Special to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va, March 21-The
largest fire this city has had for some
time occurred at an early hour this
morning, when the large department
store of Mccoy Bros. was almost COM
pletely Quilted by the flames. The
alarm of fire was sounded at a few min
utes of four O'Clock, and by the time the
fire department appeared on the scene
the entire upper story of the building
was in flames and burning fiercely.
The fire was discovered by some per-
sons who were on their way home from
work on the Ohio side Of the river, and
they Immediately gave the alarm. In
an Incredible short space of time all
three of the city's volunteer fire COM
panies were on the scene and doing all
in their power to check the progress of
the flames, and in this they did excel
lent work. The fire was without
doubt the most stubborn the depart
ment has been called on to fight here
for long time and the way it was
handled reflects great credit on the
members of the department.
When first discovered the fire was
breaking through the windows and I'M
der the caves of the building, the tin
roof combining it and keeping the flames
froIn breaking through on top. The
firemen worked without the semblance
of fear and in many instances acted like
heroes, rushing into danger to do all
in their power to fight the flames.
The entire upper story of the build
ing was filled with carpets and wall
much tinder the flames bursting cut in
new place every few seconds. The
firemen had quite a number of streams
on the blaze, and after almost two
hours of hard work finally got it under
control and save a number Of buildings
which were close by. The tailor shop
postoff1ce building next door to the
store, was also severely damaged, bat
all the contents Of the store were re-
moved before the flames could do any
damage.
The stock of Mccoy Bros. with very
few exceptions was entirely ruined
either with the water or by the flames
and the loss will be a very heavy one.
The firm carried about $4,000 worth Of
deal Of insurance, some of the policies
which the firm had been carrying hav-
ing run out only few days ago. The
origin of the fire is a mystery.

HOGS Z Z LOVER
Light Supply and Quality
Falls Off,
TOPS DOWN TO S4.2O
Cattle Steady With Mixed
Stuff on Sale, " 10

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
about Oh cents lower. This was entirely
in accord with all the western live stock
markets, the general tone being steady
TO weak, slow. and 21z to cents lower.
The average weight was far below that
OF the day previous, and the quality OF
the hogs was also lower. In all there
were five cars of hogs which went over
The scales. and these brought the best
prices possible, the general tone Of the
western markets being as it was. The
tops went down nickel, but the quail
~ OF hogs on sale was not up to the
grade of Wednesday. The volume of re-
ceipts was below that of the day before,
the latter being an extra heavy day. The
wagon and local trade dropped off yes
derday from the day before, and this di-
vision was light. The demand was good,
and everything in sight sold out and the
close found the pens empty. It was a
day Of easy tone all around, both in the
live stock markets and the provision pit.
The local market, while weak and lower,
was In line with the rest and the down
ward tendency was entirely in sympathy
with the early reports from other points
There was not much life TO the trading
yesterday, due, however, entirely to the
light receipts, the absence of a large run
Of hogs causing the sluggish conditions.

AI The FIRST
Stocks Set About Retrieving
Their Fortunes.
MONEY FURTHER RELIEVED
Confidence Felt That the
Stringency Is Over.

New York, Oct. 5.-The stock market
continued to show marked indifference 10
the disturbance in foreign markets on ac-
count of war scare and of money difficult
ties. as well as to the continued stiffness
Of the local money rate. Prices dipped at
the opening on the rumor OF an invasion
Of Natal by the Boer forces and on the
further advance in the Bank of England's
official rate of discount. But the opening
prices were for the most part the lowest
and the market quite promptly set about
retrieving its decline. The liquidation for
London account was comparatively small
in volume, sales not exceeding 15,e0o
shares. In fact, the foreign stock mar
kets seemed to take no very serious ac-
count Of the strained condition OF affairs
and even the Ka1ir mining stocks, which
would be most vitality affected by the
war, were quite firm. The market Tor
call money in New York showed further
relief from the extreme stringency. To-
days maximum rate was y per cent and
II feH Ee1ore the close DefOH lHc 4csaA
rate The undertone of the market for
stocks was very firm. This was not due
to any large demand, even In the case
Of stocks which moved quite widely. but
rather to the bidding up OF prices by those
interested in seeing a higher figure FOR
their holdings This bidding-up process,
however, failed TO bring out large offer
ings, whoieh fact was significant Of the
markets frmness Another was the large
number of stocks usually dealt in which
were brought into activity. The latter fea-
ture Is always indicative of the presence
O fthe bargain hunter, who Is buying
stocks outright to hold as an investment,
a class OF buyers who DO not depend on
the money market for borrowed funds.
There is undoubtedly a growth OF conf
dence that the stringent period for money
is over. The demand from the interior Tor
funds continues large and man encroach
on the reserve Of interior banks loaned
on call in New York. The rise in the rate
in London caused an additional advance
in the rate for sterling exchange here, In
Paris and in Berlin, and the weak return
of the Bank of England disceurages the
idea that either London or New York can
hope for large relief from that center

WHEAT VERY NERVOUS
Affected by Liverpool, Which
Goes to Cutting Capers
ON TRANSVAAL ACCOUNT
December Up--Coarse Grains
Unchanged Provisions Down

Chicago. Oct. 5.-The antics Of the Liv-
erpool market due TO the uncertain Trans
vaal situation made wheat decidedly nerv-
Gus at times today. December closed at
S-8c, advance, shorts apparently being IN
willing to take chances while the present
Transvaal conditions prevail Corn and
oats were practically unchanged at the
close. Provisions closed about 21-2G5c
lower.
Wheat at the opening was firm and ner-
vously active, with the price over calls.
The initial price for December was 70 3-4
97-sc, which was 3-4c over yesterdays
close. Liverpool, the index Of the war
feeling, failed to hold early grains, how
ever, and the price slid off later under
calls, December to 70 lac, with the mar
ket less active. Early buyers were sell
ers on the decline. The tendency to liqui-
date was checked in a degree by the
smaller receipts at primary points and
the growing belief that winter wheat sup
plies are becoming exhausted. Clearances
were large, this fact exerting an influence
which later ADVANCED the price Of Deem
Der to 70 lie. at which figure it closed.
May wheat opened al 76 3-4Q7-Sc, ranged
to rs IA and 76 S-4Q7-Sc and closed at 70
3-SQ1-2c. Chicago received 254 cars, five
Of contract grade. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 791 cars, as compared with
974 week ago and 864 the corresponding
day of last yea. Western primary mar
kets reported 1,O2S,O0O bushels, against
j, 900 last year. Atlantic port clearances
of wheat and -four were equal to 10, 900
bushels. New York took 81 loads for ex-
port. The market at times was quite ner-
vous over a comparatively narrow range.
The sharp advance at Liverpool and the
sudden reaction in that market Indicated
a feeling of uncertainty in the minds of
English traders over the TransvaaI sit
uation that made local shorts uneasy, and
caused considerable buying by that class
of traders. The demand from this source
was a factor in the late strength of the
market.
Trading in corn was dull. The market
wheat. Big seaboard enga gements had
some InHuence. 1nere was talk OF an
other advance In ocean rates. Receipts
were 72O cars. The seaboard reported 30
loads taken for export. December ranged
from 30G1-S to 30 S-Sc and closed I'M
changed at 9O@1-Sc.
Oats were quiet and steady, influenced
by wheat. The speculative trade was light
and the fluctuations narrow. The cash
demand continued good. There was a
largo demand for May at "a lac with light
offerings at that figure. December ranged
from q 7-Sc to 23G1-Sc and closed a shade
lower at % Use. Receipts were 296 cars.

ket was strong with grain, but later sell
