A Veteran Detective Tells Of Remarkably

A girl ls years old, named Palmer.
was cashier IN a dry-goods store. Ono
day some customer from the country.
who had a mortgage to pay. called at
the store TO leave package containing
90. 900 for a fcw hours The girl placed
1t In tho safe In his presence, but when
he came to call for 1t the money was
missing. One of tho proprietors und u
head clerk had been in the Office dur.
Ing the interval, but no one else, md
no one could harbor tho slightest
suspicion against them. Miss Palmer
had held her place two years. and was
considered perfectly honest also. and
the mystery OF tho package was II
sumner.
As the firm had received the pack
age in trust, they would have TO make
ITS loss good. This fact. says the de-
teciive, left mo only two persons to
work on the head clerk aud the girl.
The head clerk was about to be given
nn interest in tho business, and he
would not sell his future for few
thousand dollars But Miss Palmer
looked mo calmly in the fnce with her
big. blue eyes, and was innocencc

make, no advice to offer. nothing to
say. She had placed the package in
the safe. Some ono had taken 1t.

ing was very gus,y, and all OF II sud-
den caught sight OF u paper sailing
through the air. 1t looked to me like
u big buif envelope, and us it fell in a
gutter opposite ! saw that 1t really was
one. In less than n minute ! was

Yesterday and to-day felt very much like
the middle of autumn. AS the time approach
es for the commencement OF fall trade, 1t looks
very much like the spirits OF the people are in
for a lively one. The good demand for wheat
andcorn Is bringing out the reserves of the old
crop of the first. and the new also has COM
mepced to come in quite literally, and more
corn is offered now than has been for some
time.
The crop reports to be found in the compila-
ton of intelligence In this issue of the SPEC
TAToR continues to correspondent with the
Government report. particularly with refer
ence to the entire crop of wheat and the prob
able yield of corn.
Looking forward to the future of the wheat
markets; it may be re marked that the demand
OF the interior miflers. and the disposition at
the leading ceniers of trade to speculation, are
both drawbacks to the exporting interests. The
determination of the buyers for consumption
in the United Kingdom to hold off till the
situation to come In is more to their own Id cas-,
can last awhile, but not Indefinitely. Viewed
from every point we observe better prices
than formerly for our farmers. but upon the
basis of reduced production. Wheat sold in
our market to-day for sl.O2. which is higher
than 1t was yesterday in Richmond or Balii-
more and % cents higher than the same date
In 1889.
The South Atlantic and Gulf States will
present an active field this year for hay. We
have good crop in the Valley. and five can
participate as fully in supplying the demand
there this. as in former selling seasons. good
profit will enure to our producers and traders
