Last weeks market is a curiosity. For
concentration of business. for Wilderness
of range IN the active stocks. and for
inactivity outside the galvanized circle
the week is a terrible example Of artin-
ciauty. Only seventy-twO stocks moved
so much as a point, although Az. pa
shares were dealt In. Advances and de-
Clines We're evenly divided among the
seventy-two, but In the bond market
there were twenty advances to five de
clines. Twelve stocks contributed 3 700
2lS shares Of the total. leaving pit1ful
remnant for the rest of the long list.
But business was most unevenly divid-
ed. even among the most representative
dozen Union Pacific alone contributed
$50 695 or nearly a quarter Of the quota
for the dozen.

states attorneys office that an application

spondent because of an alleged shortage
IN his accounts and crazed by drink. N. F.
Pettis, bookkeeper and cashier for the
Kansas City Cunning System, attempted
suicide in the Stratford Hotel here by
opening an artery in his left wrist.
He was discovered by DIR. Pickerell. who
checked the flow of blood in time to save
Petts' life.
Pettis, who is about forty years old,
came here last July from Washington to be
bcokkeeper and cashier for the Kansas
City Cunning System, which has charge
OF bill board advertising in the city.
Monday evening Pettis wrote a letter to
Cbas. Stears, manager of the company.
Stears received this letter yesterday. He
said 1t was an incoherent epistle. in which
Pettis threatened to kill himself. Stears
said he gave little credence to the threat
il contained.
According to Mr.. Stears. an auditor sent
here by an eastern security company, which
IS on Pettis' bond. Is now examining his
books to see il a shortage exists. So far rs
his acquaintances here know, Pettis is not
married. They say also that only very re-

AN EARLY REPLY WANTED.
Japan Conveys Strong Hint to the
Russian Agents.

The only change in the Russo-Japanese
situation reported to the State Department
since yesterday is a growing Impotence on
the part of Japan at what it regards as
undue delay in the Russian reply. This
has led to the conveyance to the Russian
agents of a strong hint from Japan that an
early reply Is desired.
1t Is said here that this action on the
part Of Japan does not in itself constitute
an ultimatum: but it does advance negotia-
lions much nearer to that stage and the
officials welcome an intimation that comes
from another quarter than the first report
to the effect that the Russian reply is to be
returned very soon.
