At New York, Saturday, money on call v <s tinner at 2® 2%: per cent.; iatt ioan, Sta per rent. Prime mercantile paper, per cent.

Silver certificates, 60%@'61%c; bar silver, 10'.< . Mexican dollars, 46%c. At London bur silv* r closed quiet at 27%d an ounce. The gold and silver movement at New York for the week was: Exports of gold, $166,388; of silver. $1,015,739; imports of gold, Jim.79l; of silver, $206,534. The imports of iT\ goods and general merchandise at New York for the week ending to-day were valued at $7,025,008. The New York weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Surplus, increased $1,690,200 lannis. di used 2,345,400 Spt i ie, de, ; osed ~... 872,10) Legal tender*, decreased 1.693.460 J m posits, decreased 3.703.WX) Citeidation, increased 359,800 The banks now hold $18,357,575 In excess of lia requirements of the 25 per cent. rule. The New York Financier says: “The bank statement of averages for week Nov. 26 .-hows a decrease of $2,345,400 in loans and a gain if $764,300 in cash. As the loan contra, tion has affected the deposits total, the u servo requirements have been lessened, . ad this with current receipts swelled the surplus si.bW,2oo, making the excess above* legal reserve $18,357,575. The statement is confusing in several directions, but as it do. s not cover the full week, the probability ala that conditions reflected do not prevail to-day. The banks have an unusually large amount of money loaned on collateral as a result of active exchange transactions ami borrowings incident to operations of syndicates in connection with recent reorganizations and incorporations, and the loan total therefore is susceptible of sudden changes. The closing of several syndicate inals has returned a great deal of money to banks, and this may be regarded as a contributing factor toward the fluctuations rood. Still, it is to be observed that the cot i as. s in one bank accounts almost alto* g tlioi for the changes in loans and deposits lot the week. The international exchange situation changed somewhat during me v k. and the evident trend of sterling, i< •*i .lowing smaller profits in investi.a nts. has lessened buying. The absorption of in go quantities of sterling bills has contributed directly and indirectly for somo v.t-ks past toward swelling the loans of N't u York banks. 'Hie loss of specie for the v k. amounting to $872,100, was due to op*i . ions with the treasury, representing tne bo..:nee which the banks owed on settlenn ots and sums deposited for telegraidiic ’ sn rs to the South. The gain in legal* :■ su- t lint trend of money from the interior to this center, although at the close of the v *cfk it was estimated that the banks had tost nearly or quite as much as they gained. < ’IRCULATU )N INUREASING. “Thu banks are increasing their circulation to an appreciable extent, the new 3 per cent, bonds being used us a basis. If the s .dement is to be regarded as typical of or. umstjinces controlling the money market, t . i outlook might l*e said to favor easy conoHons, but as the close of the year usually erodes a demand for funds to be employed In dividends and settlements, it is not impossible that rates may harden slightly. Th-- constant outward movement of cereals • ml manufactures is adding to the balance owing this country abroad. The only effect os week was the selling of American sec'lrities on German account, and this is about over. When this balance is to be coih ted is uncertain, but the next thirty days w ii show.whether loans to Europe are to be continued or called for payment.” To a! sales or' stocks were 221,500 shares, including: Atchison, 4,035; Atchison preferred, 25..". .v; Baltimore A Ohio, all assessments j -.d. t.Oiy.

Saturday's short session of the New York k Exchange was long enough for several uncertainties to develop and to resolve themselves again, so that the session, as a w m.lc. continued of th*- same Irregular and mixed character as those of the whole week have been. The strength of Americans on tile Ixmdoct market was not sufficiently pronounced to affect the opening prices, and prices were below the London parity, even w ii.-rc gains were shown. It was clear enough. however, that there was continued good demand for the St. Ig)uls & San Franls, o preferred stocks, and Northern Pa- ' Ki- recorded a recovery of part of Frtca> > decline. There was continued profittaking evident at other-points, and Manhai’an suffered a break of 1% on published <J‘ niala of a Vanderbilt interest, and Tobacco almost as much on the threatened competition in Cigarettes. There were conL'i. nous fractional recessions, also, In the Haiti more <fc Ohio stocks, and the coalers

