TUESDAY, Oct 29-6 p. M.
The merchandise markets were generally dun
again to-day trade being stIll blocked by the dearth
of horses, which was more serious to-day than
ever, it being utterly impossible to effect the remo-
val OF merchandise In many instances There was
almost deadlock in most departments, in some
OF which commercial transactions were compara-
lively few and OF an unimportant character while
values were in many cases wholly nominal. Cotton
was firmer owing TO a scarcity. At the Produce Ex.
change -four was dull and heavy, 1t being impossible
to 1t. Wheat was Irregular but there was some
dolngs, generally on the basis OF lower prices ex-
cept for prime Spring, which was scarce. Corn
and oats were dull Whskey was a tribe dearer
and the movement was fair. PORK was slow OF sale
and scarcely so firm, sales for future delivery being
very considerably below the current prices. Lard
was slow OF sale, but unchanged. The freight
movement was unchanged the demand for room
and vessels for charter being fair Groceries were
less active, but the market remained very strong.
Petroleum remained quiet and without material
change in prices. Naval stores were duh and
tended considerably in buyers favor Metals were but
moderately dealt in, still essential change prices
took place. East India goods duh. Wool was gen
orally quiet and unchanged in price.

Flour was dull and easy. Wheat was irregular.
Corn was quiet, but about steady.
THE EXPORTS OF THE WEEK.
The total exports OF domestic merchandise from
this port for the past week were $6,470.1o4.
MONEY UNSETTLED.
The money market was alternately stringent and
easy. The early business at sharp per cent, to
which by halEpast two O'Clock q commission OF 1872
for the day was added making the rate equivalent
to about IS per cent per annum BY five minutes
OF three the rate had fallen to 7 per cent
gold, and at and after three O'Clock the
supply was more than the demand, and
some late lenders took as little as per cent
rather than have their money 60 over night unem-
plOyed. The better demand for money on call the
past few days has checked the sale OF mercantile
paper but quotations remain as before-viZ 0 a IL
per cent discount for prime names.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE LOWER.
The foreign exchange market was easier, owing
TO growing supply Of commercial bills and actual
business in sterling was on the basis OF 1oSI for
prime sxty-day bills, with 11O4 asked for sight
bills The London market was again better In
sOnsols, which advanced further one eighth per
cent, and active and higher for Eries, in which
there are continued signs Of new English specu-
lation. Our hye-twenties were steady ana appa-
rently dall The street rate for money in London
is not Ollcialy reported, but rumOr puts it down
70 as low US 514 51a per cent.
GOLD HEAvY-l13 A 1929.
The gold market was heavy and quite dun. The
average quotation was an eighth per cent lower
~ compared with that OF the previous day-a
direct reflection Of the easier tone OF the foreign
exchanges The outside speculative interest seems
dormant, and the regular trade dealings are just
enough TO sway tine trining transactions of bro
kers' market The course OF the market is shown

TAKING POISON.
Fatal Result-Deceased Formerly a RcsiA
dent of Boston.

Information was received at the Coroners' once
yesterday morning that Nellie Hearn, girl nine
teen years Of age, had died the evening previoua
from the effects Of an overdose Of morphine, which
she had taken for the purpose OF alleviating paia
with which she had been suffering. The report
from the Fifteenth precinct police further states
that Miss Hearn had been drinking to excess fof
several days and had slight attack Of delirium
tremens. Later in the day Coroner Young held
an inquest over the remains when 1t appeared that
deceased, who had led an irregular life for three
years past, had occasionally taken morphine for
neuralgia trouble, the poison being administered
in proper doses by her landlady Mrs. Ross. On Sum
day evening Nellie helped herself to the deadly drug
and. unfortunately, took too much. subsequently
calling Mrs. Ross to her bedside, the girl told her
what she had done, and said she took the morphine
to make her feel better. doctor was summoned,
but arrived late to the life OF the unfOrtu-
nate girl. The parents OF deceased formerly lved
in Saratoga street, East Boston, and Mrs. Ross has
made efforts to communicate with them by tele-
graph The body will be kept several days. f neces-

GOVERNMENTS sTAGNANT.
It s not often that the record OF dealings in gov
ernment bonds shows 80 trining results as pre-
eented to-day. An inspection of tie transactions
at the board reveals total OF only 5000, only
half the ordinary, simplest transaction in the stock
market. or course this was not the real limit of
the days business, for there is always more or less
OS an active trade in these securities over the
COUNTER but the business of the street is pretty
nearly always in direct proportion to the dealings
ut the board SO that the

Tuesday afternoon some of the young people
assembled at the P. Ft. & C R. r. depot to bid

Last Tuesday evening Nj. A. o. Packard address,
ed an audience at Linkville, of about one hundred
persons, a majority of which was Republicans.
The orator spoke about one hour repeating the
usual number of epithets common to that party,
but without producing that enthusiasm usually at
tending this gifted orator. AT the close of the
speech it was suggested that Greeley Club be or
ganized; but there not being enough of Greeley
tmuus infused to insure success in this direction
three rousing cheers were given for Grant and
Wilson; cheers that nearly raised the roof off the
house, after which the few disappointed Greeley
present gave three weak cheers for the speaker
1t is unnecessary to state that there was no Crva-
ley Club raised.

Mr. MILLIKAN The Ellie Comedy Co.
have been doing some fine theatrical en-
tertai nments here during the past week.
Their performance was utterly broken IN
last night by tremendous thunderbolt
shaking the hall (Huntsman) from its
very foundation 1t was found after a
few moments THAT house Immediately in
the rear of the Hall mad been struck nv
lightning and although the house and
even the bed upon which some children
were lying were fired, yet no serious re-
suit have as vet been reported: the chill
dren lying on the bed were shocked but
are all right to-day. The fire was quick
~ eXtinguished. AT the moment of the
clap ti:e troupe had worked their play up
to high pitch; when suddenly, the most
unearthly crash came, the actors stood
ike pillars of salt" and gazed INTO each
others faces, while the entire audience
made grand rush for the outer doors. In
two minutes the actors were on their way
for home in the tremendous shower
which ensued. Health good. Carl Schurz
will speak here soon.
