COUNTY SHOULD HAYElNTEREST
Treasurer Lloyd Talks Aboat the
Advertised Tax List

The advertised list OF 1898 delinquent
taxes is now in the hands OF the printers
for publication. Treasurer N. l.. Lloyd
says the list Is much smaller than here
tofore. owing greatly to the fact that
payments have been prompter than for
many years past The list will be adver-
tised and all property on which taxes
have not been settled in the meantime
wfll be sold on September 3. The city
will then be flooded, as usual. with spec
ulators who will buy in the best claims
and draw Is per cent interest on their
certificates until the time the property
owner sees Mt to redeem It Probably
he will never redeem 1t. Mr.. Lloyd says
the system while fair and lenient enough
with the property owner, Is great in
justice to the county. He says he hopes
to see the time ere long when the county
will not be compelled to advertise and
sell these delinquent tax claims to out
side speculators but can hold them itself
and draw the is per cent interest on
them. IL Sedgwick county could do this,
he says, It would save an immense lot
OF money yearly. instead Of giving it to
the Spectator.

SHOT AT THE BURGLARS
Policeman Crawford Draws Blood bat
the Hen Set Away

Policeman Crawford discovered two
men in the act OF burglarizing Henry
Schnitzler's place on North Market Sun
day morning at 1 o'clock. The men had
effected an entrance in some manner and
were ransacking the place while the bar
tender sat asleep in a chair. Mr.. Craw-
ford went in the front way just as the
burglars were going out the back way
after they had knocked the lamp over.
He gave them chase and shot at them
four or ave times. but neither OF them
stopped or fell, although blood was dis
covered I'm the alley Sunday. and 1t Is evil
dent that the policeman wounded one OF
them. They lodged into the open place
on North Market and made their escape.
Nothing was missed from Schnitzler's,
and IL IS evident that they were sur
prised too soon.

PROPHET BORN
BABY WHO Is SEVENTH SON
OF SEVENTH EsOX.


A child has been born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Thompson Alexander, OF 1906 Mccormick
avenue, West Side, which has the extra
ordinary distinction OF being the seventh
SON of the seventh SON.. There are other
peculiarities attending the birth OF the
Alexander baby along the line OF seveas.
1t was born in the seventh hour OF the
seventh day OF the seventh month. Just
seven days before the birthday OF its low
ing father, who sits and doddles 1t on his
knee in the firm belief that he and his
wife have brought forth a prophet. Each
of the fond parents believes strongly in
the old tenet which says that the seventh
son of the seventh son shall be a prophet.
and the mother. especially. who was seen
by a reporter for the Eagle last night, is
SO strongly set In the belief that che said
she had about decided to name her baby
Joshua
There Is something extraordinary
about our baby besides the mere fact
that he is the seventh son Of the fam
ily." said Mrs. Alexander. 81 never
heard of so many things alike in the
birth of one child. Just look at the
sevens- I tell YOU there's something in
it."
The seventh SON Of the present age is
handsome, which Joshua was not. None
of the prophets was pretty when he was
a baby. The only thing which would in
dictate that the Alexander baby Is not to
be a prophet is the fact that he doesn't
cry. Mrs. Alexander says 1t has never
shed any tears to speak Of.
The grandmother Of the Alexander baby
is also its godmother. No physician was
present when it was born, and for four
teen long days the household has kept its
own joy, for not until yesterday was the
news sent out that a new prophet had
been born
Mr.. Alexander is prominent stockman
OF the West Side. He was the seventh

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York, Oct 13.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Trade activity is
widespread, all measures of volume and
value testifying to prevailing prosper
Gus conditions Only good reports are
received from distributive trade centres
and some markets report fall demand
as holding out longer than expected.
Railway earnings, bank clearings, re
turns and quotations of staple prices
to a maximum volume of business for
this period of the year.
Crop returns for October bear out the
earlier Impressions of shortened yields
of most leading agricultural products,
and estimates founded upon the gov
eminent report even pointing to a rath-
er smaller corn yield than has been ex-
pected. Expectation of more moder-
ate yields of leading cereals, however,
is not confined to this country.
The worlds wheat crop will admitted
ly be smaller and rye, barley and oat
yields are not expected to be so large
as a year ago. The higher range of
prices of all staples and particularly of
agricultural products, however, will
furnish a profitable balance to pro-
ducers. The advance in the price of
cotton has been a notable one, and
though some reaction is naturally
noted, the effects upon general south
ern trade and industry of the great ad-
vance are particularly beneficial, as
this section alone has appeared to lag
somewhat behind the procession of
prosperity.

