NEW YORK , Oct. 8. ( Special ) Henry
Clews of the banking house ot Henry
Clews & Co. , wrltm :
The week's business on the Stock ex
change ope-ne-d with u disappointment ot
the hopes cherished at the closn of thu
provloiiH week's operations. In anticipation
Of three days' suspension of business thcio
wns much rcalblng on the two days pre
ceding the Uewe-y icccptlon and It was
rcn onnd thnt thlH Belling and the full In
prices which It hud produced would ho
followed with u strong nnd rising mar
ket on Monday. This reasoning seemed
plausible , but It did not sullklcntly reckon
upon the possibilities of unforeseen con
tingencies llviwuii Thursday and Mon
day the drift of events was unpropltlous
and this week opened with a decided pre
ponderance of "bear1 Influences The Af
rican Kltuatlon had become so critical thnt
the avoidance of vvnr fcucinod almost be
yond the power of diplomacy , for although
iiiKlnril Momed to bo sotti nlng her nttl-
tudo yet the Hoers were yielding lo the
Impulse1 of a vvnr fe-vcr which Krtiger
might prove unable lo control. The Hank
of llnglaud had advanced Its minimum
rate of discount from 3'i ' to 4' per cent ,
which wni followed by u like tlsc In the
London open market In sympathy with
this expression of the great bank n esti
mate of the situation foreign oxclmnga
suddenly became firmer and last week s
hopes of early Importations of gold had
to bo Indellnltely di-fernd. Indeed , In thu
estimate ; ot Home , It had become a ques
tion whether we might not have to ship
the metal to London .Most people seem to
have overlooked the fact that , on Monday ,
some J15,000OUO had to be transferred fiom
the banks to the city treasurer In pay
ment for taxes and they only realised the
Importance ot this fnctor when 40 per cent
had to be ptld for money on the Block
exchange. 'Jhe statement of the associated
banks showed u loss of $1,230,000 In ru-
Berves , the surplus over legal requirements
being onlv $1721,000 , compared with nn
nvorngo of J2IVJ.CKW ( nt the same date of
the live preceding \ears The oxpeetntlon
of a falling oft In the shipments of money
to the Interior was dlsippolnted and bunk
um had come to the conclusion , from the
high rates of exchange with Interior points ,
that wo have to face a still considerable
outflow of currency to the west and noutli
This wns the changed aspect of nffnlrs
with which the week opened The effect
amounted to almost a paralysis on the
Block oM-hnngp For the llrst throe days
of the week the transactions aggregated
only 1,101'iOO shares , or little moro than
one-third the volume on nn nctlvc market
Outside speculators stood nloof and the
prlnclpnl buyers , other than covering
"bears , " were a few strong opera tois , who
puichnsed for future use on the more ex
treme depressions. To add to these de
pressing conditions London was a free
sellct of our securities on. Holiday and
Tuesday , whllo Berlin was understood to
be carrying a large amount of Amerlcnns ,
which might bo thrown on our market
In the event of the mone-y prebSUie In
London becoming more severe. During thu
first half of the week moncv wns ex
tremely scarce and , though there was a
largo contracting of discounting , many of
the over-extended stock houses had to pay
as high ns 10 per cent eich oE the tlnco
days In the open market
On Wednesday , however , there were
symptoms of a halt In the demoralising
tendency of affairs The money paid ou
In taxes was returning to the banks ; for
eign rumors Indicated a possibility th it
war In Afilc.i may after all bo avoided ,
and , under Indications that the advance
In the Dank of Kngland rate Is turning
the tide In favor of London , there was
n general Improvement In tint market
nnd comparatively free buying of Ameri
can stocks On Thursday , however , these
symptoms lost their encouraging fence
from the news thnt the Rank of 12ng-
land had lost Cl.UiKi.OOO gold during the
week and had further advanced Its dis
count charge to C per cent , whllo the
Bank of Austria nnd the Hank ot Bombay
had also put up their rate This evidence
of Inci casing pressure ! In Kurope , together
with largo current clemnnels for currency
from the Interior banks , conflrnicel the
Impression that the stringency had not
passed nwav , but the eMromo rntcs for
money nt the Stock exchange , however ,
seem to have dlsappearcel.
Hlioek to Iiiv
Talcing mesa happenings as a whole ,
they lm\o proved a seveio shock to the
Investment market , the moro so because
H had been , pel haps eiulto gcnurally ,
that this week would Inaugurate the re
turn ot easier conditions nnel prepare the
way to a comparatively c'irly revival of
Bpcculntlon. Under the clicumsUinces a
luvlilon of estimates as to the early fu
ture becomes necessary The homo money
maiket Is the commanding factor In the
Situation here and that element Is depend
ent on the coiirce eif the foielgn exchanges
and the remaining demand for money
from the Interior The advances of H
per cent In the Bank of England rate
Hhovv the urgency of the bank's position
nnd ItH resolution to ( strengthen llwelf
from all possible t-ourccs In preparation
for whatever may como out of the Af
rican position , so that. If these rlees prove
liiHufllclcnt , n further udvunco may bo ex
pected In the latter contingency n return
of securities from London and Berlin
would not bo unlikely , It could be only
n question of the volume of the rellnx
Bomu Important chnngcs In the Loiului
situation must occur before wo can fee
assured against possible exports of gold
thither , mill more before \v can hope
for Importations of specie , Thus one oi
the chief expectations of nn early rellei
to the ic-sorvcs of the banks Is Indefi
nitely postponed ; It ce i es te > bo an ele
ment In estimate's of the moio Immediate
prospective inniioy supply. The .outlook
for relief from domestic resoinc < 'S Is by
no me-aiiH equally discouraging It seems
eiulto likely that. It money could bo easily