showed no exhilaration over stories that the trade had been fixed. There was not much encouragement to bear operations in such a market, and when reports by cable w r ere received that the Spanish government had Instructed its commissioners to sign a treaty of peace, the market, generally, turned upwards and quickly retrieved a part of all of the earlier declines. Atchison's October statement helped that company’s preferred stock, and, by sympathy, the entire list. The statement showed a net Increase of $227,437 saved out of the gross receipts. It was announced, incidentally, that the reduction in operating expenses, due to extraordinary expenditures for betterments, would begin on Dee. 1. Good statements of earnings by a number of other railroads helped tlw- recovery. The bank statement was eonsitmred a strong one at first glance, with the Increase in surplus reserve, though subsequent scrutiny of the decreased loan item caused some modification of this view and caused some late reactions. but not until an active buying movement had developed all through the list. There was heavy covering in the Federal Steel stocks and sharp recoveries in the Baltimore & Ohio stocks. The St. Paul & Duluth, and other less prominent issues were also markedly strong. THE WEEK CUT IN TWO. A midweek holiday is almost certain to break in on the course of a market and to curtail operations, except such as are designed to “even up” contracts. The past wee k was no exception, and the movement of prices has been highly irregular at all times, and with intervals inclining towards the reactionary side. The market has, nevertheless, maintained a fair d'-gree of activity, and dealings have been well distributed through a widely extended list of securities. Notwithstanding the process of digesting huge blocks offered for purposes of profit taking and some elements of positive weakness, the market has stood up well under its burdens, and prices are, on the average, higher than they were a week ago. As is likely to be the case where a favorite stock or group of stocks meets heavy offerings to realize, the activity and strength have shifted to new stocks. This is partly the natural turning of the public demand to unexplored regions and partly the result of manipulation, with the purpose of sustaining the market for purposes of realizing. The aggressive attitude assumed by the Northern Pacific towards Oregon Navigation in its policy to extend into disputed territory has brought large blocks of Northern Pacific stock to market from the disgruntled element in the ownership. The large banking interest which seems to have assumed the task of maintaining the price of the stock in face of this liquidation is also known to be deeply interested in the newly-floated Federal Steel Company. The stocks of this company have also tended downwards from the combined effect of the reported failure of the steel rail pool and the disinclination said to exist among the financial institutions tx> hold the stock as* collateral. It was not surprising, therefore. to find other stocks in which this banking interest is largely involved showing evidences of manipulation for an advance and brokers industriously bidding up their prices on the floor of the exchange. Southern Railway, Reading end Erie were conspicuous examples. Profit taking in the Atchison securities was on a large scale and there was some uneasiness felt early in the week over the outcome of the Paris peace conference, which emphasized the Inclination to sell. The strained relations among Northwestern railroads and the snowstorm served to divert the buying demand to other quarters. Besides the coalers, in which there is a perennial short interest to be squeezed, there were rather conspicuous advances in the trunk lines as a group, including Baltimore & Ohio, based on the demonstrated possibility of heavier trainloads and lower train operating expenses. The strength of People’s Gas was explained by the circular to stockholders offering tights to subscribe to new stock issued for the purpose of absorbing additional properties and for other purposes. The belief that Vanderbilt interests have entered into the Manhattkh ownership served to sustain one of the weak members of the list. The apprehenesion felt early in the week that the Berlin money stringency would be reflected on this side has subsided with the easing of the private discount rates at London, Paris and even Berlin itself and the fall in foreign exchange in New York. The bond market has been active and broad during the week and prices, with few exceptions, are higher, though there has heen some irregularity in the movement at times. United States fives, coupon, have advanced %, the old fours, registered, and the new fours %, and the twos, the threes, the old fours, coupon, and the fives, registered, % in the bid price.

The past week, taken as a whole, has been very satisfactory in trade. Thanksgiving, however, cut into trade somewhat. Conditions are very favorable for a good trade until the holidays, as there Is more money in the country which depends on Indianapolis markets for supplies than ever before. Retail merchants are losing fewer bills and buying more liberally under present conditions. Probably no lines of trade have been more benefited by the better times than dry goods, boots and shoes, confectioners, hat and cap dealers and Iron merchants. With the produce nntn much the same volume of business has been experienced as In jgeceding years. The commission merchants have sold piles of goods, but at smalt profit, and

