WILCOX VERDICT A SURPRISE.
Young Man Found Guilty of First De
gree Murder.

Elizabeth City, N. c., March 24,-
The verdict that young Wilcox was
guilty Of murder in the first degree
for the killing of Miss Cropsey seems
to have met with popular approval,
though it was not considered proba-
BILE early Saturday that the jury would
so report District Attorney Ward
said Saturday he never looked for any
verdict other than murder in the sec
ond degree.
Lawyer Aydlett, for the defense,
will enter an appeal on behalf of the
prisoner. He will seek to set aside
the verdict on the ground that it was
not consistent with the evidence
brought out in the trial There is 1T
tie prospect of the prisoner paying
the death penalty on the date set by
Judge Jones. AS the supreme court
docs not meet till next September, it
is more thar probable that it will be
several months before the case is dis
posed of finally.

NERVOUS DAY IN GRAINS
SMALL STOCKS, POOR GRADING AND
FEAR OF MANIPULATION.
These Factors Result in Higher Prices
for All the CereaIs-HOg Products
Are Also Up, Led by Lard.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-Grain trade was rest
less and nervous to-day The unsettled
weather and poor grading of all grains, to-
gether with diminishing contract stocks,
started a brisk early support. AS usual,
manipulation caused a setback, but excel
lent cash and seaboard business brought a
rally in wheat and other grains advanced
sympathetically. AT the close September
wheat was 1d1hc up, corn 2sq1ac higher
and oats 4sQ%c higher. Provisions closed
212c to zoe higher.
Strong Northwestern markets had much
to do with the upturn in wheat. Rains in
Manitoba and the Northwest made shorts
nervous over the spring harvest situation.
There also was fear of the manipulation
and at the start there was a good squirt
September opened A@9sc to 2sG7sc up, at
$3.50 to $3.50, and sold to roc. The early de-
mand soon fell off and trade grew some
what dull. Bulls, however, soon started up
the argument of very little contract wheat
and extremely low grading. Receipts,
Northwestern and primary, were lighter
than year ago good cash business
sprang up and the seaboard reported TWEEN
ty-four loads taken for export CIearances
at the seaboard equaled sol 900 bu in wheat
and -four. or 1,229,OOo bu in two days. This
started a late reaction and September,
which had dipped to 914G69Ssc on the lag
ging trade, closed strong, 1611sc up, at 7O1sc
Gables were firm. Long holders let go on
the bulge. Local receipts were 470 cars
three of contract grade; Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 102 cars, a total of 572
against CD last week and 500 a year ago
Primary receipts were 1.O67, 900 blu, against
1,15S 900 last year.
Corn started strong on the weather and
the wheat advance. Trade, however. was
inclined toward dullness. Any little de-
mand caused upturns because of the big
short interest in September and the light
receipts. Stocks here decreased, and the
visible supply was lower by over 1OOOO 900
bushels. Cables were firm, but the cash
demand was light. September sold between
5lssc and SIC and closed firm. 2sG1kc up at
517s652c. Receipts were 46 cars I of
contract grade.
Oats had fallen off in supply here until
to-day contract stocks were only 115OOO
bushels. Receipts We're good at $50 cars
but contract grading was retarded by the
weather to such extent that scattered
buying resulted and prices advanced. Of
ferings were light and the market ruled
strong September sold from 321kc TO 32alc
and closed ssGa4c up, at 321sc.
Provisions were dull but firm. Hogs were
higher, and there was a fair support A
good demand in lard at times helped the
rest of the list. September pork closed
NC up, at $16O21z; lard zoe higher, at s1O.45,
and ribs 21zc up, at $9.6712.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat. 29O cars; corn, 10; oats. AS; hogs,
$1,000 head
