Now York firm writes as follows : "The

fact of the decreasing stock in Europe , and

portant significance , which &hoald not be
jest sight of by buyers of refined und raw

more probable than before. As regards
crowing crops , the weather has thus ! far

A MAN WITH NERVE.
The Coolnccs of n. liawycr Saves Three
Persons I'roui a Mtxiilnc.
John F. J3urria , a San Francisco lawyer -
yor , had a rotnarkublo adventure with
a maniac client the other night near
the Agnew asylum for chronic insane
in Santa Clura valley. The details
juHt catno to light ta-niy. : Bays a dis
patch to the Globe-Democrat , and show
that Burris' uerva saved not only his
own life , but the lives of the physician
who accompanied him and the
maniac's wife. Burris went tea
a house near the * asylum to
see Henry Woibold , whoso wife
was suolng him for divorce ou the
grounds of insanity and cruelty. Burris
was the woman's counsel , uud wanted
nn expert opinion on Woibold'n insan
ity. Who n ho reached the place ho
found Mrs. Woibold greatly oxcitod.
She said Bho feurod violence from Jior
husband , who was in un ugly temper ,
und had threatened to kill her. Burria
wont in to see him , accompanied by the
wife and the doctor. Scarcely had they
entered the room when the lunatic , who
IB a man of huge pro pot-Monti , said quiet
ly , at the same time producing a pistol :
"Glad you came , us I've got to kill
you all. "
At the same time ho lovalod his revolver -
volvor ut Burris. The wife sank into a
chair while Dr. Haddon was HO over
come with frighti that ho tainted. 13ur-
rU coolly proposed that the miinlao
hoar a story buforo ho did the shooting ,
and the result wus that the lawyer told
ono of his best humorous anecdotes.
tVhen ho oudod thu lunatic said :
"That's a good story , but now 1'vo got
to kill you. "
Again Burris interposed and told n
blood-curdling tale of hunting ele
phants in India. The lunatic becumo
intorcstod , and demanded fresh stories ,
which the lawyer continued to furnish
until the night was fur gone , when the
raaniao finally fell asloop. Then the
tliroo persona oscuped from the room ,
and securing aid from the asylum au
thorities hud tlio madman arrested.
Forty horses , none of them loss than
sixteen hands high , were shipped from
New York to Havre recently , having
boon purchased by agents of the French
government.
Don't bo in any hurry about getting
your young horses shod , unless It
is entirely necessary. Their feet will
be all the hotter for running barefooted
as long as posaiblo.

The wires brought good buying 'orders from

nnd the northwest scorned to bo selling moro

record of prices. The black board continues
very bullish. At primary points receipts are

The tradmg'for a couple of hours was within

7ic was the quotation , und presently it
was .back under 77a The disposition to
Toalizo was strong , and many lulls could not
resist the temptation to secure profits.
Things have -not icon -coming - their
way lately The closing uricoof
July wheat "was 76o ; December was
fairly active month , with the prices ranging
fromTCX'to TTJfc , A tronger pressure was
put on December than on July , but the
sellers mot-pvith sturdy resistance , .De

on a liberal scale in the pit nucl were signifi

form better judgment as to crop probabilities.
The eovcrnment report will bo in Monday
nftornoonj'nnd that will probably exert nn
important influence. If it is a rollcx of the
actual crop situation , it should show n ma
terial reduction from the high conditions
prevailing. jiionth or six weeks ago.
The corn market averaged ilriiior , princi
pally owing1 to plenteous rains prevailing in
the corn beltnnd tlio sympathetic-fooling with
the strengthen wheat. The foreign markets
were quoted dull and the receipts hero wore

shippers to-day was not urgent , -although
the odor ings were bringing moro money In
sympathy with the speculative outlook.
There was a fair amount of trading for a
short time near the opening , but it then
lapsed into dullness and remained so. The
slight advance which prevailed nt the open

ures being substantially the same as on the
previous Uny.
Oats were stronger , exhibiting } o to J c