this market further considerable amounts
of currency. But , with such a high state

The greatest dllllculty experienced th a

bo traced to the losses which the batiks hnve
itii'tnlncd to the treasury at'el ' HIP slowness
of the rontlne-nt to respond by exports of
gold to the usual Incentive of rising In the
rates here Conservative opinion favors the
statement thnt the tldo must turn soon
and that the general Rituntlon will Improve ,
but there nro b.inkers In New York who
nssert that even If the Interior movement
censes soon , the How of money to thl" i en
ter .igaln will be much slower thnn usual ,
since business requirements vvnirnnt Its
emplojmcnt elsewhere. Thu grain nnd cot
ton exports from now on will be u factor
not to be Ignored nnd It Is ellfllcult to see
how the shipment of gold th s way Is to

CHICAGO , Oct. 7 Monday Is a holiday
on 'change and the uncertainty of nffalrs
n the Transvaal made grain and provision
markets dull In the extreme today Evcn-
: ng up transactions comprised most o
Iho trading and fluctuations were small.
Wheat closed % Jisc higher , corn 3,4c
iilgher , oats a bhado lower to a shade
higher and provisions 2'ic higher.
Homo uncertainty was HhoWn by wheat
at the opening. There was nothing In
the news to justify u stiong movement
In either direction and the heaviness of
Friday's close was In consequence felt a
little , though opening prices were un
changed. A Httlo moro disposition to buy
developed and the maxket gradu illy took
on an appearance of firmness , prices ad
vancing bllghtlv and maintaining the small
advantage to the close of the short ses
sion. At tlio start there was a Httlo sell
ing by the seaboird. As this Indicated a
lack of export demand It Induced home
lleiulelntlon by local operators , but shorts
covered Immediately nt the slight decline
thnt resulted. The covering by shorts was
ono of the few Important features of the
session. Though never heavy , this buyIng -
Ing was sufllclent to maintain prices. An
other sustaining feature was the light
ness of northwest receipts , Minneapolis
reporting 7JO cars , compared with S7fi last
week nnd 1,112 cars a year ago Chicago
receipts were also light , 155 cars , three
of contract grade- Total primary lecelptc ,
were 1158,000 bu , agilnst 1,4S4,000 bu. last
year. Clearances did not give any Indi
cations of a falling off In the export de
mand. The totnl was 7S7.000 bu The mar
ket was also helped a Httlo by the firm
ness of corn Business dtopped off. greatly
as the session progicssed nnd near the
close the market was almost at a btand-
Sllll , but pilce-s were well maintained.
World's shipments wcro expected to reach
8,000,000 bu. nnd the visible was expected
to show a heavy Increase Winter wheat
points reported a good cash demand , with
light countiy offerings. December opened
a Hlinelo higher nt 7Jc. It sold at 723afj >
72Vfec shortly after thu opening , then ad
vanced to 72Hc and was bringing 7- c

