STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Oct 24.-Today's stock
market showed what is frequent in the
progress of professional operations in
the market for an advance, namely, the
shifting OF long accounts from one
group stocks into another by realizing
where an advance in price has already
occurred and buying into group that
has been quiescent The group select
ed for the advance today was the coal
ers. The plausible reasons for the adj
vance in the prices of these stocks were
the fact that the present years output
promises to be the largest on record,
while prices are firmly maintained at
profitable level both for the mining of
the coal and its transportation to mar
ket. The policy adopted of beginning to
advance the price of coal several
months ago brought it to the maximum
intended on september LIST. This has
had the result of keeping up the de-
mand all through the summer months
instead of throwing the requirements
for the whole winter on the period of
cold weather. but confidence is profess
ed that the business will continue large
through the winter and much was
made today of reports that only lack of
sufficient cars placed a limit upon the
anthracite and soft coal movement.
While the effort was rather obvious
to concentrate speculative attention up
on these stocks and the causes which
moved them, there was enormous real
izing proceeding in ST. Paul, Union Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and the Wander
bilts which have been advanced by the
recent manipulation. Rather less was
heard of the Northern Pacific settle
ment and the working out of extensive
additional plans in the trans continental
large outstanding short interest is an
evident factor and probably motive
for the operations for the advance. The
failure of small brokerage house, not
member of the stock exchange which
was caught short of some of the
stocks recently advanced was an indica-
ton of the distress of that element The
heavy profit taking in the Pacifics and
St. Paul was emphasized by the decid-
ed weakness of Peoples Gas on threats
Of continued hostile law suits The
stock fell an extreme points, closing
at about the lowest. There was rather
more urgent selling of the United
States Steel stocks than for some time
a fraction and was partly recovered.
Conditions in the money market were
without notable change.

quite active, but realizing in the con-

New Orleans, La, Oct. 24.-Early
Liverpool advices We're somewhat bet
ter than looked for, causing the market
to open slightly higher, hut the fine
weather existing throughout the belt
and heavy receipts as we'll as the weak
ness of spots occasioned a break of six
to seven from the top making the
net loss on the day Z points.
The temperature in the South has re-
manned stationary while predictions are
for generally fair weather for the next
"a hours, the prevalence of ideal wealth
err during the past six weeks tor the
growing crop and the absence Of killing
frost to date have added largely to the
yield Travellers and ArellaEle corre-
spondents state that the out turn will
be considerably. in excess of what was
expected i've weeks ago. These advices
have naturally had a tendency TO make
operators raise their crop estimates and
many are not so sanguine of higher val
ues being established ultimately under
the circumstances. East of the Miss
issipp river the crop has practically
matured and killing frost now would do
little damage Texas has improved
wonderfully during the past six weeks
and with frost delayed a week or ten
days more the top crop will increase
the yield considerably. Reviewing the
situation the expected reaction might
be in order yet, it is questionable
whether any decided enhancement can
be maintained with the present move
ment and large spot holdings unless
killing frost materializes soon.

COTTON.
New York, Oct. 24.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices unchanged to
2 points higher and for a moment bid
fair to do still better on rather firmer
Liverpool cables than expected. January
worked UP to 1888 on covering, light bull
support, foreign buying and some demand
from Wall street commission houses
Then big receipts, good weather reports
and claims that the crop was increasing
at the rate of $4,000 bales each day, and
that frost was held off disturbed holders
and started selling for both accounts.
Liverpool was quick to take the hint and
supplanted early buying with selling or
ders. Room longs reversed their posi-
tion on the market and commission
houses unloaded early purchases. This
pressure carried prices down to 9
points before covering started fresh up
ward movement. For the rest of the day
the market was very irregular, with
trading confined chiefly to settlements Of
long standing accounts by tired holders.
Rumors that spot offerings South were
more liberal and claims that spinners
were holding off for further declines in
speculative markets before replenishing
supplies of raw material, helped to de-
press the market in the afternoon. The
close was steady with prices net to 6
points lower.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 1S.-There is a
stro2g undercurrent of excitement at the
University Of Washington, growing out Of
remarkable events Of the past week
President Graves and the fair co-eds Of
clash, with some sensational features. A
climax was reached last Thursday even
Ing when fifty Of the girls, armed with
brOomS and d1ShpanS, paraded the campus
at the university, voicing loudly their
wrath at the president of the institution
The row originated over a fight concern
Ing the janitOrship and the condition Of
decided upon a personal investigation.
Every apartment was visited and the
wrath Of the university executive grew
apace. At that time Of the morning most
OF the girls had not swept and tidied up
their rooms. 1t is stated that they are in
the habit of taking a hurried breakfast
and rushing to their classes, many doing
their housekeeping in the afternoon or at
night. Consequently the majority Of the
rooms were in all stages, of disorder.
President Graves completed his tour and
then left with an ominous frown. That
night an indignation meeting was held.
President Graves, hearing of this meeting,
determined to be present. 1t was scant
courtesy that he received, however. No
to stand while the young ladies, led by
Miss Gardiner and Miss Dodson, two up
per class women, showered upon him
wrathful statements and told him in plain
words what they thought.
1t is said that at the meeting of the
Board of Regents Thursday last the presi-
dent reported that the authorities in

KANSAS CITY, NO., Nov. 1S-A1 Coro-
ner's jury in the case Of Mrs. Vera Ger
trude West of Aqua Caliente, Arizona,
who was killed in room in the Phoenix
Hotel last Friday night, brought in a YER
dict this afternoon that she came to her
death by a pistol shot fired by her own
hand. Frank D. Quigley, who was with
her at the time, was exonerated from any
criminal connection with the affair
From the first there were suspicious cir
cumstances connected with the shooting
From notes found i'll the room and from
Quigleys own statement the two had
agreed to die together. Quigley said he
was to fall asleep. while she was to put a
bullet through his brain and then end her
own life. She carried out the agreement
only to the extent of killing herself. Af-
ter the shooting it was found that the re-
Volver contained but one cartridge.
Quigley was the first witness He told
of his first meeting with Mrs. West last
September, after she left her husband. He
said that with the exception Of few days
he had been with Mrs. West every day
since. He told of their frequent carouSals
and Of her dependency at times She
wanted to change her life and he agreed
to help her. He gave her money and en-
gagged rooms fer her at 1929 Washington
street. She talked much of suicide and
made several attempts, one of which he
prevented. Relating what occurred in the
Phoenix Hotel, Quigley said:
Il suggested that We each commit sui
eide. Then said 1 wasn't strong enough
to do it..
+" Would you let me kill your she asked
me. l said [ would.

the notes. l lay down on a bed, closed my
eyes and finally fell asleep, expecting
never to awaken. l was aroused by a
shot, raised up and saw her lying there
r dead. She had carried out only a part OF
the agreement
