which the valet claimed Patrick killed
Rice and which he mas since denied
The reader hestated and stumbled over
the written words. Suddenly Patrick
spoke up, excitedly, Here, I guess
can make 1t out. I can read It," This
was agreed to and in loud, clear voice
he read;
Patrick got a towel and sponge and
saturated the sponge with a colorles:
liquid he had in a bottle Then he went
into the room where Rice lay in bed
I, Jones, was not in the room but open

a eone-shaped towel in his hand, an(

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Stocks Closed Weak-COttOn Also
LOwer-Grain Quiet.

LoWer-Grain Quiet.
Early in the week. in fact until Fri
day, the stock market was firm to
strong on the hopeful reports concern
ing President McKinley's condition.
The sudden and totally unexpected
change for the worse on Friday morn
ing, however, at once threw the market
into feverish weakness, and prices
slumped sharply with marked increase
in activity. Earlier advances were all
lost, and prices generally are material
ly lower tina ma week ago. The effect
of the Presidents lamented passing
away remains to be yet seen, as all the
exchanges were closed on Saturday as
a testimony of mourning and respect.
Otherwise the news was not bullish, as
the bank statement was again unfavor
able.
Undoubtedly, a good deal of nervous
ness exists over the situation, but it is
at least hoped that nothing like demon
alization will ensue. Indeed, there real
ly seems absolutely no reason whatever
for anything of the kind, as President
Roosevelt surely possesses the conf
dence of the people sufficiently to af-
ford assurance that the helm will be
perfectly safe in his hands, and that
the government will go on as before.
Cotton was weak and declined some
80 points; January closed on Friday at
7.44c. Weather has been favorable for
picking, and reports are better from
some sections, especially this section;
but from Texas they are quite as bad
as ever. The movement continues light
outside of Texas, and barring external
unfavorable influences. 1t looks as
though the market ought soon to take
a stronger turn. AS yet it does not
appear that the prospect is Tor a crop
larger than last years.
Grain markets are very quiet, and
closing prices are only about Ac lower
than last week for both wheat ana
corn, December wheat, 70Ac; corn, BIC.
The bureau report puts the corn con-
dition at Sit, 81 points below the Sep
TENDER average. Wheat, botn winter
and spring, was given at S2.S, 212 points
above the average figures. This was
lower than expected for both, but the
STRENGTHENING effect was very snort
lieved. However, they furnish foun-
dalton of strength to the market. me
wheat crop figures out only about 6SO'-
600. 900 bushels, instead of 750, 100000 an
ticipated two months ago. The leading
authority. the Hungarian minister, cal
cuIates the worlds import requirements
as considerably in excess of the eX-
portable supplies. Wheat is the cheap
est commodity in the world, ana the
most indispensable. A higher range Tor
the future seems almost inevitable
