LOANS AND MONEY.
There is a@steady current of funds
towards this centre and liquidation of
loans and a. very limited demand for
the money thus set free. 1t is now
known that last weeks increases in the
earnings of the New York banks was
more than accounted for by operations
of the account of the Union Pacific
sale. Loans on other accounts showed
an actual decrease and the limited sup
ply of commercial paper offerings indi-
Gates that merchants are not in need
of funds at present. This is in part due
to the easy collections all over the
country and to the large payment of
outstanding indebtedness, which have
made money plentiful at interior
points. But there is some apprehen-
sion that it may also be due to falling
off in business activity.
UNION PACIFIC PAYMENTS.
The ease of the money maket is so

GUILELESs YOUNG WOMAN.
Swindled by Swell on a Mythical
Mining Deal.

New York, Nov 17-Arthur Blair
Moody, d swell young man of New
Haven, Conn. is under arrest in that
city, charged with swindling three
young women, two of them heiresses,
of New York. and one famous Aus
tralian artist, temporarily in New
York. Moody is the son of a promi
nent New Haven insurance man and
his mother is a physician there. Miss
Rosamond Owen and Miss Mary Van
buren, Vanderpool, both of whom hold
high positions in New York society,
are two of the victims.
Upon convincing them he had met
with an exceptionally favorable oppor-
tunity to secure for his friends some
subscribed mining stock that the sub
scriber could not pay for, he secured
$4,000 in cash and negotiable bond
for $1,175 from Miss Owen and a 81, 600
United States gold bond from Miss
Vanderpool. This occurred in March
last and when the young ladies dis
covered that their friend had swindled
them the police were notified and
Moody's arrest followed. He is out on
bail and is fighting the attempt to
extradite him.
Miss Ellis Rowen, the artist in wa
ter colors, from Australia, met Moody
at the buckingham hotel and ultimate
ly contributed $3.50 for investment in

Sherry gives as among the causes
which have led to this unfortunate
situation the general depression in

particularly large losses through the
failure of c. j. l.. Meyer several years

FAMOUS ARKANSAS CRIME.
Possible Location of Assassin of
Hon. j. N. Clayton.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 1.-THE
memory Of the most famous crime ever
committed in ArkansaS-the aSSaSSina-
ton of Hon. John NJ. Clayton-has been
revived by the, receipt of a letter by
Governor Jones, written from Pitts,
Ga, by q person signing the name
Luther Atkins. The writer of the letter
recalls the crime and inquiries about
the rewards, and states that he can To-
cate the murderer and produce proof
of guilt
The murder of John NJ. Clayton will
he remembered by politicians and pub
lie men all over the United States
Clayton was a brother of Hon. Powell
Clayton, the present United States
minister to Mexico. He was the Re-
publican candidate for congress in 1889,
his opponent being Hon. Clifton r.
Breckenridge, late ambassador to Rus
Sia- The canvass was a spirited one,
and the contest was bitter.
Breckenridge was declared elected
and Clayton fled d contest While this
contest was in progress Mr.. Clayton
went to Plummerville to look after his
interests there. While in his room one
night just before preparing to retire,
an assassin crept up in the dark and
fired a load of buckshot through the
window of his room, inf1icting wounds
from which he died.
The murder created a sensation all
over the United States. Detectives
were employed and worked diligently
on the case, and many persons were
suspected of the crime, but the muir
derer went UNPUBLISHED. The legisla-
ture once offered a reward of $4,000 for
the conviction of the murderer and the
reward is probably yet in force.

