There was some jugglery with money
rates yesterday afternoon and the highest
prices of the day in the stock market were
not held, but nevertheless, the day as
whole must be considered to have been
satisfactory one to the friends of strong
market. During the entire morning there
was buying and advancing prices, some
of the gains being important, and the losses
of the afternoon We're not caused to any
extent by liquidation. Money went as high
as 15 per cent in the afternoon, Sppar-
emily for the same reason largely that it
went to 40 per cent last week, manipu-
lation, and this advance in the rate was
accompanied by selling short by the bears.

improvement in tone was most welcome

Money reached the banks during the latter
part of the week which, under the system

a much better shape Immediately. This
being the outlook for easier money the

that if money is to remain at 5 and per

this TO be the case, careful financial peo-
pie believe that there Is still a large chance
for Improvement In prices nearly all over

may be necessary, perhaps. The immedi-

which will probably allow OF advantageous
purchases for the coming BOOM
The action of the steel and iron securi-
ties suggests that they are quite likely to
be among the leaders of the coming ad-
vance. The business OF these companies
has continued to increase during the past
six months and now when the stock prices

said with truth by the majority OF the com

Louisville and Nashville, Southern Rail-

ties all had good advances during the early
hours of the day, but later there was real
izing and short selling that deprived them
of large part of their gains. On the
whole, however, this group OF Southern
securities must be said to have acted in a
most encouraging manner. They showed
that the public is becoming interested In
them and the indications were very plain
that they win be taken up when the general
market is favorable. Louisville and Nash

The higher priced grangers are not likely
to be among the leaders of the advance for
the reason that the public has been edu-
Gated to consider them already high enough
in price with money at the present high
rates. Later this discrimination against
st. Paul and others will disappear largely,
as the argument Is only half true and
worth much less than the bears would
have the street believe. The grangers have
attained to high prices in the past with
money lending for much higher rates than
it is likely to lend for this winter And
there has never been any time In the past
when the grangers were SC prosperous or
had such a bright outlook before them as
they have now. Atchison preferred is like
ly TO be taken up among the first stocks in
the advance and there is little doubt in the
minds Of the best people in the street
that the stock will have fine advance be-
fore the end OF the calendar year. The
interview with Secretary Wilson yester-
day. in which he is quoted as saying that
the corn crop will be stupendous, and will
make the farmers in the corn belt I'm
mensely prosperous, has attracted some at
tenticn though the Secretary told nothing
new and nothing that the friends of the
granger systems have not weighed fully.

The grangers were among the weaker Sc
curities in the days business They all
opened at advanced prices, but succumbed

Handley Not entity.


The LaMoure County Chronicle pub
fishes long account Of the Handley
murder case, one of the most interest
ing that has been tried in the state.
Handley shot and killed his wife,
through rage or temporary insanity at
her continual improper relations with
one Judge Wheary. q negro barber.
The prosecution merely establishes
the fact Of the shooting. The defense
argued temporary insanity, and Hand
ley testified that he had intended to
kill the negro why he killed his wife
he did not know. The jury acquitted.
Sympathy seems to be with Handley.
