WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Prices Slightly Advanced. Notably In Irsa
Raw Cotton and 10 Lesser Degree

New York, Nov. 24.-Bradstreet's
says: Unsettled weather conditions

indirectly associated herewith. Stock
speculation, too, has been less ram.
pant, and last weeks record of bank
clearings has, therefore, not been
equaled. There is, however, little or
no apparent loss of basic strength,
and, indeed, the general level of staple
prices has been slightly advanced.
This latter movement is most notable
in the iron and steel trades, in raw
cotton and to lesser degree in the
cereals and some hog products.
The strength of primary markets
and light receipts, actual and pre-
dicted, have been the basis of the adj
vance of three-eights of a cent shown
in spot cotton this week. Cotton
growers have evidently been holding
back, and some still talk of ten cents
as a minimum, but receipts show a
slight gain toward the close of the
week.
Rather more strength has been ex-
hibited by cereals. Cash wheat is
slightly higher, partly on the belief
that some real damage has been in
flicted In Argentina, but mainly be-
cause the supply suitable for export
is really limited at the seaboard. Corn
receipts have been of generally low
grade and the November option has
been cornered at Chicago. Better
weather is looked for to improve both
the volume and quality of receipts,
and In the meantime visible stocks
are well down to minimum.

MAY REVIVE HANGING.
Gov. Stanley Digging Into Criminal statis-
tics and Considering Capital Punish
ment for Kansas Murderers.

Topeka, Kan, Nov 26.-Gov. Stanley
is now making Investigations which
may cause him to believe that capital
punishment should be made effective
in Kansas. The law is now dead let
ter. Should the research which the
governor is now making sustain that
which has already been made he will
ask the legislature to frame a law
restoring capital punishment. The old
law in Kansas prescribed death by
hanging, but this was made inopera-
tive by a provision which gave govern
ors the option of signing death war
rant or permitting the convict to serve
life term. No Kansas governor has
cared to take the first step in this
matter, consequently there are about
80 men under death sentences in the
state prison. Various persons have at
times started agitation in favor of
hanging those criminals who are
guilty of capital offenses, but the sub
ject has always been dropped after
brief discussions.
Without consulting "any other pow
err" Gov. Stanley has taken the mat
ter up and is now digging into Grim
inal statistics from various states to
ascertain the result Of the operation
of capial punishment laws. Mr.. STAN
ley says: "lf find that in the state
where capital punishment is inflicted
mob violence is more frequent than in
states where capital punishment does
not exist ! will not recommend the
inhiction of the death penalty.
On the other hand If | find that capt.
tai punishment has prevented mobs
from taking matters into their own
hands will recommend its restora-
ton in Kansas

While no lives are reported lost, the

The Licking river in Kentucky is very