Corn wns rather quiet but ( Inn. OfferIngs -
Ings wcio light nnd tlio demand good , with
moro outside trade. The falling off in in
terior receipts vvas a bull factor , Monday's
estimate of only 510 curs attracting- consid
erable attention , There vvas some evenlng-
up tr.ido near the holiday. The trade Is
gradually getting over into May. lle-

Oats wcio dull and about steady There
wns some buying of May early , which ad

CATTISH Not enough cattle of nny ono
kind wcro on sale this morning to in.iko a
test of the market and the J'.irds had tlio
holiday appearance usual on the Inst day
of the week. With so few cattle hero no
change could bo quoted 111 thu market on
nny kind of cattle. Ono bunch of pretty
good beef steers brought $5 S > 5 , with a few
out. The same cattle fcolel j'cstcrdny
straight at $375 , nnd earlier in the week
they brought $5 SO , with a few out. This
would Indlc.ito th.it there has been but
Ilttlo If any change em Hint kind of cattle
during the week. Jlost evctj thing in the
j arels vvas sold before the close.
The week has been characterized by a
lingo run of western cattle , the most of
them from the range , and a v ery largo
proportion not of very good eiuallt\ . Under
the Inlluenco of the largo offerings the
market has gradually worked downward
The best kinds of cornfod steers h iv e re
mained Just about bteady , as thej1 havei
been In light biipply. On the other hunt !
cornfed steers of the quality that Is selling
at $5W > J(5GO , aie a ilttlo lower for the
week , posslblj- lOc off Grass beet steers
received have genet ally been rather on the
common order and the nimket can tafc'ly
bo etuoted 23c lower on them.
Cows and heifers weie also lower for the
week , as a rule lOfTl e1 off , for the hlx daja.
Hulls have cased ofC some , but still they
have been In good demand right nlong.
The most of the cattle received would ,
como under th hoael of stackers or feeders
and they are 15ft25c lowci. A largo proportion
tion of the gcneial run of the feeders now
being marketed are selling nt prlccb that
arc fully COc lower than the high time near
the opening of the i.ango season. The very
bcbt cattle arc not that mucvli off , for the
ro.i'-on that renlly cholco cattle have by no
means been plentiful. At tlio close of the
week the yards vvero well cleaned up
HOGS It wag the last day of the week
and the receipts of hogs were liberal , but to
equalize matters mere was a goou elemanel.
The icsult was a feteady market , with the
general tro.dc In pretty good condition for
he last day of the week. IJuyers were out
early nnd the hogs were practically all sold
n good season. Some choice light hogs
> rought $450 the same ns yesterday. Gooel
Ight mixed loads sold at $ f 40ff4.4o and some
\ery prime heavy hogs > at $1 ! j. As high as
4 37'fc was paid for -very pilmc hogs we'gh-
ng close to uOO pounds Heavy packing
logs were slow all the morning and the
close was dull and rather weak.
Receipts of hogs this week have been
arge , though not quite up to the very
leavy run of the week before The market
an a whole has been In satisfactory condl-
lon , the trade on most days being rc.a"on-
ably active. The week opened at an ad
vance , and showed still greater strength on
Tuesday , which proved to be the high day
ot the week On Wednesday ami Thursday
ho tendency was lower , and It vvas not
until Friday that there was any reaction ,
nnd then only a slight gain. As a whole
the range ot prices was n Httlo lower than
Tor the previous week. Tlio table of av
erage prices will show Ihe exact fluctua
tions for each day.
6HEiP The tendency of the market on
both sheep and Iambs has been lower this
week , owing to the demoralized condition
of eastern markets Friday's Chicago Drov
ers' Journal quoted the market at that point
ns 405J60C lower for the week on western
ambs , while sheep have not suffered qulto
so much. With the Chicago market In that
condition , it could hardly bo expected that
the market at this point would be nny too
good , and still there ha been a local de
mand nt this point of sufficient proportions
as to keep the market In reasonably decent
slinpe.
The feeder market has been a drng all the
week , with prices lower , lluyers seemed all
of a sudden to get enough and the demand
fell short off.

