Of the depressing infence of London
and Europe. except at the opening when
a few of the international stocks were
allowed to fall below the London parity.
The selling of stocks on foreign account
made up a considerable proportion of the
days business and they were we'll alb

ancy of the wheat market made the
grain carrying roads prominent in the
movement, the buying of Atchison securi-
ties, particularly the preferred. again Oc-
cupying a conspicuous place. But the
tocks of all the Western roads were
bought and advanced in price.
Sugar ended its downward course yer!

Tobacco also was marked up to 1928
with every evidence Of violent manipu-
lati0n. and shorts were driven to cover
heavily at every stage of the advance.
Even the coalers showed the effects of
the uncertainty of temper developed By
the bears and made recovcries on the
short offerings. The bank statement was
just about as expected and had little eff
feet one way or the other. The gain in
cash had been in imported gold and by
the OutgO from the Sub-Treasury, and
the heavy increase in loans of over $40
100000 represent for the most part loans
on sterling. which is an clement in the
lending of money abroad. The in
crease deposits from this source expanded
the reserve requirements so far that the
increased cash only served to raise the
surplus by So, 100, 10. Business in both
stocks and bonds was we'll distributed
and active and the market showed
a decided tendency to branch out. The
amount of business done was larger than
for any half day for some time.

crossed. and prices nave recovered from

outside of the cloth market during the

COTTON.

New York, October 22.-The cotton
market opened steady with prices 1 to
> points higher, but exhibited very little
animation early in the session with
scarcely Il point fuctuation in quotations..
The feature of news was the statement
that killing frosts had occurred last night
in nearly every State in the cotton belt
with the temperature at : o'clock this
morning only Il few degrees over freez-
ing point. As this condition had been
quite generally discounted. sentiment
was affected very little by the bullish
change.
Receipts continued to be the gauge
used by the trade in sizing up the crop.
The chief support of the future markets
here and abroad is still the demand for
spot cotton at all points. To-day Liver
pool cables had no direct bearing on the
market.
Late i'll the afternoon the market i'm
proved materially on Il burst of covering
Ivy those shorts fearing possible sensa-
tIonal developments in the cotton belt or

TRAGEDY AT TOPEKA.
Prominent Citizen Shot and Killed
by an Unknown Person.

TOPEKA (Kans.), May 13.-J. S. Col
Inns, one of the most prominent citizens
OF Topeka, a well-known real estate
man, was killed in bed at O'Clock this
morning by an unknown person. The
weapon used was a shotgun belonging
to Mr.. Collins. Two shots were fired in
rapid succession. Mrs. Collins was
slightly wounded
The murderer stood near the foot of
the bed, and the first shot was fired as
Mr.. Collins raised up in bed. The sec
ond was fired evidently after he fell.
When found he was lying across the
bed.
in the sitting-room downstairs on a.
folding bed Adjacent to the room was
large closet in which Mr.. Collins kept
his shotgun and loaded shells. Mrs.
Coll1s says that the gun was never
loaded
Mrs. Collins was awakened by the
roar of the gun Two shots came in
such quick succession that she could
not distinguish between them.
"Helen, Helen!" cried Mr.. Collins, II
am shot in the back. Get the camphor,
Helen, and rub my back"
Mrs. Collins bent over the PROSTATE
form of her husband, and saw the blood
gushing from the wound in the shoul-
der. 1t was at first thought that a
burglar committed the act. This is
doubted. however
