NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
Weather and Crop News Favorable, But
Not Uniformly So.

NEW YORK. July 23.-Cotton rallied
slightly from the decline on Tuesday,
owing to an unexpected advance of three
to six American points in Liverpool,
where a decline of fully that much had
been expected, a relief from the July
pressure so noticeable on Tuesday There
was some local covering, and finally i'm
portant buying of October and later
months by Liverpool and the Continent.
1t turns out that the July notices
amounted to 80 600 bales. of which some
$4,000 bales were stopped largely by peo-
pie other than those who issued them.
and to no small extent, it is understood,
by houses representing Liverpool inter-
ests. Abilene, Tex, had a rainfall of 2.3i
inches.
The weather and crop news was gener-
ally favorable, but not uniformly so.
Reports complain of the shedding and
q good many others Of blooming to the
ton
The market closed steady, with quota
tions l lower to higher as compared
with yesterdays closing prices.

JULY OATS GO UP.
Touch 67c, Highest Price in Years, on
Chicago Exchange.

CHICAGO, July 23.-Standard July oats
touched the highest point in thirty years
on change today. and closed at &C, ex-
actly on par with the July corn price.
This is distinctly novel situation.
Today's advance in July oats was only
cent, and most Of the day it was lower
on talk of the heavy consignments OF
oats headed this way.
Toward the close. however. reports of
showers in the West and a visible and
tangible example in the way OF a heavy
local rain brought enough shorts to
cover to cause reaction from 1kc be-
low to 1c over the previous close. Of
ferings in the pit are very light.

BIG NEBRASKA WHEAT CROP.
Corn, Too, in Fine Condition and Prom
ises Record Yield.

OMAHA, Neb., July 23.-Ten days of
warm weather has wonderfully improved
Nebraskas corn crop. and from all in
dications the yield will be the largest
in the history of the State. Wheat
is well under way and large
yields are reported. Many sections
which usually produce twenty-five bush
els per acre are reporting forty to fifty
bushels. The grade is splendid.

Interest in Traction Stocks.

While the local traction stocks were
not dealt in extensively. the fluctuations
in them aroused good deal OF inter
est. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was ex-
ceptionally weak, at net decline of IL
per cent.
Perhaps the most interesting develop
ment in the local traction group was
the exceptional activity in Metropolitan
securities at an advance of 5A. This
was recorded notwithstanding reac-
tion of nearly 8 points from the highest
point. The movement in it was ac-
companied by rumors that Subway in
terests are endeavoring to secure con-
troll Of the Metropolitan Street Railway
system by acquiring majority of the
comparatively small capitalization of
the Metropolitan Security Company.
There was falling off in the deal
ings in Amaigamated Copper, and the
best price for that stock was made at
the opening. There was also a note-
worthy increase in the dealings of
Sugar Refining that left the price 2
points higher than last night.
Other industrials, except the shares
OF the Fuller company, were compare
lively neglected. The well-known CO.
terie of Western spectators is under
stood to be largely interested in the
cotton stock Of the Fuller company. and
II was, therefore, credited with the net
advance of more than points in the
price of that stock today.

SpeculatorsKeepingC Close
Tabs on Shifting Stock
Movement.
MANIPULATORS ARE AT WORK
Exceptional Activity in Metropolitan
Securities - Increased Dealings in
Bonds-Gold Shipment to Paris-The
Market Closes Steady.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Today's stock
market was irregular. There was the
customary shifting of speculative inter
est, caused by manipulative operations.
that helped to continue the impression
that substantial upward movement in
prices is under way.
Union Pacific, which has been lag
gard for some time past, was taken in
hand, and advanced more than point.
There was also a revival of the buying
movement in st. Paul, that resulted in
q similar net gain. The movement in
Atchison preferred that started yester-
day was continued with undated vigor,
and in consequence that stock also
scored a net gain of little more than
q point. These three stocks were the
leaders.
Next in order came New York Cen
trail, which retained only small frac-
tion of its maximum improvement;
Southern Pacific, Atchison preferred,
Missouri Pacific, and Canadian Pacific.
The last named was more extensively
dealt in than for some time past, and
scored net gain of IL per cent.
Rock Island Gains.
The dealings in Rock Island was
somewhat larger than yesterday, and
resulted in further net gain of four
points, the stock closing at the highest
price recorded for it.
Other railway issues that move spas
medically from time 10 time, and which
today received unusual attention, was
Denver and Rio Grande preferred, Des
Molnes and Fort Dodge. Great Northern
preferred, Illinois Central, Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, st. Louis South
western issues, and 500 preferred.
All of them closed point or more
higher than yesterday except ST. Louis
Southwestern issues. the advance in
which, particularly in the common, was
not commensurate with she dealings in
it.
AS may be imagined, the improve
ment in all of the stocks that have been
mentioned was based upon the condition
and prospects of the staple crop. and
the reasonable deduction that if the
last-named are fulfilled the country will
enjoy another year of exceptional pros
perity.
The Washington times., 1902-07-24
Heavy Trade in Bonds.

