Much parade was made Monday of alleged conversion of some of the leading bear operators on the New York Stock Exchange to the bull side of the market. Yesterday's developments prove that there is a very large and agressive contingent still left in the market. The operation known in the Wall-street parlance as testing the market had for several days failed to cause any marked movement in either direction. That is to say, short selling by the bears had failed to induce any large liquidation and purchases by the bulls had equally failed to invite any large followers. Skilled observers had arrived at the conclusion that the market was due for a period of dullness, barring the development of some markedly significant news. The hardening of prices Monday night and the further advance yesterday morning looked like a termination of the bear campaign. Yet in the two final hours of the market yesterday the bears succeeded in working a sharper decline throughout the whole list than has been accomplished on any one day of their campaign. They had no new event which could influence the values of stock to aid them and no report of any cessation in the Improvement of the earning power of properties the shares in which are dealt in on the exchange. The nominal motive of the selling was the fear that our relations with Spain wrere in danger of rupture as an outgrowth of the policy which General Woodford was ordered to pursue at Madrid. The dispatch from Madrid carrying the semi-official announcement of the substance of Spain’s reply, it was feared, would force President McKinley to take action that would lead to a- declaration of war. Apprehension on this point became so acute that large amounts of long stock were offered and numerous stop-loss orders were uncovered which gave success to the bears. Several ineffectual attempts were made to stem the decline, but rallies were only momentary, and fresh heavy offers kept the liquidation to the close of the day. Last prices were in many cases the lowest, and the tone of the market at the last was very feverish. Losses on the day extend all the way from a fraction to over four points, the range' in the leading active stocks being from 2 to 4 points. Chicago Gas and the grangers were most heavily dealt in, and showed the sharpest declines. The bond market showed Increased activity and shared in the weakness of the stock market, though to a less extent. Total Bales. $2,450,000. United States new fours were advanced % bid.

THE BOTTOM FELL OUT ♦ WEAK CABLES AND LARGE INCREASE SENT WHEAT DOWN. Corn and Oat* Followed the Slump in the Leader, and Yellow Fever News Depressed Fork. eCHICAGO, Oct. 12.—1 t was a day of liquidation in the grain and provision markets. The government crop report was especially prominent. Weak cables and a large visible increase also affected wheat, which closed at a I&@l%C decline. Corn lost %c, oats %c and provisions, which had discouraging yellow fever news to contend with, declined 20c for pork and s(gloc for lard and ribs. Wheat was quite weak at the opening. December, which closed yesterday at 91%® 91%c, started to-day at 90%®90%c. The government statement in its October report that the estimate of area and condition of wheat was withheld pending special investigation was given a bearish construction by the trade. It was taken as notice that the previous estimate of area was to be increased. This and the weaker tone at Liverpool, which market opened %©%d lower and the local decline in corn made the trade bearish. Despite the weakness in Liverpooi the French markets were firmer and there were indications of continued French buying at the seaboard. The Northwestern receipts showed a marked falling off. Duluth and Minneapolis received 1,267 cars, against 1,509 cars a week ago and 1,433 cars the corresponding day last year. Notwithstanding the bearish temper of trade, the market declined very slowly. It even sold up a trifle shortly after the opening, December advancing to 90%®91c. By 11 o’clock it was selling around 90c. As the day advanced, however, it became decidedly unpleasant for holders of wheat. The Bradstreet statement showed an increase in the world’s visible of 8,212,000 bushels for the week, where an increase of not over 3,000,000 was expected. This caused renewed selling, December declining to 89%c under decidedly free liquidation. The Liverpool closing was %(gld lower than yesterday and the continental markets, which had been strong at the outset, closed at siight declines. There was nothing in the day’s record of wheat movement to discourage a holder. Primary markets received 1,319,000 bushels, against 1,540,000 bushels a year ago. The Atlantic exports equalled 770,000 bushels. New York reported export engagements of fifty boatloads. After the effect of the Bradstreet statement had been spent the tenor of the news seemed to change. There were denials that the Argentine drought had been broken and renewals of assertions of damage by locusts. Very strong local buying attended these bullish reports and a gradual recovery in prices ensued. December was bringing 90%c at the close. Corn was very weak on account of government crop report. This indicated a total yield of 1,520,0u0,‘J00 bushels or fully 100,000,000 bushels more than trade had estimated it and severe liquidation was the consequence. The shipping demand showed no improvement notwithstanding the break in prices. Liverpool cables were %®%d lower, an additional depressing factor. Receipts were Sl7 cars. There was a partial rajiy late in the session in sympathy with wheat. December ranged fiom to 27%c, closing %o lower at 27%®28e. In oats the government report was the most influential feature and was mainly responsible for the decline in prices. A yield of 722,000,000 bushels is expected, or 40,000,000 bushels more than indicated in September. That, together with the weakness of wheat and corn, caused liberal selling by professionals. Offerings were quite readily absorbed. The market experienced a slight rally when wheat made its final recovery. Receipts were 427 cars. December ranged from 19%c to 18%c and closed %c lower, at 19c bid. Provisions started s’rorg in sympathy with an advance in W., .. ,cs. The slight advance disappeared at once under free selling by English houses, who found it difficult to dispose of their offerings. Discouraging yellow fever nows and the extreme weakness of the grain markets caused the market to rule weak until near the close, when the price recovered a little. At the close December pork was 20c lower, December lard 5c lower at $4.22% and December ribs 7-%@loc lower at $4.40.

