Counterfeit silver dollars have been
in Hattiesburg the past
week, and it is believed that some

and when it was learned that they
were not genuine they were redeemed.
One such dollar was paid by the ex-
press office to the post office and a
like course was followed when the
spurious nature of the coin was detect

Daily Stock Letter.

copyright 1912 by the New York
Evening Post Company.
NEW YORK, Oct Following
the check applied to the speculative
spirit by yesterdays high call money
rate, the stock market was subjected
to another test today, There were in
fact two distinct incidents OF
the day which would natur-
ally have worked against stock
exchange values. One was the
"Balkan war scare" the other, the
treasury's positive announcement
that it would not undertake to relieve
the money stringency through special
deposit of public funds in the banks.
AS regards the war scare" most
observant people will probably take
the limitations calmly and await de-
velopments. Wall street has passed
through abortive political alarms of
this sort pretty often in the past, and
ed from such experience is that a
sudden cutlery over imminent foreign
war is apt to be raised at precisely
the moment when English and CONT
mental stock exchanges are ready for
a break Prices broke violently
enough on these markets today; but
just how much of the weakness was
due to Balkans" and how much to
the expectedly heavy drafts by New
York on the European money tar
kets, is perhaps debatable.
