THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : DAY , JANUARY 2o , 1893.
COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Wheat Ruled Strong and Olwcd at a Bub-
staiitial Advance.
IT WAS DUE TO SPECULATIVE BUYING
Tint Trade * In Corn Were HIlRhtlr Under
the rlnnl ( Jitntntlonn for Monday ,

CIIICAOO , III. . Jnn. 24-Wllh much todopress
prices mid nothing In * lpit ! to encourage buyIng -
Ing , thu whcnt market ruled strong nnd closed
lit an mlvnnra of ! < c after u wenk opening.
Corn nnd oats were dull but firmer and gained
about Ue In corn und Uc In oats. Provisions
wi-ro fulrly steady nnd generally allttlo lower.
The sUcngth In whotit was duo to specula-
tlvo buying by a Rood many shorts , who had n
satisfactory profit , whllo there was a pretty
fair Investment demand also. A good deal of
this buying was attributed to Now Vork opcr-
nlots , who arc supposed to bo already long. A
ilown-tnrn In prices at thoMartwasattrilmtcd
to the fact ( lint cables came easier nnd the
local receipts weio In excess of the estimates.
The receipts In thu northwest wcro small
twenty-six cars at Diiluth and 185 ut Mimic-
npolls. This was accounted for by Ihu ln'
storms , Ono notablu feature has been thu
gradual narrowing of the difference botwuen
July ami May , nnd today they cnmu together.
July IM expected by some to rcaen a premium
of from 2 to 3c per bu. The opening was about
the mint ) asiycsteiday's closing to a sliiido
lower , cased oil another fraction and the In-
hhlo point was fiom ! ii' to ° ic lower than yes
terday's closing , then became Mrongor and
prices went advanced 1 ' . ( c , ruled firm and the
closing was fiom uc to ' / c higher than yesler-
In corn , flrsl trades woio slightly under the
final iiiolalloiis | f .r yesloiday , and upon sellIng -
Ing by a piomlneiit local trailer holding bear
ish views , declined .c moie , but rallied later ,
n good ( leiiiiind springing up at the ilecllno ,
iiumeions buying orders coming to Imiul , a
good shaic of which were from the southwest
- St. l.onlsand Kansas City. The innrkut was
mlvnnerd from 'tc to ? ie and was fairly well
maintained for a while , eased oil' a trifle , ruled
llrm and closed with fiom V' to He gain.
Oats weienot tory actives some early weak
ness was due so Increased oll'erlngs , but after
they had become absorbed Hie market becamii
Btrongorand advanced from U < ; to ? .c. Ke-
celpts overran the estimates.
'I ho hog receipt" , as reported from the yards ,
were 21,1)00 head , as bail been estimated , and
the mm lid was quoted llrm at first , and lalcr
aster,111 yesterday's prices. That was about
the day's record In piovlslons also. I'liiclua-
tlons were less violent Ilinn yesterday , l.ard
Marled with a gain of 2io ! , and ribs with a IDS *
of that amount.

Special to Tin : HKK.1 The stock markets to
day have presented a moro or less unfavorable -
blo appearance , new business having been
checked , whllo realizations have been
numerous In view of the settlement which
commences tomorrow. Funds are unchanged.
After opening 1 1-10 to l' per cent lower
Indian rupee paper has given way u per cent ,
owing to u slight reduction In the price of
silver. American railways have experienced
almost a general relapse owing to thu number
of realizations ; at the same tlmo the lone. Is
bail as a whole. Northern I'aclllc preference
has given way l'i per cent , Atchlson
Income bonds , Norfolk . \\estern preferunco

been dull and neglected all day. Canadian
I'aclllc and (1 rand Trunk preferences leave elf

ties have been vorymilct. Mining shares have
again been neglected and prices are Inclined to

Niw : YoitK , Jan. 24.--Tho stock market was
less active today and showed signs of growing
narrower , being feverish and Irregular
tliroughout the day , rullectlngtho uncertainly
of thti situation and the hesitation of opera
tors , The buying sentiment seems .to have
iH-cn dampened and the transactions of the
Stuck exchange havu again gone back to their
late professional character. The bulls In
different siu'clatllcs woru still active , their
efforts today In Heading and Union I'aclllc at
tracted some attention , though resulting jrj
only u partial success.
The Industrial stocks again became the spo-
clal feature of the market , though as a result
tin ) financial changes were reduced to frac
tional amounts. Consolidated fins sustained
a loss of 3 > j per cent after a rally of l' ( per
cent from Its lowest price , being the only
marked exception. Distillers continued to bo
the foaturoof the market and In the early
ti-adlng It showed u loss of something over 1
percent on continued pressure to realize. In
the Into trading there was u rally from 49 > { to
G2 , but realizations ou this rlso sent it buck
to 50 % , at which point It showed a gain for
tUo Uuy of 5 % porccuu HUM York and North-
ern preferred opened up at 1'J ' per cent nnd
Manhattan at I j , but both declined mater
ially , Manhattan nearly 3 per rent and a par *
tlal rally at the close was stifllclont only to
bring them up to last night's prices ,
Uallroad Hocks were again comparatively
neglected , but rumors In regard to the Inten
tions of the Heading management as to their
policy In Nuw England caused a generous rlso
In Nuw Dituland slock , but thu Improvement
was not held , and > t per rent marked the final
gain In that stock. 1 ho Susanehanna & West
ern stocks lo.st a large portion of their Into
gains , but no real weakness was .seen , and the
llnal changes are Irregular and for fractional
amounts other than those mentioned , tbu mar
ket closing fairly active and steady after the
lain rally.
Thu Post says ; Thn volunio of trading shows
a material falling oir and the Inlliienco of thu
professional trader was again the dominant
fuclor In the market which was almost wholly
In their hands. London bought and sold with
out Inlltlencu upon pi Ices.