1. A .suit by a Judgment creditor tinder
section 512 , Code of Civil Procedure , to re
cover a cts of his debtor not reachable by
execution , can be maintained onlv where
the debtor had himself an actionable de

2 A sale of corporate assets , nndo by nn
agent In e\ce s of his authority , will be ,
ordinarily , latllled by the acts ot the cor
poration In dealing with the puichaser as
the owner of the property ,
3 The sale of corporate property and the
disposition of the proceeds thereof being
distinct acts a director may be qualified to
vote upon a proposition to ratify the sale ,
although disqualified from voting upon a
question affecting the application of the
purchase money.
4 Ratification of the unauthorized net ot
a corporate ofllccr may be Inlcricd from
silence , Inaction and other clicumstanccs
Indicating acquiescence and consent.
r The nuthoiity of counsel to file a plead
ing for ono of the parties to an action can
not be first raised In this court.
C. The rule that when a principal , with
knowledge of all the facts , adopts , or
acquiesces In nets done by his agent In ex
cess of his authority , lie cannot afterwards
disavow such acts , applies to corporations
ns well as to natural persons.
7. A principal will not be permitted to ac
cept and conllim so much of a contract as
may be beneficial to him and reject the
remainder.
8. Uqulty will not lend Us aid to ono who ,

There Is located In Mnnlln n plnco tint Is
the Mecca and delight of relic hunters , re-
porls Manila 1'reeJom. It contains every
thing conceivable In Uio shape ot crude
weapons of warfare , and li tha ono epot In
the clly for relics at setnl-clvlllzatlon , pome
of which show genius In the manner ot Itnl-
t.atlon ,
The collection 1'ns been accumulating forever
over two centuries and there Is no part of
It not represented by Iho arms typical of
the tribe from which they came. When n
trlbo was conquered Its munitions of war
| were eelzcd nnd brought to this junk-room
for Rafo keeping.
I'crhnpi thc\ weapons universally used
throughout the archipelago nro the bolo nnd
machete. There Is a stock of them that con
tains every description of the weapons mnJe
There Is the big awkward machete that looke
Kl > a weapon that Is largely utilized
mong the natives not only for tlghtlng , hut
or cutting c.ane , etc. With It or the bolo
native can cut sufllclcnt bamboo to bulla
is cnso or perform any kind of nrchltcct-
rnl tent llo Is handy with It nnd Is a
nngcroiis enemy at close quarters. There
ire possibly fitly different kinds of knives
nclmlcd In the collection. Some nro more
nncy than others and are Incased In hand-
omo leather sheaths. Those wcro usually
vorn ! ) ) onicers nnd nro not eo largo or
ormldable as the bolos that the rank and
10 carried.
Perhaps the most Interesting collection In
ho building Is the
bamboo anil gnopljic can
on , made In Imitation ot the artillery of the
: uropcai)9. ) It Is not likely that they ever
Id much damage to their oppressors with
lioso engines of war , for they appear to he
apablo of doing moro execution to thoao
peratlng them than to the enemy.
There Is ono kind made from one-Inch to
hrco-lnch pipe , etrongly secured to a stock
f wood In a crude manner. Some were
bound with rattan cords' It Is not pos-
Iblo that the Inventor ever Intended that
icre should bo any recoil , and consequcntlj-
t was dlfllcult for them to secure gumicra ,
s that lionornble pcelllon In the rebel nr-
illery must have- been -
- beenvery dangerous ana
npleasant.
There are some cannon made entirely of
rntnboo. The wood Is bound together b >
ron , In some Instances
, nnd If this was not
vnllablo , wooden bands made out ot bam-
oo or rattan were used. The sizes ot those
annon run nil the way from two to six
iches. ,
Then come the lava cannon balls used ,
