BODY BROUGHT TO WAILA WALLA TODAY

Frank Gray is supposed to be the
name of the man run over and killed
by an o. r. & N train three miles this
side of Wallula early yesterday morn
ing. E. r. Hennessey, of the under
taking firm of Pickard & Hennessey,
brought the body to Walla Walla this
morning, but except a poll tax receipt,
made out in the name of Frank Gray
and signed by T. D. Shutter, marshal
of Arlington, Or, no means of identifi-
flying the remains were found in the
dead mans clothes. A small memoir
andum book, evidently kept as a time
book a razor and % cents completed
the mans personal effects
The man was evidently a common
laborer and was riding the brakebeams
of the Wallula train when killed. The
supposition is that he lost his balance
and fell beneath the wheels of the
swift moving train On the ties, about
so feet from where the body was picked
up by a section crew, traces of hair
and blood We're found yesterday, indi-
acting that Gray had been dragged
about that distance before being run
over and tossed to one side of the
track by coming in contact with the
wheels.
Body Badly MutiIated.
The body was badly mutilated. Both
legs We're cut off near the hips and
there were severe scalp wounds, the
skull being badly fractured in places.
Trainmen say that Gray must have
met death almost instantly.
Mr.. Hennessey will communicate
with the Arlington marshal in an ef-
fort to find some trace of the dead
mans relatives. 1t is supposed that he
had been employed on the north bank
road and was beating his way to some
other section of the country at the
time of the accident. The dead man
is about five feet six or seven inches in
height; weighs about $50 pounds and
is probably 40 years of age. The hair
is a dark brown and he wore brown
mustache. The clothes were of a rough
texture
The body was inferred in the county
cemetery today.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, January 13.-Advices from Ar
gentina claiming additional grains and
resulting delayed movement of the wheat
crop resulted in a firm market here today
At the close wheat for May delivery was up
AaA. Corn showed a gain of Aass. Oats
were practically unchanged Provisions
were 21aa5 higher.
The wheat market was firm from the start
and the volume of trading was large. Sew
eral of the larger commission houses bought
freely in the first hour and although the
local traders sold literally, prices made a
moderate advance. Foreign advices con-
tinued to be of bulliSh character, Excess
sive rains being reported in Argentina,
while in India the wheat crop was said to
be suffering from lack of moisture Toward
the middle of the day the market reacted
somewhat on selling, induced by reports Of
a slack demand for -four In the northwest
and at Kansas City.
The easier feeling, however, was quickly
dispelled by active buying of shorts, who
were stirred to action by small primary re-
ceipts and heavy clearances at the seaboard.
The market closed firm. After opening un-
changed to IA higher at $50 to SS;s. the
May option sold between SS1s and ss9s. and
closed at SSasaSS12. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to $4,000 bushels.
Primary receipts were 112,69o bushels, COM
pared with 217,000 bushels one year ago.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 439 cars against ATS cars last
week and 1896 cars year ago.
Unsettled weather in the central west
caused considerable strength in the corn
market. Pit traders were free sellers, but
all offerings were eagerly taken by cash
houses. The good demand by exporters
which has continued for several days was
another bullish factor. The market closed
strong, with prices at the highest point of
the day. May opened unchanged at 451s,
sold off to 40, and then advanced to ASA
4515, where it closed Local receipts were
323 cars, with 81 of contract grade.
Sentiment in the oats pit was bearish, but
because of the firmness of wheat and corn
the market held steady for the greater
part of the day. The demand came largely
from shorts May opened unchanged to "a
lower at 50 to 32ls, sold between 31B and
321s, and closed at 32a32hs. Local receipts
were 1I9 cars.
Provisions were a trifie easier early in the
session because of profit taking by longs,
which was induced by 10c. decline in the
price of live hogs. Pit traders, however,
who were bulIishly inclined because of con-
tinued heavy shipments of meat and lard
bought freely and their operations resulted
in a fir,ner feeling. AT the close May pork
was up 8 at 141212. Lard was UP 21aa5
at 76T1ka1.I0. Ribs were 21aa5 higher at
Z. G21aa7G5.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
% cars; corn, 2ol cars; oats, 2l3 cars; hogs,

The deposits, and consequently the reserve

third millions greater than shown by the
preliminary estima tes-specfe was aug
mented by nearly eleven millions and legal
tenders by about four and two-third mil

been due to large excess receipts of money
from the interior, every section contribut-
ing thereto, and also to heavy dfSburse-
ments by the subtreasury incident to the
period of the year; 1t is noteworthy that IN
the second week of January, 1905, the cash
gain was fifteen and one-third millions.
Deposits last week increased S13, 463, 400,
which amount was two and a half millions
less than the sum of the gain In cash plus
the increase In loans; consequently the
statement failed to prove.

NEW YORK, January 13.-The gray
boards of Wall street, those who have
weathered the stress and storms and panics
for the past generation or longer. stand
aghast at the present market conditions and
aver that they cannot understand It, They
declare that no rule or law that was ap-
plicable to ball markets In the past, fit the
present case. Stocks go up on enormous
tradings of a million and a half shares day
after day IN spite of adverse news and high
money rates that in former times would
have presaged a panic or at least would
have shocked the market into a decline
from which it could not have recovered
for many weeks and even months. But
there is the market advancing day after
day and gaining ground with the irresist-
able force that the Japanese advanced and
gained on Port Arthur. In spite OF all OBJ
staeles. 1t took long while for the pub

MANCHESTER COTTON MARKET.

MANCHESTER. England. January 1a.-
The increased inquiry for cloth resulted in
larger volume of business in the market
here this week. Prices show no signs Of
wavering. manufacturers have strength
ened their order books in various drec-
lions. Calcutta purchased fair quantities
of lower shirtings and light fabrics, but
offers for the better classes are still con-
sidered too low. The Mediterranean mar
kets absorbed miscellaneous descriptions,
while printings and bleached cloths, judg-
ing from inquiries, would sell In large
quantities if quick delivery could be guar
anteed. Yarns were neglected Spinners
of American cops are still uninclined to
yield prices despite the large output Con-
sequently the turnover is Disappointing
The attitude of the buyers In holding out
is attributed to the growing belief that
supplies of cotton will be more plentiful
than expected.
