of the consumption in this industry for the half year made an impressive lesson of the prodigous resources for the expan- sion of the trade, and the resulting profits of those engaged in it. One of Wall streets favorite maxims is the importance and reliability of the course of the iron market as an index of the country's in- dustries as a whole.
 The influence of the revived discussion and further disclosures in the Equitable Life affair, may not be ignored. Account Is taken in the stock market of the dis trust which may be engendered in the minds of investors by the discredit thrown upon names long highly respected and upon instructions trusted by the public confidence for the wise exercise of dlscre- ton and integrity in the placement Of the vast sums of capital in security. The scandal regarding the governments agri- cultural statistics has tended to aggra- vate this feeling, and concentrates atten- tion on all minor incidents of a long standard of business morality with the effect of producing an impression of general tendency calculated to cause dis trust and a dis>~->ance of that credit which is so important an element in the great enterprises of the modern world.

agement as to the probability of the ex= tension of the advance or even maintain ing 1t on account of freer offerings rom the south and an insufficient buying power.
 Traders in our market were not dis pohed to follow the early advance. be- heVing it to be entirely the result of manipulation. As a result after a mod crate gain had been observed selling be- came general carrying prices below yes terdays close, partial recovery of the decline caused after which the market became very quiet and aimless with nar- row fluctuations.
 Weekend statements show that nearly thirteen million bales have come into sight. and with current prices, we may expect a large proportion of the remnant of the old crop to find it's way to market by the end of the crop year
 This movement, with a fair amount from South Texas where the crop Is both good, and fairly carly, promises a suffi- eiency of supplies until the now crop be- gins to move freely.

Fate of Men Who Shot a Spy.

Fron the San Francisco Chronicle.
 While with the British army in South Africa said Major Barchard, an at tache of the British eonsulote, "I was allotted on one occasion the stern task of commanding firing party of ten men who executed a Boer officer who had broken his parole and afterward been condemned as spy He had assumed the uniform of an English soldier and penetrated our lines after having levant- ed when on his parole.
 Every member of that firing party has come to fatal or serious grief since that Friday morning when in the gray dawn We shot the spy. Sudden death or bad accident has befallen each one.
 My turn has come, as you see" And the soldier who had fought in a half dozen campaigns pointed to his left arm, which was in splints. having been frac- tured in a street car accident.
