WAR RUMORS HELP TRADE.
Wheat Becomes Active at an Ad
vance in Price.

Wheat Becomes Active at an Ad-
vance in Price.
NEW YORK, Dec. A.-R. q. Dun 81 Co.
have issued the following trade review
for the past week: War rumors have
given character to week otherwise dull.
With Europe arming and the political
prospects in Great Britain all unsettled
by Lord Churchilps resignation, the
chances OF disturbance abroad are eagerly
discussed in the American markets and
better prices for wheat have resulted. On
Wednesday and Thursday the war reports
and heavy freight engagements suddenly
made wheat active with sales oil 5000, 900
10 5000, 900 bushels daily, and prices rose
1hc.
CORN DECLINES.
Corn declined during the week 1c.
Pork products closed about as week
ago. Cotton closed a shade lower. Oil
closed SIC. lower. Sugar closed a shade
lower. silver closed "a. lower, and iron
soc. higher at SIT 70 for transferable
notices. The cotton movement has been
large, the receipts now exceeding those of
the last crop year TO date, and the exports
are also about as much. Ellison makes
the British consumption for two months
1900 bales and continental 3,400 more
than last year. American Northern
consumption has been "a, 600 less, and the
crop In sight thus Tar Is only $4,000 bales
less than at this date last year. Short crop
reports are industriously circulated, but
the market droops in spite OF the most
active movement OF the goods.
THE VOLUME OF BUSINESS.
That the volume Of business at the
West IS large beyond precedent, the bank
clearings prove. At the East the increase
is irregular, and large where speculation
is active. At the South there is still
shrinkage in volume, with less satisfac-
tory collections, except where new manu-
factories give new lie. But the cOllec-
tions in other sections are almost uni
fornly fair, and the holiday trade has
been unprecedented. The railroads are
gaining in traffic rather than in profits.
Money is plenty, but payments in silver
at the New YORK custom house were 0,
and are now 10 per cent. OF the total.

night Wednesday night four or five armed
and masked men went to the house OF
Jordan league, a colored man living on

ering that the men were masked and armed
made hurried exit through back WIN
dow, the party firing at him as he fed,
The men then killed Jordan and shot his
wife several times, inflicUing what are
thought TO be fatal wounds. One bullet
passed through the wOman's tongue and
she cannot speak, but has signified that
she knows who shot her. There are dit
ferent opinions as to the cause OF The
killing and who The guilty parties are.
The community is highly incensed at the
cowardly outrage, and there is no doubt
that thorough investigation will be
made OF the affair.

First, that the lien of the first mortgage
