LIVE STOCK TRADE
BETTER THAN YEAR AGO
More Cattle Shipped From West
ern Points Than in 1902.

Internal commerce conditions. as shown
by the monthly report of the Depart
ment OF Commerce and Labor, through
Its Bureau of Statistics, compare fav-
orably with the corresponding period of
last year. For the month OF Nav. re-
ceipts of live stock at five Western mar
kets have been larger than either of the
Two preceding months. total Of 2.512. sol
head having arrived, compared with
Z,46l,S6S head in April, and 2.346. .4IO head
In March Of the current year The usual
course of trade is in the other direction
and these larger receipts may be partly
accounted for by the excellent condition
Of pasturage throughout the producing
sections, owing to the more prolonged
period of rainfall
For five months ending with May this
year 1881. .790 head of stock had been
received at Chicago, Kansas City.
Omaha, St Louis, and st. Joseph. For
the corresponding period in 1902 a total
OF 12.5O2,5O6 head were reported. show
ing that this season is fully up to that
Of 1902 in this branch of trade In 1901
the receipts amounted to Is, ,2a3. .926 head.
II the live stock trade be taken as an
index to economic conditions generally
II would seem that a firm and even level
OF prosperity had been maintained with
at least fair prospects OF continuance.
This view is confirmed by comparison of
the movement of live stock from Kansas
City and St. Joseph for feeder and
country demand. During the FIVE months
under consideration 306,974 head were
sent from these two markets. where
as in 1902 only 237, ,5ss head were
sent, and in 1901. 272.196 head. These
figures indicate that the feeding hocks OF

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Bears Have 1t All Their Own Way Again-AH Leading
Issues Record Heavy LosseS-Pennsyvania
Below Syndicate Selling Price

II a. m.-The mail brought numerous
selling orders over Sunday from out of
town and the bear faction was active and
aggressive from the start of the stock
market today.
Although the general list again
showed numerous losses, there was
considerable covering of shorts,
which at times interrupted the
decline with moderate rallies. New
York Central received better support
and failed to lose more than fractional
ground. Pennsylvania, however. was
subjected to a further raid and price
broke Ia and st. Paul sold off lie per
cent. but showed more of rallying dis
position after the low point had been
made. Missouri Pacific was momentarily
depressed over per cent, and loss OF
a point was scored by Wabash pre-
ferred. Illinois Central was put under
pressure and declined IL per cent.
In the Industrials Sugar fell over ?
per cent under bear attack, but rallied
y. Amalgamated Copper sold down to
4Oh. The Iron and Steel stocks were
comparatively well supported In the
local traction group, Manhattan and
Metropolitan Street Railway lost per
cent each.
Western advices continued to be IA
vorable as regards the crop outlook and
continuance of large railroad traffic
There are rumors that small engage
ments of gold will be made, but the
local money market showed no new i'm
portant feature. After first hour prices
rallied and held with more steadiness
but the sentimtnt OF speculation nat
urally remained somewhat unsettled
Government bonds unchanged. Railroad
bonds easier but dull.
Noon-London houses bought between
%, 900 and 10000 shares this morning
and gave the best support the market
had on the lowest level of prices. They
bought about 5000 Union Pacific, 3,O0'
Atchison, and 5000 Canadian Pacific

NEW YORK. July 13.-Liquidation Of
over-extended speculative accounts, as
well as from other sources, was con-
tinued in heavy volume at the opening
of the stock exchange today, and a semi
panicky market and further low records
IN various standard issues was the re
suit. When the gavel fell at 10 o'clock,
opening the trading, brokers rushed
from post to post and threw long stock
on the market for the first bid price,
with the result that there were wide
differences in sales. Particular pressure
was felt in Pennsylvania. Atchison. St
Paul, New York Central. and Amalgam-
ated Copper.
Shares OF Pennsylvania came out by
the thousands and the stock in the first
fifteen minutes fell to 120, the lowest
price since 1898. Atchison came in for
heavy liquidation and opened at 6316.
the lowest price yet touched. ST. Paul
acted very irregular, and there was n
half point between the first two sales.
1t finally fell TO 144, the lowest for sew
eral years. Here and there through the
list there were spasmodic recoveries due
to the covering of short lines put out
the middle of last week. Later the mar
ket steadied some.
At the end OF the first half hour Penn
sylvania sold for 1875, an eighth less
than It was offered to shareholders in
the recent new issue of stock. New
York Central touched 1147h. the lowest
in FIVE years.
AmalgRmated Copper broke its low
record price Of 30, made on Saturday,
and sold for 49H. Its particular weak
ness came from a statement that Stand
ard Oil interests had disposed of most OF
their holdings in the company. Amalga-
mated was sold to the public not long
ago for par and up 10 120, the fact tina;
the Rockefeller people we're interested
causing many to believe that II would be

ests appeared to give no support except
where there appeared to be dangerous
weakness.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

COLORED WAITER MAY
HAVE DROWNED HIMSELF
Charles Lee Banks, Missing, Leaves
Several Notes, Hinting Suicide.

