Pneapples are not cultivated to great
tent, past experience in the growing of this
fruit in Jamaica not having been so successful
from business point of view as is true In
other West Indian islands. This owes its ex-
istence to the cultivation of varieties not suit
able for export, the native Ripley being gen
orally grown here In lieu of the red Spanish.
which holds export reputation of its own
in other localities. The exports of this fruit
are at present very small, having constantly
decreased during the past Ave years-from
II, sos dozens in 1902 to S457 dozens in 1906.

CHICAGO GRAIN

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct 24-The wheat market
opened weak, with prices sc TO 1Ac below
the close Of yesterday sharp advance at
Liverpool was completely ignored in the face
of the conditions in the financial world, the
suspension of several banking concerns in the
east having been reported before the opening
of the board of trade.
Trading early in the day was not in large
volume, but as the secession advanced 1t in
creased to liberal proportions. Liquidation
which had been confined to small holders, be-
came general and included some of the bull
leaders. With the increase in business prices
were forced down more rapidly. The market
closed weak and near the low point of the day.
December opened 1s@Bc lower at $l.00%@1.01
sold off to ss1sc and closed down 2%G2Sc at
esssc.
The corn market was decidedly weak all day,
because OF selling induced by the financial sit
uation, ideal weather for the crop and the
weakness of wheat The market closed weak.
December opened h@Ac higher to %@hc lower
at SIC.
Heavy selling oil oats by cash houses and
sharp declines in the eastern shippers caused
decline of almost cent in all deliveries.
December opened hc lower at sic, declined to
50sc and closed at 5OhG50asc.
Despite the weakness of grain and 10 to 15
cents decline In the price of live hogs the pro-
vision market strong all day. Decreasing
stocks and an improved cash demand were the
causes of the strength. Shorts and investors
were good buyers throughout the day, and trade
was in large volume. At the close January

mYRE FRANKLIN PAYS PENALTY
FOR SHOOTING ONE OF THEM
- YEARS THE TIME.

MONTGOMERY. Jan. st.-Miss
Myrtle Franklin. who made quite a
reputation as wing shot, by ringing
the bulls eye on Price Thomas while
that gentleman was engaged IN fee
ing whole lot, drew seven years as
a result of the same in the criminal
court Tuesday.
1t seems that Thomas and several
others called on the same young lady
at Miss Frankiin's residence in the
east end, and her sense of the ternat
fitness OF things was considerably dis
turbed by the loudness OF the cos
tune which Thomas wore and several
other things, so Myrtle took her Har-
rington out from under the photo
graph album which contains the CON
cealed music box, and began to grind
out a tune which soon emptied the
house and left Thomas dead. Squire
Davis held her without bond, and the
criminal court did the rest.
