The local money market opened up yesterday
without flourishing of trumpets or any other
peculiar demonstration to denote that it was
floating food high. But while there were DO
special features not previously noted-no un-
usual inflow or outflow, nor new1y-fedged ap-
prehensions of stringency, which may or may
not be experienced, according to the direction
and volume which speculation may assume
there was large amount of business in all the
regular lines, checking being strong and dis
counting a weak spot. A cashier remarked:
Notwithstanding a large amount of money
has been invested IN coke and street railway
bonds within short time. there is plenty of it
left, which holders would like to find employ
ment for, and which they hope to put on the
active list within the next month or six
weeks"

are doing anything below 6, but outsiders still
take and thereabouts on realty. The liberal
use OF silver dollars serves to minimize the cur

shipments to the South. The Clearing House
report was well up, showing heavy movement

CANNOT CHEAT DEATH.
A Famous Confidence Man on His Death
Bed at Denver.

DENVER, September 16.-Frank Pine,
who is known all over Europe and the
United States as one of the smoothest con-
idence men in the business, is at the
Windsor Hotel in this city at the point of
death. He has been reduced to mere
skeleton by an enlargement of the spleen,
which hinders the action of the heart, and
will cause death in short time. Frank
Pine is a French1han, and is noted for his
gentlemanly appearance and manners. One
of his most notorious transactions was the
sale, about five years ago, of mine in the
Leadville district, which was worth practi-
cally nothing, to London spectators, for
S35, 900 or $4,000.
Losers sent over to prosecute Pine for the
swindle, but it was found that extradition
papers could not be obtained on the only
charge that could be brought, obtaining
money under false pretenses. Pine has
lately made Philadelphia his headquarters,
and before he was taken sick was to be seen
daily about the Girard House. He is now
reasonably wealthy.
