Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO Oct. 2o.-Wheat prices were ner- vous again today due to a feeling of uncer- tainty in the minds of traders as to the out come of the financial troubles in the east but closing prices were about where they left of yesterday with December up hc. December corn was shade higher, but oats were down h@Ac. January provisions closed from 10 to l2hc higher.
 Easier cables and favorable weather for the movement as well as the situation in Wall Street were influences that caused wheat to open barely steady with December up a shade to A@kc lower at 9c6SoA. Local traders were inclined to be rather cautious in their trading early and there was some scattered liquidation. but with reassuring news from Wall Street and on active buying by one or two big bull operators the market quickly developed a stronger tone. The best support, however, came from the conditions in the Northwest and the improved export business. Duluth reported 100. 900 bushels taken there for shipment and reports from Minneapolis said that country millers were buying there. December was in active demand and advanced to elH. At this figure there was considerable profit taking and the sentiment during the latter part of the session was inclined to weakness. December closed He higher at soA0eo%. clearances were .354, 300 bushels, against .7s7. 400 e year ago. Bradstreet's worlds visible showed an increase far the week of 5.2oo Receipts. io4 cars. none contract: Minneapolis and Du- luth reported 747. total of s5l against l, ,- o9e last week and LIB e year ago.
 Corn was easier at the start due to favor able weather and lower cables. but in the ab- sence of any special selling pressure a nrmer feeling was manifested. Commission houses and local shorts bought liberally during the first hour but later when wheat showed signs of weakness many of the early buyers turned sellers and the early gain was lost. Decem- ber ranged between 43& and AK. closing a shad higher at 43%. Receipts, 435 cars. 26 contract grade.
 Trading in oats was only moderate and prices 1uctuated withi na narrow range. There was buying by some of the cereal people while the selling was scattered. Country offerings were light and receipts somewhat smaller. After selling between 36 and 35h December closed h9kc lower at 36. Receipts. gee cars.
 In spite of lower hogs provisions ruled firm due mainly to a fair support from packers, all though shorts were also good buyers January pork and lard closed I2hc higher at SI .67h and S6. 6.52h. respectively. and ribs were up loc at S627h.

A. B. Baxter a Co.'S Cotton Letter
 By Private Lenaed WfrA

NEW YORK. Oct. 2o-The weather today vas good deal warmer and fair conditions were the rule. The Liverpool situation was rather poor at the opening. but there was a better demand in that market. The main ob- stacle to improvements seems to be unsettled considerable The financial world and fears of war between Russia and Japan. Frosts are in- creasing. but this is more than looked for and they will probably keep increasing They must do 50 if the crop will equal that of last year and even then it wili< signify nothing more tha ma moderate crop. The probabilities are that prices would be forced down to a ri- diculously low level is always the case when receipts begin to swell. Later on the discov- cry that the markets have been largely over sold will quickly re-estabiish prices. especially when 1t appears that the crop after will fail to exceed last years. Opening prices were l@2 points advance and a further rise fol- lowed Receipts pointed to 72.ooo. against 6SDoo and this helped the bears but the situ- ation in Wall Street was calmer and would be buyers with December especially as foreign advices as to cotton finances and policies were more reassurtng Prices by noon had advanced sharply on covering on reports of cotton killed by frost Cables were very steady at the close A decline of 2 points.

BRADSTREET ON TRADE.
Report of Markets and Their Tone
For the Past Week.

hepOrt OF markets ana Ihe1r Tone
For the Past Week.
New York. April 1O.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Favorable features this week are the
annual rush of Easter buying at re-
tail, which is reported of excellent vol
ume, some improvement in the reas-
sorting demand with jobbers at inte-
rior markets resulting therefrom and
a slight, but still perceptible, improve
ment in the labor situation, growing
out of mutual concessions.
Prices during the month of March
showed exceptional strength, despite
seasonable changes downward in dairy
products. grains and fuel, partly coun-
teracted, however, by advances in live
stock and meats. Lumber and build
ing materials of all kinds, however,
met an exceptional good demand, in
spite of numerous strikes, and finished
products in iron and steel show
strength, but the cruder forms, such as
pig iron, have weakened perceptibly,
ostensibly because of the lowering of
quotations of Southern iron, but really
because with improved transportation
and better supplies of coke has come
an enlargement of iron production to
the highest point ever known.
1t is, of course, too early to measure
tine development Of fail trade. Some
interior markets report good orders,
but large Eastern centers note a hold
ing back of buyers of cotton yarns, and
the demand for heavy weight woolens
is reported to have been checked by
higher prices. Raw wool has again
weakened though the statistical posi-
tion is very strong.
Railroad earnings are quite favora-

4 WOMAN IN BLACK.
Caused n Sensation Rt WATERFORD.
in south Carolina.

Columbia. S c., April 1O.-A mys-
terious woman in black" has caused
a sensation in WATERFORD. S. L. Fen
nell, a farmer and lumberman, re-
siding near that place was arrested
yesterday and placed in Jail on the
charge of forgery.
The mysterious woman, who is de-
scribed as quiet and handsome, APP
peared at the Farmers and Merchants
Bank of Walterboro on March q, pre-
sehted a check for $432, bearing the
signature of w. o. Thompson, Jr..
drawn on the Bank of Hampton in
favor OF one of his married sisters,
whom she impersonated, and received
the money without question. Fennells
connection with the case is that he
is known to have accompanied the
woman from WATERFORD to Hampton,
conversing with her the preceding day.
At Hampton, it is said she presented a
check for similar sum, but owing
to some error payment was refused.
He returned with her to Walterboro
the same day.
Fennel admits seeing her on the
train, but denies knowledge of her
identity. Another mystifying feature
of the case is that the woman must
have known the extent of Thompsons
deposits in the Bank of Hampton. and
also familiar with his signature.
An Old Postmaster.
George w FAINT, aged IA, died at his
home in Anderson yesterday. lie was
appointed postmaster of Anderson BY
President Buchanan in 1859 and held
the office continuously for twenty-five
years. He was reappointed by Pres
ident Jefferson Davis when the Con-
federate government was organized
and after the war was continued in

Witness Out of the Way.
Indianapolis, April 10.-An effort to
hold an insanity commission on Rufus
Cantrell, the negro who is charged
with grave robbing, broke up in u
row to-day. Charges of bribery were
openly made by one of the attorneys
representing Cantrell. 1t was also
charged that an effort was being made
to railroad Cantrell to the insane
asylum so that he could not appear as
a witness against DR.. Alexander whose
trial is set for next week.
When Squire" Enrich declared the
court open and that the examination of
witnesses would begin, Prosecutor
Ruckelshaus protested against the
proceedings. He said:
Il have a right to see that no man
is railroaded to the insane asylum in
stead of getting his just dues for
crimes committed against the state. 1
stand here on my rights and demand
that this commission continue the IN
quest until after the trial of DR.. Alex
