We hi th* been man and wife a number of years, | *4, by my hope of heaven, we have yet to have the first harsh word. She could always get, and did have whatever she wished, so far as 1 was able, and us she knew my circum stances financially, she could lave at any time gotten $125 without committing such a crime, by asking for it. Why, at the time Mrs. VVimpee died, I bal SI,OOO to my credit at McGhee & Bros., aud the books will show it.” Then he continued: “I have now in my possession notes given by Mrs. W impee to me for S3JO borrowed— money that I borrowed to loan to her be cause she offered such high rates of interest. My wife knew all of this, and knew that she oould get money from me at any time.” Turning to the reporter Mr. McKee said: “There are things that will cotno out on this tr.al, of which I am not at liberty to speak, but I can say that I think Mrs. Dietz a heartiest woman to testify so flippautly in this matter,” FLORIDA.

April A—A concentrated drive at the market was made by toms of the heaviest operators as soon as trading got under wav,and they were powerful enough to maintain througout the entire session the advantage they aecur- dat the start. The result of ’he day s opsrati >ns in wheat was a break in May of and in July of 19ac- Corn, oats and provisions acted in unison with wh~at. The entire crowd started to underbid each other, offers to sell varying all the way down from $1 05 to $1 0114. and there wa no buying to speak of above the lowest of these prices. The trading was enor mous for a few minutes, but the vast number of selling orders in the hands of commission houses limited all around $1 05 wore impossible of execution. It was difficult to account for the very sudden change.

The corn market started with sellers at 8894 c for May and 5594 c for July. The few sales which could be effected at these prices at the opening were the highest prices that could be effected all day.
