Toy Making.

A great many toys are now made IN
this country, including many mechan'
zeal devices. Many toys are still i'm
ported Such things as woody sheep
and dogs, now as highly priced by GILL
dren as ever, come from Germany, us
do the skin-covered horses. They could
be made here, but they can be produced
cheaper abroad.
As a rule whatever can be made by
machinery is made here, while toys
made by hand are mostly imported.
The minute thing IS brought within
the reach of machinery. American man
ufacturers can pay their higher prices
for labor and still beat the world. With
the low prices Of labor in foreign corln-
tries handmade productions can ne
made cheaper in them. AS a result
of this there toys of some kinds when
in their completed state are partly
American and partly foreign. Among
these are toy vehicles with horses at
tached. The vehicles and everything
in and about them may be the product
of American machinery, while the
horse standing between the shafts may
no from Germany.-New York Sun.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins 4 Company's Review
Of Trade.

There has not been much doing in
the wheat market during the past week.
The visible supply decreased $3.50, 900
bushels, and the exports from both
coasts We're equal to about 5000, 900
bushels. Crop reports from the Argen-
tine are less favorable and the crop
is reported damaged by frost. Should
this report be confirmed it will fur
nish strong bull incentive to the
market. Not the least important
change in the situation is the decreas-
ing receipts Of winter wheat-sufiicient-
ly marked to offset the increased move
ment of the spring wheat crop. The
export sales have not been large, but
sufficiently so to show that our mar,
kets are on an export basis and that
the demand continues constant Local
speculative conditions remain practi-
cally the same as during the previous
week. The weakness in values is more
apparent than real and results from
lack of speculation and moderately in
creasing stocks. There is no sound ar
gument for any decline i'm values ut
present There are several arguments
and many possibilities in favor of an
advance. Should Russia prohibit ex-
ports or should any serious damage oc-
cur to the Argentine crop, extreme
high values would obtain. Wheat is
fully worth 80 to 95 cents under exist
ing conditions, and as the speculative
public become educated to the higher
values now ruling renewed speculative
support and increasing export sales will
carry values higher.
Our corn market has been dull and
nintercsting-devoid of any particular
features or change in previous condi-
lions. except that farmers sales of corn
to arrive have fallen off to the mini
mum. Local sentiment has been and
continues extremely bearish. Short
sellers have taken advantage OF every
opportunity to depress values, but the
market has developed a strong under
tone and values have ruled higher than
at the close of the previous week. Ex-
port clearances continue large and the
cash demand, while still inadequate,
shows some improvement. The depress-
ing influence in the market continues
to be the large stocks.

New York, Oct. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says
General Weyler will fight tooth and
nail against being removed from Cuba.
He is trying TO terrorizc the liberal
government into retaining him in COM
mand in Cuba until next June, and if
recalled now he will utilize his in
fluence over the army to create distur.
Dances in the peninsula or sell himself
to the Carlists.
Now that the late conservative adj
minstration is no more than shat
tered remnant, the organs of the con-
sentative press are nothing backward
in vtupearting one another, and the
defunct ministry is so malignant in
tone as to clearly bctray that there was
no intention whatever of surrendeiing
the reins of government had not the
queen regent herself deliberately in
duced and insisted on the crisis.
In consequence OF this the fallen
magnates of that administration
which has been one of continuous
brawl and national scandal for so many
weary months, are being so bitterly as
sailed in the columns OF their own
newspapers that their tempers are said
to have suffered in the glorious melee,
and more than one has to part from
public life and even from Madrid, with
scowls upon his brow and anathcmas
upon his lips, which has caused no
little merriment to the unconcerned on
lockers

SENORiTA ClSNEROS' ESCAPE.
Additional Facts Brought to Light by
the Investigation.

Havana, Oct. ll.--The escape of
Scnorita Evangelne Cassie, otherwise
Cassie y Cisncros, has caused quite Il
sensation in Havana. Investigations
made by the authorities have developed
Il number of additional facts. 1t is now
asserted that the young woman escaped
between / O'Clock and midnight, We'd
nesday, over the roof OF neighborng
house, and through it to the street,
where the police found Il ladder. The
police also found on the roof a loaded
revolver and a new rope, evidently used
as Il guiding rope to enable the escaping
prisoner to cross the plank bridge from
the house near the Casa de Recogdias
to the roof OF that prison.
Some of the details of the young
Cuban's escape are quite romantic.
The companions of the young woman
cay that the day before Senorita Cassie
escaped, she received package be-
lieved to contain drugged candies.
Contrary to her usual custom, she did
not at once distribute the candies to her
prison companions, but waited until

did So, and soon afterwards fell into a
deep sleep, and did not awaken through
out the night. Fcrdinandez, the jaier
in charge of Casa de Racogdas, and
four employees of the government on
duty there, have been arrested and con-
fined incommunicado, pending the re-
suit of the inquiry into the escape.
Madame Ana Milan de Bendou, who
has been in charge of the hall at the
Casa de Rccogdias, where Senorita
Evangelinea Cassie was confined, and
in whose house in San Rafael street
the police several months ago found
trunks containing dynamite and cart
ridges, is one OF the four employees who.
with the jailer, have been arrested,
and held, pending the inquiry being
made into the circumstances OF the cs
cape OF SenOiita Cassie.
