better demand; oats are in good de-
mand and hay is quiet. Bran and mid
dlings are in good demand with a tendency
to upward prices. Prices on -four and grain
are wholesale and are as follows, retail
prices being from 50 to rs cents higher:

STOCKs-The stock market was not only
les1 active to day than for the preceding
two days, but the dealings lacked interest
and prices reacted materially in the fore
noon, though the losses were generally
made up later in the day. The pressure
was specially severe against the ~coalers,
however, and to aid the attacks, stOriesthat
a large iron works was about to shut
down and that the Pennsylvania individ-
ual operators would mine coal TO their
full capacity, were put out. These were
srterward c~Ontradicted and their effect
was but temporary. The opening was ir-
regular and comparatively quiet. The
lowest prices were generally reached after
I p. m, and the animation disappeared,
when q better tone became apparent in the
dealings and in the last hour the move
ment gained force, Reading, Missouri
Pacific, and Lake Shore taking the lead.
The advance was checked only by the close
of business, which was fairly active and
strong. The final changes are irregular
and generally for fractional amounts only.

FLOWERS INSTEAD OF CREPE.

ever since the death of Henry Ward
Beechcr it has been noticed by gentlemen in our
line OF business that for death out OF every three
instead Of crepe being hung on the door knob,
beautiful wreaths of white flowers are placed as en-
bematic of another soul gone to glory said an I'M
deraIier Of national reputation
why is that?' inquired the Mail and Express re-
porter
before Mr. Becher's death he requested that ev-
erything be bright and cheerful and that no stream
ers Of black be hung on the door of his home Every
thing that he said was eagerly read by thousands
all over the county. Ills admirers were doubtless
struck with his idea to oWers instead of crepe,
and it has become the style. The custom ofsprcad-
ing flowers about the coffin IN which lies the body
is b ing revived. During the past few years the
notice "Plcase omit flowers was added to nearly
every funeral announcement. Walk up Fifth ave
nue., Or any Ofthc other fashionable th0roughiaYes
in New York or Brooklyn, and whenever there is q
death you viii very likely see flowers instead of
crepe. l am informed by undertakcrs in other
cities that the same custom is growing steadily i'll

Il have heard of him." said the other. "Let
me see; Wasn't his wife killed by party Of
our raiders ?"
yes; something of the sort" yawned the
other But no doubt she was with him in his
moonshine business. Yes, she was killed 10y
one of our men, and Wilson, when he got out
OF Jail and went home, was nearly crazy.
Then his farm had been sold under mortgage
and he took 10 the woods and waged war
against all mankind, or rather against the
government"
TN not send you up there this time" said
the marshal thoughtfully. Hanged il don't
feel a sympathy for Wilson! / can't blame
him much for taking a shot at you fellows
when he gets the chance"
1t was years before Jeff Wilson ended his
career. He made himself the terror of the
mountains, and the moonshinerS tlouriShed in
his vicinity.
The end came at last, and the outlaw died
game. Surrounded by q posse of twenty mon
he gave battle to them all, and after receiving
a mortal wound he raised himself on his elbow
