4 OF

The trade movement during the last week
has been OF liberal proportions, but without
decided activity In any direction. In nearly
all branches OF business operations have been
gagged by actual requirement. For the time
being politics are uppermost in the minds of
business men, and until the result Of the
election shall have been made known com
mercial affairs are likely to be treated with
comparative Indifference. All the conditions,
however, are favorable for q renewal Of active
tradiog rs soon as the tension Of political
feeling shall have been relieved. The failures
during the last week throughout the United
States and Canada aggregated 2.5, an in
crease OF 2l over the total OF the preceding
week.
Market conditions have not essentially
changed In any department. Speculation
still dominates the grain trade, and liuctua-
ti0ns In prices have been wide and frequent.
There has been no Improvement in the ex-
port demand for wheat, and nore is probable
while the hand OF manipulation shall con-
tinue so plainly apparent In the markets.
There has been a fair movement in corn for
prompt shipment, but foreigners as yet have
placed few contracts for new crop deliveries.
Cotton is moving more freely to market, and
exports are increasing. Wool is very strongly
held, and some descriptions are | cent higher
as a result mainly Of speculation by o few
confident dealers and manufacturers. The
majority OF operators are disposed to defer
purchases until after the election. The dry
goods distribution has been only moderately
active, the mild weather and political excite.
ment having combined TO restrict business
The coal trade has continued active, but
shipments have been curtailed to some ex-
tent by a scarcity OF vessels. The iron trade
is fairly active and confronts en- improved
outlook. There is a more confident feeling IN
the market. The close OF the summer pack
Ing season in western provision centres shows
a total packing CT $4,000 0 hogs as against
$4,000 packed during the corresponding
period last year.

DETROIT, Nov. 5.-In 1884 Maxwell
III. Fisher, tifty-nine years Of age, a
millionaire Of Detroit, and Francis A.
Garrison, tifty-Gve years of age, were
married. They went on a wedding tour
to California. a month later, while in
Santa Barbara, he alleges that his wife
yelled one night at him so long and so
loud that half the people in the hotel
awoke and listened. They travelled
around California for about two months.
and at almost every hotel Mr.. Fisher al
leges that his wife repeated the Santa
Barbara performance. On May /
this curious honeymoon terminated
and they settled down in this city.
Then their difficulties began in
earnest. Mr.. Fisher charges that his
wife circulated scandalous stories about
him and an innocent young woman living
in the household. and even went so far as
to give such stories circulation through a
newspaper. Ohe evening in November,
1885, Mr.. Fisher states that his wife be
gan TO talk at him" and continued the
caudle lecture until 3 O'Clock the next
morning without intermission. At that
hour Mr.. Fisher timidly attempted to talk
pa,h, Wbch ShO SpldhS ilpil LAX bIb, hC
says, and hit him IL the face several times
knocking him out in the first round, as he
confesses. On May % last he fled a bill
for divorce, and alleged the foregoing
acts Of cruelty on her hart Mts. Fisher
did not file ali answer. and Judge Cart
ncr this morning granted the divorce.
Mrs. Fisher is worth $50, 600 in her own
right, and both parties 10 the suit are well
known in Detroit.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Nov. 1.-TWO
stages about twenty miles from town
were robbed yesterday by a lone high
wayman, who proved himself an ex-
pert road agent. lie baltcd the first
stage, made six passengers alight and put
on masks, which he furnished. Then he
stood them in line and politely relieved
them all of their cash and valuables.
When he had rifled the mail and express
packages he forced the masked passen-
gers 10 enter the coach and ordered the
driver TO take a position behind the bend
Of the road. Then he coolly waited for
the second stage that came from Santa
Barbara. He went through the same,
method with these passengers, getting $45
from the one woman on board. Alto
gether he cleaned up about 500, but the
mail and express matter panned out
poorly. He was so well disguised that
there is no clue TO him.
