reason of the growth of company earn
ings
The Changers continued the favorites,
but Burlington fen slightly into the back
ground to make way for st Paul and
Rock Island, the former rising an extreme
rs and the latter IL. Dealings in these
stocks were very large.
Considering the week : rise in the prices,
the nrmness at the close is remarkable
The embarkation upon large speculative
and investment outlay an the stock mar
ket, which the week has witnessed is
striking evidence of growing confidence on
the part OF capital in the business out
look. The confidence is based on many
different factors. The developments which
precipitated the upward movement was
undoubtedly the growing conviction that
peace with Spain is close at hand and is
to bring with it very large advantages
to the country.
All the uncertainties which suggester
themselves earlier in the summer have
been gradually dissipitated. The wheat
crop is evidently by far the largest on
record. The weeks rain is the corn belt
nave gone far TO remove fears regarding
the corn crop. The only doubt about the
cotton crop is whether the world can on
sumo It, even at the low price prevailing,
The conviction is growing that even with
good crops there would be found a good
market for our surplus crop owing to the
large depletion of revenues of old wheat
to meet last years needs
The foreign demand for wheat and even
for corn continues good. It is now con-
clusiVely shown that there is no cause
for uneasiness over the effect on the
money market of the government loan.
The activity in the iron trade is one OF
several signs of industrial and trade re-
viVal which together with the movement
of crops is expected to give largely ex-
tended uses for money
There will undoubtedly be large EN-
barkation Of capital is Porto Rico Cuba,
and the Philippine. Confident expecta-
ton of such demands for money must be
looked 10 to explain a present import
movement Of gold in view of the present
plethora of money.

A STATE OF PANIC.
Thousands Are Fleeing from yellow
Fever in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
tion Is Imminent.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 10.-With every
hour the panic in Mississippi continues
and all who can are fleeing from the
dread yellow fever. Nine carloads of
fugitives passed through the city Sat
urday night, and every train for the
east or north is crowded with those
who have means sufficient to warrant
such step. With the great majority
of citizens, however. flight is impossi-
be, and among these thousands are al-
ready in the direst need. Mercantile
houses are closed, manufacturing
plants shut down and all business aban-
doned, throwing employees out of work,
which means in most cases actual
starvation. Few of the wage-earning
| classes are thrifty, and the loss of sal
aries leaves them dependent upon pub
/ lie charity for food. 1t is estimated
that over 5000 are suffering for the nee
essarics of life, and this number does
| not include thousands within reach of
private charities.
At present there are II infected
towns in the state, including Ridge
land, Madison county, reported at a
late hour, where there are number Of
northern people. These people cawe
here from Illinois and established a
colony. They have been advertising and
booming the town, raising vegetables
and fruit for shipment north, and this
visitation is a heavy blow to them.

church, was burned alive Saturday
