MONEY YET QUIET.
No Disturbance Yet Felt in the
Money Market.
Stocks Still Firm in Spite of
Gold Export.
WHEAT PERPLEXING
Hard for Anyone to Understand
the Market.
Declining Price Leads to In
creased Exports.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-R. G. Dun 8
Co s weekly review of trade says:
The scare about gold exports had no
real significance, and, although 81, $780,
900 will go out to-day, the stock mar
ket has been recovering. There was
and is substantial cause of difficulty
in the fact that exports of products
have been too small to meet the
greatly increased imports of merchan-
disc. The collapse of Kafir specu1a-
tons abroad has forced many to
realize on Americans held, and the
impression that our government may
have to borrow again also operates to
our disadvan tage. But there is no
local disturbance of money markets.
The government monthly crop re-
port has caused, as usual, rat Their more
uncertainty as to its Interpretation
than previously existed as to crops.
Wheat perplexes the oldest inhab-
liant. There is really little reason to
expect a yield larger than last years,
but Western receipts of 5000, s64 bush
els, against 4,026, 639 last year. do not
mean a scarcity of wheat. Probably
it is true that the attempt to induce
farmers to keep back their wheat in
July has ended, as usual, in much big

mean confidence in renewed advance.

MUST BE A NICE SET.


Get Drunk.
YOUNGSTOWN, o., Nov. 16-The male
population of Youngstown has been con-
siderably worked up today over a secret
society of women in this city, which was
organized on election night. The club
numbers most of the fashionable set of
married ladies in the city. On election
night they met at the residence of a
widow on WICK avenue. There were
more than thirtysof them. They went in
carriages and were dressed in all kinds
OF mems clothing. Some wore the reg
ulation evening dress suit, others had
on bloomers, while others had on golf
suits and two had the temerity to go
dressed in their hus b4ud's hunting suits
One of the women was introduced as
General Bushnell, VIII lie another imper-
sonated Ex-Governor Campbell. The
other visitors were introduced to them as
such. There WIS a magnificent spread,
prepared by the young widow, which in
cluded several Kinds of wine. Messenger
boys were employed to bring bulletins
from the telegraph Office, and along to-
ward midnight, when it was positively
known that Bushnell had been elected
by an overwhelming majority, there was
great cheering.
There were two; Campbell enthusiasts
in the crowd, and under the influence OF
wine they got into qurrel with two
Bushnell women. A blow, it is said, was
struck and then the com batants were put
to bed The truth of the whole thing
leaked out last night. and every pastor
in the city is today taking evidence to
find out who the women were who par
ticipated in the midnight orgies.

chance of the men named.
A Chicago railroad president who has
watched the reorganization closely said
yesterday: 81 do not see why the reor
ganization committee should look for
man for the presidency when such an
able official as Mr.. Walker is available.
His admin istration of the property as re-
ceiver has been brilliant one and under
his management the road has been bet
ter handled than it ever was before.
II was told recently that neither JEFF
ferry. Robinson nor FELTON, was even be-
tainly its members cannot make a bet
ter choice than Mr.. Walker, and his Sc
lection would give satisfaction to the
other western lines, who have confidence
in his management"

INNOCENT MAN SHOT.
COld-BIooded Murder Done BY Chicago
Private Detective Agency.


Private Detective Agency.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-The inquest over
the body of Frank White, who was
shot while riding in buggy, led to
startling developments. The discov-
cries made may result most seriously
to not less than six members of the
Berry Detective agency, including the
superintendent and possibly a seventh
man, who has not been identified.
The circumstances surrounding the
case go to show that the buggy in
which the men were riding was
brought to a standstiu when the trag-
edy occurred, and that at least three
detectives who were detailed to assist
in the arrest of Clarence White, made
an effort to crowd about the vehicle,
and exploded one or more chambers OF
their revolvers in the direction of the
innocent man, who was killed.
White was shot almost to pieces by
the detectives, two bullets having
pierced his brain, two went through
his chest, and he was shot through the
spine from the rear. All the bullets
were of large caliber and fred at close
range. The men now under arrest
comprise the entire force of the Berry
agency, with the exception of one
man, and the police are chasing him.
The agency has for several months
past had charge of what are known
here as the 'porch-climbiag" cases
the residences of several wealthy resi-
dents of the South side having been
entered by a gang which, it is alleged,
was led by Clarence White. brother
of the murdered man and we'll known
to the police. The killing of Frank
was the result of an attempt to arrest
Clarence. The detectives began firing
without word OF warning.
