Weekly Market Review,

The war excitement has exerted no de-
clded influence on the market for securi-
ties The volume of trading was moderate,
but prices were remarkably we'll maintain
ed, and closing quotations show a general
material gain, some properties among
them the American Sugar Refinery, dis
playing pronounced strength There has
been less fear of tight money in the near
future, as the financial situation seems
fairly satisfactory. Foreign demand for
American food products continues very
large, and so far there has been no marked
disturbance of general business. Stocks
would, no doubt advance on early success
of the American arms as forecasting a
speedy end to the war; but if the initial
engagements should result disastrously,
sharp break in values may be expected
Should the situation remain practically
unchanged for several days longer, prices
might naturally recede somewhat from the
recent advance.
Cotton was moderately active, but with
no great price changes There was some
early weakness. owing to a less urgent
demand for spot cotton abroad and a free
liquidation of May contracts. Later the
decline was recovered, but the market
weakened again on Saturday and closed
about points lower August, 6.26c Therd
is some increase in the feeling that the
the next crop, and the temperature has
been too low for an early favorable start.
In some sections cotton is being plowed up
and the land replanted in grain. The out.
look seems to favor higher rather than
lower prices, especially if it should de-
velope that the decrease in the acreage
proves greater than hitherto expected.
Wheat was active and excited In tho
middle of the week May sold up to $1.2j
and July CSC From this there was sharp
reaction of SEC in July, but the market
turned strong again, and July closed at csc,
about &c higher than a week ago; May
closed 81. 2O14. Large export demand ex-
cited markets abroad and rapidly reduc
ing stocks were the main bullish influ-
ences On the other hand, crops are prom
Using finely almost everywhere, except in
California. and wheat is by far the highest
of all leading staples. Yet, when it is
considered that consumption is eagerly
buying wheat at the present high figures
for spots, it may well be doubted, at least,
whether enough new wheat will come in
during the two months interim to cause
decline of 25c a bushel.
Corn was firmer, and closed about l1sc
higher; July, 345sc.
Oats. strong, and May advanced 4c,
closing Sic The stock of available oats in
Chicago is absurdy small, considering the
large quantity of short contracts, and
corner is suggested.
Provisions, variable. but closed higher,
Ned by lard, which was strong in sympathy
with advancing markets abroad Closing
prices for July were: Pork, $11.35; ribs,

be toward higher prices.

cry on May contracts, and the effect is

Get Him Out.
Douglas, Ca, May lack Holmes was
hanged here Friday for the murder of j.
N. Bitch. The drop fell at S22 o'clock,
and after hanging for seventeen minutes
he was pronounced dead.
In 1893 Holmes, who is known as a
Scuffietonian or mixed blooded Crowatan
Indian, from Scuffletown, North Carolina,
was employed as a turpentine hand by
Messrs Carter e. Bitch, naval stores
manufacturers. near Willacoochee, in Cof-
fee county. On May in that year ]. n.
Bitch paid off all the employees, when it
came lack Holmes turn to receive his
pay he was drinking and insolently dis
puted his account and time. Mr.. Bitch
told him to take the pay. that the books
showed to be due, and go off and get
sober and come back in the morning, and
he would thoroughly examine, and if
there was any error it should be correct
ed Holmes cursed around the commits
sary for while, and went off muttering
that he would have satisfaction yet. The
next morning, while Mr.. Bitch was
peacefully sitting upon his commlssary
steps, Holmes, armed with a Winchester
rifle and yet drinking, approached Mr..
Bitch and after a few words shot him
dead.
Holmes made his escape, and remained
at large until the first part Of the pres
ent year, when he was captured by Sheriff
Hodges of Marion county, Florida, and
was brought back TO Coffee county The
rewards aggregated $500. He was tried at
the March term Of Coffee Superior Court,
a verdict OF guilty of murder rendered.
and he was sentenced by Judge Sweat to
be hanged April 20.
This is the first legal execution In Coffee
county since its organization in 1854
Holmes wonderful nerve and religious
convictions stood with him TO the last, he
being the least excited man participating
in the gruesome affair. The only sensa-
tional feature occurring, was that when the
sheriff went to take Holmes out of the
Douglas jail, the combination would not
work and the steel cell door had to be
cut off with cold chisels, barely getting
him executed within the time prescribed
in the sentence.
