LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE

Hardened After "a Weak Opening.
LONDON, Nov. 17.-There was less
pressure for money today and the bor-
rowings from banks eased the discount.
Business on the Stock Exchange was
generally good. Home rails were in de-
mand. Southwestern advanced on the
rumor of proposal to construct a tun-
mel to the Isle of Wight. Foreigners
were dull. Spanish and Portuguese de-
cided. The attack on Emperor William
yesterday attracted little attention.
Americans opened strong, some 81
above parity, reacted slightly and
rehardened on heavy purchases, mostly
for New York account. Most of the
support, apparently, was for Atchisons,
Baltimores, Union Pacifics, common and
preferred, and Louisvilles, though all
were active and closed steady. Grand
Trunks were offered, the decrease in
traffic receipts largely exceeding expec-
tations. Anacondas have risen, in re-
Spouse to New York.

They Are Charged With the Murder
of William Brown.


YoRKvIILE, S. O., Nov. 1.-THE trial
of Paul r. and John S. Bratton, broth
ers, charged with murder, is ON
here. The defendants are charged with
having murdered William Brown of
Rock Hill in his bed. It has been proven
that on the night of Sept 13 the broth.
ers drove from Yorkville to Rock Hill,
and that one of them went into Browns
house and fired two bullets into his body
while he was being aroused by his
father-in-law.
Since the killing of Captain Dawson,
editor of The News and Courier, no
criminal case has attracted such general
interest in the state. The Bratton fam.
lily connection is unusually large and In
huential, and the branch to which these
young men belong has occupied PROM
inent place in South Carolina since tie
