rank with the best recorded in any cor
responding period. While there are
Strengthened stocks abroad and less sat

an additional stimulating feature was
injected into the situation this week by
the more warlike appearance of the
Franco-British situation. Much OF this
demand is necessarily what might be
termed forward business. however.
General distributive trade. particular
ly at the north, appears to have suffered
from bad weather conditions this week,
which have, however, induced consider
able buying of boots and shoes, rubber
goods and heavy clothing at many mar
kets- The situation at the south is
rather more favorable. owing to de-
crease of the yellow fever scare. The
foreign trade situation is about
described last week, except that large
decreases in a few leading exports have
been partly made up by increased ship

Prices are quite strong. notable in
this respect being all the cereals. lard.

TOLD ABOUT TOWN.

On returning from visit to the
state fair at Springfield an uptown
business man announced to his conf
Dental friends that during his absence
he had betook himself of bride. He
told the story in all earnestness and
sincerity, apparently. The happy
news, as it is natural that it should
in such cases, spread like wild-fire,
and it was not many hours until
everyone in the neighborhood had
heard of it.
A delegation of the young man
acquaintance held conference and
decided that charivari would be in
order. That night the groom was
aroused by terrific racket, the ring
ing of bells and the beating of tin
pans, ETC.. outside his chamber win
dow. He was at a loss to understand
the occasion for the ovation.
When he made his appearance the
music grew more pronounced and in
harmonious. He asked for eXplana-
tions, and when a committee came up
to- congratulate him on behalf of the
assembled hosts and requested that he
do the royal he realized the folly
of his statement of few hours be-
fore.

Among the cases ignored by the
September grand jury was that of
o. III. CRUDE, who was charged with
larceny, having stolen bicycle and
taken it to Chicago, where he was
captured and brought back to Rock
Island. Pending the investigation of
his case by the grand jury, the ac-
cused man, whose relatives, residing
at Ottumwa, Iowa, are well-to-do,
was admitted to bail. In the mean
time the war broke out, and CRUDE
enlisted with an Iowa regiment. Be
cause he was soldier the jury de-
termined to release him from prose-
cution. Unfortunately he did not
live to enjoy the freedom which had
been given him, for soon after his
regiment came back from the south
for rendezvous at Des Moines he fell
victim to fever, and died.

No Hurry About Havana.

There seems to be disposition among
he military authorities to permit Cap
tain General Blanco to remain at Ha-
vana and fortify himself as much as he
likes. 1t is evident they have conclud-
ed to starve him out. or at least to al
low him to remain undisturbed until
everything else in sight has been cap
iurcd and put under the United States
dag. 1t is argued that the capture Of
Havana would cost an enormous sacri-
ice of life and require II siege OF long
duration that would expose our soldiers
to most unwholesome and dangerous
climate, while so long as General
Blanco keeps his soldiers within the
fortifications Of the city they are quite
rs harmless as If they had never come
to Cuba at all.
While 1t is impossible to obtain any
definite Information from the war
board those who are in the habit of
talking with the President on these sub
jects believe that our fleets are more
likely to attack Cadiz than Havana If
the Spaniards do not surrender when
Puerto Rico falls.