The probable suicide by drowning of
the negro, Charles Lee Banks. employed
as a waiter at 31S L Street northwest.
was disclosed this morning, by the re-
ceipt of several letters indicating his
self-destruction. The communications
were taken to Police Headquarters and
an investigation was begun at once.
From the circumstances surrounding his
absence the police believe the negro
really ended his life.
One Of these messages was addressed
TO his sister. Annie Banks, OF Hagers-
town. residing at 1923 Fifteenth Street
northwest. and is as follows:
'Good-by Mama. Sister Mary. Marion
and Clarisa. for ] am gone. You will
never see me any more. and tell all the
rest OF the folks good-by for me. But
want Marion to have my wheel and all
NY clothes. They may be too large for
him now. but If he lives he will need
them some day. Some of them are in
the trunk and some are under the bed.
AS l go down the river on the River
Queen and fall never to be seen.
CHARLIE LEE BANKS"
The following note was received Ly
Mrs. II. NJ. Hayden, who employed
Banks. yesterday morning:
''Good-by. Mrs. Hayden and Miss Sweet
and Mrs. Vass and Mr.. Vass. for have
gone to the bottom of the Potomac, and
the exchange will send you a waiter
tkis morning and you will please give
what little bit you owe me to my sister
on 1923 Fifteenth Street northwest
Washington D. c."
Another letter was received througF
the mail today by Susie Washington, ii.
sweeiheart, who lives at 1900 NJ Stree
northwest. II reads as follows:
July 6. 1903
Miss Washington:
My dear Sweets-Good- d-by. good-by
for am gone. AS go down the river OF
the River Queen soon. will fall into tn,
river never TO be seen. And tell all m,
friends goOd-by for me for I am gone n,
more. c. L. BANKS.
"P. S.-And 1t is not your fault
| Sweets. and don't you think It,"
In reporting the case at the detectiv,
bureau. Susie Washington and the mans
sister told Detective Peck that Bank.
had seemed despondent for the las
month or so. He complained of feeling
Ill. and on several occasions intimateC
that he would end his life. In addition
to this he acted queerly, and there
seems to be some ground for the theory
that he was slightly demented.
Banks left his place Of employment OF
Saturday evening, after informing his
friends that he intended going down the
river TO Motley Hall Shortly before he
departed he was seen by Susie Washing
ton and told her he was going to Balti-
more with friend but she learned OF
inquiring that this was not true.
After this. he disappeared and the
police can find no trace OF him. From
long experience the police have learned
to regard such letters as q practical
joke. but there seems TO be every indi-
cation that Banks did jump into the
river and drown.

The wall Street News" says: "The
steady weakening in prices for steel and
iron is acceped by many as foreshadow-
ing a declining tendency in the pros
perity of the country. while the appar-
ent effort of some of the Republican
leaders to dissuade President Roosevelt
from calling an extra session OF Con-
gress to adopt some new currency legis-
Iation, it is feared, will again bring
about scarcity In money next fall such
as was seen last year. Thus It Will be
seen that the situation is not quite so
roseate as the bulls would have the pub
lie believe, and therefore the bears hold
a fairly good basis for their campaign

tinue until the bulls pull themselves
together and show they have the cour-
age OF their convictions by

The number of men who have re-
turned to work in the so-called "un-
fair" mines is rapidly approaching l.
0O0, and will top that figure before
many days elapse. Inquiry at the diff
ferent mines and samplers where the
daily reports OF the shift bosses and the
pay rolls were placed at the disposition
of Republican representative. shows
937 men drawing pay and working.
Capable miners are arriving in camp
by every train and are assigned to work
as soon as they report. Two of the
Duluth strike breakers Frank An
derson and William Smith. who were
induced to quit and were shipped out
of camp at the expense of the Western
Federation, have returned, and are
working at local sampler.
The following official statement was
issued tonight over the signature of
the executive committee, District I'm
ion No. /, W. F. of NJ:
General Chase in an interview says
the strike is over. If General Chase
means by this statement the strikers
have won he is correct. but if he means
the contrary, he is incorrect.
There are at present close to 1000
union miners working in the Cripple
Creek district upon mines that are
fair
There are about 200 men and boys
working on mines that are unfair
The major portion of these men and
boys are not miners and could not OBJ
tain work upon these mines at any 9TH
er time than during strike to help
break the strike. These are the men
that the mine owners are Dragging of
