Beans and Seeds.

Beans are firm and kinds are quoted
higher The advance is largely fictitious and
temporary and wholly Independent of the
weather, being due to the filling of line of
October shorts which must be settled by to-
day; This condition is expected to give the
market a firmer tone for days to come
1ntrinsically. however, the market is weak. as
the crop is large and the Michigan output is
heavy and of fine quality.

FLATTERING CONDITIONS LEAD TO SEW
ERAL MARKED ADVANCES.
Although trading Yas Of moderate volume on
the morning session o. the Bond Exchange the
feeling was firm all along the line, and several
stocks advanced, owing to the fine condition
of the companies. Alaska Packers sold up to
S147 30, quite a sharp rise, and further advances
are reported not unlikely. 1t is said that the
Pacific Packing and Navigation Company,
which some months ago tfiedsto buy out all the
salmon concerns the coast, and which did
succeed in getting most of them, with the prom
inent exception of Alaska Packers, is about to
reopen negotiations with this company with
the view to purchase, and that 1t is prepared
to offer more inducements than before Again.
the company has had very prosperous year
An additional source of strength is the report
that the insiders have been quietly buying up
stray lots of stock for some time. Under these
natterlng conditions an advance in the stock is
only natural.
Another stock to advance under fine conditions
was Giant Powder, which sold up to SS5. 1t
will be remembered that a couple of weeks ago
the stock advanced in consequence of a rise in
the price OF powder in what is called the neu-
trail zone, and now another rise is contemplated
in other sections These appreciations in pow
der naturally increase the income the COM
pany and give the shares an upward turn
California Wine was still another stock to
rise, selling up to $50. The selling desire on the
part Of director two is said to be salts
ned. especially as the stock has been absorbed
The sugar stocks were steady to firm and Ho-
nokaa sold I'D to $12
The only change the Oil Exchange was an
advance In Junction to 24c, under sales of 1900
1o3. The other stocks quiet
The feeling in local stocks continued firm in
the afternoon. Giant Powder advanced to
$S5 So Spring Valley Water to sS7 so and Gas
and Electric to $44 s71a. Honokaa continued
strong, selling at s12 1211.

At meeting of the Oahu Sugar Company
October 21, in Honolulu, the monthly dividend
was reduced from 81 per month to 80 cents 1t
is said this action was taken on account of the
excessive cost of preparing for the new crop
and expenditures for labor The stock is now
quoted $120.

DIES IN HOSPITAL
FRANK CoNROY, A MINER, PASSES
AWAY SUDDENLY.
INJURED BY FALLING ORE
Accident Not Considered Serious Until
This Morning, When Death
Quickly Claimed the I'm
fortunate Man.

| After suffering for three days from
what We're supposed to be injuries OF
no serious character, Frank Conroy, "a
years old, and who was employed as a
MINER died at st. James hospital shortly
after 2 o'clock this morning.
The body is now at Duggan's UNDER
taking establishment, where an inquest
has been ordered by Coroner Johnson
for O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.
The jury which will inquire into the
circumstances of the death of Conroy
was sworn in over the body this after
| noon.
Conroy was employed at the Anaconda
mine. He was at work Friday night on
the fifth floor Of the 16OO-foot level with
companions.
Side Wall Falls.
While stopping there side wall fell
in and Conroy was buried beneath the
falling ore. He was dug out after some
difticulty and sent to the hospital.
At the hospital an examination was
made, with the result that it is said his
Injuries were diagnosed as nothing more
serious than broken leg and few body
bruises.
The patient was placed in ward, and
it was thought his recovery would be d
question of few weeks.
Alarming symptoms developed how
ever, and last night it was said Conroy
was in a precarious condition. Accord
ing to the physicians, the miner had been
internally injured.
Dies a. Early Hour.
Everything possible was done for the
man. but despite the best OF medical
care he sank rapidly, and shortly after
2 o'clock this morning died.
Coroner johnson was at once notified
and gave permission for the removal of
the body to the undertaker's.
After learning the circumstances Of
the death Of -Conroy and the accident
which resulted in the injuries which
caused death, Coroner johnson decided
that an inquest was necessary.
The Inquest would have been held this
afternoon, but as the men who witnessed
the accident work on night Shift it was
impossible to subpoena them in time.
The inquest was therefore POSTPONED
until tomorrow.
.Conroy was unmarried and lived at
500 East Broadway alley. He had many
friends, was popular and was regarded
as an industrious, deserving fellow.
Funeral arrangements have not been
completed.

schools would be very largely benefited.
THE best results of institute and sum-
mer school work can only be obtained
I through long a session-that is sessions
of five or six weeks in length. It is alb
surd to think that q teacher can derive
any lasting benefit from three-day in
Stitute.
There are many arguments IN favor
Of holding summer schools during the
vacation time One of the chief points in
favor Of the plan is that the IDEAS Sc
cured during the institute can be put
into practice in the school room at the
opening Of the fall term of school.
There are 1000 teachers in Montana,
and Of this number many go to Chi
cago and other places to attend summer
normals to perfect themselves in GER
tain branches of work in which they
are most interested. There Is 10 rea-
son in the world why we should rot hold
these schools right here in Montana.
THE Montana summer climate is ideal
and teachers could do excellent work.
The state is large enough to give all
change Of scene. Eastern Montana
teachers could so to Missoula, and West
Side teachers could attend the summer
school sessions In Eastern Montana.
Nearly every state in the union makes
liberal appropriation for summer school
work, and l believe the next Legislature
will make possible system of summer
schools"
