CARRIED HEAVY INSURANCE.
R. c. whayne of Louisville Had
 $34O,OOO in Various Companies.

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 1S.-It developed today that R. c. Whayne, a Louisville business man, who was found dead last night in the vicinity of Jacob Park, with a gunshot wound in the breast, carried insurance on his life of $34O.0O0 and had application pending for $6O,OOO more. The policies were distributed as follows: Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, 500 900: Providence Savings Life As surance Society of New York, $12O,00O Union Central Life, $10,00O; New York Life, $5, 900; Northwestern Mutual Life, S, 900.
 MT. Whayne had applied for policy of S25,0 900 with the Manhattan Company and the policy was to issue December g. Another application had been made to the Mutual of Vermont for an equal amount and this policy vas to be dated Decsm- Der "A.
 It was upon the fact that MT. Whayne carried such a large life insurance and was said to be suffering from rheuma- tism that a theory of suicide is based.
 Coroner Kelley went to the scene of the stances were such that the case would re- qutre exhaustive investigation. The in- quest will be held Saturday.
 Near Mir. Whayne's body when found but on the opposite side of wire fence, was a shot gun with one barrel empty and the other loaded and cooked. His friends and family declare that death was due to an accident; and that the gun was discharged while he was climbing through the fence.

WALL STREET REVIEW
FEAR OVER VENEZUELAN
 SITUATION IS APPARENT.
The Developments in South America
 Have Been Responsible for the
 Expected Recovery in Values .... to Materialize.

NEW YORK. Dec. is.-Mcasured by to- days advance in prices the situation in Vene- than was expected in Wall Street. The de. pressing effect of this influence has served to hold back the market from the natural @ by the bankers pool on Monday to insure the money market from any violent crisis. The ating influence in the decline of stocks. and the assurance of protection from it would have caused violent recovery in natural course of things. The fear of . complication with the powers concerned in the Venezuelan trouble was to have been the factor in defe1r- down to their ofrices this morning. after hay ing read in the morning papers the news that the Venezuelan president had abandoned the situation to the demands of Great Britain they jumped to the conclusion tha tall danger of complications was thereby relieved. There was an upward jump in prices at the start and , the dency till past midday. The demand after that showed signs of satisfaction, but in the last and a final rush of prices to the top level of the day with a strong close. The room traders were scalping great deal of the portion of the first hour and sold considerably on the way up. Sentiment regarding the money outlook has steadily grown more confident The moral effect of the formation of the bankers pool has been supplemented by actual favorable de- velopments. The banks have been released from much of the sub treasury drain which has It is the general supposition also that heavy sums have been received from the interior. The deposit today TOT trans1er 10 Cn1cago of { DO. GOO Is something of anomaly in view of the 35 per cent. premium on New York ex- change at Chicago. The breaking down of December corn at Chicago is regarded with appreciation in Wall Street. as it Is expected to keep down the export movement of corn The time money market showed increasing ease today and rates for six months were shaded from per cent. Even for the shorter periods larger amounts were offered. Today s Bank of England statement did not make a strong showing and the advance in the Bank of Bengars rate which was made today Is sometimes preliminary to an advance in the Bank of England's rate. Sterling exchange here continued heavy and advanced so that no immediate imports of gold is felt. Heavier receipts of cotton and movements of grain were encouraging features. Poor operations were responsible for a good deal of strength shown in some of the market leaders today and there is reason to show that very large short interest was covered up today St. Paul Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific and the United States Steel stocks were conspicuous features of the speculation. but there was 8 long list of securities in which gains ranged from to 3 points.
 The bond market was active and strong To. tai sales fpar value, S3.39o. 900. United States bonds all unchanged on the last call.

Philadelphia Concern Having Large Shipping and Export Connections
 Leads a Selling Movement. Market Has Weak | Undertone.