hey are made of the lava of volcanoes , nnd
hen that was not available , stones or nearly
Ircnlar eliapo were used. There are none
f them that would cause much commotion
moiig the enemy , but they represent the
rude attempt of a people to combat tic
nodcrn methods of their oppressors.
The stands and shelves are lined with
very Kind of old-fashioned flintlock used In
arly days by the Spaniards , and afterward
ailing Into the hands of the natives. There
ro also many Imitations of those , among
hleh la that of the flint. Instead of using
Int , the Improved gun of the natives had a
mall ploo of grooved bamboo By forcing
pointed stick made of bamboo up nnd
own this groove , like the American In-
Inns' method with pieces of fir , sparks will
y and communlcalo with the pan where the
riming lays. The
barrels of the guns
made by the nnthcs
were composed of gao-
Ipe , and the woodwork was very crude.
The pabcrs and swords In the collection are
11 well tempered , although the most of
hem are poorly finished. Thrre are quite a
umber ot old Spanish swords , which they
ame by as they came by everything that
s useless.
The spears nro all ot Iho same make andre
ro possibly the most unique and creditable
hat the Islands produce. They nro highly
inlshcd , tlio wood used beJng ebony. The
ron prongs are polished and have n very
trlklng appoaianco The poles are about
Ix feet long and It is said that the warriors
ould use those weapons very dexterously.
The blow gun of the mountain tribes finds
email place In the collection There -vas
laigo collection at ono time , but the de
mand for them was so great that they soon
Isappearcd
There Is also In the collection n number of
lodels that belonged lo the ofllce of patents ,
lint represent the crude attempts ot the naIves -
Ives to Introduce labor-roving machines ,
'hero Is the model of a rice grinder tint h
ery clever , nnd It Is said that tic mn-
hlno Is now In use In some parts of the
sland. Tlio other models nro Improvements
n derricks , cane grinders and a. few ma-
hlnes for working iron. They are nil somc-
vhat unique and Interesting , as they rcprc-
ent attempts made by a race two centuries
iclilnd the times to better their condition.

the clnnco to Inject a little excitement Into

A mliiuto Inter ho wished thnt he hadn't.
Tor obvious reafloni Rjder's wagon moved

plosion had been averted ho Jumped from
hla box nnd , vvllh a shout to the motoinian ,
ran toward thoHtation to get another wagon.
Meanwhile llilngB wcro not In much boiler

Ho saw Hjiler's face for an Instant , anil his
own assumed the siiuo hue. In that lu-
etnnt Thompson liniRlnccl that his legs hail
suddcnlj been ninpulalcd , and ho sat elowtt
on the scat behind him nnd listened to his
heart beats When Ryder jumped from the
Imlf-ovcrturncJ wagon Thompson recovered
lilt nerve , and turning the lever around , ho
backed away from the wreck.
Several of the pisaengcrs hid alfo recog

streets. Thosv who did not know wlmt hail
happened ran nlso , realizing that there was

hnpponcd , started to look at the wagon , but
when they BIVV Rjdcr's face nnd hoard lilm
jell "djnamlto" as ho JuinpoJ , they retlresl
to a respectful distance.
Ryder soon procured another vvngon ami
slowly nnd carefully the boxes of explosives
wcro removed from the wrecked ve-hlclc.

A man stepped Into a drug store to buy a

shabby-looking man walked In brlskljllftcel
up the nietnl cigar end clipper , which stood
on the counter , and emptied therefrom a
small handful , more or less , of cigar clip

These ho calmly stuffed Inlo his pipe ,
stepped to the lighter , puffed away until
the tob-icco was alight and vvalkel Jauntily
away with the flavor of good cigars trailing
after him. The drug man said nothing to
him and he said nothing to the drug man.
"Oh , > es , " snld the drug clerk after ho hail