A PATRIOTIC PRELATE. Wliut Mgr. rhnpftclle Proposes to Do in tlie W est Indies. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. —Archbishop P. L. Chappelle, whom the Pope has appointed papal delegate to the West Indies, has returned from his extended visit to Europe and is stopping here a short time on his way to New Orleans. The archbishop expects very soon to enter on his work in Porto Rico. Later he will go to Santiago and then to Havana. Discussing the work in prospect, the archbishop to-day said: “My mission is one of a priest and of an American citizen as well. While striving to watch over the religious interests of the Catholic Church, helping the bishops in the work of reorganization, I shall use my utmost influence to help the government of the United States to succeed in the work of political and social reconstruction. I am, indeed, profoundly convinced that upon that will depend. In large measure, the social, political and economic welfare of the inhabitants of these islands. “I saw President McKinley this morning and had a very satisfactory interview with him. All the relations between the church in Spain and in the two islands ceased so far as the former exercised any authority. Heretofore, you know, the priests were often appointed from Madrid, and Spain exercised great influence and authority, both directly and indirectly. All this is now ended, and for the present the priests and laity come directly under the supervision of the church at Rome. I retain my position as archbishop of New' Orleans. J>ut I am not going to Porto Rico in that capacity. The islands have not been placed under the jurisdiction of an American diocese. What changes may come and what may be done are all problems of the distant future and I cannot discuss them now 7 .” Dartmouth Football Team Defeated. CINCINNATI, Nov. 26.—Cincinnati University sprung a surprise on the champions of the New England Football League here to-day, defeating Dartmouth 17 to 12. All the st oring was done in the first half. Howard Nieman, for Cincinnati, played the best game. Jennings was Dartmouth’s star. The cold weather kept the crowd down to about 600. Dartmouth ran Cincinnati’s ends well, while all the Cincinnati’s gains were through Dartmouth’s line. A Klondike Mastodon Story * VANCOUVER. B. C.. Nov. 26.-J. W. N.

THE JAIL UNDER GUARD THREATS AGAINST JASPER PACE, WHO ASSAULTED A GIRL. Unknown Man Killed at Marlon Found to He Inane Vandevanter, n. Prominent Citizen—Y. P. S. C. E. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DECATUR, Ind., Nov. 26.—Jasper Pace, who resides north of Preble, this county, was arrested this evening by Sheriff Erwin for criminal assault.

LADY BEKESFOKD’S PETS. They Are Pussies of High Degree and They Live in Cottages. London Letter in New York Herald. A few days ago I had a chat with Lady Marcus Beresford about her pet fad, catteries. “I have applications from all parts of the world for my cats and kittens,” she said. “I have lately formed a ciub which has for its object the general welfare of the cat and the improvemenWof the breed. Mrs. Clinton Locke, of Chicago, has become a member of my club, and I do hope the Americans will take to it, for certainly its object is a worthy one. The cat club intends holding its first show in London during the early part of January. The presidents of the club are Lily, Duchess of Marlborough; the Duchess of Wellington and Lord Marcus Beresford. “At one time I had as many as 150 cats and kittens in my catteries. And now' to give you some idea of the houses provided for these pets of mine. There is a pretty cottage covered with vines. No expense has been spared in the fittings of the rooms, and every provision is made for warmth and ventilation. One room is set apart for the girl who takes entire charge of and feeds the pussies. She has a boy who works with her. and performs the rougher tasks. There is a small kitchen for cooking the meals for the cats, and this is fitted W’ith every requisite. On the walls are racks to hold the white enameled bowls and plates used for the food. Then there is a medicine chest, w T hich contains everything that is needful for prompt and efficacious treatment in case pussy becomes sick. On the wall are a list of the names and a full description of all the inmates of the cattery, and a set of rules to be observed by both the cats and their attendants. These rules are not ignored, and it is a tribute to the intelligence of the cat to see how carefully pussy can become amenable to discipline If once given to understand of what that discipline consists. “Then there is a garden cattery. I think this is the prettiest of all. It is covered with roses and ivy. In this there are three rooms, provided with shelves and all other conveniences which can add to the cats’ comfort and amusement. “Considerable attention is paid to the food for my cats, which is varied as much as possible. One day we will have most appetizing bowls of fish and rice. At the proper time you can see these standing ready in the cat kitchen to be distributed. Another day these bowls will be filled with minced meat. In the very hot weather a good deal of vegetable matter is mixed with the food. Swiss milk is given, so there is no fear of its turning sour. For some time I have kept a goat on the premises, the milk from which is given to the delicate or younger kittens. “Cleanliness is a great feature of the cattery. My experience with the Persians in particular has been that they are naturally in their personal habits of that same degree of daintiness that distinguishes the human of the class that is better bred. And I cannot sav that the Siamese are less to be admired in this particular, and it is Interesting to see that, in spite of the wide difference in the breeds, they meet on a common ground of aristocracy, feline though it be,”

Finding; Hi* Level. I r TDetroit Free Press. “Take your hand off me. I don’t care to be pawed all over by a street railway conductor every time 1 take a car.” The person thus protesting was short, fat, important looking and nattily dressed, even to gloves and patent leathers. He had taken a Woodward car near the railroad crossing and was headed for some downtown business that did not require his presence before 10:30. His objection was to having the conductor support him when the car started, and his tone was even more expressive than his language, “All right, sir,” answered the conductor, who would evidently have liked to say several other things were it not that the question of bread and butter was involved. When he removed his hand the natty little fat man went backward along the aisle, frantically missing the straps for which he reached and vainly striving to have his feet keep pace with the momentum of his body. His immediate finish was in the lap of a jolly, red-faced woman. He railed at the conductor for permitting the car to start before he was ready denouncing the service in general, and called the hilarious passengers a pack of jibbering idiots. Then it dawned upon the stout woman that the tidy, little fat man was lingering even as the springs of Michigan linger in the lap of winter. “Get off of here,” she shouted, and to enforce the order she dropped her knees to produce an inclined plane, shot out her strong arms like a football player on the defensive and sent the complainant upon the slats so hard that his hat flew olt and his coat bunched about his shoulders. He yelled to stop the car and went out looking as though he had been rolled under a brush harrow, covering his retreat with the threat that the company would have to pay dearly for such abuse. Obituary. CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Word has been received here of the death from sunstroke at San Juan, Porto Rico, cf George Wiilits, a well-known Chicago financier.

