Despite the fact that money renewed

stiff interest rates for the first week or

Tumble ON Sales by Spectators.

New York. Dec. 30.-AH the financial
markets OF the world to-day were under
the influence OF the distinct improvement
In the general financial situauon.- which
first began 10 make itself felt in the mid
= die OF last week. Undoubtedly the root
OF this change for the better Is to be
found IN our own country, rs most vlsi-
bic sign being the practical disappearance
Of the premium on gold here which lasted
for two months. and while It was in ex-
istence served TO complicate matters in all
leading financial centers.
This premium began to slide away last
week under the large offerings of money
In the New York market By interior
banks and because OF the fact that banks
IN this city are now substantially on a
basis Of full cash payments.
No Demand for Call Money.
Although active preparations for the
New Years disbursement OF nearly 5000
0oo.00O were in fun force here to-day the
highest price paid for call money on the
stock exchange was but 20 per cent, short
ly after the opening OF business. and the
rate fell Continually thereafter until the
kfnd Of the session when but S. per cent

Iday at all interfered with by the news.

Misunderstanding Most Active.

New York. Dec. 3O-To say that Wall
street was satisfied with Saturdays bank
statement would very inadequately ex-
press the feelings of the financial CON-
munity to-day regarding the money situa-
ton. Not merely the latest statement ot
the associated banks was considered. The
fact that for three successive weeks there
had been a steady Improvement In the
position of these institutions was every
where commented upon as most hopeful
sign, and aroused a feeling little short Of
enthusiasm, which contrasted sharply
with the dependency displayed even IN
banking circles only a few short weeks
ago.
Next to the substantial Improvement in
the position of the local banks disclosed
by the figures published on Saturday the
fact that no attempt was made by Ameri-
can bankers 10 obtain any part OF the
el,0Oo,O0O gold laid down in the open
market In London exerted the most i'm
portant influence as a maker OF sentiment
favorable TO the advance in the prices Of

Died at the Throttle.

The lives of more than sixty pasSen-
gers, most of them residents of the fash
ionable suburbs along the main line Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, we're i'm
perilled last night. when William Arm
strong, engineer of local train, died
with bis hands on the locomotive throt-
lie. The train left the Broad street sta
ton, Philadtlphis, at 7:45. 1t carried
large number of residents along the
line.
The train reached Ardmore on time,
at sos. Armstrong then gave no eYi-
dence of illness. The big locomotive
pulled out Of the station with increasing
speed. As the train nesred Hayerford
the firemen and the crew noticed with
surprise that there WAS not the usual
Stacking for the stop at that station, at
Sill.
Instead, the train increased its speed
every second and dashed through Hsyer-
ford at the rate OF a mile a minute. The
fireman climbed into the cab and found
Armstrong huddled in his seat, with his
hand limp upon the wide-open throttle.
II was the work of a second to check the
flyinr monster, thus averting the dan
Ger If q rear-end collision with another
train.
The engineer it is thought had beer
dead for some time. He was sixty year
old and lived in Philadelphia.
