CHICAGO CHANGE.
Wheat and Corn Close Strong and Oats and
Provisions Weak.

CHICAGO, Sept 27.-It was a see-saw on
Change to-day. After weakening early the
markets for wheat and corn became broad
and strong at the windup. The closing firm.
ness in wheat was due largely to the report
of very heavy export demand. Corn
rallied chiefly on the poor showing of the
Iowa crop report and the liberal freight en-
gagements reported here, vessels having
been chartered for $4,000 bushels. Com
pared with last night, wheat, notwithstand-
ing the late recovery, shows nc decline,
corn has gain of 1sc, and provisions are q
shade easier.
There were a few outside buying orders in
wheat at the stert, AMI, with stronger cables
and little for sale, the market showed some
strength. But when these orders had been
filled trade became slack, and then the
many bearish features of the situation be-
gan to be felt. The receipts in the North
west were again large-1,027 cars, against 933
cars for the same day last year-and the
amount received at the primary points

J. S. Baehe & Co. to Oakley & Co.: "The
bulls had figured on a strong London mar
ket, but in this they were disappointed. as
London sold about 5000 shares of stock in
this market to-day. AT first L. & n. felt the
effect of this selling the most, but after that
the publication of the Iowa State crop re-
port, which makes the yield of corn about
half as large as last year, was most inf1ueu-
tial, the grangers feeling the effect of it the
most.
1.-The best selling to-day was in C. B. O.,
in which about 1000 shares OF long stock
were marketed The report for August is
expected tomorrow or next day, and if it
shows up as well as the corresponding one
of last year it may be considered as favor
able. The bulls promise couple ofhundred
thousand increase but we think in this they
will be disappointed.
New York and New England loomed
again into prominence on the story of closer
relation with the New Haven road but we
think misunderstanding arises from the
fact that General Manager Mellon has re-
signed from the New England and will be
one of the Vice Presidents of the New
Haven. He is q valuable man and his con-
tract calls for $50, 900 year.
"The general market is still highly profes-
sional and We think it advisable to sell on
rallies"

National Lead Company.

The company has over Sl,0OOO0O IN cash,
more than $500 600 worth of supplies on
hand and bills receivable, and this with its
real estate, machinery, patents, ETC., make
its total present cash value precious near
S25 600 900. Take the Sl50OO, 900 preferred at
par and the $l5. .0O0, 600 common at $50, the
total valuation of the property would be
S2x 600 600, while its power to earn interest
would be on at least its full $50, 100000 capi-
tai stock. The common stock will get a
dividend before many months or else the
cash will be employed in q way sure TO give
big returns. In industrials, more possibly,
than in railroads, the profits of the business
are due to the skill, integrity and ability OF
the management. 1t isnot fattery to say that
Colonel w. I. Thompson, who directs the
Lend Company, and who is probably its
largest stockholder, possesses all these
qualities. We regard the preferred stock as
stock Is steadily increasing in intrinsic
value, which will tell upon its market price
later-if not at once Watson & Gibson.

POLITICS IN OREGON.
Republican Convention Today Win
Nominate Two Consressmen.

Republican Convention Today win
Nominate Two Congressmen.
PORTLAND, April Especial The Re-
publican state convention, which meets in
this city tomorrow, is of national import
.ance, since it will nominate, in addition to
the delegates to the national convention,
two members of congress, who are to be
chosen at the regular state election on the
first Monday in June. Owing to the in
crease in population as shown by the Sec
ond edition of the census, Oregon became
entitled to two congressman instead
OF one, as heretofore, and in the division of
the state into districts by the last legislature
the boundaries were so arranged that,
judging from the votes of previous years.
both districts could be trusted to return
Republican congressman. The main
boundary line of the two districts is the
summit of the Cascade range, which di-
vides the state into the two natural SUBJ
divisions of Eastern and Western Oregon.
Western Oregon contains all the largest
cities, and as whole is strongly Repub-
lican, while Eastern Oregon, the home of
the miner, stockman and wool-grower, is
safely Democratic.
Owing to the great difference in popula-
ton between the two natural divisions of
the state. it became necessary to add a
portion of Western to Eastern Oregon.
This was done by taking the three counties
of Clatsop, Columbia and Multnomah, the
latter including the city of Portland, and
all strongly Republican. The Democrats
raised the cry of gerrymander, but the
Republican legislature defended its action
on the ground that as these three counties
lay contiguous to the Columbia river, all
their interests were identical with those of
the Eastern portion of the state which is
drained by this great natural waterway.
Biuger Hermann. the present Republi-
can congressman, is, resident of the
Western portion of the First district, He
has been in Office three terms, and has
given general satisfaction to the people of
the state. There are two or three younger
politicians who would like to succeed him,
but there is no doubt whatever of his
nomination tomorrow nor of his election
next June. The condition of things in the
Second district is, however, far different
There are at least dozen candidates from
Eastern Oregon, to say nothing of two or
three in the lower Columbia river coun-
ties. So far as the preliminary strength is
concerned, any one may win. One thing
is certain, the nominee will be an Eastern
Oregon man, as that section will unite
against the lower Columbia men. The
Republicans are harmonious this year,
the differences between the party manag-
ers which existed a year ago having been
amicably settled.
