in Europe-Profits in sight-Bsr-
gain Hunters Abroad Already Nib
bling at Prime Securities-Only a
Few at Present.

A financial force that will furnish
a mighty uplift of no meaK measure
to the monetary situation throughout
the United States may be reckoned
upon to make itself felt within the
near future, when European investors,
according to views expressed in New
York city by international banking
houses, are expected to come to the
New York market and purchase stand
ard securities whose prices have been
forced to low levels by urgent liquida-
ton.
Purchases of American securities on
large scale by foreign investors
spell gold imports of large proper
tions, and the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that millions would soon be
poured into New York in payment for
securities purchased at the present
level. Arbitrage houses already re-
port purchases of an investment
character by foreigners and as the sit
uation clears the purchases will in
crease.
England and the continent bought
largely of American securities last
March, when the local market was suf-
fering from a severe decline, and arbi-
TRACE brokers now say that bargain
hunters abroad are again nibbling at
good American securities.
1--WE are going to have some feat
ures of 1898 over again" said a mem
Der of an international banking house.
After the storm came the calm in
that year, and while we were adjusting
ourselves to a new order of affairs the
European investor came into our mar
ket and bought heavily of our stocks,
which did more than anything else to
bring needed gold to our shores. The
storm center is now behind us and pur-
chases for foreign account will soon
help swell our credit abroad and pre-
vent cessation of gold importation.
have London advices that many Eng
lish institutions are disposing of Eng
/ lish and Argentine railroads in prepar-
alton for investment in this market. A
momentary stringency brought about
by an excess of prosperity can never
be provocative of continued distrust
of our institutions, and with a clearing
situation the capital of Europe will
find its way here for investment when
the yield on the investment is greater
than in any financial market in the
world"
European houses are said to be bare
of American securities which were
sold here last summer, according tC
reports made by arbitrage houses here
and these houses may now be consid
cred as probable purchasers of the
very securities which they sold many
points higher than present prices.

Street Cars Collide
In Seattle Suberb

Seattle, Wash, Nov. ~. - Forty
women and children were injured, 26
of them quite seriously, in a streetcar
accident here, when two speeding cars
crashed into each other in a dense fog
Both cars were smashed up and 70 per
cent of the passengers injured.
The accident was due to the foolhar-
dy attempt of the conductor and motor
man of the city bound car to steal a
switch on the outbound car. The track
ran over a trestle above the tide fats
and the fog made it impossible for the
men in charge of the cars to see each
other until within a few feet. The
coaches narrowly escaped topling over
into deep water. Several of the victims
may die, among them Motorman II. T.
Huffine. the man who attempted to
steal the switch.
The place where the accident oc-
CURED is several miles from Seattle on
a single track line, and the injured
were without medical attention or
competent aid until a special relief car
arrived A feature of the accident
was the number injured about the head
and face, due to striking against the
backs of the cross seats. Among the
injured is @. I. Harbough, a travelling
passenger agent for the Pennsylvania
railroad system. G. w. Smith, assist
ant librarian of the state university, is
aslo a victim.

Grain Supply ENCOURAGING.

The Wall Street Journal says: The
American markets are much better
supplied with visible grain than at
any time in the last four years, for
this season of the year The visible
supply is higher by 100000 bushels
than in 1906. 100000 bushels higher
than in 1905 and 100000 bushels
above the visible supply of 1904
Judging from this supply. the country
could readily increase its exports of
wheat. corn and oats to the point of
IS 000 900 a week. provided traffic IA
cilities were such as to bring the
product to the seaboard.

THE NORTHWEST is ALL RIGHT.
Crops Are Bound to Bring Money to
the Country.


The financial situation of Chicago
and the northwest is mainly matter
of unlocking. That is to say, the or
binary facilities for commerce and the
transactions of banking business have
been curtailed by the shortage OF cur
rency. The bankers are taking steps
to return to the normal conditions.
They did not consider it safe yet, how
ever, to begin the payment of cur
rency money whenever demanded, and
checks ON the clearing house for small
amounts are now in preparation, to
be used as currency money.
1t is almost certain that these checks
will be issued this week and several
million dollars of them will then be
available. But meanwhile the Golfers
of the banks and the pockets of indiv-
iduals have been somewhat replenish-
ed by the importation of over $4,000
900 of gold, and the deposits OF the
United States government in national
banks have been increased several
millions. Seemingly, it is question
of a few weeks at the longest when
money will be freely in circulation.
There is no manner of doubt that
the northwest is richer now than ever
before, not merely in fixed assets, but
in Immediately available capital. AS a
small illustration it may be mentioned
that the shipments of wheat and -four
for 10 weeks of the crop year amount
ed to S2,S53,000 bushels, against g.
100000 bushels for the corresponding
period last year, and the amount of
money received for this product is
much greater per unit than last year.
1t is to be assumed that shipments
from this time on will be less active
than heretofore, because the supply of
currency is small and many of the
farmers refuse to accept checks. This
very fact however, shows that the
producing class is financially strong
enough to sell when they get ready.
The country banks have more cur
rency than ordinarily at this time of
the year, but are holding it for fear
it will be boarded by individuals if
paid out. The excess of shipments Of
currency over receipts in Chicago dur
ing October was $24,711,510, against
$16,765,0 900 the corresponding month
last year.

TOWN WAS SAVED BY HERO
Engineer Runs Cars of Dynamite
Away From Town.

Away From Town.
Douglas, Ariz, Nov. 10.-The death
list as a result of the Nacozari explo-
sion is now placed at IA or Is, all Mex
leans, besides John Chisholm, aged 10,
who was riding on the train when the
explosion occurred
A train on the narrow gauge railway
to the Pilares mine in some way
caught fire. In the train were two
open cars loaded with explosives, and
the fact that the concentrator and a
good part of the town of Nacozari was
saved from ruins was due to the
bravery of the Mexican engineer of
the train, Jesus Garcia. Realizing
that to cut out the burning cars and
escape on the engine would expose the
town to probable destruction, he called
to the rest of the crew to jump and
started to run the train away from the
town. He had taken it about a half
mile when the explosion occurred, and
he was blown to atoms. 1t is reported
that another member of the crew stay
ed with him and was killed. The heavy
death list is due to the fact that the
explosion occurred just as the traE
was passing a section house in which
there were number of section men.
