PRH OF IKON STKONG General Condition of the Markets Reported as Favorable, GOOD DEMAND FOR MONEY. i Wheat and Cotton Ara Higher—Dnnn & Co. Hear » Rumor of a Cut In Iron at Pittsburg — Bradstreet’s Thinks That Prloes For Wheat Will Be Much Higher. Failure* For the Week. New York, Sept. 28.—R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade, today say: The speculation in cotton has lifted the price % during the past week and quotations here are so much higher than at Liverpool that free exports cannot be expected. It seems no longer possible to hope for a good crop. The .accounts of injury and loss grow more dismal each week, and while they may be somewhat exaggerated, the general outlook is decidedly unfavorable. The wheat market has been excited without much discoverable reason, and the price has advanced over 5 cents for ' spot and ceuts for December deliv- ; eries. It may be said that crop pros- i pects abroad are not quite as favorable as they were a mouth ago, and with a short supply at best in this country, the market is liable to be unusually sensitive. Holders of corn here judiciously declined to “sympathize” with wheat to a great extent, and the price is practically unchanged. PorKhnd hog products are somewhat lower. - ,■ Nothing is clear about iron and. steel manufactures, but some of the largest • Pittsburg concerns, professing to have orders for many months ahead, are bid- • ding for small contracts in eastern mar- 1 kets at $1 to $1.50 per ton less than the i quoted rates. Failures for the week have been 216 j in the United States against 235 last ! year, and 50 iu Canada against 55 last year. Demand For Money Increasing. New York, Sept. 28. —Bradstreet’s •ays today: Striking features of the week are increased demand for money east and west, the maintenance of the widespread and active demand for iron and steel and the further upward movement of the price of raw cotton, ‘together with advances in quotations for wheat flour, wheat and wool. The advance in the price of wheat on reported damage to the crop in Argentine may or may not. be the beginning of an upward movement, but accepted statistics concerning supplies of wheat in this country, if not discredited in the near future, may compel wheat prices to follow in the footsteps of those for iron. Telegrams from widely different points seem to indicate a very general intention on the part; of spring wheat < producers to hold their wheat for higher prices. Wheat exports from bothcoasts of the United States and from Montreal this week (wheat flour as wheat; are 3,151,000 bushels, the largest since last March, against 2,538,000 bushels last week, and 2,562,000 bushels in the week one year ago. •y AM A THIEF.” Two Employe* of a Chicago Firm Chouse to Wear Placards. Chicago, Sept. 28.—Two young men who had been employed in the wholesale hardware house of Hibbard, Spen-cer,-Bartlett & Co. were detected in stealing small packages from consigned goods. “Will yon go to jail?” Mr. Hibbard asked them, “or will you consent to wear hanging from your necks during the remainder of the day these placards I have prepared for you?” They chose the placards, on each of which in large letters was printed, “I am a thief.” The cards were hung from their necks and the two young men were led through the entire establishment, where all the employes might read the printed confessions of dishonesty. Mr. Hibbard thinks this method of punishment is cheaper, speedier and more effective than a resort to the courts. Sontliern Illinois Apple Crop. Clay City, Ills., Sept. 28.—The secretary of the Fruitgrowers’ Association of Southern Illinois, from reports on the apple crop in Southern Illinois, estimates that the crop will not exceed 71 per cent of the crop of 1890, but states that the acreage of bearing orchards has increased 18 per cent since then. The growers are not disposed to accept the low prices offered by buyers, and many are preparing to store their apples and market them later. The quality of the apples now on the trees is much superior to the apples raised in this section heretofore. Young Girl Butchered. San Francisco, Sept. 22.—Advices from Australia state that the people of 1 Sydney have been startled by the atrocious murder of a young girl on the night of Sept. 1. At midnight on a wharf was left a bbx containing the body of young woman. She had been scientifically butchered, the corpse soaked in carbolic acid and the remains then crushed into a drygoods box. The identity of the girl has not been discovered. Corean Minister Dead. Washington, Sept. 28.—A cablegram received by the state department yesterday announced the death in Corea of Ye Sung Su, the Corean minister to tho United States, The minister has been absent from his post for nearly a year, having returned to Corea at the beginning of the troubles in that country whidh led to the war. He died of cholera. Assumption to Have Water Works.

A Collapse in the Incln.'ry Canned by the Competition of Florida. The phosphate mining Interests of 1 Canada are in a state of utter collapse I at present, and to remedy this state of affairs the Canadian Mining association, which meets In Quebec, proposes to endeavor to Induce the Dominion and pro- ■ vinclal governments to Introduce the I general use of phosphate fertilizers on Canadian farms through the agency of the experimental farms, says a Quebec special. As an illustration of the stagnation of this branch of mining, It may be mentioned that three years ago 3,000 men were employed in phosphate mining In Ottawa county alone, while today not three-score men are engaged. The cause of the collapse fifths competition In the English markets of ’ the phosphates of Algiers and the highgrade product of Florida, which can be ' worked and marketed much more cheaply. The mining men point out i that lands in Georgia have advanced price- from $3 to S3O an acre through : the use of fertilizers. Many, In fact i most, of the farms of Quebec have been exhausted by the wasteful and unscientific farming of the habitants, and so the necessity of doing something to improve their farming methods, and thus relieve the phosphate miners, will be pressed upon the government. Phosphate was mined extensively In Canada untli recently. The principal mines were in Ottawa county, and the output averaged from 20,000 to 35,000 tons. The higher grades were shipped to Europe and the lower found a market in the United States, The large profits led to the opening of new mines, and considerable of a boom took place. The excitement culminated In the formation of the General Phosphate Corporation, Limited, with a capital of £1,000,000, and 2,660 acres were acquired In Ottawa county at an outlay of £98,000. High-salaried and inexperienced men were engaged both In London and at the mines. Then followd the develop<i ment of high-grade phosphates in Florida and the flooding of the European markets therewith-caused a big drop in the price ofCanadian phosphates. The mines were compelled to suspend or reduce operations, and the shipments fell from 30,000 tons In 1889 to 6,000 tons in 1894. This year there is practically nothing do(pg. “While down in the southwestern part of the state some time ago,” says Mr. W. Chalmers, editor of the Chico (Cal.) Enterprise, “I had an attack of dysentery. Having heard of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy I bought a bottle. A couple of doses of it completely cured me. Now lam a champion of that remedy for all stomach and bowel complaints.” For sale by Blackburn & Miller, druggists. o Yelled Prophets, St- Louis, JJaesflay, Oct. Sth. - Clover Leaf, (T-, St. L. & K.