Wheat Closed strong-oats Strong
est Thing in the Pit.


est Thing in the Pit.
Chicago, Nov. H. Wheat was fairly
strong at the opening and for some
time after, although keeping within q
range so narrow as to be remarkable,
even for dull market.
The foreign wheat markets were not
as bearishly affected Ivy the da2.in ; of
the day before at Chicago DIS they
were expected to be, and The nOrrh-
western receipts were VerY much
lighter. Private cablegrans also con-
firmed yesterdays dispatches, report
Argentine wheat crop With s'Ich en-
couragement to holders the market
here opened at a slight Improvement
over yesterdays closing prices, May
starting at S91a@S95s and selling short
ly after at S97s. Only few OF the
smaller shorts covered, and as the
bulls did not press the market the
trade during the morning was very
small, with prices keeping a little
above yesterdays closing figures.
The two northwest receiving points,
Minneapolis and Duluth, reported 1853
cars of wheat today, against LAO a
week ago. Chicago had 127 carloads
inspected into store against 104 last
week and sc Il year ago. Liverpool had
declined sd. per Genital before trading
started here, but Paris was quoted
from centimes to 15 centimes higher
for wheat and 20 centirnes higher for
near deliveries of -four to 10 centimes
Improvement for March-April
The market was aided in a degree
by liberal Atlantic clearances The
quantity of wheat cleared from Allan
tic ports was 341, 600 bushels, and of
flour $4,000 barrels. or equal together
70 ET1r ICIc
ket receipts of wheat were 1000, 6S3
bushels, compared with 81, S55 bushels
the year before, and, therefore, today's
excess was not so markedly bearish as
recent similar comparisons.
dispatch from San Francisco said
the price of wheat there was 4 cents
per Genital lower than it sold yesterday.
New York advices in the forenoon said
that there was very little appearance
of export demand The market here
was oversold, however, and furry
that started in oats, putting UP the
December price of that article 1c. per
bushel, communicated additional ner-
vousness to the shorts in wheat At
ter II o'clock the price began to feel
the effects of the jump in the coarser
grains, and for the first time in the
session the price of May got above 90c
1t stayed above that mark, the adj
vance started by the unusual strength
and activity of oats keeping the mar
ket going until, near the end, May
was bringing 9O7s. The close was
strong at 90% 090B
Corn was dull market, with prac-
tically nothing going on, except
changing, until oats developed its
strength. This aroused the shorts and
the market was transformed into an
exceedingly lively one
Oats were strong-the strongest
thing on the floor The strength was
started by the acceptance at &c. over
yesterdays prices of all of last nights
cable offers from here, and there was

Provisions opened strong, and al
though trade was very small all day,
prices were we'll maintained.

SOVEREIGN FOR VICE PRESIDENT
HE WILL NOT OPPOSE BRYAN
FOR FIRST PLACE.
knights of Labor Denounce Banking
System and ''Hatched" Sale of
U. P. Road-Strong Resolutions.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 1.-THE gen.
eral assembly of the Knights Of La
bor which has been in session in this
city since the early part of last week,
completed it's work today and adj
journed until the second Tuesday of
next November, when it will convene
again in Chicago.
Today's proceedings We're the most
interesting and spirited of any since
the session began. The most impor-
tant matter taken up at the morning
session was the suggestion of the
adoption of a constitution governing
the degree of the philosophers stone,
which is conferred upon every delegate
to the general assembly. At the af-
ternoon session resolutions were passed
euiogizing the late Henry George as
one of the ablest advocates of labor's
cause, in whose death the wOrxingmen
have lost one of their most sincere
friends. Resolutions were also passed
commencing the services of Past Mas
ter Workman Sovereign. Other reso-
lutions were then adopted as follows:
Declaring unequivOcaily for the in
alleged haSty action of the deputy
sheriffs in the Hazelton affair, and
calling upon the government to take
such steps as will bring the offenders
to justice, and denOuncing the Cleve-
land administration for Matching
the sale of the Union Pacific railroad,
and the present administration for
carrying out the plan.
Resolutions were passed denCuncing
the check system of paying city en-
ployees. This was directed at the
claims havers.
The financial question occasioned no
end of discussion and finally resulted
in the adoption OF resolutions strongly
denouncing the national banking sys-
TEN.
A delegate to the general assembly
from New York City and one of the
most prominent in the body, said this
evening to an Associated Press repre-
sentative that Mr.. Sovereign beyond a
doubt would be a candidate for the
nomination for the presidency in 1900
If he said, Mr. Bryan insists on
making a fight for the nomination, Mr.
Sovereign will not oppose him. for the
two are warm friends. In that event
Mr.. Sovereign will become a candidate
for the nomination of vice president.
1t was natural for Mr.. Sovereign to
deny the report, as he did not care for
the capitalists to interfere this early
in his canvass and thus greatly injure
him before the fight was fairly on
Regarding the resolution passed de-
nOuncing the sale of the Union Pacific
road the objection is not raised as
much to the sale itself as to the con-
ditions upon which it was made, and
the general assembly calls upon con-
gress to nullify the same by rescind-
ing the order of the attorney general.

