Movements OF Exchange and Of Gold
Have to Certain Extent Unsettled
Trade-l'uccrtainty Rcigns All srOnnd.
New York. Sept 20.-R. G. Dun & Co..
In their weekly Review of Trade to-
morrw. will say:
Movements of exchange and of gold
have somewhat affected all the markets
this week. Exchange has fallen. though
not because commercial bills have
greatly increased. and exports of specie
though diminished will reach about
$l2,i0O,00O. 1t is confidently believed
that the International syndicate will
allow no financial disorder, and many
are certain that an issue of bonds will
come. But the root of difficulty Is not
removable by bankers, namely, that
merchandise exports disappoint gov
ernment and the syndicate failing to
meet the case Of merchandise imported,
and leaving "a heavy balance to be paid
abroad. August imports exceeded eX-
ports by $l5.2S2,7 729. and net exports Of
gold were $l5.l59.7S2 A small cotton
crop. with large stocks held abroad, a
slender demand for Atlantic wheat,
with Russian arriving in London In
large quantities, and merchandise eX-
ports and imports at New York 30 per
cent larger than last year In Septem-
Der, thus far scarcely promise speedy
change. The volume of domestic trade
measured by exchanges. 20 per cent
greater than last year, but s per cent.
less than in 1892, is not quite as near
the record of full PROSPERITY for Sep
temperity as for August or July.
In spite of gold exports, wheat ad-
vanced for some days in all nearly 2
cents. Corn rose and fell in sympathy
with wheat with as little reason. Good
reports of foreign crops, weakness of
flour In Minnesota, and large exports of
corn from this country. all work
against rise in wheat. though scare
ity Of contract grades may help spec
ulative advance.
The surprising increase in production
and advance in prices of iron seem to
be bringing a natural check, as prices
have gone so high as to cause some
purchases from Europe. both Of pig and
finished products, and have also caused
a distinct shrinkage in home demand.
The cotton mills. which laid in stocks
of cotton below 6 cents, are enriched
by the advance in material. and en-
abled to make frequent advances in
goods, which are sustained. The pres
ent demand is dull, bnt there are no
reports of stoppage. and the threat
ened strike at Fall River does not
come. The wooden manufacturer Is do
ing well in dress goods and hosiery,
but the demand for mems woOllens Is
much restricted, and few mills have
closed. Foreign prices for clay worsted
have advanced and mohair goods also.
the price of the material having risen
1855 per cent at Bradford In few
months.
Failures this week have been 213 In
the United States against 210 last year,
and go in Canada against 4S last year.

THE Gas Theory Exploded
Durant's Only Favorable POinl Is
Brushed Aside.
FRANK SADEMAN'S TESTIMONY
ile Explains the Smell of Gus in tho
Church Which Attracted Organist
Kings sAttentiOn-pawu Bro.
Oppcnhcim's Story.

San Francisco, Sept. 20.-The only
point at all favorable to Durant
brought out thus far In the trial was
brushed aside by the prosecution today.
This was the statement of Organist
George II. King that he detected the
odor of gas upon entering the church on
the day of blanche Ldmont's murder.
This fact gave cOlOring to the state
ment of Durant that there was a leak
I'm the gas pipes above the ceiling
which he claimed to be fixing.
Janitor Frank a. Sademan, who was
placed on the stand by the prosecution
today, explained that the gas, the
odor of which attracted Kings atten-
tiOn, came from a loose cock on the
chandelier in the vestibule at the en-
trance to the church. Sademan was
otherwise an important witness, as he
said he had met Durant at the ferry
on the day of the Minnie Williams
murder and that Durant had then told
him that he was waiting TO intercept
Blanche Lamont. as he had heard that
she was that afternoon going to cross
the bay. This witness also testified
that the mechanism connected with the
lighting apparatus was not In need of
repair on the day of the murder.
The Pawn Brokers Testimony!
The other important witness of the
day was Adolph Oppenheim, the pawn
broker who said that a few days after
the murder man whom he recognized
as Durant came to his store and tried
to sell one of the rings taken from the
dead girls fingers and sent to her aunt
through the mail. This ring was
picked out by the witness from among
the three taken from Miss Lamont by
the murderer. Its popularity is what
hni 1T
tion The incident happened within a
few days of his birthday. and that, he
said, fixed the time in his mind
On cross-examination Oppenheim
was shown another ring very similar
to the one taken from Miss Lamont
and was asked if he had ever had il
presented to him for sale. He said he
had not. The defense also placed two
other rings in evidence. and by these
1t Is said. will try to discredit the testi-
mony of the pawnbroker by introducing
witnesses who tried to sell him a ring
about the same time. Oppenheim Is the
last of the prosecutions main wit
neSSes.
The case, as already represented, will
be fortified with testimony to show that
Durant did not attend the lecture in
college on the afternoon of the murder
ana that of witness who says he saw
man he identified as Durant coming
out of the pawnshop one morning about
the time Durant is supposed to have
tried to dispose of the ring, but all the
main points have been made.
The defense is still confident and re-
ticent, and, though many rumors as to
what it will try to prove have been set
afioat nothing authoritative has vet
been learned. IT is not thought that
the counsel for the defense will even
outline its case in the opening state
ment which may be made next week

1t was learned later that the shoot
