present rectory will in all probability
be remodelled and made in keeping
with the other attractive surroundings.

CARBONDALG.
ALBERT GIsLoN SHOT.
Ezriah Wolfenden Placed Under
$1,000 Bail Yesterday.

Ezriah Wolfenden, desperate char
acter who resided near No. l mine on
the South Side, was arraigned before
Alderman Jones yesterday charged
with having shot Albert Gislon with
intent to kill. He pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Gislon testified that several shot
took effect in his shoulder and two
companions who were with him on the
Delaware and Hudson caboose when
the shooting occurred corroborated his
testimony.
1t seems the three men stood on the
rear platform when Wolfenden, who
was passing with his housekeeper, who
gave her name as Minnie Hill, and
home as Jermyn, was seized with a
fit of jealousy. He ran in his house
and brought out q shot gun with which
he did the mischief.
The prisoner said he was shooting at
a hen hawk, and the alderman COM
mitted him to Jail in default OF $1,000
bail.
Wolfenden is apparently 40 years old
while the girl with whom he has been
living does not appear to be twenty.
She says he becomes insanely jealous
at times.

was accompanied by statement from
the directors that enough would remain
out of the earnings for that period, after
providing for all previous charges and
setting aside a reasonable sum- for a
reserve, to supply another similar divi-
dend in January next. The bear party
had been very voluble in assertions, that
1t was question whether the dividend on
Atchison preferred could be maintained
at all, owing to the failure of crops in the
company's territory. Predictions had been
current in Wall street that the preferred
stock will be selling 10 points below its
present level. This alleged condition in
Atchison affairs played large part in
the campaign of the bears. The refuta-
ton of it and the changed aspect of the
speculative outlook for sugar undermined
their position so seriously that they be-
came alarmed and FASTENED to cover.
Dividends and other favorable develop
ments also brought some outside demand
for stocks through commission houses. Of
these developments the most potent was
the continued large earnings shown by
current returns from railroads of every
group and from all sections of the coun-
try. There has grown up a more conf
dent and cheerful feeling regarding the
coming crops. Damage to winter wheat,
it is alleged, will be offset by the spring
wheat crop and the increased interior re-
ceipts of wheat indicates large reserves
in farmers hands, for which the damage
to the Russian crop will help to provide
good market. Money is obviously abun-
dant and no contingency Is now foreseen
which can make it scarce. The outgoing
gold movement is in itself an evidence of
the plethoric condition of money, for it is
certain that when the crops begin to go
abroad there will grow up a trade bal
ance in our favor again. If money was
scarce here the gold would be held in the
form of sterling loans until the return
tide, thus saving the expense of bullion
transportation. 1t is generally under
stood that the gold was drawn by special
inducements offered by the Bank of Eng
land, in the desire to replenish its re-
serves and by Russian institutions. The
inducements are. in effect, premium on
the gold. Nevertheless, it is quite evil
dent that no widespread public interest
has yet been awakened in the stock mar
ket, such as is relied upon by operators
with large capital to relieve them at
profit of what they buy. The distrust of
new industries and the old ones, too. is
due to hesitation more than anything else.
The conviction that promoters have paid
heavy prices for the constituent members
of the combination and that most have
been heavily overestimated.
This is markedly true of the numerous
steel issues, notwithstanding unprecedent-
ed prosperous condition in that trade. In
the bond market there has been some in
crease of activity in the latter part of
the week and an improvement in prices.

CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago. June 10.-For a few minutes
around the opening wheat showed
strength. Gables were firmer than ex-
pected, and little buying when little
wheat was on the market held prices firm.
July started at 74i2M743sc. an advance of
&c over yesterdays close. Liberal re-
ceipts here and in the northwest and fav-
orable weather in the spring wheat coun-
try brought out considerable wheat, and
increased the sum of short sellers and
decline to 7isc took place, before 1G
O clock. Then the market generally grew
strong. Michigan state crop report, put
ting the condition at only a. per cent and
estimating the crop at l2.0GO 900 bushels.
compared with 81, GOO, 900 bushels last year
checked liquidation. Later more reports
of damage to Russian and Roumania
crops came in. One feature of the trad
ing. which had considerable influence on
local SPECTATORS was the heavy buying
by St. Louis. which started when the
price was well under puts and which
was kept up nearly all day. The market,
which had apparently been oversold. add
vanced rapidly during the last half hours
trading. July advanced under heavy gen
eral buying to 7512G755sc, and closed firm
at 751ac. ~ . n..
Corn was weak early, but rallied later.
July closed firm and shade higher.
Oats were steady The strength OF
wheat was apparently the chief factor.
July closed unchanged.
Provisions were dull and heavy. Pack
ers were sellers. Strength of grain had a
stoadying influence late in the session. At

Einancier'S Review.

New York. June 10.-The Financier says:
The statement of averages of the New
York clearing house banks for the week
is much better than expected. The known
movements of money for the week indi-
Gated reduction in cash of about $1,000
O00 and this coupled with the expansion
known to have been made in loans ana
deposits. seemed to forecast d heavy re-
duction in reserves The statement how
ever. shows decrease in surplus cash of
only $685.. 800 due to a loss of 81 Az, 900 in
specie and the additional requirements
origina ting in the deposit increase of 81
10000. The surplus reserve now stands al
over thirty-nine millions, which, discount
ing expected gold shipments and larger
lean commitments, is an assurance of a
continued ease in money rates.
The loan expansion Is due in part to
the revival of activity on the stock eX-
change, and the greater portion of the
gain will be made by four or five banks
Il is difficult to determine what part cur
rent gold exports plays in the totals
the averages are somewhat misleading in
this respect. There seems little likelihood.
however, that the export movement will
be checked by harder money alone. Our
remittance, it is true. has fallen off, and
domestic exchange is quoted at dis
count, as against a rather steady premium
this spring, but the July dividend period
will bring money in this direction. The
low quotations on call have suffered some
on New England borrowing in this center
and stock exchange requirements are
heavier. Still. even with this drain and
with the probability of further exports Of
specie now and the crop demands later in
the season, nobody anticipates anything
like a hard money market over the sum
mcr, and it is conceded that the available
currency supply will be augmented by
gold imports in the fall