BOSTON, Oct. 12.—The wool market has shown a quieter tone this week, although prices are held firmer for most classes of wools. Territory wools still head the list in the amount of business transactions and the price is a trifle higher, taking the market as a whole. About 50c, scoured, for fine medium and fine is the generally established price in the market. Staple wools would go higher, but the supply is very meager, the demand for Australian wools continues, with full prices obtainable.

C 64 74 68 THE COURT RECORD. Supreme Court. 18081. Frammel vs. Frammel. Huntington C. C. Affirmed. Monks, J.—l. The general rule is: That when a will is made, ail previous advancements are extinguished, unless the same were saved by the will, upon the ground that the testator has graduated his legacies with reference to such prior advancements. 2. When a testator provides that upon the happening of certain contingencies his property shall descend the same as if his will had been made by him, prior advancements to heirs are to be taken into account in the division of his estate. * 17872. Bullerdick vs. Wright. Wayne C. C. Reversed. Jordan, J.—l. When a testator has been vested with the power of disposition over property, his intent to execute such power may be shown in the following manner: (a) WYiefe he refers to, or recites the power in the will; (b) where the prop* t rty or thing or fund subject to be disposed of under the power is described; (c) where the will would be inoperative without acting on the property over which the testator is given the power of appointment. These illustrations do not furnish the only proof; but they furnish clear and unequivocal proof of the intention to exercise the power. 2. It is not essential to refer in express terms to the power if an Intention to execute it otherwise plainly appears, and any words or expressions indicating an intention to exercise the power will operate to that effect. 3. Where a testator devises property to his wife, giving her the power of disposition of the same by will, and she in turn executes a will wherein it recites that the testatrix makes "it in pursuance of and more fuly to carry out the provisions of the last will of my late husband,” it will be presumed that she intended to exercise the power conferred upon her. 18151. Old National Bank vs. Heckman. Vanderburg S. C. Reversed. McCabe, C. J. —l. Where a person takes a mortgage to secure the payment of a debt due him, such mortgage is for the sole benefit of the mortgagee. His failure to enforce it cannot injure the mortgageor. 2. Where defendant dismissed its paragraph of cross-complaint, setting up its second mortgage for foreclosure, seeking priority over a first mortgage, in open court abandoned all rights secured to it by said mortgage, and offered to cancel the same, and relied wholly upon a judgment for the amount embraced in said mortgage, which judgment was set up in a second paragraph of cross-complaint and seeking to avoid the first mortgage for fraud, it relieved itself from the effect any recital contained in the abandoned mortgage to the effect that the same was a junior lien. 18221.
