New York. Nov. 2o.-The general course
of to-day's stock market was discourag-
ing at least to speculative buyers of
stocks for the rise. The market was
steadier and duieter than it was yester-
day. and such declines as took place were
with but few exceptions among the lead
ing stocks less than were witnessed yes
terday. On Tuesday, TO, there was more
than a suspicion that manipulative ef-
fcrts TO depress prices were being re-
sumed, while to-day evidences were plain

was no gainsaying the fact, on she other
hand. that Liquidation in the market was
still going on. The decision of the At
lsntic Coast Line directors yesterday to
defer the declaration Of their semi-annual
dividend until December was the osten-
siole reason for the break at one time Of

Currency Premium Advances.
There were also one or two other per-
turbing influences in the situation to-day.
The premium on currency advanced
sharply in the afternoon. as did the rate
for call money on the Stock Exchange.
and one explanation offered for these
developments was. people were providing
themselves with cash IN order to sub
scribe to the new government issue of
Panama canal bonds and certificates Of
Indebtedness. 1t must be said that con-
siderable annoyance. If not exactly dis
quietude, was manifested in banking
parlors to-day, over the failure of the
Treasury Department to issue a formal
statement clearing up the antiquities

posed securities and the relations that
viii have 10 borne to them by the ma
tional banks that subscribe to the issue.

WHEELS OF JUSTICE STOP.
Illness Of Defendant Cause of Tenn
porary Suspension.

The wheels of justice in the District
branch of the Police Court temporarily
ceased to revolve shortly before 1 o'clock
this afternoon. when John A. Kelly. a de-
PENDANT, accused of violating the health
laws, was overcome by illness and fell to
the floor with groan. He was carried from
the court room as soon as possible and later
was removed to his home. 80 Myrtle street,
in the wagon of the sixth precinct.
The case had been on trial for about five
minutes, when the defendant succumbed
Inspector Whitaker of the health Office
was on the stand and Judge Kimball asked
him question when Kelly suddenly pitch
ed forward. His head struck an iron pillar
of the dock and a deep cash in his forehead
resulted.
Policemen Hatton and Hooper. who were
near by, rushed to the aid of the sick man
and assisted him to an adjoining room. Mr..
Kelly stated that he fell from a roof upon
which he was working few weeks ago
and he has not been we'll since that time.
The trial of the case was continued until
Mr.. Kelly is able to appear in court.

WAR VETERAN DEAD.
Sketch Of Career Of Capt. Nelson
Ames of Iowa.

Inforation has been received by Capt.
Newton Ferree. department commander of
the G. A. R.. of the death of soldier of
the civil war who had many friends in this
city. The deceased was Capt. Nelson Ames.
of the most prominent civil war veterans
In the state His death was the result of
chronic ailments. brought on, it Is said, by
his strenuous army service.
In the civil war the deceased commanded
Battery G. LIST New York Light Artillery,
and during the famous charge at Gettys-
burg. July 2. 1866. II Is explained, he held
the peach orchard. and with his guns dis
abied the confederate battery. preventing
Gen. Hoods advance. 1t Is said the action
which seemed assured. The state of New
York, by an act Of the legislature. erected
a monument in 1893 at the exact spot where
the gums we're stationed.
In the Virginia campaign OF 1862 Ames
was directed to plant a battery to hold a
certain position. He reconnoitered on horse
back and found himself surrounded by con-
federate pickets, who demanded hts sur
render. He turned suddenly to the left
flank. spurred his horse, escaped under
sharp running fire, and reached the lines
with eleven bullet holes In his clothing and
one slight wound. In 1884 he was damned
between spokes of the artillery carriage
while In action. and was SO injured that he
was compelled to leave the service late that
year.
AS mayor In the latter SOS he came into
prominence by presenting q member of the
Soldiers Home with a gold-headed cane, re-
placing the one the soldier had broken over
the head OF an English navy pensioner who
called the veteran government pauper.

Attention is called at the Treasury De-
partment to the Secretarys circular of
October %. 1906. which authorized national
banks having government deposits secured
by United States bonds to substitute ap-
proved state and municipal bonds for the
governments to the amount of $1S,OO0,OOO,

were used as a basis for increased circula-
ton, and provided, further, that this in
creased circulation should be reduced at
the rate of 5000, 900 a month beginning
March 1, 1907.
In view of the provisions of the so-called
Aldrich act passed in the closing days of
the last Congress. which increased the

tired in any one month from 100000 to
50 600 600, Secretary Cortelyou has decided
to allow all depOstary banks to retire, at
their direction. an aggregate of $9.0O0.O0O

ever, which took advantage of the Secre-
tary's circular of October % will be ex-
pected to retire their increased circulation

DECLINES TO ACCEPT PASTEL.
Photographer Sues Marshal Palmer on
Alleged Contract.

Tinted States Marshal Aulick Palmer was
the defendant in a suit heard today by
Justice of the Peace Samuel c. Mills. in
which George Prince, the photographer,
sought to recover the sum of $40 for the
painting of a pastel portrait. which, it was
stated, Marshal Palmer refused to accept
when finished. 1t was alleged by Mr..
Prince that about one month before Christ
mas, 1906, Mr.. Palmer called at his estab-
nshment and had several sittings taken
for pictures. Later he admired a pastel Of
Mr.. John Joy Edison and another Of the
late Senator McMillin. the photographer
claimed and asked the price for a pastel
of himself. The amount was fixed at $40
for the picture, with an additional $20 for
a frame If the same should be desired
The marshal, 1t was stated. ordered pas
TEL but did not like the work after 1t was
finished He so informed the photographer
1t was alleged. and when Mr. Prince asked
If he had any suggestions to make that
would in any way improve the likeness 1t
stated on the stand that later Marshal
Palmer, in company with Admiral Kenny.
called at the studio and after viewing the
work left the place:
he said that in communication to the
photographer he had said IL the finished
portrait did not suit his caprice, fancy or
within he would not accept the same. He
stated that when 1t was finally finished he
did not consider 1t the picture that he de-
sired, and that he refused to accept 1t. The
marshal stated to Justice Mills. 81 said 1t
did not strike me-"
Marshal Palmer stated that he consid-
cred his refusal to accept the picture as
final, as he had plainly stated in COM
munfcation to Mr.. Prince that X the pastel
did not suit him in every way he was In
no wise under obligation to accept 1t. The
case was being argued by the attorneys
when The Stars report closed.
II 10 stated that X the photographer
loses judgment before Justice Mills he will
appeal to the higher court.
