THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The weather has
been wet during the last week The grain
market which has been firm through
out, is now strong and rather excited,
influenced by the continuous advance
in the price of wheat in America, the
drought in India and Australia and pur-
chases reported thence at San Francisco.
There is very little offering now. In
wheat, white wheats were to 4s and red
2s to As dearer. California steamer
wheat, October, November, was held at
3s advance; Walla Walla, October and
November was sold at 32s, Cd, and north
ern November and December was sold
at S2s. Parcels were active at rs Cd to
3s advance Flour was strong at Is to
Is advance. aize was about Is to rs.
The stock exchange has experienced
another depressed and unsettled week.
The settlement was completed without
actual failures, but much weakness was
discovered, most especially in the Afri-
can market and the big houses who have
been helping weak operators are begin
ming to lose patience. The depression
was largely due to the heavy sails order
ed from Paris. All investment stocks
continue on the down grade. Rumors
since officially denied, that the Ottoman
bank intended to call up more capital,
caused a heavy fall in Turkish stocks,
while all foreign securities were fiat on
the threatening aspect of the eastern
question.

hour seem to demand, and if recently

wagon campaign" of the entire city.
The campaign will open next Tuesday

number reaches sixty, and the people
will be addressed at that number of
places all over the city every afternoon
and evening until November Sd. Each
literature touching on the financial is
wagon will be plentifully supplied with
sues, and this will be circulated to all
who evince a desire for information.
Harrison Drummond, the well known
tobacco manufacturer, has offered the
use of all his wagons and enough more
have been secured to insure the full
number. Police protection if necessary
has been guaranteed. and it is the in
tention of those having the matter in
charge to cover the entire business por-
tion of the city, also the German-Ameri-

BY ACCIDENT OR DESIGN
Mrs. CockeriII's Husband Is Still
Alive
The Lady Asserts That the eShooting
Was Unintentional-The Doctors
Say That the Man Will Die.

NEW YORK, Oct. tS.-Walter Louis
Lenau, who married the widow of Col
John A. Cockerill, shot himself today at
his home 1t Englewood, N. ]. According
to Mrs. Lenau the shooting was uninten-
tional. Mr.. Lenau has made no state
ment regarding the affair. The surgeons
in attendance hold out little encourage
ment for his recovery.
Persons passing by were startled to-
day by the appearance of Mrs. Lenau on
the steps of her house. She was hys-
terical and was running up and down
the street appealing to every one she
saw to get doctor quickly, my hus-
band has shot himself and is dying"
Doctors Currie, Baldwin and Proctor
soon arrived and found Mr.. Lenau on
a bed where he had been put by his wife
and a servant. A bullet from 3S-cali-
Der revolver had entered the stomach.
The surgeons unsuccess>ully probed
for the ball. Mr.. Lenau rallied little
an hour after the shooting and express
ed desire to live, but said nothing as to
how he shot himself.
To the friends who called to express
sympathy, Mrs. Lenau said: at was all

his own life could not have been further
from my husbands thoughts. Walter
ate a hearty dinner and then spoke of
cleaning his revolver. He took it from
a bureau drawer, examined 1t and said
he was surprised it was so rusty. Then
he began to take it apart. I noticed the
muzzle was pointing toward his body.
I said: Walter 1 wouldn't let the re-
volver point that way The words had
barely passed my lips when there was
& report and my husband threw up his
hands and fell to the floor"
Mr. Lenau is 27 years old. His wife is
40. He is son of Rudolph Lenau, form
er president of the Germania bank of
Brooklyn and is connected with the silk
importing house Of Victor & Achelis
of this city. His marriage with Mrs.
Cockerill on June 18th, two months after
the death of Colonel Cockerill at Carlo,
Egypt was unexpected by their friends.

DEATH OF GEORGE INsLEY.
The Body to Be Brought to Los Angeles
for Interment.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 1S.-George T. ms
ley, the well-known Los Angeles detec-
tive, died at lis this afternoon at the
Albermale hotel. His death was the re-
suit of an accident which occurred on
the 5th of last August. On that day Mr..
Insley had been out riding. On his re-
turn, while taking his revolver from be-
meath the buggy cushion, the weapon
was discharged and the bullet entered
Mr.. Insley's left breast just above the
heart, glancing on a rib and following
an indirect course to his back, whence it
was subsequently removed. Until few
weeks ago it was thought that the de-
tective would recover, but his symptoms
became less favorable and last Wednes-
day it was found necessary to perform
an operation to relieve his chest of the
pus that had there accumulated. Mr..
Insley was in a comatose condition the
greater part of the time after the opera
tion until his death today.
His wife, daughter and brother Henry
Insley of Santa Ana, were with him
when he died. The funeral will take
place in Los Angeles under Masonic au-
spices and the remains will be taken to
that city by tomorrow afternoons train.

MADRID, Oct. Recommending upon
the statement contained in dispatch
from Washington, that President Cleve-

do the United States define the time for
Spain to settle question of her inter-