though orders for next season are re-
tarded by prices. Leather is shade
higher, but buying of sole has been
checked by the recent advance, as
manufacturers appear to have rather
larger supplies, and the Chicago mar
ket for hides though quoted little
higher, seems uncertain. The demand
for wooden goods is fairly large and
prices are we'll sustained, though not
further advanced.
In goods of the better class there is
some anxiety. Sales of wool are small
err, only 7,473, 300 pounds for the week at
the three marke.s without further adj
vance. The cotton manufacturer meets
so great a demand that prices advance
every week, and supplies for early de-
livery are in many lines restricted.
More business is turned down than is
done in brown sheetings and drill and
coarse colored cottons are rising. Big
sales have been made for a moderate
part of the prince cloth. The rise of
about l cent in cotton with current re-
ports of short yield have much inf1u-
ence and though the quantity coming
into sight is larger today than last
year, it has recently been falling be-
hind enough to support the idea that
growers are disposed to hold 1t back,
Another statement by Mr.. Neill pre-
diets a yield of 1l,OOO,OO0 bales, put the
market has yielded little from the high
est point
Wheat exports are still larger than
from the great crop of last year, At
Iantic flour included, having been 1851,
800 bushels in two weeks, against g..
lis, $50 last year. and Pacific 730,44S
bushels, against 1875, 034 last year, The
western receipts have been only IA
SIS, S92 bushels, against 2O,790, 495 last
year, but the course of prices is not
calculated to encourage a big move
ment for after starting at 1887 cts. and
falling rs cents, the market closed at
IS, with December options unchanged.
The government deferred any esti-
mate of yield, and it's figures are as
usual variously interpreted, but not in
fluential.
Corn receipts, 13,7S9,749 bushels,
against 11,047 ,25S in two weeks of last
year, with exports of 6,177 14S bushels,
against 4,367, 59S last year show a sup
ply and a foreign demand which might
well affect the wheat market to some
extent. Failures for the week have
been 1874 in the United States against
205 last year and q in Canada against

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Oct. 13.-The temuer OF
speculation was determinedly bearisr
today and all favorable incidents wer:
persistently ignored. The reactionary
spirit found It's chief vent by selling
Brooklyn Transit. That stock was
easily the leader Of the market in point
OF activity, and although the dealings
did not approach the high water lock
of few weeks ago, the unsupported
condition Of the stock and the large
blocks offered suggested a resumption
of late conditions. Metropolitan Street
Railway seemed to show acute SYM
pathy. Manhattan was little affected
and the New York gas stocks y ere
firm in tone.
There We're some wide movements in
stocks not usually prominent, but the
market as a whole was letharglc. New
York Air Brake fell nine points, and the
Flower group, as a whole, except Rocl,
Island, was notably weak in sympathy
with Brooklyn Transit. Offerings o
Sugar and Tobacco were greater than
could be absorbed, and both stocks
showed sharp net declines. The AalerI-
can Mating stocks were acutely de-
pressed, the common losing ? and
the preferred 21a.
The industrials were more affected
than the railroads, the railroads being
confined to narrow limits Laclede
Gas rose four points, and Great North
ern preferred over a point. The market
seemed rather firm for a time during
the morning, but the persistent weak
ness of Brooklyn Transit broke through
the resistance. Cali loans were decided

exceeding 515 and the majority Of loans

DuN's REVIEW.

New York, Oct. 13.-R. G. Dun g.,
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say: Industrial conditions could
hardly be better After many months
of such extraordinary buying that it's
continuance seemed impossible, even
larger buying still crowds producing
works in most lines beyond their ca
pacity. The iron furnaces are produc-
ing 1l,000 tons weekly more than ever
before, 27s,61 tons October 1, and yet
the actual consumption in manufae-
ture reduced unsold stocks in Septem-
Der by u, $50 tons, while the demand is
far ahead into next year for many
products. After the great buying last
week Bessemer pig rises to $24 at Pitts
burg with No. 1 anthracite at Phila-
delphia and No. / local coke at Chicago,
both quoted at $3.50, and buyers pay

Stock market trading was listless

specialties.
In Boston the general list eased of,
with a drive at Dominion Coal the main
feature, some 5000 shares coming out in
the morning. Not that there is any
change in the company's business, not
that great enterprise of which i5 may
be called part is in any respect less
favorable, but simply that genera mar

tagonism of certain interest, made il
possible to depress the stock by the
usual bear tactics-this explains the
