The improvement ranged from three points on June and July, four points on October, December and March. 5 >olnts on November. 6 on January, 7 on September and 8 on Au gust to 12 points on the current, or spot month. The week opened with a sharp advance on all new crop positions and after a slight downward turn on Tuesday, moved up again and continued to show consid erable strength until Friday, when a great Improvement in weather conditions through the belt Influenced a decided change in sentiment and prices fell away prom that time on until Saturday clos .ng. The outlook for this week is rather in favor of lower prices. Clear sunshine prevails over almost the entire belt and, while there have been no curtailment of spots, a continuance of fair weather will doubtless have (he effect of deprsslng prices especially on the new crop. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET Chicago, III*. —Although wheat showed some strength In sympathy with higher cables prices later weakened on account of lack of support. Selling from specu lators became general on the advance. Opening prices were l-Bal-4 to 1-4 high er hut afterwarth the market sagged to below Saturday night's level. Argent na reports that new crop ar rivals were in poor condition tended to make corn here firm. The market open ed 1-4 to 1-2a5-8 higher and seemed In clined to hold nearly all of the advance.

The im provement was not checked by an nouncement of arrangements for expor tation of $2,000,600 more gold; or by the discouraging tone of advices from for eign financial centers. Buying of stocks while not heavy proceeded steadily. Rep resentative shares, such as Canadian Pa cific, Union Pacific, Lehigh Valley, Great Northern and Reading were lifted to 1 to 1 3-8. Bonds were irregular. Trading lacked snap in the afternoon but buying continued in a small way and most stocks topped their earlier prices. A decline in American stocks in London was followed by selling here for European account amounting to about 10,000 shares. The market, closed easy.

WEEK IN’FINANCE New York.—Temporarv satisfaction of the demand from the shorts left last week's stock market in a bad condition. This was aggravated by lessening of sup port In the success of mediation In Mexi co and toward the end of the week the market lost ground. Disinclination to embark on speculation either for a rise or fall, was a characteristic. The crop prospect constituted a basis for confidence. The government report formulated the promise of a winter wheat crop a hundred million bushels in excess of last year's heavy yield, and de fined the forward state of other crops. Business, however, still hesitated. Hand to-mouth buying of merchandise, cau tious lending by banks, and the prefer ence of Investors for short term securi ties all manifested doubts. The Influ ence of declining steel markets wgs supplemented by the decreasd copper consumption and the growing number of Idle 'relght cars. Curent earnings re ports of the railroads were somewhat better by comparison, with a poor pe riod last year, and with the advantage of economies this year. Shifting of the demand for gold from London to New York threatened stiffen ing of Interest rates for money although the accumulation of funds here on trans actions with the interior and the small requlremnts of the business world made unlikely any marked lightening of the money market In the Immediate future. The struggle with credit troubles for the various railroads burdened the whole market. The selections for the federal reserve board made a good Impression. In Europe apprehension was renewed over Ulster nnd the Balkans with the suspicion that gold absorption was going Into war chests. WHY SUBSIDIZE THESE?

The National Board of Censorship steps in and forbids any mention of what she witnessed, unfortunately, but it is, of course, a gala day for the Court when Pinkey appears at all, In whatsoever capacity, and It calls for notice. A month has passed since her last appearance. She has been good on account of chills and fever, she sai(j. Of all the stars and prima don nas, she is the first,—with the possi ble exception of Annie Ware. But An nie spends so much time at the Stock ade that she can scarcely do herself justice. tit is Annie, of whom it is said, that she has not had 24 hours out of jail for eighteen months. ‘‘She gets drunk time she gets home," as she says herself.) But Pinkey often gets off, so that she can come up more frequently. This is owing to a strange and almost unprecedented fact about her; —that whatever she may say in court, however damning to herself, it is always the Sublime and Celestial Truth. The judge believes implicitly every word she says, and it is use less for these niggers to get up and contradict her. It was thought that a little Biogra phical Sketch would not be amiss In calling attention to Who was Who at the Barracks. Melinda Mitchell, colored, and her friend Oliver, were arested jointly Sat urday night, for cutting each other. The story was told by a female wit ness as follows: "Well, sir, dis fuss dey had started tong time ago. Melindy, she used to stay wid White People up 'roun' Cen ter street. But he used to go up dere! and raise so much sand, dey had to turn her out. Well, 'bout a week ago she come to me and ast me wouldn’t I take her to Boad. So I taken her een my house. Sat’day evenin’ he come up to de house and tole her, he say: ‘Come on, Melindy, pack up yo’ things and git out o’ here. You got to come wid me.’ She say she caint move right then, she’ll move Monday. But she kep’ on sayin’ she couldn’t move tell Monday, cause she couldn’t git her things moved out. But she didn’t have nothin’ but a folding bed an' a trunk. Den he say he'd tote de things home for her. But she say she aint goin' to move nohow. And he didn’t do a thing but pull out a great big old long knife and jobbed her een de arm. Den he cut at her agin and sliced her up right bad on de other arm. But when he went to cut her de third time, he got a-holt o’ de knife backwards, some way, and cut his own self. Das how come he to be cut. She didn’t have no knife ” This was obviously true, and the judge dismissed Melindy, and fined Oliver $25 or 5 days, with a bond of $l5O to the city court for stabbing.

BRIDGE The North Augusta bridge was the scene of a dramatic episode today at 3 o'clock p. m. A colored man named Walter Clark, who will be remembered from a shooting scrape of some time ago, got In an altercation on Satur day night with an egro named Chris Twiggs.
