New YORK. Dec. 17.-The week opened on
the stock exchange with heavy tone to the
speculation and a stagnant market. Trading
continued dull all day, and the dealings were
irregular throughout, small rallies and in
consequential reactions following each other
in quick succession. London was q small
seller of st. Paul and some other OF the in
ternational stocks, but the transactions for
the foreign account had little or no effect
upon the speculation.
Sugar and Gas were the only two stocks
which displayed any activity. Sugar, which

The buying in the stock was by houses wit h

POLITICAL uncertainty Is StuHul1B Us
Barrier to General Improvement.
BY the United Press.
New York, Oct. 12.-Business, says
Dun, is stlll waiting for the develop
ment of retail trade. Wholesale deal
ers in nearly all branches are halting
because retail business does not show
distinctly what it is to be. Lower
prices for the great farm staples and
lower wages in some establishments
hinder purchases for consumption, while
political uncertainty has some retard-
ing influence. Meanwhile large i'm
ports and small exports of merchandise,
with inadequate employment for money
here are raising the rates for foreign
exchange so that possibilities Of gold
exports somewhat affect the stock mar
ketS.
Monetary movements indicate that
the expected expansion of interior trade
has not materially slackened. The de-
mand for commercial loans is weaker.
Some bankers report further withdraw
ais of foreign capital and sterling eN-
change is so strong that exports OF gold
are considered probable. The stock
market has been timid and inactive.
Failures for the week ended Oct. 4
show liabilities of Sl,7l4,276 of which

S91 of trading concerns. The final re-
port for September shows liabilities Of
only $7,307,124, of which $3,2j4,373 are
of manufacturing and $3,7lO,092 of trad
ing concerns. The failures this week
have been 2S7 against S93 last year and
AZ in Canada against AZ last year.
The iron industry records a larger
production III September than in any
other month this year but as prices are
gradually weakening, because of in
sufficient demand for finished products,
some works are preparing to close or
shorten time.

Misfortune.
BY the United Press.
Chicago, Oct. 12.-The news of the
adoption of A. c. Wild, young man
of 30 years of age, by Mrs. H. D. Garri-
son, and of his alleged consequent ac-
cession to heirship to title and about
900, has stirred up a good deal
OF interest. number of other per-
sons who pretend to be the heirs of the
Lord Berry, from whom the estate was
derived, have come to the conclusion
that they would like to have part Of
these millions, and are coming to Chi
cago to see about the matter.
The stories told by Mrs Garrison and
the other claimants are more or less
contradictory. Mrs. Garrison'B story
is, briefly that Lord Berry, of England,
who died only few years ago. had no
children, and in searching for an heir
settled upon Mrs. Garrison, the de-
scendant of his aunt. Lady Mary
Berry, and her husband, James Alison.
According to Mrs. Garrisons state
ments he practically adopted her. will
ed his entire fortune to her, and OBJ
tained from the queen the right to
transmit his title to her Then he died,
ana Mrs Garrison came back to Amer
ica, met Mr.. Wild and adopted him.
Thus far Mrs. Garrison seems not to
nave obtained possession of the estate
Neither Burke's "Peerage and Baronet-
age" nor his LANDED gentry makes
the slightest mention of any Lord
Berry. This has not affected Mrs Gar
rison and her adopted son very much,
however, as the latter has his card EN-
graved Allan Alison, Lord Berry"

All Pension Claimants in Indiana TO Re.

By the United Press.

By the United Press.
Washington, Oct, 12-The Republi-
can campaign managers charge that
the pension bureau is now about as ac-
lively engaged in the national cam
paign as are either the Republican or
the Democratic committees. The whole
clerical force of examiners are now de-
voting their time to the pension claims
called up by Democratic candidates.
In the state Of Indiana, there are about
5000 claimants. The eleven Democra-
tic congressman and the two Democra-
tic senators are alleged to have taken
all the names and post Office addresses
of all the claimants from Indiana, who
have cases pending in the pension
bureau. These they are said to be call
ing UP at the rate of two or three hun
dred per day.
In explanation of the scheme of the
Democrats, 1t is said they are trying to
reach every pension claimant In the
state and to influence him by making it
appear that the Democrats are going to
give him pension, hoping thus to OBJ
tain his vote. Great care Is taken,
however, it Is said, to see that no cases
are disposed of. They are not even to
be rejected at the time being, but are to
be held open until after the election.

Captain Mckee, secretary of the Re-
publican congressional committee,
claims to have absolute information
that Commissioner Lochran has a list
Of $4,000 pensioners whose names are
now borne on the rolls of the pension
office and who are marked to be
dropped or reduced. These 30, 900 soldiers
are to be invited to show why the de-
partment should not revise their pen
sion certificates. Thirty-five thousand
Of them are to receive word that unless
they convince Mr.. Lochren within
thirty days that they are entitled to
remain on the rolls they will be dropped
entirely.
The other 1900 are, according to the
Lochren method of computation, re-
ceiving more pension than they are
entitled to at the present time and they
will be advised that they must con-
vince the commissioner of their right to
draw the pensions which they now
draw or their pensions will be reduced
Although the $4,000 cases are ready for
action at once, Mr.. Mckee declares that
no movement will be made for thirty
days yet, because such wholesale action
on the part of the commissioner would
lie l'hely to affect votes in the coming
election.

jurcd While Diving
BV the Tinted prnss


Toronto, Oct 12.-Lying hopeless on
a stretcher, paralyZed from the neck
downward, able to think and see and
speak, but not capable of moving any
portion of his body, such is the hard
luck of r. V. s. Palmer, young Eng
lishman, who is to be sent home on the
Sandman. Toward the end of July
last Palmer, while swimming at Mag
ara-on the Lake, took dive In shallow
water, and, his head striking the bot
tom, he had his neck broken.
Palmer was carried into the hotel,
where it was found that the spinal col
umn, Just above the shoulders, was
broken and the cord injured. An oper-
alton was performed at once, the rag
ged edges of the broken bones being
cut away, but the spinal cord had been
too badly injured, and complete paral-
ysis from the neck downward was the
result. Palmer. on July 80, was brought
to the general hospital, where he has
been under treatment ever since. He
is completely helpless, just able TO move
his head and talk, but the trunk is
that of dead man.
An instance Is on record Of q man in
Palmer's condition having lived for
thirteen years, and, as Palmer is con-
additionally strong, with care his life
may be prolonged for some time.
