All indications suggest a slow but sure hardening of money rates, says Banker Clews. The stiffcning which usually accompanies preparations for January disbursements is of course only temporary and should disappear by the middle of next month. But there arc other and more permanent influences at work which means high CT interest rates. Chief among these will be the new demands for capital
 In the first eleven months of this year the new security issues were estimat- cd at about $l.J00,O00,OO0 against S1,200,000,o00 the same time last year. Of this total two-thirds roughly speaking, were railroad is sues, During the next few months still larger applications may be eX- pected, because the necessities of the railroads are far from satisfied, and it must be remembered that financial operations were very seriously defer red by the panic Now that conf dence is being restored such nesotia- tions will of course be resumed. This the supply of securities and higher rates of interest; conditions which it IS needless to point out are not ia
 vorable to still higher prices. The future of the money market, how ever, will be affected by additional considerations. A larger mercantile demand for funds is sure to develop next year with the improvement in business, and this demand must in eVitably be met. Again, the reserves of the associated banks are showing almost sensational declines; gold ex- ports have been resumed and may be expected to continue, because in the absence of a sufficient supply of grain and cotton bills we must send gold to fill the deficiency We can not expect to ship securities to any great extent at these prices, since Europe has been selling Americans and bluntly telling us we are on too high a plane. Hence, with increas- ing demands for money, disappearing bank reserves and prospective gold exports it follows that money rates must work gradually higher.

DIED IN NINE DAYS.
East Haddam Man Had Insurance
 Policy for $1,OOO.

Hartford, Dec 21.-Nine days after an insurance policy of 1000 was issued on his life, John E. Shea of East Haddam died. and the efforts of his widow, Katherine o. C. Shea, to collect the amount of the policy from the Travellers Insurance company results in an interesting case in the superior court, which came up last week on an argument of demurrer to the answer of the in sUrance company
 Mr Shea signed an application for insurance on December ,. 1907; the application was accepted on Decem Der 24. and the policy issued on De cember 27. The complaint sets out that Mir Shea died a natural death on January ,. 1908, that demand was made for the payment of the face of the policy and payment was refused by the defendant.
 The answer of the defendant sets cation Mr Shea stated that he had never been declined insurance, when as a matter of fact he had been de Clined, and that in the application he said he had never had asthma when he had had asthma, Further that the policy required that he first premium of S49.35 should he paid while the insured was in good health, and the defendant claims that on January 3, 1908. while the insured was on a sick bed and only two days before his death, but while his condition was unknown to the defendant. he caused the first pre- mium payment to he made.
 The peculiar phase of the case is hat the policy in no way makes any reference 10 the application, and this was practically the ground of he plaintiffs $ demurrer 10 the an swer. E. NJ. Day argued for the plaintiff and R. C. Dickenson for the defendant

Plans are under way st Des Moines, Iowa for large reinforced concrete amphitheater, to cost in the neighborhood of $225,0OO, and with d seating capacity of 16,000. It is intended for the stale fair grounds, and after an extended visit through Canada and the east, the officials and architect in charge of the matter de- cided that concrete. from the stand point of utility and durability, would best answer their purpose. The plan of structure at Toronto will be followed in the main, with additional ideas taken from Detroit and the Bel mont park amphitheater in New York It will be built in a semi circle. with only one flight of seats, thus seating all as near the finish wire as possible.

The recent demonstrations of experts, however that tuberculosis can be cured In any climate, has led 10 considerable distribution of the bed capacity and has called into ex- lstence large number of small sana- toria hospitals, and day camps, some of them with capacity of only six beds, This Is shown by the fact that, while the number of sanatoria during the last four years has more than doubled. the increase in the number of beds has been only about so per cent
