Threw himself Face Downward in
the Jail Before the Minister.

Ava. Mo, May 2s-Excitement over
the Sawyer murder has practically sub
sided and it is now believed there is no
fear of Perry being lynched, although
there are several armed farmers still
in town This afternoon Perry sent
for Rev A. W. Smith and asked the
minister to pray for him.
The prisoner threw himself upon the
floor, face downward and cried for
mercy. He told the minister when he
left that he would swear with the rope
about his neck that his uncle commit
ted the crime.
Perry is quoted as having said that
he was ready to hang that he had lived
40 years in two days at Springfield af-
ter the murder.

FOREIGN FINANCES.
Stock Market is Inactive and Irreg-
ulnr.


LONDON, May 10.-The money mar
ket has been in the same easy condi-
ton this week.
The stock market was rather inactive
and prices were irregular. Owing to
the troublesome political outlook, es-
peciaNy in Africa, there has been re-
vived demand for exchange investment
stocks at an improved price. Home
railway securities were fiat on profit
taking. Foreign securities were rather
neglected but were firm, especially the
Turkish on favorable administrative
reports. Colonel Norrh's death affect
ed the nitrate properties but slightly.
He had been for a long time steadily
realizing and therefore his holdings
were comparatively small. There has
been an active professional boom in
brewery shares. African securities
were very quiet but their tone was toll
erably firm. Fears that the govern
ment will revoke the charter of the
British South African company were
practically dispelled. Little business
is likely to be done, however, till the
situation is clearer. The gold ship
ments and the political campaign have
depressed Americans all around. New
ertheless, the belief is expressed in in
fiuential quarters that the time will
yet come when American railway Sc
curities will find favor here. The de-
creases for the week were Atohison
preferred, 211a; Reading Firsts, 2; Chi
cago, Milwa ukee & st. Paul, Denver
& Rio Grande preferred and Louisville
& Nashville, 119: Erie mortgage and
Wabash preferred, IL; Atchison & Wa
bash SKIES, l; others fractional.
