ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. 27.-One of the
most thoroughly organized systems of fraud
that has been brought to light in this
vicinity for many years has just been un-
earthed, and the perpetrators are believed
to be in or near this city. Warrants have
been issued for the arrest of William
Springer, B. Blankenburg and A. Goldberg
on the charge of obtaining merchandise
under false pretences. The three named
are said to have obtained $1,000 worth of
goods from wholesale merchants of Chicago,
Des Moines and Ottumwa, for which they
have not paid a cent.
Last August the first two named men
opened clothing and furnishing store at
Osceola, Ia. In the front part of the store
room display of cheap goods was made.
The firm represented to commercial agencies
and wholesalers that their stock was worth
g, 800. Large consignments of goods were
bought on one-third cash upon delivery, the
balance in 60 and 80 days. When the goods
were shipped to the firm the boxes contain
ing the merchandise were taken to the rear
apartment of the store all marks were re-
moved and the goods were then reshipped
to A. Goldberg, st. Joseph. When the
creditors were about to close in on the firm
the store was suddenly closed and the men,
bers of the firm took their departure. They
were traced to st. Joseph, where they have
been shadowed until requisition papers
could be made out. 1t is now feared that
they have given the police the slip. About
$1,000 worth of goods have been found in
the building where Goldberg had his quar-

Philadelphia, and that negotiations would

that both of these roads are enlarging their

WALL STREETS REVIEW.
FAVORABLE NEWS, BUT WITH DULL
NESS AND LOWER PRICES.

Cordage the Only Exception, Though Chi
cago Gas Is Active-Some Selling for
the Account of the De;unct Firm of
Evans & Co.
New YORK, October 27.-The stock market
was again dull to-day, though there were
spurts of activity in Il few stocks, which
were paid special attention to by the BEARS
and the tone was rather weak throughout,
though the movements among the active
stocks were in but few cases of any import
ance.
The selling of some stocks by commission
houses were found to be for the account of
the defunct firm of Evans & Co., but the
bulk of the selling, as usual of late, was by
the traders and bears. The news of the day
was uniformly favorable.
The opening was small fractions higher
helped by q moderate demand from the
foreigner, but the hammering began immedi-
ately and the opening prices were in most of
the active stocks tn best of the day. The
movements, as rnle, however, were i'll
significant, and while the contest in ST. Paul
was waged with vigor on both sides the net
result was of little Importance. Reading
showed the widest fluctuation among the
leading shares, dropping HS per cent to A.
but the others were all traded in within q
range of less than per cent.
Chicago Gas was in demand at advancing
prices but the weakness OF the general list
prevented any material Improvement.
Cordage, however, was the strong feature of
the day, and is the only stock showing q ma
terial gain, but the movements of the Indus
trials now have no influence upon the rail
road list, Land there was no disposition shown
to follow its lead atany time of the day Atch-
ison was also largely traded in, but failed to
move. The shorts covered some that in the
late trading and slight fractions were re-
gained, the market oaesing dull but firm.
Cordage is up 69.

business which amounted to $lSl4O was
widely distributed, though Atchison in

was rather mixed, but while little move

Wheat Opens Strong but Closes Tame
and weak-oats Quiet.
CHICAGo-The wheat market was
rather stronger early. but the closing was
tame and much weaker. The news was
again bearish, and the feeling in the wheat
crowd was consequently not at all Douyant,
early trading this morning being confined to
local scaipers. Liverpool cables reported a
steady market for spot wheat, but futures
for red American wheat were I'D lower.
December heat sold during the first hour
from 9i3sc down TO 94l4c. Later il rose to
9412c. Reliable English cable dispatches
brought the intelligence that houses were
Offering wheat freely, and the big increase
on ocean passage would indicate this News
of this kind was unpleasant to the crowd,
who appeared to be long OF wheat but some
strength followed the announcement that a
cargo of No. > spring wheat had been worked
here for export. This and renewed talk of a
dTv winter in the winter wheat States
helped TO put December wheat up to 95ssc
The opening was about the same as the
closing figures of yesterday, and the market
eased OF about sac, then became stronger
and prices advanced about lc, then ruled
easier. prices declining p1SDi3Sc, closing 15c
lower than yesterday.
Corn strong. The shorts for the only new
croD futures are manifeSting a good deal of
uneasiness which has been increased by the
fact that there seems to be a corner in Oc-
tOber in New York, where it advanced to 72c
this morning. During the last hour October
corn sold to 5sc and at l O'Clock was 5754c.
November corn touched $50 andat1 o'clock
was 521sc May sold to 43c 1t eased off
234c, whlie the year touched 461sc, but weak
ened to 452Sc.
Oats were quiet and steady, notwithstand-
ing the advance in corn and wheat. The big
receipts and the falling of of the export de-
mand were weakening features. November
has sold at 291562955sc and May at 3lss@3l7 PC.
The market continued quiet during the last
hour, though November touched 1880. May
ruled unchanged.
Hog products were lower owing to big re-
ceipts of live hogs and decline OF l0@l5c
in prices. January pork sold from sll I713