SUDDEN DEATH.
RAILROAD LAND CASE.
E. a. Box Wants His Money Back
or a Title,

Brigham, Nov. 16.-The jury decided
that Rasmussen was guilty of unlaw-
fully taking water from the irrigation
ditch and appropriating it to his own
use.
The case of E. A. Box VS.. Southern
Pacific railroad and D. p Tarpey. is
getting quite interesting. Byron Groo,
with much documentary evidence, has
been called up to testify. The plaintiff
claims that he has paid about Zoo on
the land in question and that the rail-
road company refuses to refund any of
that amount, nor can they give title.
In the discussion Of the many points
before the court the arguments were
quite long and heated. Mr.. Groo went
down on the evening train to return
tomorrow with additional documents
for reference and evidence.
Taxpayers kept the treasurer on the
jump up to 6 O'Clock last evening try
ing to get their payments in before
they came into default. A good proper
ton is in. but the delinquent list will
be of some length after all.

REMARKABLE STORY.
Blame For Chinese Smuggling Laid
on Canadian Pacific.

On Gdnad1an Pac1nC.
Auburn, n. Y, Nov. 17.-C. H. Brown,
assistant United States attorney, who
is conducting the trial of cases in the
United States district court here, is
authority for a, remarkably story in the
smuggling Of Chinese into this country.
Mr.. Brown said that the cost of depOrt-
ing Chinese has been very great, and
has been on the increase, as is also the
case with smuggling Chinese. The gov
eminent. Mr. Brown says, laws the
blame for the greater part of the illicit
traffic on the employees of the Cana
dian Pacific railway, and Attorney Cen
eral Mckenna, it is stated, will insti-
tute an action against the corporation.
The government AYERS, according to
Mr. Brown, that the railway employees
conspire with government officials to
break the law. A bill of costs is being
compiled, and as each deportation
costs $500, the total will be very large.
When this is done, Mr.. Brown gays, the
action will be commenced. If it can be
proved that any other railroad has been
a party to breaking the law, an action
against it will also be brought.

MRS. RADCLIFFE's ACCIDENT.
1t was under circumstances and CON
ditions as above related that Mrs. Rad
cliffe, wife of Professor Thomas Rad
cllffe, the organiSt, became the victim
of very painful accident at about 6: 80
last evening, when she alightad from
the street car. Although the scene of
the mishap was we'll lighted at a later
hour, Mrs. Radcliffe declares that the
surroundings We're in total darkness at
the time she got off the car If the
conductor warned her of the danger
she did not hear him. AT all events,
she made but one step after the car
stopped before she fell headlong into
the unprotected trench. The uncon-
SciouS lady was conveyed to her home
at S3S East South Temple street and
DR.. Plummer summoned. The doctor
made an examination of the patients
injuries and found her suffering from
severe bruises, cuts and sprains. par
ticularly upon the upper part of the
body Fortunately, she will not have
to remain in bed more than a week,
it is hoped. DR.. Plummer expressed
the opinion that it was almost miracu-
lous that Mrs. Radcliffes fall was not
attended with very serious if not fatal
results.
