the window and as he opened the inside shut
ter, Mr.. Kelly fred. He was not aware until
morning that he had hit his maa. The burg
lar ran few rods to the street, where his
groans attracted the attention of DR.. L. L.
Bennett, who hunted the man up, and from
him learned that while attempting to enter
house man had got the drop on him too
quickly. Assistance was procured and the
wounded man taken to the Exchange Hotel,
where examination proved the bullet had en-
tered the lower part of the stomach and pene
trated to the back, where it lodged under the
skin. The chances of living are all against
the man. though a possibility exists that he
may pull through, as he has a stout constitu-
ton. To the officers he gave the name of
Frank Capron, and stated that his father, D.
s. Capron, resided at State Centre, Iowa, four
teen miles west Of Marshaltown. He is five
feet nine inches high, weighs about 165
pounds, of dark complexion, dark brown hair
and eyes. 1t is thought that he is one of
the gang who have been operating around

their proportion of property set apart to them.

The Washington Sentinel publishes a
somewhat extraordinary article on the treat

as steerage passengers The editor has pro-
cured bill of fare provided for the prisoners
in the Washington jail and in the Sing Sing
prison, and compares the list of articles fur
nished convicts with those furnished steerage
passengers. The comparison seems to show
that prison convicts are better fed than i'm
migrants who come by Storage on some of
the lines. The Sentinel estimates that the cost
of feeding steerage passengers, according to
some Of the bills which have been obtained, is
not more than Is cts. per day per passenger,
or an average of $l.l8 for the passage. The
attention Of the secretary of the treasury has
been called to violations Of United States laws
by different ships bringing immigrants to
this country, and it is probable the secretary
of the treasury will ask additional legislation
for their protection, as the present navigation
laws arc inadequate. f.
ENGLISH MARKETS.
The Marx Lane Ezpress of Oct. z says
The weather has continued broken and un-
settled. Heavy showers have alternated with
brief intervals of sunshine. In the middle
counties the rainfall has been excessive and

manner. Much of the corn in other parts of
the kingdom remains unstacked, the greater
part of the wheat and barley recently cut be-
ing in such damp state that sprouting or
heating in the stack inevitably ensues. The
cutting and carrying have proceeded very
slowly in the north, and the want of
dry weather is much felt In Scotland
farmers have also suffered further
owing to the prevalence of gales, which have
shaken out much of the standing barley, but
the oatfields withstood the action of the wind
to great extent, as the grain is still unripe.
Root crops and pastures have improved lit
tie as rule. Ireland has been more favored,
and with the exception of the stoppage Of a
few days owing to heavy rains, harvest opera
tons have been carried on briskly. In south
England many fields are now cleared, but re.
suits upon threshing have been most dis.

Judging from the few samples hitherto
shown, wheat is light, damp and sprou.
ted Barley is in good many instan-
ces discolored and unfit for mailing.
Deliveries at 100 provincial towns are 14,1S6
quarters of wheat, against 1921 quarters for
the corresponding week of 1875 The average
price is nearly shilling lower. Trade opened
very firmly at the beginning of the week both
in the country and Mark Lane, and there was
| an advance of two to three shiillings on wheat
and shilling on sack and barrel flour. A
large business was done in London Monday
but on Wednesday the edge seemed to be
taken off the trade, as having satisfied their
more pressing needs, millers seemed disposed
to stand aloof and watch the course of events.
At the same time fair degree of steadiness
has been preserved, the imports into
London having been quite moderate.
But the excitement of ten days since has
been altogether wanting In occasional in
stances where sales were pressed sellers &C.

tho late advance has been maintained, nor
does there appear any immediate probability

Germany can be depended upon for the

companied by smart advance in prices

any inherent weakness or from the effect OF

but simply through a judicious cessation

plies considerably exceeded demands.
The foregoing remarks apply to the trade
up to Friday, since when q decided return of
strength has been apparent, and on Monday
prices advanced for wheat fully shilling per
quarter, making total improvement Of two
to three shillings on the last weeks sales.
The sales of English wheat last week were

tiers at 40s I'D for the corresponding week the
previous year. The imports into the United
