coin for boarding and $1,000 in gold
bars. On the other hand, $1,490,000

YARDE- BULLER.

He Makes Some Humiliating Con-
fessions on the Witness Stand.
LONDON, July 24.-The cross-examni-
ton of Walter Yarde-B Butler of Clrlrs-
ton court, Devonshire. in his action
for divorce from Lelilah Kirkham
Yarde-B Butler, formerly of San Fran
cisco, was continued before Right Hon.
Sir Francis Henry June today. The pc
titioner admitted he had written a
letter to his wife in June, 1898, i'm which
he said:
''To think my hand has brought all
this sorrow upon your head. God for
give my sins against you. l can offer
30 excuse. J behaved in a weak and
blackguardly manner, without cause
L had no reason to act in the wicked
and cowardly way have done. l will
try to eXpiate my sins. You have been
perfectly blameiess and have never
given me cause to say an unkind word
against you. 1 ask your forgiveness.
Lena, Lena, give me one more chance,
and I will be different. 1 will work and
slave to redeem your seif-respect.''
Yarde-Buller admitted he was writing
the truth when he penned the forego-
ing sentences. He had requested the
doctors to ascertain and certify if his
wife was insane. He had himself gone
to Cfurston Court to see his wife, and
he had taken a pane of glass out of
the window in order to obtain ingress
to the house He had written Lord
Churston, his brother, to the effect that
he (petitioner) had been entirely in the
wrong in stating his wife drank to ex-
cess and, therefore, he retTacted the
charges. He was not aware his wife had
been obliged to do household work for
herself and children at Churston Court.
She herself had dismissed the servants.
He had never bruised nor hurt his wife,
except when acting in self-defense. He
had not ordered her out of the house,
nor told her to go ON the street.
On redirect examination, Yarde-Buller
testified that at the time he made the
acquaintance of Valentine Gadsden in
San Francisco, the latter was teaching
music. The petitioners wife had intro
duced them, saying, you ought to
know that man, for he is my cousin
Cyril" Gadsden is correspondent in the
action.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York, July 24.-Bradstreets re-
view Of the New York stock exchange
market tomorrow will say:
The action of the New York banks in
agreeing to replenish the diminishing
treasury reserve by surrendering part
Of their own gold holdings in exchange
for legal tenders, followed up by the
actual deposit Of $15,000000 of such gold,
has checked the growth of a panicky
feeling IN the securities market. This
mas to a large extent checked the ten
dency to hoard gold that was apparent
in many directions. Equally important
was the step taken to eure concert
ed action by foreign exchange houses
for the restriction of gold exports.
These developments came at an oppor-
tune moment when the quotations were
cr1nnbEing and liquidation and bear
selling in full progress. London was
indeed a very heavy buyer at the Sc
we're decline early in the week, though
the action seemed to have no effect as
far as encouraging outside interests
and participation is concerned. In fact
the market. but for the presence of a

and the operators on the short side of
the account met no resistance in their
efforts to hammer down prices.

with the union of banks to turn $780,
100000 of gold into the treasury and of
International bankers to control foreign
exchange. The gold reserve has been
quickly lifted above The $100.000,000
mark and political events have helped
to clear away apprehension. Business
of all kinds has been considerably af-
fected by the monetary conditions and
is slow to improve.
The produce markets have been seri-
ously depressed, lard making the low
est quotation on record, corn falling to
50 cents, wheat to 61.75 and cotton to
7.12c There has been a slight recovery
in corn, q sixteenth in cotton and a
cent in wheat but the main cause of
low prices remains, namely, prospects
of large crops with heavy stocks on
hand. Old corn is coming forward at
about double the rate year ago and
so far another big yield is indicated.
Wheat receipts at western points
have been 1925, 257 bushels in three
weeks, as against 1884 last year,
when the coming crop, if official re-
ports are to be credited, was larger
than it is now. and Atlantic exports for
three weeks, flour included, have been
1868, TAT bushels against 2,522,000 last
year, large gain, but not enough to
balance the increase in receipts. In
preston grows that the crop may as
much exceed official estimates as it
did last year.
Nothing appears of encouragement in
the industries and there has been a
considerable decline in the working
force

tinues, only three out of eleven in the