There was a decided increase In the
dealings in bonds, owing chiefly to
greater activity in Union Pacific convert
ible fours. Pennsylvania convertible
warrants. Norfolk and Western, Poca-
hontas Coal fours. Missouri, Kansas and
Texas first mortgage fours and Third
Avenue guaranteed fours.
In the outside market there was un-
usual activity In Northern Securities at
an advance to 10 and a subsequent re-
action to 10S11 at the close. Other note
worthy dealings on the curb were in
New England Consolidated Ice at 315sG
BIZ. Manhattan Transit, Seaboard Air
Line issues, Trenton Potteries, New
York Realty at a further advance to
ICY.
The principal developments in the
monetary situation was the engagement
OF 100000 gold for export to Paris
tomorrow and reduction o. S25O. 900 to
$750000 in the amount engaged yester-
day.
The foreign exchange market was
practically held in check today by mod
crate purchases OF stocks by foreign
arbitrage houses on balance. The clos
ing Of the stock market was irregular
but In the main very steady.

ut Louis. Mo, Dec 2.-Wilson Il.
Miner, brother of Rev w. Mlznef, pas,
tor OF the st Stephens house, Eptscopal
mission of this city, has returned lfoilt
an involuntary ana perllous trip 70 tHe
Arctic regions, in which an Ordinary
ship, caught in a mass OF swiftly NOV
ing icebergs, reached point as neaf
or nearer to the North Pole than mas
been attained by professional eAplor-
ers. ~.
Miner relates a most thrilling tale
of the remarkable voyage to within
600 miles of the Pole. The party OF
which he was member sailed. on the
steamer Portland from Seattle to cape
Nome and had almost reached its des-
tination when, hurled from its course
by icebergs. the ship was carried away
in a northerly direction to point sew
eral miles north of Herald Island, the
northern-most island in the Pacifle
ocean. A revenue cutter spent TWO
months in fruitless search and then re-
ported that the vessel had been sung
in the ice north of Behring Straits.
1--WE started from Seattle April 70,
said Mr. Miner, in describing his jour
ney, expecting to reach Cape Nome IN
about fourteen days. We got to Dutch
Harbor all right. but two days ont
from there we encountered huge fields
OF slush ice. Nevertheless we were en-
abled to steam through. and about May
13 we began packing trunks and writ
ing letters, expecting to reach Nome
on the morrow.
con the 18th icebergs loomed upon
both sides Of us. Tt banked up fifty
feet above the decks Of the ship, Tive
days later we passed through Behring
Straits at the rate of sixteen Iciles an

AFTER MICHAEL M'CIvNEY'S MONEY
NEW HYDRANT SET TO-DAY.
To Replace One Broken at Corner OF
Brook Street.

Brook Street.
Superintendent O'Brien of the bu-
reau of water set new three-wsy hy-
drant to-day at the corner Of Brook
and East Main street to replace the
one broken there during the past few
days. Someone struck the. old one
with a heavy team and disabled it.
The case was reported to the superin-
tendent who lost no time in installing
one in the same location little far
ther back from the street line, how
ever, SO that teams will not be apt 10
collide with it. Once in while q
hydrant is broken, but the department
rarely finds out the offending parties.
The Scovill Manufacturing company
did decent thing with the city about
these matters when their team ran
away on Riverside street and smashed
hydrant. They notified Mr. O'Brien
to repair the damage and send the bill
to the company. Mr. O'Brien mailed
them the. bill yesterday and to-day he
received check for the amount Who
says the Scovill Manufacturing COM
pany is not all right, even if it does
make little kick now and then about
water rates? A three-way hydrant
costs about $75 set. so that it costs
something to replace them.

BLoNDIN JURY VISITS HOUSE.
Where the Wife of the Prisoner Met
Her Death.

Boston, Dec "A trip to Chelms-
ford, Mass, by the jury chosen yes
terday to Try J. Wilfrid Blondin on the
charge of wife murder to-day took the
place of the forenoon session of the
superior criminal court. After the
return to this city the house on Green
street in which the murder is alleged
to have been committed, was visited
and the twelve men were ready to be-
gin the consideration Of evidence dur
ing the afternoon.
The Jury went to Chelmsford In
charge of court officers. They went to
Lowell by train. At Lowell a special
electric car was taken for Chelmsford.
The locality connected with the MUIR
der was viewed, counsel explaining
and describing the various features OF
the case. The spot where the head
less body of Mrs Blondin was found
under a brush heap, and the place q
quarter of a mile away where the
head was found in the bed of q brook
were pointed out and their exact po
sition indicated upon maps and
charts which will be used in the court
proceedings.
When a comprehensive view of the
surroundings had been gained the jury
returned to Lowell and to Boston.
Then they went over the lodging
house on Green street in which it was
claimed Mrs Blondin was killed and
from which it is charged the body
was removed in a trunk and taken to
Chelmsford by a wagon, where the
parts were hidden as the jury had
seen Indicated.
