cidentaIly Shot.
Fort Dodge, March 20.-J. w. Eaton,
living in this city, was accidentally
shot while on his way from the new
hospital to take the car back to the
city. The bullet narrowly escaped en-
tering his eye and lodged in the cheek
bone. Medical aid was sought at once
and the bullet removed, so that no
serious results are anticipated.
That the bullet was stray one from
a shotgun of some hunter. seems very
probable, and it is not thought that
any one had evil designs on the chance
victim of the bullet. That even the
accidental shooting did not result ser
iously is fortunate, and probably
caused the person who held the gun
a sigh of decided relief, altho he man
aged not to reveal himself to persons
who began at once to look about for
the rash hunter who was indulging
himself within the city limits.

New York, December 15.-The Reading I *sidend increase gave the stock market

 1ity. Operators in stocks were difri-
 mt about committing themselves to mar

 bal of uneasy surmise.
 I The weakness lof the stock yesterday Ind at times today gave rise to an inn |tession that the strongly claimed hopes III dividend increase were to be dis Ebpointed Che rumor on the subject |leged that the Lehigh dividend was be raised as preliminary to the Heading increase. With the announce |aent in the change in the form, but lot in the amount of the Lehigh Valley |ividend Reading rallied from Its weak ess and rose above ITO for the first time turing the day. The actual announce |lent of the increase In the Reading divi- end to the per cent rate came in the |alf hour of the market. There was a |pasmodic jump in the stock to 171&, but |E sold off again and carried back the
 eneral market with It to an irregular
 losing. This interrupted general re-
 overy from the early weakness com hon to the whole list.
 Use was made as a depressing infiu- lnce of the formal declaration of war against the open shop position of the United States Steel corporation by tho labor conference at Pittsburg. A loss of ! point at the opening measured the ex- lent of this influence and marked the broverbial disinclination of habitual stock operators to sell stocks on strike.
 Remittances to London to provide Tor payment of obligations on American se- eurities held abroad continue, and held up the exchange rate to near the gold export level. A hardening of London discount rates and resort of borrowers to the Bank Df England, kept up the attraction for outside funds, although the inauguration of a trans Atlantic gold movement would be expected to point towards Paris from New York, owing to the obligations of the London market to the Bank of France.
