CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

| Chicago Jan. 16.-Lower prices for cash
 wheat in all markets had weakening ef feet on speculative values here today Wheat for May delivery closed at a loss of 1 c 1s. Corn is off b Oats are down 1s e hc. Pro visions are up shade to 5c.
 The wheat market opened firm with prices showing some improvement over Saturdays
 closing quotations, May being 1sQls at 1.16% to 1l7%, within short time 4,.ay sold at l.l7h. The principal reason for the initial firmness was the bullish appearance of worlds shipments for last week. the total
 amount being less than the estimated cons sumption of the importing countries. In this connection also the decided movement
 from Russia and Argentina had considerable Influence. Commission houses the chief buyers during the early part of the session. Offerings were rather limited and came principally from scalpers. As the sion advanced. however, the selling became | more pronounced and sentiment in the pit turned bearish. The cause of this change
 was gossip reCev q from outside markets
 telling Of lessened demand for cash wheat. Advices from St. Louis indicated continued increase in receipts of wheat at that point. From Minneapolis came reports 1 of a poor cash demand and of an increase in the movement from the country. Commis | sion houses were free sellers during the lat ter part of the session. May delivery sold | off to l.15lA and closed at l.15 @1.15ss. to lS,500 bushels. The amount passage decreased 56,000 bushels. while the visible
 supply decreased 6s1,OOO bushels. PriSnary | receipts were SIP, 500 bushels, compared r lth | S3S,9OO bushels year ago.
 Indications of heavier movement as
 manifested by an increase in the visible
 supply had a weakening effect on the corn
 market. Instead of an expected decrease in | available stocks there increase of
 s60,0OO bushels notwithstanding the small
 ness of last weeks receipts. Commission
 houses were quite free sellers throughout the
 day. Buying was from scattered sources.
 May opened a shade to lac higher at 447k | c 45, sold between 44% Q44% and 45h and
 closed at 44%. Loral receipts were 29O
 cars, none of contract grade
 l Weakness of other grains caused some
 selling of oats, but a decrease in the visible
 supply held the declining tendency in check
 and prevented any material loss May | opened a shade higher at 31%, ranged be-
 tween 3OA Q31 and 3IS and closed at 3l Local receipts were 69
 l Influenced by decline in hog prices
 the provision market was somewhat easier
 early in the session. but later frmer tone
 developed a moderate demand. Trading
 was chiefly in the May products although
 there was fair business in the July op- l tion. At the close May pork was up 5c at
 $l2.721z. Lard was up 2h at t6.S7is; ribs were a shade higher at $6.72l4.

 The opening was quiet with prices Q points lower to 2 points higher than the closing of Saturday.

LOyEMAN & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

New Orleans, Jan. Is.-From all appear ances the interior is drawing the line tighter having been received at the ports since Friday than what arrived during the same time last week, and when contrasted with the amount received during the same period of the year before last the comparison is all the greater. Up to last Friday there has been marketed 1.002.0e0 bales more than for the corresponding time one year ago. Nevertheless, stock in warehouses here has been reduced to $50, 900 bales compared with 351. 900 last year, while all ports hold but s14 900. last year s45,ooo, year before last l,o6s.000. These conditions have been brought about by individual action of in- terior spot holders who have refused point blank to market their cotton and depress the market in the interest of the consumer. The Southern planter by holding the unsold portion of his crop and resolving to cut down the acreage in cotton this spring IS only acting in his own interest and intends to carry the matter further by declaring his intentions in open convention so that the world may know what to expect In the way of supplies during the balance of this sea son and next year. In an effort to hold the market in check, leading traders on tho short side in all markets have been obliged to put out new lines of spring and sum mer positions. They are so convinced of the farmers inability to hold that they offer in such a fashion to make one imagine that they are unminiful of the price at which the staple js selling It is because that the South of old was compelled to part with her crops just as soon as they were prepared for market that the spinner and his CO., workers feel confident of their position. This is the first time that the cotton States have proved to the trade that they are able to care for their own property and will not obliged to hold Dutch auction, as has been the case in the past: the remuneration from the crops of the past four years having been their deliverer from dependence. nis the growers of the South assisted by all who have the interest of this section at heart propose to demonstrate even if system of warehousing be decided upon Day after day exporters obliged to enter the market against their will, and day after day they find 1t more difficult to fill their orders transferred from last month, and if the planters stand together the spinners' agents will have as much trouble in secur- ing their wants during the balance of the season Spots here closed firm at an au- vance of B midding. 7c; sales. 3.70O; 70 arrive. 200.

Covering by Professional, the Absence of Offerings and . Little Southern De- mand Causes Slight Gains to

Be Recorded.
 New York, ,Jan 16.-The cotton market was very quiet today. In the absence of important offerings the covering of local professionals and a little Southern demand promoted by the light receipts causel slight advances and final prices showed gains of about e@s points for the day. The open ing was steady at an advance of point in response to steady Liverpool cables While the small receipts and good exports are leading to e decrease in present stocks the feeling that a large amount of cotton re- mains to be marketed, prevents the grow ing state of the statistical position from having any material effect other than as 1t may restrict offerings! After the opening prices slowly worked upward on & moderate demand from local professionals but each bulge attracted small selling orders. In a general way. however, the ruling was stea iy and the market closed steady within a point or two of the best. Sales futures were es timated at 100 900 bales Private advices from the South reported continuous firmncss among spot owners.

ers, at Bennington, Aug. IL, l9Uz. AL
the time the crime was committed
Mrs. Rogers was only nineteen years
old. She had been separated from her
husband for some time and was de.
sirous of marrying a young man
named Maurice Knapp. On the day
of the murder Marcus Rogers went to
Bennington to visit his wife and that
night she arranged to meet him in the
woods near the Walloomsac river.
While caressing him she induced him
to allow her to bind his hands and
while he was powerless she chloro-
formed him. In this she was aided by
Leon Perham, half-witted boy, who
was the son of the woman with whom
she boarded. Another woman, Estella
Bates. was present.
After chloroforming Rogers the boy
and Mrs. Rogers rolled the body into
the river, where it was found the next
day. In order to divert suspicion the
woman wrote note, to which she
signed her husbands name. giving the
impression that he had committed sui
eide.
! Immediately after the murder Mrs.
Rogers endeavored to collect her hus.
bands life insurance, amounting to
$500, and also made arrangements to
purchase furniture for the house
where she expected to live when she
had married Knapp.
A few days after the murder Mrs.
Rogers, Perham and the Bates woman
were arrested. Perham made a COM
plete confession and both he and Mrs.
Rogers were found guilty OF murder
In the first degree. Perham was SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life, while
the sentence In Mrs. Rogers case was
death on the gallows.
