CHICAGO, April 25.-Good rains

Again Marked Up.

thousand bales were rendered on May no.

phia spot interests. and were promptly ac-
cepted, mostly by Greeks. This prompt
stopping of the notices, together With
another sharp rise in Liverpool, rising
spot markets at the South, stimulating
Manchester advices, and heavy buying by
commission houses for Southern and
Western account, as well as some buying
by Europe, all conspired to give cotton a
very strong tone today, and it advanced
easily.
The weather in Western Texas is dry,
and rain is believed to be needed there
The insight figures for the week were 5000
to 5000 bales more than some had ex-
pected, but very little attention was paid
to this fact. The trading was very heavy,
both here and in New Orleans, where the
May notices were also promptly taken
care of.
The market closed firm, with quotations
to 25 points higher, as compared with
yesterdays closing prices.

In the Railway List.

In the railway list, the more extensive

the railway specialties extensive ad-

oils and Louisville and New York. New

further advance on very large transac-

Strength in Steel.

The Steel stocks were particularly
strong and active in todays markets, be-
ing further favorably Influenced by author
itative statements that the earnings OF
the corporation for the month of April
were estimated at 81, SOC, 600, an increase
of 81, zoe, 600 over the same period of last
year. The fat denial by Mr.. Andrew Car
negic OF some recently published animad-
versions upon the policy Of the United
States Steel Corporation, attributed to
him. was also received with satisfaction.
While there was nothing authoritative
to be learned on the subject, it was the
general opinion that an amicable settle
ment had virtually been reached on all
points at issue between the United Mine
workers and anthracite coal operators,
and II was expected that formal announce
ment TO that effect would be made after
tomorrow's conference Of the National
Civic Federation.
The market was exceedingly active dur
ing the forenoon, but with the course of
the day there was some decrease in ami
nation along with the noted development
OF greater irregularity in the movement
of prices The trading was well diversi-
fed. however, throughout the business
session, all quarters Of the market re-
ceivfng fair amount of attention.

London Buys Heavily.

Lcndon also exerted a strong influence
on the constructive side of the market.
American stocks being shown at substan-
tial advances at that point, while the deal
ings here for foreign account were excep-
tionally heavy, and resulted on balance in
the purchase of between $4,000 and 10000
shares of stocks. Partly in consequence
thereof, the foreign exchange market was
a shade easier, and furthermore showed
less than the expected demand at the close
of the week.
Another circumstance that was particu-
larly and generally helpful to the stock
markets stability was the issuance OF
the circular of the management of the
Steel Corporation to the stockholders OF
that concern setting forth the details and
explanations of the readjustment of the
company's financial affairs.

Trading Well Diversified - Rapid
Transit Feature.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Today's situa-
tion was favorable to the bull side Of
the speculative argument. and inasmuch
as there was a renewal on a large scale
of manipulation on that side of the ac-
count IL was natural that the general
tendency Of prices should have been
toward a higher level, as, indeed. they
were, although in the afternoon dealings
a great deal of irregularity of movement
appeared.
Encouraging Advices.
The advices from the winter wheat belt
were more distinctly encouraging than
they have been all the week, and for the
time being, at all events. there is appar-
entity no further occasion for uneasiness.
Heavy general rains were reported in
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and in other
quarters Of the winter wheat belt. and
from Wall Streets viewpoint this intel
ligence was confirmed by the reactionary
course of the grain market.
In addition TO this encouraging develop
ment the money market showed ma
ter;al relaxation, and the preliminary es-
Inmates of the weeks movements in
money indicated that the banks have
gained over s4,000,0oo on balance since
the compilation of the figures of last
Saturdays bank statement. Only about
25 per cent of this gain resulted from
the operations between the banks and the
subtreasury, and inasmuch as last week S
statement did not fully reflect the known
accessions of cash up to that time, par
ficf,1arly favorable cancellations were en-
tertained in regard to tomorrow's state

TRoUsERED WOMEN.

Petersburg's sensation of two wo-
men living together for thirty-five
years and posing before the public
as man and wife, and easily deceiv-
ing everybody, Is not the only such
case on record. In all ages and
elimes there have been instances of
women's masquerading as men and
deceiving the public until death re-
vealed their secret.
During "tbe civil war; woman
rose to the rank of lieutenant in the
Confederate army; in cavalry regi-
ment If We mistake not. After see-
ing considerable field service and
displaying some gallantry in action,
her secret was discovered. Possibly
it came about by her being wounded
in battle. Somehow she became q
prisoner in the military prison known
as "Castle Thunder" She was 8
Cuban by birth, and, as we remem-
ber, belonged to one of the commands
from far Southern State. The case
is recorded in some Of the books on
the war. and was written up in the
Dispatch about ten years ago.

KITCHENER SUNK 100000
Dumped Two Boxes OF Gold Into the
Nile Without Knowing II.

Once without knowing it Lord
Kitchener threw away a2O, 900. II
was when the British troops evacu-
ated Shendy, on the Nile, after the
fall of Khartoum, in 1885. Large
quantities of stores and provisions
wereordered to be destroyed because of
want OF means for transporting them.
Among other things were 1000, 900
rounds of various sorts of ammuni-
ton, all of which was to be thrown
into the river Nile. To Kitchener
fell the duty of seeing these orders
carried out, and accordingly he had
every case taken out by boats and
dropped into the middle of the river.
After it was all over and the troops
were we'll on their way down stream
again it was discovered that among
the cases of ammunition were two
large cases filed, not with proiectiles
or cartridges, but with real golden
English sovereigns-I0,OOO in each
case. No attempt has yet been made
to recover this sunken treasure, which
is by this time doubtless buried be-
yond resurrection in the mud of
the Nile.

GAM BILE ON KINGS LIFE

The insurance that was taken out
by Londoners to guard against losses
should the coronation not take place
is considered gambling, pure and
simple, by insurance men. One of
the leading men Of this profession
says that it is similar to the marine
insurance taken out on saips at sea
and overdue. "They have no basis
for a scientific estimate of the
chances" he said. sand, therefore, il
is not legitimate insurance, it is
gambling. There is the closest kind
of figuring on every insurance risk
except where the company is of the
gambling kind, as they have in Lon
don in this case. Still, it is not sur.
prising that insurance against loss
by the coronation not taking place
was taken by certain companies.
"There was one case of an overdue
ship being insured when it was over.
due 200 days. The charge was 81
per cent of the insurance issued
That was pretty close. In the bis
cities they even have rental insur
,ance, the man owning big tene
