FairmOnt Held Up.

A citizen Of Fairmont was held up
at high noon within the corporate
limits of the town few days ago and
nearly beaten to death. He was rob-
bed of quite sum of money in addi-
ton to the carresses bestowed by
means of coupling pin. The robber
has escaped and there is no clue to
him. It's great thing to be a great
city.

THOSE who had to work in the sun
during the last few hot days have
suffered great deal from the heat
but SO far as learned there have been
no prostrations due to the heat.
Many of the cities report large num-
bers of people knocked out by the
warm weather. We hardly ever suf-
fer from this source.

REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
Stocks. Money, Exchange, Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York, May 26-The market
opened with contipuance of the up
ward movement which was in force
yesterday. Yesterdays sharp advance
brought in a moderate volume of buy
Ing orders to the commission houses.
which were put in at the opening.
There seems TO have been also consid-
cradle enthusiasm awakened in the
American department oe the London
market by the same cause. The inter-
national stocks were bid up there be-
fore the opening here, and the arbi-
TRACE brokers promptly bid them UP
TO q parity here. 1t soon became APP
parent, however, that the bull party
was no more prepared to make extern
Give commitments on the eve of hol-
iday than the bears, and the activity
soon came to a standstill. The fever
ish and erratic tendency of Consoli-
dated Gas helped to unsettle the mar
ket. It's sudden drop was supposed by
outsiders to indicate some new posi-
bility in the franchise tax law and
other stocks in the same group fell
away in sympathy.
When the announcement was made
of the action of the gas directors In
reducing the quarterly dividend rate
from to IL per cent, there was some
recovery In the stocks of other New
York municipal corporations. AS a
cialties were weak. Sugar was con-
spicuous sufferer on account of the re-
duction in the price of cube sugar,
which presag ed another stage of a war
OF sugar producers and effectualiy de-
molished the recently current reports
of an agreement upon which the stock
had advanced. The extreme decline in
Gas was ten points. and it closed only
quarter above that. Sugar lost six
points but rallied and closed with 4
net loss of 3&. Both American and
Continental Tobacco, American Steel
and Wire. Anaconda and American
Smelling were points of weakness
Manhattan. Brooklyn Transit and Met
ropolitan Street Railway recovered Il
large part OF their losses When the
selling movement had spent its force
In the afternoon heavy buying orders
appeared for Atchison preferred. and
st. Paul which wiped out for the most
part the few slight losses in the rail-
road list. The market eascd off slight
~. with the final break In the special
ties. but many railroads show fraction
al gains on the day.
1t was expected that the demand for
loans. which are made to-day To carry
over to w lneSday, would stiffen the
money market, but no disturbance was
prrcep;lble there. Sterling exchange
maintained It's easy tone under the in
fuence of London buying OF stocks In
+Dite OF the demand for transmission
by saturdays outgoing steamers.
The market for bonds continued rela-
lively more active and stronger than
that for stocks, Il number of new high
record prices being made. Prices yield
cd at some points in the list with the
break In stocks. and made the days
changes mixed. Total sales. s4.302 900.
