owing, it is said, to the high price
of feed, local milkmen have formed an
agreement and have raised the price
Of milk from cents to ga cents a
quart. A few years ago, they say,
milkmen were paying just one-half for
their cereals that they are now, and
at that time were selling milk for five
cents quart. The cattle are fed al
most exclusively on these grains dur
ing the winter months, and for that
reason the milkmen feel that they are
unable to retail milk at the old price.
The raise has been contemplated for
several weeks. Several of the milk
men were tempted to raise the price
to six cents, but being unable to COM
pete with those who held the price
down to five cents, they were forced
to sell at the old price. The raise of
a cent and quarter will only last,
they say, until MaS when the cattle
will be put on pasture.
If the quality and purity of the milk
is maintained, the public will grin and
bear the price with the best grace pos
sible. .H

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS 40
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago. Nov. 2.-The Black Dia-
mond today says:
Something of the attitude of the
Chicago market at the minute is ex-
planned by the tightness Of the money
market. 1t is realized that the demand
for all kinds of fuel is exceptionally
strong. II is realized also that there
is going to be much better demand
a little later on than appears at the
minute. At the same time the buying
of coal just now is rather quiet and in
some places the market is little bit
soft The advancing tendency at least
of last week has been checked and the
best that can be said for the market
today is that it is holding steady. On
the strictly domestic coal it is 'unques-
tionably explained by the fact that
the dealers do not care to stock up a
lot of coal, and thus tie up their money
right now at time when they are
likely to need it. They do not care to
commit themselves any further than
is absolutely necessary and hence the
stocks already on hand are likely to
lprove sufficient for the next few weeks.
The anthracite trade does not show
any improvement over conditions of a
week ago, and great many jobbers
are far behind on their orders on ac-
count of the shortage of equipment
for the interline and interterritorial
movement"

STOLE IMPORTANT PAPERS.
Stenoerapher Tried To Sell Them To
j. r. Walsh.

Chicago, Nov. Miss Eta Mac
Lean, the stenographer in the office of
United States District Attorney Sims,
and Alexander b. Gordee were today
held to the federal grand jury i'll bonds
of $4,000 each on the charge of steal
ing important papers from the office
of the district attorney. The evidence
showed that the woman had taken
numerous letters and papers and that
Gordee had tried to sell them to ]. R.
Walsh, the former president of the
Chicago National bank, now awaiting
trial on the charge of misapplication
of the funds of the bank. They re-
ceived no encouragement from Mr..
Walsh.
Captain Porter of the United States
secret service, declares that Miss Mac
Lean admitted that she had taken let
tiers from the office of the district at
torney.
Captain Porter testified that Miss
MacLean had told him that she had
conferred with Gordee and they had
concluded that if the Walsh people
knew of the existence of certain let
tiers they would be willing to pay well
to get them. At the conclusion of the
hearing Miss MacLean and Gordee
were held to the grand jury in bonds
of $4,000.

The verdict came as surprise to

FAMILY IS REUNITED.
Seven Mccartney Children Will Be
Kept By Parents.

At the adjourned meeting of Juvenile
court, arranged for the final hearing
in the case of the seven Mccartney
children, Judge Willcockson last even
ing succeeded well in the role of peace
maker, and united the family once
more. The children were to have
been placed in a public home last Fri
day evening, but owing to the sharp
competition among several institutions,
the Judge demurred and took occa-
sion to criticize the methods employed
by these institutions to get children.
Upon his promise to the court that
he would return to his wife and chill
dren, Jack Mccartney, who was arrest
I'd Saturday last for desertion, was re-
leased and the family, which would
have been scattered, are once more
united. o. G. G. Phillips and o. N.
Downs appeared for Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
CARNEY and Mr.. Phillips made a
strong plea to the court that the fam
lily be given one more chance.
Mccartney was called to the stand
and promised the judge that from now
On he would support the family. Judge
Willcockson gave Mccartney broth
srly lecture and told him that if he
deserted the family again he would
instruct the grand jury to indict him
and that he would be given the limit
of the law for desertion. Mrs. Nc.
Cartney also promised to reform and
the court instructed the clerk that the
charges of desertion are dismissed
against Mccartney. They were both
put under $500 bonds to keep their
promises. .-....
