CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE early trading was
rather light in wheat to-day, and the market
ruled quiet and barely steady for a while, then
became weak, with prices declining sc, then
rallied rather sharply, prices gaining sc, ruled
easy, and closed about the same as yesterday.
Corn was dull and easier, though at times the
market ruled comparatively steady on pur-
chases of year, November and May by promi-
nent local speculator. There was no new out
side news brought to bear on the market. The
market opened a shade below the closing quota
tons of yesterday, changed but little, and
closed 16014c lower than yesterday. Oats
were weaker and lower, due to receipts exceed
ing the estimates, also to the fact that shorts
have covered Of late and longs wanted 10 Us
load and found few buyers. Offerings were free;
pr ces receded Is D 14c, May being the weakest,
owing to the bulk of trading being for that
month. Pork was fairly active. Prices were
irregular, the market closing at about inside
figures. A little more interest was manifested
in lard, the trading being light. Prices were
advanced 2,46l5c but settled back again, closing
quiet. The market for ribs attracted little at
tention. Prices ruled 5@7lac higher for October

Mexico weekly ledger., 1889-08-15

Some time since the relatives OF
May Blanton, whom w. P. Hooton
IS accused of mistreatlng, wrote
down from Kansas City inquiring
whether he OF his folks were rich
or not. A few days since May
Blanton returned to Kansas City to
her folks and now comes all afh-
davit signed by her, stating that
Marshal Lane and wife forced her
to swear. to what she did and that
Hooton treated her like a gentle
man. We don't know how Hooton
treated her, but do know that
neither Marshal Lane nor his wife
tried to influence her testimony +;
they simply told her to swear to
the truth. We do not know what
figure this affidavit will cut, as an
appeal to the Kansas City Court OF
Appeals has been granted, and this
affidavit cannot be made a part Of
the papers in the case. The prose.
cution knew nothing of the taking
of this affidavit: and claims that il
any forcing" has been done il
has been by the defense and DOT by
the prosecution. 1t looks rather
hard to get at the truth in this case.
SO much lying has been INDUCED

HOMER BAssFoRD, who has been
city editor of the LEDGER for three
years to a day, has accepted posi-
ton on the Kansas City Times.
Homer Bassford is a born newspa-
per writer and a young man of fine
character, without a single bad
habit. The editor of this paper
takes great pride in his future and
considers the probabilities fully
equal to the possibilities. He went
to work on the LEDGER when
seventeen years old, and at once
developed into a writer of unusual
merit. His writings are all bright,
clean and crisp, while his ideas are
always couched in the pnrest OF
English, the style which is SO popu-
lar with the masses of readers. A
mere boy without any reputation,
his sketches for the past three
years have been accepted and lib
orally paid for by such Eastern
publications as PueE, which shows
clearly that they possessed true
merit. His friends-and all who
know him are his friends-wish
him much prosperity in his new
field, and are all satisfied that he
VII not stop until he finds himself

Fine Pears.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. 13.-I here
with present you a sample Of
a half bushel of pears, sent me by
express from Tyler, Smith county,
Texas, by a friend and relative
whom I have not had the pleasure
of seeing for more than thirty
years, therefore the present and the
kindly remembrance is the more
highly appreciated. 1 find some
of the pears measure eleven inches
in circumference and are very fine.
Yet when exhibiting them to
friends many say they can dupli-
cate them, and a few say they can
take the ribbon over them. He
also writes me of.two relatives, one
of whom weighs 235 pounds and

Missouri does not produce as fine
specimens of the fruits and animal
creation as his favored portion of

produce fruits fully equal to his,

Mexico and Audrain county, being

and stock raising country, can just