lor u TiieHday.
OMAHA , Jan. 24 , ltecelpts of all kinds were
liberal even for a Tuesday. The two days'
supply foots up 0,180 cattle , 9,071 hogs and
l.H'Jrt ' sheep , as against ti,581 cattle , H.O42 ho s
and 1,011 sheep Monday and Tuesday of last
weok.
There was a moderate amount of activity In
the cattle trade. Although receipts were com
paratively largo they wore rather llghler than
anticipated , and aseastern markets were re
ported in good shape there was a very re-
siiectUblo shipping and speculative Inquiry for
the more deslrablo grades. These sold at
strong prices , good lo cholco 1.2OD to 1,400 Ib.
steers selling at from $4.05 lo $5.25 , The general
run of steers , however , were not very brisk
sale , whllo prices were barely steady around
$4.OO and 4.25. I'alr to poor grades were
rather neglected and lower at from $3.85 or
down. Aside from the best , cattle business
was a trltlo slow and whllo buyers did not suc
ceed In obtaining any very liberal concessions
the feeling was rather \yuak throughout , al
though a tolerable clearance as effected.
The cow market was very uneven , Iluyers
called Itsliongoron everything uhllo sellers
generally icported a dull t ratio on the medlun
grades with the prices Inclined to droop. I'oor
to very good cows and heifers sold at fron
$1.75 io3uO with the bulk of the f.itr to goo <
stuff at from $2.35 to $2.85. Hulls , o.xen am.
stags werocenerally unchanged at from $2.00
to (3,50. Common largo lo cholco veal calves
sold at from f'-.oo to $5.30 or not quotably itlf
fere i it from yeslerday. *
There wa- not the usual amount of activity
to the stockcr and feeder trade and regulai
dealers reported an easier feeling on all but
the best grades. The volume of trading was
as usual , rather restricted , but price. * shovtci
up very little. If any , lower than Monday , tlu
bulk of the fair to good stuff selling at fron
$3.00 to $3.50 , Itepresentatlvo suits ;

