authorities have begun new form of po-

the alleged New England deal amounts to
more than traffic contract. Money is firm

only cut of a good deal of Western partici-

"The most important feature of the mar

PROVISIONS BREAK

Under Sales by the Cudahy- Wright CLIQUE
to Realize Profits-Wheat and Oats Rule
Weak, and Corn, After Opening Strong.
Closes Barely Steady.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1S-A sharp surprise was
sprung in provisions to-day, resulting in q
lively break in prices With everything
looking bullish the Cudahy- Wright combi-
nation started in to realize on some OF their
profits Their numerous brokers began let
ting pork and lard go freely. The shorts
were quickly supplied and the general trade
took great quantities without much decline
Still the selling continued. The market
finally weakened under tho pressure until
pork broke nearly 30c, lard l0c and ribs 71%c
On January contracts. The manipulators
bought sparingly afterward and there was
partial recovery. Wheat, compared with
corn Is Unclaimed. Oats were weak and
lost from u to ssc.
There WAS not much life in the wheat
market, and the feeling was weak With
general rains, receipts again heavy and the
export demand slack there was not much,
apparently. to warrant bull sentiment
About the only thing that induced buying
was the fact that the price was considerably
below the average at this season OF the
year. But this was met by the claim that
the situation was hardly ever SO bearish.
The stocks are unprecedented, and the cur
rent receipts are on a scale that has never
been equaled, while prices abroad show an
indifference discouragfng to American ex-
porters. The LIVERPOOL cables which have
been quoted as gradually advancing for some
time. are beginning to excite come COM

They We're Il Warke Race and Could
FiEh: Like Demons.
In the old days the Iawaiians seem
to have been always ready for fighting,
and to have set about it in n most de-
hberatc way. AS a matter of course
every man was regularly drilled in the
use of spear, iavelin, sling and stone,
and all other means of offcnse and de-
Tense. In time of war, says the Para
disc of the Pacific, all were required to
follow their chief to the field, and any
man who showed any symptoms of cow
ardice had his cars slit and was led into
the camp with n rope around his body
measure which greatly assisted the
nervous in overcoming their fears.
Some of their war customs were al
most identical with those of the Fiiians,
as, for instance, the boastful shouts of
defiance, and the advance of scouts, or
of single warrior, dcridingly carry
ing only fan as if to brush away
harmless flies and challenging the foe
to attack him singly. Perhaps. in reply,
dozen spears would be cast ut him ut
once, and these he avoided by nimbly
twisting or jumping aside or STOPPING.
Sometimes he caught them in his hands
and hurled them baciS at his assailants.
Truly, civilized warfare leaves us no
such picturesque incidents rs these
The Ilawaiians carried no banners:
but the idols borne by the priests acted
rs rallying points and inspired the COM
batants with vi@or. AS flags of truce
they sent young banana trees, whose
broad and long silky green leaves
waved rs they moved. Then the chiefs
and priests of both tribes met to de-
eide on terms Of peace. This done, they
sacrificed pig and poured it's blood on
The ground, as symbol of the fate that
awaited the truce breaker.
A wreath of the fragrant MALE was
woven by the leaders of both sides and
deposited as their joint offerings in one
