John L. Burns, the sheep man from
Cody. Wyo.. is in town on business. He
says the only fault with the winter so
far is the lack of snow for water for the
sheep. They feed on salt sage and ha We
to drive to the river or creek for water
and they drink too much and do not do
AS well as on snow. He says he bought
100 tons of hay last fall and now has no
use for it and can find no sale for it.

During the next half hour prices steadily improvea on general buying. January selling at 762 be- fore this demand fell of But toward mid day profit taking by scalpers and falling on in outside buying allowed the market to sag back toward the opening prices and at noon the market tended toward weakness in the ap- sence of speculation.

Confident of Conviction.

Barnstable, Mass, Oct. 30.-Miss Jane Toppan, who was arrested today at Ann herst, N H., on suspicion of being con nected with the alleged murder of Mrs Mary Gibbs at Cataumet, was brought here this afternoon. She was taken to the local jail and will be arraigned to- morrow morning.
 Mrs Gibbs's husband. Captain Irving F. Gibbs, who is captain of the coasting schooner Golden Pail, was away on that vessel at the time of his wife's death. On learning of it, at a coast post, he inn mediately returned home, and although there had been up to that time no sus- picion of foul play, Captain Gibbs believ- ed that there should be an investigation, and placed the matter in the hands of District Attorney Holmes The bodies of Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. Gibbs were ex- humed and the stomachs were sent to Professor Wood of Harvard University. and as a result of his examination, Miss Toppan was arrested on suspicion of hav- ing poisoned the four members of the Gibbs family. The police assert that they have sufficient evidence to convict Miss Toppan. although they will not dis close any of it.

 NEW ORLEANS, Oct 3o.-Liverpool Is m, clined to behave a little better now, put American markets have in turn become unruly Spot dealers have set the pace. and very stubborn one at that. all statistical calcu- lations have been relegated to the background and investors are more absorbed in the idea or uouidating than rendering fresh support to the situation The English market actuaiy recorded slight improvement in dehverles today and private cables conveyed the infor- nation that a short interest had been accumu, lated intimatng that sharp advance; would follow any encouraging developments, put on this side the heavy movement loomed up too conspicuously before the gaze of traders ana a general desire to sell resulted. forcing prices steadily downward Closing quotations are about points under yesterday.
 So long as the country shows an oostlnate determination to force sales of spots without the semblance of a reasonable trade demand at hand 1t is quite illogical to expect suostan- tiaI improvement in the market.

WALL STREET REVIEW DECLINE IN THE VOLUME OF
 DEALINGS. Nearly All Business Done Was Con gested in Few Stocks in Which There Was Rather ob-
 vious Manipulation.

NEW YORK. Oct. 3o.-The volume of deal ings fell of still further today and were again congested in few stocks in wnicn .nere srn,a was tion was for the advance. but its erect was confined to the leading active stocks so Tar Iar as any notable results were concerned. me general list was sluggish and hesitating ana fuctuated narrowly throughout. The codieIs were taken in hand for an upward ,, hog based on the reports of very heavy demand anu traffic only limited by the car supply or the .ne while prices are firmly malhtalheu at the maximum of recent years,~ The nlgn- priced members of the group gained from Z$ to points and those selling under par rose about a point St. Paul resumed it's recent show of strength and was followed as usual by the Pacific statistics to the extent ot pe demonstration in the Vanderbilts today, but it's influence did not extend very effectuaily outside of that group Amaigamated copper continued active and somewhat irregular above
 yesterdays level, yet unconnrmeo runiors circulated of the possible incorporation of Calumet and Hecla The National Lead stocks were strong prospects Of improved uade conditions. and Manhattan and Sugar also beIped out the show of strength. The determl- nation to take a cheerful view of the gold ex-
 port movement, which was increased today to a total of S2 .S50, 600, was apparently based on the idea that the relief afforded to the foreign situation would be reflected back on this market, Inere IS s'iI s9me ho cbected after tomorrow's shipments. This feeling Will pc emphasized if the Bank of England maintains lis discount rate unchanged tomorrow as now seems possible judging from the freedom with which the bank discounted today at the cur rent rate The favorable subscription an nounced yesterday for New York city bonds are taken as reassuring regarding money mar ket conditions and the release Of NOV, lst dis
 bursements including Government interest. is looked to to tide over next week. Some cur rency is returning from the West and the transfers to the South have diminished. Re- ceipts of gold from the Pacific Coast through the ub-treasury have served to tighten the drain of that institution upon the money mar ket With surplus reserves at figure well above that of last year and year before anxiety over the money market outlook tends to relax and the sentiment is expressed that the gold exports can well be spared After a very irregular movement the market closed firm in the neighborhood of the best prices.
 Railroad bonds were only moderately active and show irregular changes. Total sales, par value S2 66o OOO United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.