SAVED HER LOVER'S ' LIFE.
It was a case of phenomenal interest.
Two young follows of good birth , com
panions sineo childhood , had set them
selves to earn fame and fortune , or the
latter at least , in their native place :
Albert Musgravo as an artist , and Her
bert Cadson as a. doctor.
Their layo.- for each other was
brotherly ; yet love proved the gulf
which separated them. Both had been
fascinated with the charms of a suiiny-
hn.ired , bright-eyed , laughing picture of
beauty.
One morning people were horrified
with the report of murder. Musgravo
had been shot in his studio.
A revolver was found on the table a
few inches from the dead body. The
bullet , which after passing through his
head had lodged in the wall opposite ,
exactly fitted the chamber , and was pre
cisely similar to the others which the
revolver contained.
Both revolver and cartridges wore
proved to have been .bought bv Cadson
within twenty-four hours of the crime.
Ho was known to have been at the house
nt the time of the murder , as nearly as
possible.
The general evidence against him was
so overwhelming there could bo no doubt
of the issue. The prisoner hud con
demned himself by his own admissions ,
yet ho emphatically asserted his inno
cence.
The eventful day of the t.-ial came.
The breathless hush of suspense was op
pressive. Presently a door opened
Twelve men solemnly took their beats.
"Guilty or not guilty ; " '
"Guilty ! "
A piercing shriek , awful from its bur
den of agony , rang through the court.
Edna's unconbcious form was borne out.
For the first time the prisoner quailed.
Throughout the trial ho had behaved
with almost callous coolness.
The sentence of death was passed , the
judge being fccarcely audible amidst
women's sobs.
One person alone seemed unaffected.
With the quiet demeanor of a hero
Herbert folded his arms to receive his
doom without a quiver.
Air. Carter , Herbert's solicitor , was
disturbed in his olllcc by a young lady
whom ho at lirst failed to recognize as
Kdna.
Her large eyes looked larger from
their shrunken sockets. The licrce ,
determined expression of her face
made tin ) old lawyer betray his sur
prise in spite of himself. Was this the
airy , smiling creature of a few days ngoV
bho had aged years.
Ho invited her to a scat , then inquired
the object of her visit.
"To free Herbert Cadson. Ho is inno
cent and I have discovered the cul
prit. "
The lawyer looked at her , but would
not speak.
"Perhaps you think mo mad. Well , I
have been not far from it. While you
men have iiltied nnd wondered , I , a wenk
woman , Have worked. "
' Have you any evidence of your statement
" '
ment ;
"Ample. The murderer has a foot two
inches longer than Herbert's. Ho wore a
'pair of old goloshes with a cut across
the left sole. Herbert never possessed
such things. On that night ho wore a
light suit ; the other fellow wore a dark
tweed suit , with a red thread , rather a
peculiar kind of material , lighter in
weight and cheaper. "
"How in the name of all that is ra
tional did you learn all this ? "
"Thereby hangs a talo. T believed
Herbert to bo innocent. Common sense
told mo crime always leaves a traeo for
those wlio have eyes to see.
"No one ever sought. They were sat
isfied with Huporllelal appearances.
Knowing the Inndlord , I obtained per
mission to see the houfco. I searched for
hours without success. I was yielding
to despair and wandered into the back
garden.
"Suddenly Fldo capered about mo
with something In his mouth , it was a
handkerchief. I took it. A glance
made my hear htop blood Mains. I
examined that handkorehief as a forlorn
digger would gold dust.
"It was a woman's. It was marked
P. H. , No. . ' I rccugni-/.ed it and
kiicw the owner. I smelt it. What a
peculiar scent ! I ronowcd my search
with vigor.
"It was evident that the criminal It ml
escaped by the back wav. Hovlvlng
hope fired me. Inch by Inch t scrutin
ized floors , walls , windows , anything and
everything , large and small. For thrco
days I hunted unceasingly.
"My total discoveries were some
threads of doth torn olT whllo squco/.lng
through a small window , bloodstains on
tlio pash , arising from u cut with a rusty
nail In the wood , footprints on the
ground beneath the window.
"Tho ground was soft enough to re
ceive an impression. Very close exam
ination revealed a peculiar imprint with
a cut across. An Inspiration dawned on
mo goloshes !
"From these links how could I form a
chain1 First , the handkerchief. I
wont to Layeock's , the chemist. llo
ransacked his shop. Imt could not find
me a scent like it. I hot an arrow at a
venture.
' "You sold some to Miss Harvey , I
think ? '
" 'Oh. yes , I know now ; I got that
especially for hor. I am sorry I have
none left. '
"I reeled out of the shop. T was on
the track' 'I' . H. ' were Prlscilla Har
vey's initials ; this was her handkerchief.
" 1 went straight to her house. Dur
ing my stay t feigned having lo.st my
handkei-clili'f. She lout me tin.- exact
counterpart of the one I had found save
that it was marked 'No. 7. '
"I twitted her tluu t know she was In
the habit of lending her handkerchiefs
to gentlemen. She laughed and blushed.
1 bantered her Into confession. She had
never lent but one.
"She told me to whom. I involun
tarily jumped from my chair , but had
enough bolf-coiitrol to recover myself ,
pretending 1 had asMimcd astonishment.
"Now I had fairly run down my game.
How should I get into his house'Provi
dence aided me. I knew Ills landlady
well , a garrulous old dame.
"By dint of coaxing and presents 1 in
duced the old tlamo to lot me do as I
pleased. I talked to her of Herbert till
her head was turned. Then 1 made her
my confidant.
"I wanted to make her lodger a pair
of slippers without his knowledge. She
offered mo a pair to measure. No. I
know he had a pair of goloshes some
where.
"Buried in the corner of the wardrobe
I found a pair. I turned them up. There
was a cut across the sole of the left foot.
I trembled so violently I nearly let them
fal.
fal."I
"I took them to Musgravo's house ;
they fitted the prints exactly. J have had
the scrapings of the sole of the footprint
analyzed by the chemist , who Miys they
are identical.
"I have traced the suit of clothes and
ean prove the purchaser and dale of pur
chase. But one thing remains undone.
"I swore I saw Herbert three minutes
after the murder close to the back of the
house. As Herbert is dark and the cul
prit light , he must have disguised him
self , which proves design.
A local hairdresser says ho lent the
same man some wigs , wliiskers , etc. , for
private theatricals. Certainly no pri
vate theatricals have taken place , while
he had them before and returned them
after the date of the murder , so that
they were in his possession then. "
"You astound me , a girl like you , witli
such astuteness. It pusses my compre
hension. "
"Don't you think I have good grounds
for his arrest ? "
"Certainly. Who is he ? "
"Mr. Satloy , the curate. "
Mr. Carter fairly leaped from his chai
with an irreverent expression of sur-
