 MosIenn Resentment.

London, Dec. 22.-Up to a late hour tonight nothing new in the news oon- cerning the attempt on the life of Ba- ron Hardinge. viceroy of India, had reached London. The motive for the attempt is a mystery on which 1t will be impossible to hazard a guess until it is known whether the miscreant is a Hindu or a Mussulman- It is not known as yet whether the bomb thrower has been arrested.
 Intense indignation is expressed goth in Calcutta and London over the incl dent. Fears are expressed that it may have been a manifestation of Moslem resentment at the British occupancy of tn ancient Mohammedan capital of India
 It is asserted that a warning reach ed London some time ago to the effect that some violence would be attempted by Mohammedans on the occasion of the state entry of the viceroy to Delhi
 Great sympathy is extended to Baron and Baroness Hardinge as a result of the attack and much admiration is ex- pressed over their courageous conduct According to accounts received here tonight the viceroy underwent two operations for the extraction of the pieces of the bomb that penetrated bis shoulder.
 The vice-regal council held meet ing today at Delhi to discuss the ap- pointment of substitute for the vice roy in case Baron HRrdinge is laid up for a protracted period.

One factor that Is working well for
the market Is the accumulation of
money. All the banks are having an
increase In their deposits, the demand
for accommodations has dropped on,
and rates are likely to work easier.
The adjustment uf dividends to un-
satisfactory business results is another
matter that Wall street Is greatly in
terested In. Such an adjustment is
necessary and must be made IN many
corporations. IT ought not to make any
difference to bondlroldnrs, t'ut share
holders will ind incomes reduced In
many corporations.
Stock issues are coming ont rather
freely, and the work of refundng bonds
goes on in an endless chain. Norfolk

new stock issues.
Some of the good houses are talking
of the long pull looking good, while ad-
hitting that there Is no incentive for a
bull market at this time.
