The news of his death was kept pro-
found secret until Sunday morning.
None of his family can assign an ade-

pose the tragedy was due to an accident.
On the other hand it is rumored the sui

SATURDAY, May 25.
Although a number Of circumstances have
operated this week to check speculation In
securities, the market makes q good showing.
The dealings in stocks have averaged fully
100000 shares q day. and 159 different stocks
have received attention. The average daily
transactions In bonds have been over
So,500.O00 par value and dealings have beon
made in 205 issues. Prices for bonds are almost
generally higher than a week ago, and though
the stock list shows irreRularity, the majority
OF stocks are higher than at the close
OF business last Saturday. Tho greatest
improvement has been In stocks that are usu-
ally described a. specialties. None of the de-
clines Is important, the greatest being In Dstil-
ling and Cattle feeding, Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, ana General Electric.
This showing has been made in the face of tho
diversion of good deal OF interest from specu-
lation In stocks to that in wheat, and vigorous
efforts TO depress stock values in connection
with exaggerated reports of damage to the
wheat crop, inspired by the bulls on that cereal.
At the same time London has been out of tho
market practically all Of tho week. It's attention
being withheld from active participation in
speculation by the unusual character and magni.
tude Of the fortnightly settlement on the Stock
Exchange. which occupied three days during
the middle of the week. Minor Incidents have
Deen tue cOllRpbo OF tne Illogical ADVANCE IN
Northern Pacific securities, extensive liquida-
ton OF speculative accounts in Distiiling and
Sugar Refining, and a semi-official announce
ment that the next semi-annual dividend on
Northwestern common will probably be D
cent. less than was paid for the previous six
months.
The market has been sustained by evidences
that the foreign investment demand has not yet
been exhausted and that the local inquiry for
good bonds is increasing While the low rates for
money, both here and abroad, are partly respon-
sble for this It Is also true that investors would
not be tempted to buy were they not con-
vinced that tho business OF the country is
steadily improving. The trade reports issued
ut the end of the week are unusually pro-
nounced upon this last point. Practically every
staple product commands higher price than It
did week ago and the volume of transactions
Is increasing. The most decided and encour-
aging improvement is In tho iron industry. and
the strongest evidence of the upward tendency
OF the market for iron is furnished by the vol
untary advance In wages made by a large num-
ber OF the principal manufacturers
Railway traffic returns are also reassuring.
and the fact that comparison Is made with un-
usually light earnings last year seems TO be on
set by the mere fact that the figures show in-
creases as compared with twelve months ago.
Although the condition of the anthracite coal
trade Is far from satisfactory, little better
feeling is reported, presumably because OF the
wsll-nigh universal belief that something 10

suit In the trade being placed upon a better
basis, Present indications arc that By June
