RAISING OF RATES.

New York, Nov. THE contest OF
the European money markets TO re
tain gold resources was indicated by
the simultaneous action today NJ
three large central banks OF Europe
and the call for a meeting tomorrow
of the governing board of a fourth.
The Bank of England advanced tho
rate of discount from six to seven per
cent. a rate which has not before been
reached since 1873. The Bank Of
France advanced the rate from three
and a half to four and fixed the rate
for leans on securities at four and p
half The national banks of Belgium
advanced the rate from five and
half to six. and the governor OF the
Imperial Bank Of Germany called
meeting of the governing board Tor
tomorrow which is expected 10 ad-
vance the rate from six to seven per

there shall not be large speculation
fer the rise at the present time.
rhey believe such a movement would
act only be artificial and likely to
cad to disappointments, but would
make calls upon the money market
which cannot well be met under the
present conditions.
The engagements Of gold today
brought up the total importation on
the present movement to 40425,000
an amount which would permit loan
expansion of more than $3.50, 900

day.
The temporary scarcity of currency
by hoarding and the desire
of the banks TO husband their re-
serves, is being met very generally,
according TO reports reaching New
York bankers, by the issue of printed
certified checks or temporary inter
rst bearing notes, and in some cases
by script issued by manufacturing
and other nor-banking corporations
This resource was very generally
resorted to in the panic Of 1893 and
no trouble arose from any
such issue.

CONGRESSMAN JONES TO LEAD
BUSINESS MEMS MEETING.
GREAT CROWD WILL GO
FROM NORTH YAKIMA
Secretary Harris States That His
Town Will Give Royal Enter
tainment-TO Organize.

Details for the event being ar
ranged by the Toppenish commercial
club through which it is expected
that the publicity efforts of the
Yakima valley will be concentrated
in one organization and the bust
ness men also united in some social
organization for the entire section
are being arranged by Secretary Har-
ris, who was in the city yesterday.
Invitations will not be issued until
1t is known whether Congressman
Jones will be able to De the principal
speaker for the banquet or not, and
what date will be suitable for him.
1--WE expect large and enthusi-
astic gathering" said Secretary Har-
ris. Business men in every city of
the valley say they will be present
when the banquet is spread in the
new Gilbert building. One side of
the structure will be used as recep-
ton room and meeting place and the
other store will be the banquet hall.
Although there is no program
outlined, it is probable that there
will be business meeting about 5
O'Clock in the afternoon, the ban
quet to follow, and then Congress-
man Jones will he the speaker of
the evening.
I'VE expect that the congressman
will head big delegation from
North Yakima, composed of business
mon and their wives. We have as
surances that there will be many
present from here, although it has
been impossible to present formal in
vitations as yet.
Some of the finest fruit from
Parker bottom and Zilah. as well as
melons and cantaloupes from Top
penish. will be sevved at the ban
quet, and it will be made an event to
be remembered.
The idea of the Toppenish COM
mercial club has been warmly ap-
proved in North Yakima, as well as
other cities of the valley, and the
belief is generally expressed that
some means can be devised so that
all of the commercial clubs and 9TH
err bodies working for advancement
OF the Yakima country will be unit
ed and efforts concentrated, especial
ly in advertising the merits of the
valley.

Females Are To Furnish Music.

The state fair commission has ar
ranged for a female brass band from
Boston to furnish music in eonnec-
ton with the Hugh Schmidt band of
Tacoma during the week of the
Washington state fair.
The engagement with the Nat Rees
carnival company has been called off,
as the company demanded conces-
sions which the board of state fair
commissioners did not feel in a
mood to grant, and as result the
Cyclone Carnival company has been
secured as an added attraction. 1t
is stated that the Cyclone company
eclipses the Rees company in many
and that amusements of
a much better and more varied char
acter will be furnished throughout
The state fair, in addition, will
have attractions never before dream
ed of by the people of North Yakima.
and in every particular will be big
ger and better than ever before.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-

that the generally accepted limita-

low the attainment possible with the
advanced knowledge of which the
race is now possessed. The critical
period. that determines its duration,
seems to be between so and so; the
proper care of the body during this

carelessness then being fatal to long
