 Case Again Proceeds

The Twelve Jurors Selected and the
 Case Again Proceeds.
 New York, Nov. 23-The second trial of Martin Thorn for the murder of Will liam Guldensuppe was fairly started to- day in the Queens county court before Justice Maddox. When an adjourn ment was taken yesterday seven jurors had been sworn. The other five jurors were selected before 1 o'clock to-day. After a. recess District Attorney Youngs opened the case for the prosecution. In 0 comprehensive manner he placed the entire case of the people against Thorn before the court and jury, and promised to prove everything that was charged in the indictment.
 He spoke for thirty minutes and as soon as he had finished the taking of evidence was begun. The remainder of the session was taken up in the exam ination of those who found the three bundles, each one containing portion of the discovered body, and several po- lice officers were examined as to the manner in which the different parts were brought to the New York morgue. Tomorrow the coroner and his deputy will be called to te stand and it is quite probable that Clark, Gotha and others who say that Thorn made confessions to them may also be examined.

cline of 65a points, but recovered part of this. Brooklyn Union Gas lost a point in sympathy. The stocks of the American Spirits company showed ex- treme weakness on the reports of the demoralized condition of the trade.
 The common stock fell during the final hour to a point 2A per cent. below last nights close and the preferred 3B per cent. Both stocks rallied, but very feebly. The coalers also declined to weakness, though they showed some re- covery from the lowest. There was some selling of Union Pacific, probably induced by the call for the payment of the third 5 per cent. assessment to-mor- row, but the decline did not exceed E and was recovered before the close. Leather preferred was weak and lost over point on disappointment that the dividend declared was limited to l per cent. There was some little selling of St. Paul and Northern Pacific preferred for London account, but without per ceptible effect on this market.
 A feature of the day was a further rise of 1s in the actual rates for sterling exchange. This is in face of a contin- ued very heavy outward movement of merchandise and of selling of securities here for London account of insigniti- cant proportions The weeks exports of merchandise from New York exceed ed those of last week by $2,564, 400 in value and are almost as much in ex- cess of those for the corresponding period of last year.
 The dullness and flrmness of the eX- change market is undoubtedly due to the lending of money abroad in prefer ence to drawing on it by exchange bills. | A Chicago bank official is authority for the statement that several million dol lars of Chicago money Is now loaned in England and the continent and the total amount of money owing to per sons in the United States, but left tc | draw the higher rate of interest In England and on the continent undoubt- edly mounts up to many millions though no accurate estimate can well