SOUSA DID NOT.APPEAR -A-—— I BUT THE BAND UNDER ARTrffh. PRYOR MADE ITS USUAL HIT. Tlip Great Ma.rcb King; Laid Up at the Bates Ho*e-siew Vandeville Combine in the Went. When Sousa’s band was seated on the platform at Tomlinson Hall last night and the large audience was ready to give Sousa himself an ovation, it was announced that the great leader and march king, the spectacular head of the show, was ill in his apartments s' the Bates House. The audience was disappointed, naturally, and was in no mood to pass a vote of thanks to Dr. Henry Jameson, whose certificate forbidding Mr. Sousa to leave his room was read from the stage. It was further stated that last Monday Mr. Sousa contracted a severe cold at Milwaukee and had been unable to shake It off. In a few days, it was expected, he would be able to be: at his work again. Arthur Pryor, the well-known young musician, with his coat front decorated with medals, was introduced aj Sousa’s understudy, and the audience graciously w'elcomed the aspiring impersario. The overture of “Tannhauser,” with Instrumentation by Sousa, was first played. Emil Kenecke followed with a cornet solo, “Souvenir ’de Mexico” (Hoch), accompanied by the band. His tones were bold and clear or whispered in trills in the upper realm of sound, as the theme demanded, and his hundreds bf hearers delightedly called him back. He then played that sweet and tuneful song of Walter Ford—“l Love You in the Same Old Way.” After playing “Echoes des Bastions,” programmed as anew composition by Kling, the band paid Mr. Bert Short, a young composer of this city, the compliment of playing his “Battery A March,” which is dedicated 10 the Twentyseventh Indiana Battery. Though the piece itself and its rendition deserved the loud applause that was given it, the name and its significance warmed the hearts of the audience and its patriotic spirit might have swelled the heart even of the man who did not vote “on principle” if he had heard it. What band can play the Sousa marches as his own band can? What band can equal the martial crash of brasses and drums of the band gathered together and trained by the composer himself. Last night “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” “El Capitan” and “The Charlatan” were played and the climax of their effect was felt when the band branching off into “The Star Spangled Benner,” rose to its fee end carried with it the audience, in a salute * o the flag. The band’s programme was roi ' ded out with “Knights of the Holy Grail,” rom “Parsifal,” “Badinage,” by Myer-Helmund, “Whispering I>aves,” by Von Blon, and the overture of “William Tell.” The concert was a triumph for the band and, when the audience demanded more and more, “Georgie Camp Meeting’” and “A Hot Time in the Old Town To-night” were played, and new opportunities for instrumentation were revealed in those overworked melodies. The vision of colored, couples prancing smilingly down-stage might easily have been conjured up. Miss Maud Reese Davies, soprano, and Miss Dorothy Hoyle, violinist, were featured as soloists. Miss Davies sang Arditi s “When the Roses Bloom.” and Miss Hoyle played “Souvenir de Haydn,” by Leonard. The tones of the voice and the Instrument were expressive and clear, and the audience, pleased with the young women, called them both back to further entertain it.

Morgan, jr., referee, appointed by the Court of Common Pleas in the litigation between John Philip Sousa and the estate of David Blakely, has filed his report, in which he asserts the right of Mrs. Blakely to share in the royalties of music composed by Sousa up to the time of Blakely’s death was a. perpetual one under the contract between then.*; that Sousa violated his contract by appropriating the band and a portion of its library, and that he is accountable to Mrs. Blakely for all money received from the time of his violation until the completion of contracts made by B’akely before his death. It Is understood Sousa’s council will carry the case to the Supreme Court. VAUDEVILLE COMDIME. Sew Circuit Covering the Middle and Western States. ST.

This combination, which is the strongest ever effected in vaudeville, Is the direct result of the entry Into vaudeville of the Columbia Theater, of St. Louis, and its sister theater, the Great Northern, of Chicago, under the saihe management.

I do love her and she loves me, and I will take better care of her than he could, so I guess nobody can find any fault.” Number Nine.