NEW YORK, Dec. ls.-The cotton market opened quiet and unchanged to an advance of points, for a time ruled steadier. gaining an- other point some of the active posi- tions, but then selling of to a level 4G7 points under the previous figures, on which basis the market closed quiet and steady. The easier ruling of. the market was largely due to an increase in port receipts which were 40. Soe bales. against .743 bales last week. and 35.- 932 last year while considerably larger, also than the movement during the corresponding week for four previous years. And while re- ceipts were expanding, exports failed ma terialize to the predicted extent being 23.- sstR3 bales, which brings the amount for the seAson up to 3047, 57i bales. against g. i0I,- 675 last year for the corresponding period. To make claims maintained at the beginning of the month good, cearances should now be upon record scale. The disappointment in this respect was factor in the selling move- ment which caused today's decline, in connec- tion with moderate inquiry from exporters and spinners for spot cotton in the South. while the New York market declined points for spot cotton. The. selling today was led by a Philadelphia concern having large shipping and export connections and large local fol- lowing. which also sold. but to a more moder- ate extent as the local contingent regard the market small one and endeayor to keep fin trim for a quick change of front from either one side or the other, at best leaving 1t small market with a weak undertone.

market opened unchanged. subsequently, de clined { points in the face of light receipts ow- ing to the easier feeling and restricted de- mand for spots. Near the close fresh buying stsadied up values slightly making the net loss 3G4 points on the day. The amount to be brought into sight for the week points io about $40, 900 as compared to 900 last year. therefore, as the amount marketed will approximately be Se. GOO less than last year. and the increase visible supply of American last year during the week was i6l 900, the increase this year will naturally be propor- tionately less. Consequently from all indica- tions the weekly statistics to be issued tomor- row will be bullish. Parties who have just returned from the interior of Louisiana, Ar kansas and Mississippi report that there are large quantities of cotton in the fields to be picked as the top crop natures in these States adding largely to the yield The recent heavy rains. though. have retired picking and mar keting of cotton and 1t will be some time be- fore the roads become sufficiently passable to allow farmers to begin hauling. Spinners and exporters continue apathetic but sentiment is extremely bullish the theory that the light movement is indicative of a smaller crop than generally anticipated. Latest advices from New York in regard to dry goods report 10 per cent. reduction in prices. and even at these concessions buyers are not operating freely. Summing up the situation. 1t looks as if values will be maintained until receipts show signs of increasing.

 IBy Private wirs.l

NEW YORK. Dec. ie.-Unimportant changes were shown in early cotton market. The vol tune of business was small. but sellers were apparently disposed to pursue more con servative course since receipts continue so small. There is little in way of actual news coming in and the little that there is Is sim ply confirmatory of the claims of the bull fac tion The long continued rains especially in Texas have undoubtedly wiped out what chances existed for a top crop and the in- stances where cotton is still coming in are simply exceptional. Unless the movement picks up sharply by the year. even mod crate estimates will have to be reduced. that is, where anything the ten three-quarter million is still considered safe. On the whole, everything favors the long side since the vene- zuela question no longer appears serious and we are sure to have a bulish report from the ginners on Jan. 9th. It is also believed that spot cotton of suitable. grades are becoming quite scarce and that the spinning fraternity must wheel into line and buy freely when they perceive that the chances of a bumper crop are being daily reduced. The market eased off on foreign selling during the early ses- sion The weather was clear in the South. Receipts at ports estimated at 43. 900. against 36.ooo last year.

IRN Special Leased Wire
 NEW ORLEANS, Dec l8-Liverpool took an adverse turn today and recorded a decline of about 4 points in deliveries. for which there was explanation aside from the probable expectation of a freer movement in the South. with the return of good weather. Spots were marked off 2 points. but this recession at tracted good demand and sales amounted to i2. 900 bales. There was>a pronounced ten dency toward quetness here and some long liquidation was accomplished in a moderate way. Bears tried to take advantage of this op- portunity to depress prices, which only drew forth more determined support from the lead ing bulls and held the market steady notwith- erpool suggested easier tone. It appears that around the prevailing level of prices outside traders are inclined to remain quiet especially with the nearer approach of holidays. but it is doubtful if this quietness could be enforced if decline established that presented an opportunity to buy cheaper sentiment tinues unquestionably favorable though action Is deferred until the extent of the movement with clecr weather can be observed Mean while locaN bulls display no lack of confidence in the situation and they have bought with free hand lately, the offerings having come principally from those who anticipate an early decided increase in receipts convinced beyond argument that the crop is monstrous fin size, Under such circumstances patience is required to see what the future holds In store
