A change for the better in the tone of the Eng fish market, the contipued drouth in Texas, reports of more business doing In the cotton goods markets of the country and that mills were running longer hours at several important centers, both north and south. were the main reasons for the steadiness.F
 Around the opening prices were 4 to points up, after which there was drop to levels 1 to points under the close of yesterday under liquida- tion from the long side, induced by reports of rains and cooler weather in Oklahoma and the hope that this sort of weather might extend uown into Texas. A little later the market felt more determined buying anj it gradually did better until in the early afternoon the trading months were 14 to 16 points higher than the final prices of yesterday. October traded as low as 12 64c in the early part Of the session ard later rose to l3 S6c, the trading months showed net gains on the day of to Is points
 The forecast of fair weather for the entire cotton region had something to do with the late steadiness. while fair weather was regarded as desirable in the eastern belt. 1t was considered to be highly detrimental to the Texas crop.

Alleged Four-Year Acquaint- ance Between Hall and Miss Henderson Leads Up to the
 Killing of Pretty Woman

Russeifville, August 9.-(Special) ) At late hour tonight the Franklin county grand jury were still in scs- sion, and at least two more important witnesses remained to be examined before the indictment charging Fred R. Hall with the murder of Martha Henderson on the evening of April l2 could be returned The grand jury has been in session since Mon day morning. and the Hall Henderson case was the first to be taken up hy that body. It was rumored about the indictment would be forthcoming before adjournment of the jury this afternoon. A large number of wit nesses have been summoned to tes- tify at the trial, the date of which is not yet known, but Is expected to be set for an early date, or as soon as the grand jury makes its report. Hall has been confined in the Frank lin county jail since the killing of Miss Henderson early in April and the case has attracted wide attention.
 old Acquaintance
 The shooting of Miss Henderson by Fred K. Hall. prominent merchant or this city. was the ending of four year acquaintance which had many ups and downs, and while the trag- edy caused much excitement many expressed their opinion as not being surprised at the ending.
 It will be remembered by those ia
 <1xr a lt Hall met Martha Henderson in Shelf field more than four years ago, ac- cording to officers. Since that time Hall and Miss Henderson have had many and various difficulties prior to the shooting of Miss Henderson in this city on the evening of April l2, The first information of trouble to reach this city was by long dis tance telephone from Nashville, Tenn, where Miss Henderson was under arrest, and demanding that Hall come to her rescue by first train. This was in the fall Of 1915.
 Firm Fails
 In 1920, the firm of Hall Brothers & Co. department store in this city failed, and closed it's doors At that time Miss Henderson was supposed to be stopping at Sheffield hotel, and shortly after the store of Hall was closed the Henderson woman made her appearance in this city. Her appearance at that particular time caused much excitement ana comment
 In the summer of 1920 more trou ble arose between Hall and Miss Henderson in Washington, D. :, where Miss Henderson was arrested and tried in the city courts for the alleged theft of an automobile be- longing to Hall. Reports from Wash {, ington stated that Hall had parKeo his automobile in front of horei and that after an all night chase Miss Henderson was arrested Tn Vir- rinia. and the car was recovered Hall admitted to the Washington police that he had given the woman S20o a few days previous when srs

IRREGULAR CLOSE MARKET THE MAIN
 STOCK FEATURES
In the Late Trading Rails Based Off With the Re- # mainder of the
 Stock List
Bv AHsooiated Press

New York August s.--After a modest rise, the stock market today eased off on selling of industrials, closing heavy with irregular changes mostly of small consequences.
 Trading showed the lack of convic- ton on the part of the speculative community which has been charac- teristic recently. Although the feel ing in the street as to the general outlook has undergone a distinct i'm provement In the last few weeks, i'm mediate prospects still were regarded too obscure to justify heavy commit ments.
 Trading in consequence was light. In one hour today sales were limited to approx mately 10000 shares.
 At the opening there was some buying of rails which raised quota tions in varius instances one to two points. Reports of better earnings, and expectations of an agreement without great delay as to payment of the sum due the roads, period of government control lent temporary strength to these issues.
 In the late trading the rails eased off with the remainder of the list. Selling on the decline centered in the oils, motors and equipments
 Foreign exchange reacted sharply after yesterdays violent upturn Sterling broke seven cents from yes- terday's high level, which seemed to confirm the assumption that the rise was due to speculative operations, Other exchange declined in sympa- thy. Call money remained at six per cent.
 The demand for bonds was affected by continuance of firm money rates. Investment issues. as we'll as those of speculative character lost ground with selling taking in wide variety of mortgages. North ern Pacific 4s, Southern Railway Is and 5s, Union Pacific 4s,, United States Steel 5s, Wabash 5s, Baltimore and Ohio convertibles and Rock Island refunding fours were con spicuously heavy. Total sales par value s12,95o.ooO. Liberty bonds par Irregular.

Fresh Upturn In Wheat on Expected Bullish Gouernment Report.
Rr As.nciated pr...

Chicago, August 9.-Active export demand, coupled with correct antici- patton that the government crop re- port would prove bullish. brought a fresh upturn today in the value of wheat The finish, although unset tied, was 1K@2c net higher. Corn gained 1s @ Ac to 7sc. and oats A O %c. Provisions closed unchanged to 2hc higher.
 New export business in wheat was estimated s high as 100000 bush els, but the effect of this total was emphasized by cable dispatches tell ing of new efforts for worldwide re- lief of the Russian famine. Besides, throughout the session the belief was general that the government report would confirm private estimates showing that production had fallen far short of what had been expected a month ago.
 Other bullish factors were small ness of winter wheat offerings, slow ness of the spring crop movement and the fact that first returns from threshing in Canada failed to come up to expectations. Realizing sales, however, caused the market to sag little at the last.
 Corn and oats averaged higher with wheat despite the big corn crop in sight and the. huge visible sup ply of oats. Provisions were firm as a result of the strength of grain and hogs.

HUnBARD's LETTER

New York, August Especial )- Due to the early favorable Liver- pool cables our market opened to 4 points higher. Later the break in sterling exchange caused some little selling, which eased the market off 6 to ' points under last nights close We still continue to hear unfavorable crop news particularly from Georgia and Texas, Texas being badly in need of rain. The weather bureau report ed l7 stations with temperatures be- tween 100 and 104.
 On every decline this morning it was noticeable that there was fair trade demand, cotton being absorbed very rapidly. The local traders were inclined to be bearish and sold on the advance. Together our market re- mained steady and threw off the pres- sure that was evident yesterday. One of the largest mills of New England reports they are working full time, while q western wholesale dry goods concern says the demand for the goods Is improving. with more in quiries and numerous new customers.
