Many rumors circulated today of the amount price to be realized. one was that ss5.- disposed aof to foreign buyers.

Readings move ment was even wider, the extreme ad- vance running to over three points. The stock was an unveriied report that 100000 shares of 1t, held by Lake shore had been sold in the course of the pres ent rise. This supposed large increase not check it's sharp upward tendency. A marked feature of the market in fact was the light supply of stocks of
 fering at any stage of the advance. A form to the emergency of affairs from the profound depression and dlstrust or the panic period is avowedly one of the main purposes of the persistent mark ing up of stocks in the present move nnsnt. A similar process made itself plainly manifest in the bond division today, where some low grade and con, tingent Interest bonds were revived to one Of considerable. animation. Com paratiwely. small amounts of these bonds had to be taken by advancing bids, while the higher prices thus these securities accepted by bankers and money lenders as q basis on which to nsure their security as collateral in loans' The forecast of the weekly another large addition to bank cash Estimates running from s11,O0O.000 up- wards.

Generally fair and cool weather has con- tinued in the southern districts. under the influence of a ridge of slightly above nor maj barometer extending from Texas north through the Dakotas. The low barometer area that was central over Ohio yesterday has moved slowly northeastward. it's center now being to the north of. Lake Ontario. It is still causing rains in the Ohio valley the Lake region, and along the north Att lantic coast, the rainfall at New York City in the past twenty-fo hours being 4.e2 inches. Fair weather prevails in the western dis tricts, though additional rain has fallen in the extreme northwest, under the combined influence of an area of low covering the Plateau region and a high" moving in over the Pacific coast.
 Temperatures have fallen somewhat in northern Florida. Georgia and the Carolinas, also in Nevada. Idaho. and Washington. have risen ton to twelve degrees in western Texas. and changed but slightly elsewhere. Conditions now favor fair weather in Alabama tonight and Saturday. and warmer Saturday.

There was in the spot prices of Montgom- ery's Cotton Market a sympathetic echo of the thuds with which contracts bumped painfully and rapidly down the stairway they had 50 agiiely escended but the day before. The price of middling, with which, fl one may be bunny. though not funny there had been no actual. effective meddling was called down an eighth. the nominal uuotatfons being 10 l-1sc, while for strict mtddling fair price for no trading was cuuutdered to be 10 a-Iec.
 Around the Board of Trade dope sheets were found to be as non-committal as pos eible on the bull side while the official writ CTS to his majesty, King Bear. were very cocky and spirited indeed. Bulls had by no meanas however. surrendered and they seem cd Sc feel confident that if they fell down the stairs they could go up again on the elevator. There was talk of fair business In MancheBter and a good undertone.
 But the market certainly was on the downward road. It opened down, kept on going down. and. though there was once quite q creditable rally 1t did not obtain long and the net loss brought New York 1uiys to 3.s3.

which was attached % a gas pipe.
The woman tainted before. she sue

Her daughter Winifred, years old.
ran out of the house and met her
father who tried to revive his wife.
In the meantime A neighbor called in
DR.. S. w. B. Leyenberger, who was
passing. and the latter found that the
woman was more frightened than any
thing else.
Mr.. Rourke said his wife had been
in sanatorium for several months
on account of general breaking down
of her nervous system
Two weeks ago he brought her home
and sent her TO some relatives in Con-
necticut until last week, and when
she, came back she appeared to be very
much distressed again, and although
the husband tried to cheer her up, she
became despOndent.