increased buying. There was no lack of

Now York exchange Is steady , wlUi a lair
domnnd nt 05@70o nor 51,000 , the close being
.at the inside. Foreign exchange ruled
rather nulut. A moderate number of bills
are being made , but the demand is not so
arisk , nnd nn easier feeling prevailed. Sixty
days' documentary sterling bills on London
sold t .SO@1.80Tho week in Wall
street was fraught with unusual uncertain
ties. The sudden movement of the govorn-
ng committee of the Now York exchange In
cutting on.quotationsfrom tlio tickers loft
Lho outside uubllc rather In the dark as to
Lho drift of sentiment. This mthorinnddlod
the public who depended upon continuous
quotations , and prevented them from trad
ing with n degrco of freedom that has
characterized the market lor several
weeks past , hence n largo part of the tran
sactions was confined to the room operators.
During the first part of the week business
fell off very perceptibly. As the trading
public became accustomed to the now order
of affairs , they-developed more disposition to
speculate. The flood disasters nnd heavy
loss of property in Pennsylvania made hold
ers nervous and created general desire to
realize. This resulted in sharp declines , nnd
induced the boars to sell short quite freely.
The increased earnings of the St. Paoi ,
.Burlington nnd Atchison systems , coupled
with the known existence of a largo short
.interest , induced the formation of bull pools
in.tlioso properties. Their operations sctrod
the shorts into covering , and boforo'-Uio
close-prices moved Tip sharply. The feature
of the trading was an increased Interest in
trusts , especially susar and lend. The for-
inenvas bought on .tho strong situation Tor
sugar , and reports of large earnings , and
prices advanced eicht points. Lend trusts
advanced over 5 points , the upward course
being materially augmented by the .purchase
of two manufactories at St. Zouls. On
bulges the liquidation was liberal , und reac
tions followed , but the constant absorption
of offerings caused the prices of the inost
nctivo properties to close higher than
the previous woelc. Bonds . -were fairly
active nnd steady. The aggregate transac
tions for the weelc were l,3UO00 ( ! shares.
"Under the circumstances , llio iiroduco
markets mny bo rcgnrdcd as having been
fairly nctivo during the wcelc Just closed.
The now order of thing ? regarding the dis
tribution of market quotations nnd the
destruction of telegrapuic wires by storms ,
tended to check speculative business slightly ,
nnd the damage to railroads by floods inter
fered somewhat with the shipping interests.
If anything , trading was somewhat enlarged
on outsiae account , especially inhcut , corn
and provisions ; wlillo loral operators were
not inclined to do .much business. The
weather bos been somewhat unsettled ;
rather wet and cool .in most regions
but no particular damage to grow *
ing crops has been reported1
Little improvement was made , howovon
as warm weather is now required. The
movement of grain to the leading western

tho'farmers are willing , in view of the favor

of grain to Canada and New "England und the
Middle States huvo been free , us the ship
pers are nnxious to move their supplies before -
fore the now crops come on the market , und
while the present freight rates can bo ob
tained. The visible supply of grain shows a decrease
crease in all kinds , excepting of corn. The tin-
port movement , showslittlo iiiiprovfmoiit.aud
rather liberal of corn nnd provisions ,
nnd moderate of other nrticlcs. Advices
from Europe indicate n favorable outloolc for
most of the growing crops in all the prin
cipal countries , excepting Kussia , aud the
markets in that quarter have shown some
weakness and further reduction In erica.
Stocks abroad wcro moderately larce , and
deliveries of home-crown grain have bean
rather froo. The changes Jn prices during
the week wcro confined within a compara
tively narrow run o , and Inclined in favor of
buyers. Speculators were transferring con
tracts ahead to some extent , and thu recent
decline m prices bus encouraged some buy
ing for investment.

the principal western packing points , and the
packing of bogs has bocu considerable In
creased during the wock. He turns for the
summer season so far show nil increuno of

HORRIBLE MURDERS.
How Suppose d Witchcrafta Punished
1 > 3' flio NittlvitM or India.
Ahorrlblo casoof murder /orsupposed
witchcraft 1& reported from tlio Depcun.
At n village in Cheiuiuir , .Tahiho , cer
tain shepherds were suspected by the
villagers , ana these'suspicions nc-
contimtcd in consequence of u be voro
epidemic of cholera.
Two of the su&pcutcd men worcsoiwd ,
solemnly tried anil rondonincd for
witchunift by the village commi&sion
and sentenced to bu tortured to death.
There , in the prcbonco of nil tlio vil
lagers , their teeth were o.\tnutcd : with
pinchers , and their heads ivisiv ) shaved.
Subsequently they were buried up to
their nocks , wood was pllod around
their heads , n flro was kindled , und
the skulU were rousted into powder.
Some thirty parsons have boon convicted
and sentenced to various terms of im
prisonment.
A similar case was recently tried at
Bombay. The accused imputed Uo )
death of hi& father , and mother , am' '
the lllnoss of certain mombard o ( his
fainily , to tlio arts of nn old woir.nn and
bent her to death with a thick , heavy
stick. These cusob are commonbut tire
rarely brought to the notice of thu
British authorities.
THE PHANTOM SHIP AGAIN.
It Una noon llopontoillr Soon in tbo
Vlclnltr of Illook Island.
For the first tlmo this year thd phan-
, om ship has boon sighted oft" IJlook
Island , says the Gape Anu dvortUor.
The peculiarity of this jvpponmnco
consists In its always bolng soon at
various points , with tlio saino roatilta In
the way of description. In 'other
words , the spectators nil tall about the
same story. This tiJfiht tiio jrroat
laze was witnessed by n. lady nt Noyos
Beach , two ftonllomon nt Watoh Illll ,
several members of a family In Charles
ton , nnd BO on. No ono hns yet boon
able to account for this wonderful
sipht. It rooms like ship on tire , nnd
s L'ononilly visible for some minutes.
Did residents of llhodo Island claim
hut It IB thu ho4t of the throa-muatod
schooner from Holland , which was led
.o . destruction ever a century ntf6 by
the wicked Block Islluidors. The crow
ivas murdered , the vessel pluu-
lorcd and burnod. Sir an go as
t may Eocm , the theory of
.ho phantom ship is bald by many intol-
Ig-onl persons. Whlttlor's poem on this
incnnny appnarnnoo is ono of tha most
joruitlJul tliincrs in the Innjrun o. The
Spook Schoouor , as ono of tha 'iialtvo '
calls tlris curtouas Ight , Is said to make
ts appearance usually shortly ull r n
storm. _
