Numerous Favorable Devel- opments on the New York Stock Exchange Imparts a Greater Cheerfulness to the General Outlook
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-Numerous favorable developments imparted d greater cheerfulness 10 the general financial situation. Bond trading on the stock exchange was larger and broader in the aggregate than at any time since resumption, and greater firmness was shown by the more sea soned issues. Declines in some ob- scure bonds were again severe from two and one-half to almost six points. More substantial advances included the Rock Island, fours and lives, New Haven siXes, New York Railway ad- justment lives, and West Chester and Boston four and one-halfs, the latter recovering nine and one-half points of their mid-year spectacular decline
 The exchanges decision to issue daily what amounts to an official list of transactions in stocks also stimulated confidence. Several active stocks were added to the already long
 list of securities which were in de- mand well above minimum prices
 Accepting. the new high price re- corded by New York city sixes as q criterion, there was increased inquiry for almost all classes of short term notes. The five million Swedish gov ernment loan taken by a syndicate promised every success, the high in terest yield being attractive. There were many rumors of further loans to foreign governments by our bank CTS, but these were unconfirmed. Money for shorter terms was obtain able at lower rates and call loans went at three and one half per cent. The local flow of money indicated that the' clearing house institutions have lost considerable sum to the lsub-treasury due largely to the heavy payment of war tax, and the further retirement of emergency currency. London exchange was dull and slightly easier Additional railway returns for October showed further
 heavy losses in net earnings.

tAssoCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHl

CHICAGO. Dec. 3-Charged with forfeiung the bond on which Carlton Hudson Betts had been held in New York twenty years ago, while accused of forgery, Carlton Hudson, a wealthy attorney and for many years an active members of the Moody church, was arrested at the request of the New York police. Hudson will not discuss his identification as Betts, the bond jumper of twenty years ago. The po- lice claim the identification is complete.
 Hudson would make no statement. Although he is reported to have pros pered and taken an important part in numerous financial deals since coming here, Hudson became best known through a suit that he and others filed recently naming Swift and Armour and other Chicago packers as packers of Louis Eihle, an attorney who organized a cottonseed oil corporation.
 On the strength of the commercial rating given Eihle as promoter of the company, Hudson and others charged they had loaned the lawyer al- most S250,000. Unable to force pay ment of the alleged loan, Hudson and others named the packers as co-de- fendants in the suit in hopes of recov- ering from them. This suit is pending, Eihle and the packers denying the charges.
 Hudson was released on bond and will be given a hearing tomorrow at which a continuance will be asked, his attorneys stated. The arrest was made on complaint of Dr. Charles Sanders, whose uncle went on Betts' bond in 1Qa1

LONDON, Dec. 3-With a lull in the battle in the west which had as sumed the proportions of a heavy cannonade at widely separated points and with only occasional infantry attacks interest is now centered all most entirely in the struggle in Po- land. At last the Russians have ap- preached within firing distance of Cracow. their steady advance from Przemysl having proceeded without 'any real check.
 They are reported today to be mounting heavy batteries around the town of Wieliczka, which they occu- pied yesterday and from which the outer forts of Cracow can be reached. Important as is this-for the fall of Cracow would lay open the roads to Vienna. BresIau and Berlin-the main interest in the east continues to rest with the operations on the irregular front from CzenstOchowa, through Lodz and Lowicz to the east Prussian border Official announcements as to the progress here are guarded and indefinite and it is thus difficult to arrive at a conclusion with regard to the course of events.
 It is apparent, however, new bat tie has developed to the southwest of LodZ. where the Germans have formed a new line with fresh forces brought from Kalisz, and are again trying to penetrate the Russian cen ter. The Russians, too, have had time to straighten out their line and in the eyes of the allies another bat tile following so closely that just concluded in this region must helr | them in the long run, for it is argued that win or lose, the Germans must be further weakened. and ir i addition will soon have to turn their attention to the Russian offensive against Silesia, around Cracow.
 On the other hand, German experts believe the defeat of the Russians would enable the German generals tC unite all their forces for another blow against the allies in the west.

General Witherspoon said no new

reign of terror in the capital and
confirm the reports of anti-American

well organized and all foreigners are

violence, however, from overpower-
