CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The wheat market was
held up for while early by influences which
did not last, and before O'Clock the market
was very heavy at decline of lie from the
early price. Early cables were firm. Dunn
q Co. had bullish advices from Paris about
poor quality Of wheat and Danubian i'm
ports. Receipts in the Northwest were quite
moderate, Minneapolis 248 cars and Duluth
245 cars. There was a small decrease on
ocean passage, 2Os, 900 bushels. The trade
got the impression that Hutchinson was de-
pressing the market to buy to advantage.
With these conditions December wheat
opened at S1.017s, sold at $1.O1A and up to
$1.O21s. May sold at $l.O6ss and up to
$1.O6ss. The buying was led by Mitchell.
Logan Co.. Dun d Co., and Hutchinson ON
the quiet Clifford and Brosseau led the
selling. The trade was bearish, and
they Kept on selling. The weakness
in silver was used as a bear argu-
ment. The excellent weather for threshing
and moving grain was another The light
clearances $4,000 blu from New York and
none from Baltimore, was another. This
was followed about noon by dispatches say
ing that the increased movement of wheat
to markets in the Northwest was sure to
come at once. This encouraged selling by
shorts and brought out some long wheat.

egan sliding down. After the best prices
were reached early, there was a slight de-
cline to $1.O12 December. and ST. .O6sa May.
From these prices the decline was slow until
after midday, when prices went off sharply
to $1,000 December, and $1.O5A May. It
was reported that the English visible supply
showed increase of over 5000, 900 blu.
Stocks in private elevators In Minneapolis
were given at 100000 blu against
10000 blu a week ago. The
market was tending downward at
! O'Clock. The wheat market was depressed
to the very last. The prices of December
was forced down to S1.OOss, closing at
$1.0O12, or 19c under last night. September
sold at 98a4c, and off to &c at the close.
May closed at BLOB. The advices from the
Northwest continued bearish. great deal
of long wheat was sold out. On the curb
puts on December wheat sold at 99Ac and
calls at S1.O1A. Corn advanced early on
purchases by Hutchinson. but when he
withdrew the tendency was downward, and
the market closed at fractional decline
rom last night. Oats closed steady and 1sc
higher. The provision market was weak
from the opening to the close. Armour was
seller of ribs, and Singer was again cred
tied with pressing sales. October pork closed
at $3.50, compared with $3.50 yesterday;
January and May closed 17I2c lower. Lard
declined sc to 7l9c, and ribs 7l2c.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

child acknowledges that she discovered
all the mischief, but says that Mrs. De-
vaud told her to be on the lookout. The
damage for which Minnie is said to be
responsible consists in suit of clothes

said to have stolen several pounds of
candy from the school teacher and a
scarf pin from the hired man. Having
convinced themselves that Minnie was
the guilty party she was accused. and,
of course, cried. The deputy sheriff came
out with the warrant and the child, almost
frightened to death, was arrested and
taken to town. The notes found in the
house were shown to her and she was
told to copy them. She took great
pains, and the copy resembles the orig
inal and is convincing proof in the eyes
of the Clintonville detectives that Min
ME is the guilty party. Some of the
more sympathetic people try to make
out that Minnie is insane, and Judge
Ogden has issued an order for the child
tn he examined before him Tomorrow
by Drs. Finney and Goodrich. MIR. and
Mrs. Hoffsmlth are positive that their
child is innocent. She has always been

Our attention has been called to the
numerous bogus books that are adver.
tised and sold on subscription purport.
ing to give the history Of Stanley's re
cent adventures in Africa None Of
these bogus works are written by Stan.
ley. In fact Stanley's genuine book il
not yet written, and no living man in
America knows enough of its contents
to issue a prospectus. The genuine
Stanley book will be written by Henry
NJ. Stanley himself; will be entitled
"In Darkest Africa" and will bear on
the title page the imprint of "Charles

and fraudulent, no matter by whom

worst of these bogus books, entitled,

this book gives an illustrated and de-