VERY WEAK DEFENSE. Complete Failure of Durrant’s Attorney to Secure Favorable Evidence. DEFENDANT INDIFFERENT. Pecnllar Cnndnet of Mr*. Durrant, the J Mother of the Accoaed—-The Hln.haw Marder .Trial —Attorney Hogart Makes a Strong Preaentatiou of the Young Minister’* Case —Lack of Motive. San Francisco, Sept. 28.—1 f Theodore Durrant has anything tangible upon which to base his denial of the charge that he murdered Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams his attorneys have failed to give satisfactory evidence of the fact. After two days devoted to the testimony of the defense, the trial was adjourned at noou yesterday until next Tuesday. | In the meantime, however, the defense has disclosed enough to satisfy the prosecution that Durrant’s attorneys are groping in the dark in the hope that something may develop within the next few days to save the prisoner’s life. The weakness of the defense is made more apparent on account o .’he extravagant as-ertions that Dnrraui'.i attorneys have in ale since the trial be ;an. Dr. Cheney, who was expected to tell so much for the defense, was as strong a witness for the prosecution as has taken the stand during the trial. Instead of fulfilling Duprey’s statement ami swearing that Durrant attended a lecture at Cooper Medical college ou ’ April 3, he said he had no recollection of seeing tho young medical student there. The denial dumfounded the defense. The only thing proven was that Durrant’s name was on the rollbbok. The apparent hopelessness of his case, however, has produced no’change in the demeanor of Durrant. Day after day he sits iu the courtroom bes.dj his father and mother and listens to the evidence against him without a sign of emotion. This stoicism on the part of the prisoner is only suppassed by that of his mother. Mrs. Durrant seems to have no conception of the gravity of her son’s situation. Attired in waving plumes and a tailormade gown such as a lady might wear at a matinee, she laughs and chats with her friends while the evidence that the prosecution believes will hang her son is being put in against him. To frequenters of the courtroom, Mrs. Durrant’s conduct is almost as unfathotiiable as that of her sou. Durrant’s father, however, looks careworn and gives evidence of the intense mental strain through which he must be passing. ADDRESSING THE JURV. Strong Presentation of the Defense In the Hinshaw Marder Trial. Danville, Ind., Sept. 28.—E. O. Hogate, for the defense, occupied the most of yesterday in the Hinshaw murder trial. The largest morning crowd of the trial was out to hear Mr. Hogate’s argument, and he made a strong presentation of the defendant’s case. He laid great stress upon Hinshaw’s unblemished character aud the lack of harmony in the stories of the state’s witnesses, calling especial attention to the disagreements between the state’s two experts, Drs. Fletcher and Morrison. The lack of the motive for the crime was also pointed out, the attorney saying: “Crimes are not committed by sane men without a motive. It is not always necessary to show motive. If I see a man purposely and deliberately take the life of another the motive for doing it is immaterial; but where the evidence is entirely circumstantial the motive is not only material,'but controlling. What is the motive here? Was the defendant tired of his wife? There 1 is nd evidence of it; the evidence all points the other way. Was the deed done for the hope of gain? There is no evidence of it. He was prosperous, contented, happy in his work and-happy in his married' life. But they say there was a woman in the case, and that the desire to possess this woman impelled him to take the life of ins wife. How miserably, miserably, the state has failed in this.” Once Wealthy, But Now Penniless. ' Cincinnati, Sept. 28.—Frank Turner, the oldest butcher in this city and at one time worth nearly SIOO,OOO, made application yesterday to go to the city infirmary. Turner is 89 years old. Some years ago a woman named Gray died and left Turner $50,000. He spent this money and his own fortune in dissipation, and today he is a total wreck. He hud not been for some years, and many he was dead. He was one of the best known nien in the city at one time and was a Sampson physically. Contracts For Two Torpedoboats.' Washington, Sept. 28. — Secretary Herbert yesterday awarded to the Herreshoff Manufacturing company the contract for building two of the new torpedoboats authorized by the act <jf the fast congress. Mr. Herreshoff was the lowest bidder at sll-1,000 for each boat. The third boat will g& to Moran Brothers of Seattle, if the department is satisfied of their ability to do the wori, Will wot tirant tne Increase. Cleveland, Sept, 28.—The Massillon opera,tors field a meeting here yesterday to take action upon the demand made by the miners a few days ago for an increase oft) cents per ton.? The miners threatened to strike in case their demand was not granted. The operators decided to stand by the Columbus agreement. which means that the increase will not be granted on Oct. 1. It may be later, however. General Harrison’s Literary Work, Indianapolis, Sept. 28. — General Harrison is devoting himself daily to an important series of literary articles which he contracted for while in the east last spring. The work is to take the shape of magazine articles which will have for their aim the enfightment of women upon national questions and giving them a clearer ooni eption of government affairs.
